March 10. the free silver senators de-
coyed several members of the Phila-
delphia Manufacturers Club to Wash
ington and into conference upon the
subjects of protection and free coinage.
These silver men have of late been en-
deavoring to create the impression
that a protective tariff cannot be
framed which will protect us against
the silver countries unless we pay our
wage workers with the same metal as
do the employers in China, Japan, In
dia and Mexico. Unfortunately sew
eral sound money men went along
with that small contingent of the Man
ufacturers' club on the Washington
visit and they opposed the plot to theil
utmost. Nevertheless this mere fact
was not disconcerting to the free sill
yer enthusiasts. No one ever knew
them to be disconnected by fact. Ii
country that the Philadelphia manu-
facturers were willing to trade with the
silver men. Such report aroused
the Indignation of the great majority
OF the members of that club and Mon
day evening it held a meeting to place
itself on record A few silver men
were present and attempted to modify
the action of the club. They We're.
however, showed under so deeply that
they can't dig out right away. The
Overwhelming expression of the meet
| ing was uncompromisingly opposed to
! any such dicker. OF course the silver
senators assume there is no signifi-
canoe in this action. AS is well known
| they are acting upon the idea that it is
easier to start a lie than to run it to
earth If one lie peters out start
another; if one young rabbit is killed
| there are others and still others.

vantage.

Who deserve the more blame; the
so-called sound money President ana
secretary of the treasury, both whip
ping Democrats into opposition to the
deficit measure with the declaration
that there is enough revenue, or the
free silver senator's? Each party TOOK
the ground that their theories must
prevail or nothing should. when they
knew that those theories had been
discredited by actual test. Is there
anything of patriotism or statesman
ship in such an attitude? Does it not
show reckless disregard of the duty
these men have sworn to perform?
Already there is a deficiency in this
years revenue of $4,000, 600 and by
June it will probably be nearly double
that. The country is rich but helpless
because it is in the hands of these men,
who apparently have no conception of
their obligations to afford the relief
which they alone can afford under eX-
listing conditions. Every man-Jack of
them is public enemy and the fact
cannot be hemmed and hawed down.
