Of the Manufacturers club of Philadel-
phia in repudiating the idea that the
club was for free coinage, ana in repu-
dating the conference here of certain
manufacturers as representing the views
OF the club, brought out some comments
tonight from Senators Teller and Can
non.
Senator Teller said: al am not sur
prised at the action of the club. | never
thought that the club was for silver OF
the gentlemen who came here some
were for free coinage, some for bimetal-
ism and some for the gold standard
know, however, that eventually the man
ufacturers will have more interest in the
free coinage of silver than my own state
or any other class of men"
"Why do you say so'"
Because the present monetary sys-
tenn is acting as an automatic tariff to
eep our manufactured articles out of
other countries. The manufacturers
will find after a little that they can't
compete with Oriental countries with
the SYSTEM as 1t is, and that they will
also be driven out of their own mar
kets."
Senator Cannon said. IL was sur
prised at that portion of the resolution
which contains the assumption that the
manufacturers are the only persons who
do not bargain for legislation in their
own behalf. My experience in Wash
-ngton has been that they are the most
rsistent lobbyists who come to Wash
ington. AS far as the west is concerned
we are not SELFISH on this question. We
are now producing more gold than sill
YER If this Asiatic wave should con-
tinue, we would be benefited more than
any other people. If the manufacturers
want to see an intern ational agreement,
they will die by inches. The monarch
ical countries will never consent to it."
Tomorrow is the last day upon which
the American Falls Canal company of
Idaho can file with the secretary of the
interior papers in the case of the Peo-
pies Canal company against the state of
Idaho. Commissioner of the General
Land Office Lamoreaux advised that the
case be dismissed, and pending Score
tary Smiths decision, the American
Falls company asked for and received
an extension of time before the case
should be finally closed If the state
ment is not on file in the department
tomorrow, the matter will doubtless be
settled. Mr.. Ben. Rich and others in
terested in the case have expressed the
opinion that the matter will be closed up
within day or two.
Senator Brown has introduced reso-
luton in the senate providing for the
printing of 5000 additional copies of the
publication on the economical geology
of the Mercur district. The senator
has been in receipt of many letters from
Utah asking for copies of this publica.
ton, and as only 500 had been printed
he offered the resolution, which he
expects to get passed. Senator Teller
some time ago secured an additional
5000 copies of the Cripple Creek dis
trict, and the chairman of the printing
committee will favor the report of the
Mercur pamphlet
