Washington. January 70, lSS
The speech of Scnator-elect Foraker, ae-
llverod before the Ohio legislature
causing considerable comment here, owing
to his seemingly friendly attitude toward
| silver. A.,
The silver advocates are claiming MIN
as an accession to their ranks. but the
sound money men point to the qualifying
expressions In the speech in refutauon OF
| the claim. Here Is what he said:
II believe also IN bimetallism. | believe
! TN. world made mistake when II de-
! mouetlzed silver. / sincerely hope some
! safe way may be found lor the restoration
of silver to its rlghtful place alongside OF
gold as a money of ultimate redemcption.
| shall favor every measure calculated IN
| my Judgment, TO bring about thar result
subject always, however, to the condition
that n provides for the maintenance of
! the parity of the two metals. Every do!lar
! of money issued by the United States
| rovernment whether gold, silver, or pa
| per, must be of exactly equal value win
every other dollar. The United states can
| not afford to have a currency system OF a
money standard less good or less hish
| than the best in all the world. These sus-
gestions only inadequately Indicate the
heroic questions that are before US for
settlement. If they be rightly solved there
Is ahead Of us In the immediate future
greater prosperity than the American peo-
/ pie have ever enjoyed. And there Is ahead
| of us as our ultimate destiny greatness
! ord n grandeur that no language has ever
vet sufficiently described. The commission
YOU have voted me authorizes and COM
mands me to be a participator In the
solution OF these problems. | accept the
