"THE CRIME OF 1873,

Senator Sherman Gives Its History, and Says
That the Charges About Sscresy are Alb
surd.
Senator Sherman has written letter in an
swer to Bryan's assertion that tho silver dollar
was secretly demonetized. He says that man .
pages Of the Congressional Record show ndis.
putable proofs that the clause in the act OF
1873 stopping the coinage of the silver dollar
was not surreptitiously and clandestiney passed
through Congress. The Senator reviews tho
history of that legislation, showing that there
was an unusually long agitation, not only in
both branches of Congress- but also in the com.
mittees Of both houses, and also in the Treas
uary Department, before the bill was prepared.
The Senator says:
7" have never been able to see what motive
could have existed for secrecy in this natter.
On April %. 1870, when the bill was sent to
the Committee on Finance by the Secretary of
the Treasury, the silver dollar was worth
$l.03l2 in the markets of the world Germany
had not yet sold her silver or adopted the gold
standard. There was no indication whatever
OF the fall of silver, and no one could foresee
that it was destined to rapidly decline in price.
No one asked to have the dollar coined, aud no
one was opposed to its discontinuance"
MANY COPIES OF THE BILL.
The Senator refers to the frequent messages
between the TreuaaFy Department. and the
committees, and the unusually largo number
of copies of the reports on tho bill, and the bill
itself, that were ordered printed for distribu-
ton. The bill was studied by many men ont
side Of Congress during the three years or
more OF its consideration, and many of those
dnanciers were given hearings on this bill by
the committee. The Secretary of the Treas.
ury, in his annual reports Of 20, II, and '72
called the special attention of Congress to this
bill. In his report of 1872 the Secretary of
the Treasury said, :" suggest such alteration
as will prohibit the coinage Of the silver dol.
lar for circulation in this country" yelling
upon his reasons therefor at length. This bill
came to Congress April %, 1870, aud became
law Feb. IL. 1873 nearly three years after its
introduction, during which time it was con
stantly before the public. The Senator CON
cludes his article thuR
NOTHING SECRET ABOUT IT'S PASSAGE.
There was not only nothing secret or sur
reptitious in the passage of the act of 1879. but
every step accompanying its origin, introduc.
ton. consideration, and passage received a.
much publicity as could be given to bill. But
the silver dollar was out Of circulation long
before the law of 1873 was enacted. It was .
thing OF tho past lost to sight; conceived by
Hamilton in 1872, suspended by jefferson in
1906. practically 'demonetized by Benton and
the men OF 1884 under Andrew jackson: il.

The names Of comrades Oft remind us
OF the days Of long ago.
How they fought and died beside Us.
Names we whisper sofs and low
Names OF others who are spared Us
Even to this later day.
Deeds Of whom on will thrill rs
When you once their deeds portray.
All are honored-weli, they should be-,
All were patriots In their way,
Yet there's one comrade Of whose name
Forms the topic of this lay.
Now, his name il is not handsome,
II Is only common Bill;
Yet Ger NIL the land It's ringing.
Millions shout 10 with n will,
Shout il now on far Pacific,
Along the golden shore,
Until in far-off Washington
The echoes call for more.
Answer now from Maine to Texas.
From mountains TO the sea,
Shout out that name with loud huzzaA
Au anthem of the free.
Why should his name be honored more
Than oxher comrades true?
Wing should he strive for place above
Al other boys i'm blue?
It's not because Bill YVES mors bravo
In days OF long ago;
IT'S not because in war excelled
Nor vanquished all the foe.
He only did his soldier part,
The same rs you and me-
And helped To save q Nation then.
A peoples just decree.
Bot since the war days passed away,
In councils of the Nation
He took his place st Wasl,iagton
And abored on that station
For what was just and what was right
Aud in the peoples name
He buiided mp the Nation great
And added TO its fame.
He gave il just protection laws
That started up the mill;
Gave work and wealth unto our men-
Hurrah for Comrade Bill!
The work he did 10 not forgot,
Remembered by the boys.
A soldier champion e'er was he.
Who added to their joys;
And that is why to-day we shout
And cry with loud acclaim,
With all the comrades joining in
Wiener they hear his name.
And that is why to soldier boys
To- day speak for Bill.
As citizen or President,
He'll be our comrade still.

A BIC RESPONSIBILITY.

Those who stand as sponsors for the
coming Mckinley administration are
burdened with colossal responsibilities.
Unless their lavish pledges to tho
people are swiftly fulfilled, unless their
policies quickly result in the restora-
ton of actual and enduring prosperity
throughout all this broad land the
popular Indignation and ecorn that will
be visited upon them will exceed any
thing of the kind in the history of the
country. And this promised prosperity
must not come by fits and starts-must
not come alone to favored classes, Il
must come to all alike. Even the un-
Justly abused silver miner must share in
it. II must be general and must bear the
unmistakable marks of permanency. The
American people never before were SO
thoroughly informed touching public
questions as they are to-day and IL is
needless to add that thsy are in no tenn
per to be triasd with.
