TINT he did not know anything about

And how long since was It that the
Register also was praislng Carlisle as n
great financial authority? How long
since was 1t that the Register was COM
mendInE the uttcrHnCcs referred 10 as
unanswerable arguments which no sill
YER crank dared to tacklc?"
The sound money Republican press
never did abuse Carlisle for his stand on
the currency question. and the Register
is dishonest when 1t says 1t did. The
Republican press and three f0urths OF
the Democratic papers In the country
criticised his methods OF Issuing bonds
that ls, disclosing of them through Sec
ret deal, but that had no more to do with
his position with reference to the free
coinage ~ silver at the ratio OF 1G to
than 1t had to do with the Cuban war.
Does the Register think itV readers are
fools and do not remember such recent
events of history?
Speaking of changed attitudes. by the
way, mot many moons agu" the Regis
ter was denounctnE the advocates OF free
silver as "cranks." II denounced TILL

and even Bryan himself as misguided
fanatics. Now, 10 and behold" these
men are the monetary prophets OF the
wing OF the Democratic party with
which the Register has cast It's lot. Yes
verify, politics makes strange bed-rcl-

opcs how easily some newspapers can
stultify themselves and lose the respect
Of the intelligent men OF n community,
by advocating to-day what they de-
nounced yesterday as hercsy.
The Register says, The IntelliGcnccr
