The Republican congressional COM
rnittee yesterday issued large number
of copies OF the financial speech or James
G.. Blaine, from which numerous extracts
have been made of late. The speech is
printed in full as a means OF showing
that the silver utterances attributed to
Mr.. Blaine were wrung from context,
which, when given In full, presented
different views. The sub-heads to the
speech indicate the mas. psints:
Restoration OF silver impossible with
out the cooperation Of Europe"
"Our silver dollar must be worth 100
cents on the dollar"
Free coinage, at 1G TO I, would force
US to a single silver standard"
1--WE need both gold and silver, and We
can have both only by making each the
equal of the other"
AN inferior silver dollar, or cheap
paper money, would be disastrous to the
interests OF ALL"
The committee is sending large sup
plies OF the Blaine speech TO each of the
state committees. and 1t asks that all
requests for supplies be made 20 the
state committees.
