through a series of very amusing situa-

dread prospect of a two-year exile to a

Ross Sp.eak~ for Ouui Money

Pe-nai. Sept. s-SpeciaL-E. w. Ross
Republican nominee for attorney gen.
era addressed a large audience here la
night. The chair was taken by Thomas
II. Dunckley. president of the Sound
None Club. After a brief review Of the
Republican policy for the last thirty years
showing that during those years this
country enjoyed the greatest prosperity
ever known b. any nation Mr. Ross da-
voted couple of hours 20 an arggImenta-
tive discussion of the money question
He exposed the Popuist idea of the money
of The constitution and proved beyond n
doubt that no such money ever existed.
The history of b.-meta@Ism was traced
from the establishment OF the mint by
Jefferson and Hamilton down to the pas
sage of the act OF 1s73. by reading ex-
tracts from the congressional proceed
ings OF the years during which the bin
revising the mint laws was before the
two houses. He showed that the silverftes
had no foundation for their statement
that the bill was fraudu.ent,y made u
law.
Mr.. Ross fully explained the difference
between the silver dollar as now coined
and the one which would exist under
free coinage. Considerable time was TAX
en- up with review OF Instances where
attempts had been made 10 have two met
as Of unequal market value run concur
rently as money Of equal coinage value,
Mr. Ross showed plainly how every at
tempt had failed and what the effect
would % III this country were such an
attempt made with free coinage. Mr.
hoss concluded by pointing out the lncon-
tslst@ncies Of the Chicago platform and
cr4'AciSiHg the methods which Mr.. Bryan
IS adopting during his stumpng tour.
