SILVER COINAGE.

70 the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette
/ notice in late issue of the GA
zETTE reference to speech made al
Falls Church by Senator WIN. n
Stewart, OF Nevada Representative o.
the bonanza kings, in which he spoke
Of the so-called "crime Of '73"-i. e.,
the coinage act of Congress in which
the silver dollar that had ceased to be
coined was dropped from the list Of L.
s. coins. Mr.. Stewart forgot to tell his
hearers that bot. he and his colleague,
Senator Jones, participated in the crime
and voted for the bill. Silver was then
at premium and the bonanza men pre-
ferred selling it in the market for bull
lion to having it coined. 1t was the
silver kings themselves who demone-
TIED silver by refusing to coin it. The
law did not demonetize it but simply
recognized the fact that it was already
demonetized That Stewart voted for
the bill with his eyes open is shown by
speech he made year afterward in
approval OF its policy. On the 18th Of
June, 1874, Stewart said in the Senate /:
"Sir, the laboring man and the pro-
ducer il entitled 10 have his produce
and his labor measured by the same
standard Of the world that measures
your national debt; give him such money
az you require from him. You require
it from the producer. You require from
the laboring man gold to pay the interest
OF your national debt, which is right,
which cannot be avoided, if you mean
to save the national honor, but then
giuc him The anne money NTH 'chich to
pay Mat debt. The question '0il ncrcr
be settied until you determine The SIM
pie question whether the Laboring man is
entitled 10 hucc q gold dollar, if he earns
IL, or wtcther you are going 10 cheat ham
wiG something clsc. That is the up
ahot of the whole thing? Everybody
has to say that the laboring man was
entitled to good dollar. That was
fought over. They will fight it
over again, and the same party
will win. There have been 8
great many battles fought against
gold, but gold has won many times.
Gold never has compromised. Gold
has made the world respect it all the
time. The English people have
thought they could get along without
gold for awhile, but they had to come
back to it," On June II, 1874, Senator
Jones said IL believe the sooner we
come down to purely gold standard
the better it will be for the country"
According to Stewart it would
be cheating the laboring man to
pay his wages in anything but
gold. He, Coxey and Bryan are
now trying to pay his wages
in deprecated silver in order to swell
the fortunes of the Silver Kings.

WHETHER THE suspension of the free
coinage Of silver were mistake or q
crime, there is no doubt of the fact that
those most influential in the passage OF
the bill effecting that suspension, in
Guiding President Grant, who signed it,
did not know at the time it was passed
that such was either its purpose or eff
feet. Mr., Blaine, Speaker OF the House
of Representatives at the time, and
Messrs. Beck, Garfield, Voorhees,, and
Carlisle, each and all, have stated that
it was not for scme time after the pas
sage of the bill that they found out it
had prohibited the coinage Of silver. Its
passage was either very cute trick or
else those who passed it were criminala,
as political mistakes are crimes.
