tanned that the fraud committed in Kan

developed and could be made available for

of both metals on equal terms, and he as
serted that any one who held a contrary
view was either ignorant or wanted 10 de-
ceive. He then quoted from a newspaper
report of a speech made by sherman at
the opening OF the last Ohio Republican
state convention. in which sherman was
reported as saying that hi-metailism con-
sisted in coming only fractional silver
coins. Teller added that this was a prac-
ticaI declaration for the gold standard.
and said in that position he would refuse
to follow the Ohio senator
Hoar asked II the fact that the commit
tee on platform of the convention of iss2
had voted down proposition for free
coinage was not properly interpreted 10
mean that the committee was opposed
TO fl.
Teller replied that many people in the
country had interpreted the declaration
to mean free coinage. but what he COM
planned of was that the platform had been
practically repudiated by the Republican
party in congress. IL was taken as mean
ing that at least at some time in the fu-
tuTe and under some conditions the party
would take a stand for free coinage The
party had done nothing TO Justify this
hope, but. on the contrary. there was now
q demand on the part of some Eastern Re
publicans that those of the party who i'm
terpreted the platform as favorable 10 sill
y
Sherman followed Teller. saying that the
newspaper extract quoted from had rep
resented him correctly. He said he be-
lieved in the use of both metals TO as great
an extent as possible. and al the same
time maintain this parity. Sherman dis
cussed the meaning of bi-metallism In
this country today the laboring man re-
ceived a dollar equal to gold worth 100
cents. But with free silver dollar the
laborifg man would be cheated of one-half
OF his dollar. The people were beginning
to understand this. They were beginning
TO learn that free silver coinage meant
cheating the creditors out OF one-half their
dues. Maintaining both metals as money
should be such that each would be equal
TO the other. That would be true bi-met-
allism. But the adoption OF free silver
meant silver recommendation, with a half
deprecated silver coin.
Sherman said that every state east OF
the Missouri river was now in favor of BIZ
metallism. They had come about slowly.
for the free silver idea at one time held
strong influence in the West and in his
own state. The senator said he believed
that even Colorado would soon refuse to
urge a deprecated dollar, and would fol-
low the course of other states for true hi
metallism. Mexico had begun 10 show the
revulsion, lighting against deprecated
money.
Teller was on his feet as Sherman closed
The senator from Ohio cannot divert
me-" said Teller, "by his old silver speech,
the same one he has been delivering for
twenty years. and the same one / have
heard so often before" Teller declared
