HOW TO SETTLE TT.
Only One Way Out of the Silver Oues
49,. Srs Sroooraas~oa,, VUo~na-

OnIy. One Way Out of the Silver Oues-
ton, Saws Congressman Warner,
Ex-Congressman John De Witt War
ner opposes ex-Congressman Richard
P. Bland in a discussion of the money
question in the New York Journal Of
July l. Unlike many eastern men, Mr.
Warner has high opinion of the abil-
ity, character and motives of the silver
people. He thinks that both the leaders
and those in the ranks of the 16 to 1
army are earnest, Industrious, sober
and God-fearing American citizens,
who are smarting under actual griey-
ances as to the real cause, of which
they are greatly mistaken. We quote
the following as part of Mr.. Warmers
views:
This proposed law to make people ac.
cept silver is not asked for by anybody
who wants silver 1t is just because
people do not want silver and will not
take it unless compelled to do so that
our free silver friends want law to
make them take it. The only people
who want the law are, therefore, not
those who want silver, but those who
want to get rid of silver, or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
more cheaply, want to make their cred
itors take it instead 1t may be said
that, as to future matters, we could
make special contracts calling for gold
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver AS a matter of fact, a
large and increasing proportion Of con-
tracts do provide specially for payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
hears Of silver contracts. The reason is
no one prefers silver except for the pur-
pose of forcing it upon some one else
The most serious feature of the pres
ent situation is not so much the predic-
ament in which we find ourselves as
the apparent disposition in both parties
not to take the only way out, which, il
may suggest it, is to accept the sit
uation that the commerce of the world
has created for itself, to recognize its
general acceptance of the gold stand
ard, and leaving to commerce the
things that belong to commerce, to re-
sist any attempt at interference either
NY OuI OWA SONSI
or by any combination between it and
those of other nations.
Personally I believe gold to be far
superior to any other standard that is
even remotely practicable, but if our
commerce preferred silver l should
consider it measureless impertinence
on the part of congress to interfere
with that preference, And so, certain
as I am that our commerce finds 1T
more profitable and natural to use gold
as a standard, l am all the more OPP
posed to any attempt by congress to
interfere with the natural course OF
business. Bad as would be
the effect of free silver, more and more
of us are concluding that few years
of apprehension and financial paralysis,
such as we have had, would be more
damaging than the actual experience of
free coinage of silver, trial of which
would at least establish certain facts
and destroy sundry decisions.

reason, as he stated, there was nothing
to warrant the finding of probable cause
to believe the defendant guilty of the
charge, or of any offense.
Mr.. Buckmaster said the testimony
presented was sufficient and he cared
to make no arguments.
Justice Slater bound the defendant
over to the next term of circuit court
for trial without bail.

and glorious country upon the magnificent
opportunity now opening before us to re-
store to our people the use OF silver and
gold as the money Of final payment and
thus bring to the wage Garner and farmer
the prosperity Of former days.
We condemn the efforts Of certain alleged
democrats to antagonize the expressed
will of the majority Of the delegates of the
national convention, and rejoice that their
action has been the means OF exposing
their hypocrisy and showing to the world
that personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT is their motive
rather than party success, or the public
good.
In our candidates we present to the
American people men of unblemished char
acter and unquestioned ability, who are
under no obligation to trust manipulators
or corporate wealth, whose sole aim and
ambition will be the faithful discharge OF
public duty rather than the payment of
personal obligations as the mortgaged
candidate Of our opponents will be com
PEELED to do. We call upon every loyal
democrat to work earnestly and untiringly
from now until election day for the sue
cess of Bryan and Sewall and for the re-
turn of the prosperity enjoyed by our coun-
try before it was betrayed into the hands
of Wall Street gamblers and foreign money
lenders by INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest
officials.

Edgar Stoddard has gone from among us,
but his memory will always remain with us.
His life is an open book, every page of which
is spotless and pure. 1t was my good fortune
to be a student in his Office for three years,
and during that time learned to love and
respect him. He was always kind, always
sympathetic, always sincere, and he impressed
everyone by his quiet but firm adherence to
the principles of truth and integrity. He
believed that example was better than pre-
cept, and his life exemplified that belief.
AS lawyer he was by those who did not
know him intimately underestimate. He
was of judicial temperament a close stu
dent, and a careful advocate. While he was
not eloquent, he always commanded the at
tention of judge and jury and his words
oftentimes impressed one more than the
words of a more eloquent man because of his
earnestness and sincerity.
Windham county bar suffers great loss in
his death, and the people, both the rich and
the poor, whose servant he was, lose con-
scientious and trusted adviser and a true and
large hearted friend.

The most marked characteristic of the late
Edgar w. Stoddard, was his complete honesty
of purpose, in his attitude toward court, bar
and clerks. l never knew him to offer to do
questionable act, and doubt if anyone ever
did. He was a good friend, valuable citizen,
and his loss to the community in the prime
of life is deeply to be regretted.
