The men interested in the wealth
isted above have been most active in
he free silver cause. They have sew
raj million reasons for being inter
ested in the success of Mr. Bryan, and
expect by the latter's success to acquire
more millions of these reasons at the
expense to the rest of the American
people.
senator Stewart who has his mort
cages made payable in gold and who
is interested as agent and otherwise in
vast amount of silver mining prop
crty. is the inventor Of the expression.
The crime of '73," although as late as
S7l in a speech in the senate he said:
Il want the standard gold, and no
paper money not redeemable in gold.
cold is the universal standard of the
world. Every body knows what dollar
in gold is worth"
senator Stewart is now publishing a
paper called the Silver Knight. in
which he pretends TO take interest in
| the working people of the country, and
| to plead the cause of the laboring men,
| all of whom he says will be benefited
| by the free coinage of silver. How
| friendly he is to the laboring men can
| bc Judged when it is known that the
| laboring men charge him with con-
| lucting a rat office" and underpaying
| MS printers. Labor troubles on his
paper led to the open charge that Mr..
Stewart did not pay living wages to
his printers.
senator Teller, who was pushed by
| his silver friends for nomination at the
| hands of the Democrats, after he had
deserted the Republican party. has re
Gently acquired large mining interests.
Francis j. Newlands. a member of
congress- from Nevada. and agent of
The Sharon estate, was chairman of
the Silver party convention.
Two of the greatest organs published
in the interest of the free coinage of
silver and in advocacy of the Demo
cratic ticket are the San Francisco EX-
lminer and the New York Journal.
They are both run by young Mr..
Hearst, who represents the great silver
interest of the Hearst estate.
X. c. Chambers, one of the delegates
10 the Chicago convention, is part
owner in the Ontario silver mine, in
which the Hearst estate is also inter
csted. He is the general manager of
this mine. and owner of the Salt Lake
Herald. one of the hackers of the Bime-
tallic League, which isnow flooding the
country with free coinage literature.
Gen. A. J. Warner, president of this
Timetable League, is said to have re-
civcd salary for some years of sutii'
lent proportions to justify him in de-
voting his whole time to the free coin
age propaganda.
w. A. Clark, the silver king of Mon
tana, was one of Dick BANDS back
rs. When the latters chances went
glimmering he gave his support tC
Bryan.
;. T. Hauser, another member of tn,
silver syndicate, was particularly act
re during the Chicago convention. IL,
