Ter added that this was a practical dec
laration for the gold standard and said
that into that position he would refuse
to follow the Ohio senator.
Mr.. Hoar asked if the fact that the
committee on platform of the convention
OF 1897 had voted down a proposition
for free coinage was not properly inter-
preted to mean that the committee was
opposed to it.
Mr.. Teller replied that many people
in the country had interpreted the dec
Iarat1on to mean free coinage but what
he complained of was that the platform
had been
PRACTICALLY REPUDIATED
by the Republican party in congress. 1t
was taken as meaning that, at least at
some time in the future and under some
conditions, the party would take a stand
Tor free coinage. The party had done
nothing to justify this hope, but, on hhe
contrary, there was now a demand on
the part of some eastern Republicans
lnaL thoSe OF the party who interpreted
the platform as favorable TO silver
should be turned out of the party.
Mr.. Sherman followed Mr.. Teller, say
ing that the newspaper extract quoted
from mad represented him correctly. He
said he believed in the use of both
metals to as great an extent as was pos
sIoie, and at the same time maintain
their parity. Mr.. Sherman discussed the
meaning OF himetatlism. In this coun-
try today the laboring man received a
dollar equal to gold worth 100 cents But
with free silver dollar the laboring I/ln
would be cheated of one half of his
d doIiar. me people were beginning TO I'M
qerstand this. They were beginning to
learn that free silver coinage meant
cheating the creditors out of one half
their dues. The maintaining of both met
ais as money should be such that each
would be equal TO the other. That would
pc true bimetallism. But the adoption of
Tree silver meant silver monometallism
with a
HALF DEPRECATED SILVER COIN.
Mr. Sherman said that every state east
OF the Missouri river was. now in favor
slowly, for the free silver idea at one
time held strong influence in the west
ana IN his own state The senator said
ne believed that even Colorado would
soon refuse to urge a deprecated dol
lar and would follow the course of other
states for true bimetallism. Mexico had
! begun to show the revulsion of feeling
against deprecated money

The senator from Ohio cannot divert
me- SAID Mr.. Teller, "by his old silver
speeches, the same one he has been deltv-
ering for twenty years: the same one 1
nave heard so often before"
MI Teller declared that the definitions
OF plmetallism by. Mr.. Sherman were err
at state and national conventions. CON
trary TO the accepted understanding of
France and other foreign countries. The
republican party could not be stultified,
said Mr.. Teller, by the
DECEPTION AND FRAUD
and the 'bunco game" of the single gold
dqVocates. With imprisoned tones and
aSTooIIresslnS himself to Mr.. Sherman, Mr..
Lelier regulated the suggestion that the
STATE of Colorado would ever accent the
dishonest Interpretation of bimetaIlisn

Ieller, ne would cease to represent that
state ate in the United States senate

lVe1y corpse to rise up and haunt him
me SAFETY OF the Republican party"
concluded Mr.. Teller, 'lies in adherence
to honest, sound money made up of the
Two metals, side by side, as from time
immemorial," LING

the senator from Ohio (Sherman1 the
glory of its past will be obIiterated by
