The Gold in Hiding.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Mr.. Hutchins said $3.50, ,OOO, 900 OF silver
in use would bring gold out of its hiding.
He still insists he could show in twenty
ways that it would do SO, II he had time.
At the same time he says that, although
we have far more than $25O, 900 600 of sill
yer in use, a man right here in the city
has 100000 Of gold. and has kept 1t locked
up for the past two years!
Is that the proof that the use Of silver
would bring out the gold?
This Is a fair sample Of the bold asser-
tions made by the advocates of free silver.
even when the facts furnished by them.
selves prove the contrary.
If Mr.. Hutchfhs is content to rest his
case on such demonstration, his opponents
certainly will be. W. C. DODGE

by our proposition, and to just what extent
they troubled in getting the $40. This

casion to call upon us for $40 BILL and will
further say that we shall consider notice in

feat as sufficient evidence that they are en-
