Free Silver in the East,

In talk with Gen. g. H. Howard
while he was here we referred to the
sentiment on the Pacific coast for the
free coinage of silver, says the New
castle, Cal, News. He expressed
doubts that the people here were
much more unanimous than they
we're throughout Illinois, Iowa and
other states that we call Eastern
states. He says the News Record,
one of the greatest dailies of Chicago,
which is not silver paper, sent
out slips asking for a vote on the
question and that more than two to
one we're returned in favor Of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l regar dless OF the action of any other
nation. Gen. Howard tried it among
the farmers through the Farm, Field
and Fireside and of $4,000 returns he
received, 10000 were for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio Of l6 to 1, and 5000 for the pres
ent gold standard.
