from it in 1878, while it remained under
gold. Silver was no longer money
| OILY commodity, and of course it fell,
measured in gold, as has ever other
commodity since that fatal day.
1t affirms that ''the friends of silver
called upon the government TO restore
the value of the metal by passing the
Bland-Allis0n act, and congress did So
This the World knows TO be false. The
friends of silver demanded, not the
Bland-AIlison act, but free coinage
act. They passed a free coinage act
through the house in 1878, and in the
senate Allison and other goldbug SEN
ators emasculated it of every essential
feature, and forced the house 10 ac-
cept, rather than obtain nothing, that
abortion In financial legislation.
Then it takes up the Sherman act Of
1890. II says of it that ''the Sherman
law was passed requiring the govern
ment to buy 100000 ounces Of silver

clared would at once put silver back

That act was another Of John Sher-

passed the senate. On its passage

Der, without a single exception, voted
against it, and the silver Republican

And so this lying goes on. A gold

clared from the first that the only law
that could restore equality to the gold

coinage law. Upon that they have
never wavered. The trouble has been

further stated that not less than two

CHESTER LONGS LATEST VOTE.

Among the twenty-six Republicans in
the house who voted not 10 pass the
river and harbor bin over the presi-
dents veto was our congressman Of the
Seventh Kansas congressional district,
Chester l. Long.
The Republicans in the house had no
difficulty in getting enough votes to
pass the bill over the presidents veto.
A two-thirds majority is needed and
more than enough was obtained.
The national house of representa-
tiyes is acting very strangely in this
matter. The constitution imposes it
a great responsibility which the house
does not seem to feel at all All ap-
preparation measures must originate
in the house. The senate was guard
ed against by the Trainers and this
responsibility put upon the house with
the idea that the representatives near
est the people shall alone start bills
calling out an expenditure of public
funds.
The present river and harbor bill
was a measure which was modest in
its way at first. But amendments up
on amendments, private snaps and 10
cality snaps were piled upon it until it
took in and called upon the expendi-
ture Of an enormous sum. A great
many congressman have a finger in
the pie 1t is not meant by this, in
ferentially, that they will individually
rake off money for themselves but they
are providing for an expenditure in
their several districts, for which their
grateful constituents will return them
with q whOop. This is not just TO the
country at large.
The country's revenues are IN terrible
shape, and as Mr.. Cleveland pointed
out in his veto message, this is not the
time to frolic in extravaganza.
Notwithstanding this the house COM
mittee on appropriations quickly re
ports in favor of passing the bill over
the presidents veto and the house
quickly passed it. Thirty-nine Demo
Gratis Joined in this overriding of the
presidents veto. Twenty-siI Repub-
Iicans voted against passing it over the
presidents veto. The Seventh dis
tricL and particularly the Republicans
in the district, were pleased TO see
Chester Long take his place in the
little squad of protesting Republicans.
The machinery Of the house of rep
resentativeS is OF course all-importsnt
10 q member of the house, but his con-
stituentcy cares nothing about it and
when il comes TO choosing between
the question OF right and the advan-
tage of standing in with 4 legislative
ring. the people OF the Seventh dis
trict expect their representative TO do
what is right and rake the chances of
being boycotted for not helping out
