you said the republican party Is In ia"
vor of the use of gold and silver as
standard money
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon-lt did not
say that. 1t said, 1--WE demand the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money"
Mr., Allen--I have the platform here.
Mr.. Stewart-And it said, I'VE con-
denim the administration of the demo-
cratic party for its efforts to demone-
tie silver" But you refuse to use sill
Yer as standard money.
Mr.. Allen--Here is what the platform
of 1892 says
The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bimetallism, and
the republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard
| money, with such restrictions and UNI
der such provisions, to be determined
| by legislation, as will secure the main
tenance of the parity of values of the
two metals so that the purchasing and
| debt-paying power of the dollar
whether of silver, gold, or paper shall
be at all times equal.
Mr.. Aldrich-We stand on that now.
Mr. Teller-No, we do not.
Mr.. Allen-The platform of 1892 pro-
ceeds:
The interests of the producers of the
country, its farmers and its working
men, demand that every dollar, paper
or coin, issued by the government shall
be as good as any other, We commend
the wise and patriotic steps already
taken by our government to secure an
international conference to adopt such
measures as will insure parity OF
value between gold and silver for use
as money throughout the world.
Mr.. Aldrich-I suggest to my friend
from Nebraska that he has had great
difficulty in times past in calculating
the platform of his own party -
Mr.. Allen-NeVer in the world.
Mr.. Aldrich-And it seems to me that
it would be more becoming in him TO
allow the platforms of the other parties
to be explained by persons who We're
members of such parties, respectively.
Mr.. Allen--No; that is altogether
wrong wanted to bring out in this
discussion and we do bring it out, the
fact that the claim of the republican
party as being a bimetallic party was u
falsehood.
Mr.. Palmer-Mr. President
Mr.. Allen-There has never been a
time when you have been in favor of
bimetallism.
Mr.. Platt--Mr President
Mr.. Palmer-Will the senator from
Nebraska allow me to ask him ques-
ton?
Mr.. Allen-Yes, sir
Mr.. Palmer--Will the senator himself
take the Mckinley bill with free silver?
Mr.. Allen--I have made no offer or
agreement to give it to these gentle
men. S
Mr. Palmer-I think the most dan
gerous and alarming symptom is the
possibility of some combination be-
tween those who demand protection
for domestic industry, as they call
it
Mr.. Aldrich-There is not the slight
est danger
MI Palmer-And those who own sill
: yer bullion. That is the dangerous
combination
Mr.. Platt Ito Mr. Palmer). Do not
be alarmed on that score
Mr.. Stewart-There is no danger OF
/. that The combination is with the de-
!, mocracy.
Mr.. Allen--I simply wanted to say tc
the republicans on the other side OF
this chamber, you have : forty-fou
votes. If YOU want to take your tariff
bill with a free cbinage amendment at
: tached to it. the populist party stanC
! here pledged to give you six votes t
> carry that Joint measure Now, will
YOU do 1t?
