An Able Discussion.

Hon. l.. w. Martin, of Deadwood,
came in on Monday, and addressed the
citizens Of this place in the evening at
the court house upon the political j..
sues from n republican standpoint Mr..
Martins ability as a platform orator is
well known throughout the Hills to be
Of no mean order, and, as an e%xpounder
of sound and stable republican doctrine,
he fairly demonstrated his ability on
this occasion to cope with many who
have attained to q higher degree of
fame in this direction than he.
Mr.. Martins address was not only an
able and incontroyertible exposition OF
the issues discussed, but it was unique
in that it was not confined to the well
beaten paths traversed by so many OF
| the political speakers of the period, but
marked a new and original course
which, while tending in the same direc-
ton, and having the same objective
point, was more direct and conclusive.
Ahi' Vhdbilb, NlllC ~ III lIut WIN any
of the fallacies Of the free silver advo-
Gates, does not endorse all Of the argu-
ments advanced by the public speakers
Of his own party. He utterly disclaim,
cd the theory, advanced here by several
republican speakers, that the decline in
the market value Of silver is due TO the
over.production of that metal, claiming
it was the result of unfavorable legisla.
ton by the chief commercial nations oil
Tie world during the past twenty-five
years. He sustained his theory by
citing the legislative action ofthe differ
ent nations during the period named,
lie also showed by reliable statistics
that, since 1873, the amount Of silver
coined in the world exceeded the worlds
production Of the metal, which showed
conclusively the fallacy Of Bryan's state
ment that free coinage would advance
the price Of silver by increasing the de-
mand for it. He also favored the policy
of the redemption of greenbacks in
silver in emergent cases, as In case OF IAN
attempt to mass a large aggregation of
this class Of the currency, for the pur-
pose Of exchange for gold, thereby i'm
perilling the credit of the government
lie does not admit the necessity for the
late bond calls, believing that such ac-
ton was wholly Unnecessary, and could
have been avoided by the adoption
Of this method, which he insisted would
have been the proper course to pursue
under the existing emergency.
While this proposition may be open
to criticism. and not in line with the
views of a large majority of the republic
cans, it would at least be safe to say,
that all of the populists would agree
with him upon the proposition. The
discussion, as a whole, was able and
interesting, and elected the closest at
t%ention of his audience from the be.
ginning to the close.
