j. Laurence Laughlin. in Atlantic Monthly

udices against the East. intensified by the
dislike born of the relation of debtor to

skill of the tempter is satanic. / doubt If
ever in our political history we have had
more adroit manipulation and strategy
than have been displayed by the managers
of the silver party. In Congress they have
been more than a match in plans and in
genuity for the leaders of the two great
parties. Supplied with abundant means by
the silver mining interests. they have bun
coed one party or coquetted with another
as suited their interests. While extending
their prOpa ganda for years in the ranks of
the Democratic party throughout the West
and South. they have bargained with the
leaders of the Republican party in Congress
for legislation favorable to silver in return
