DENVER, Sept. 3-During the past
few years Senator Teller's enemies
have industriouely circulated q report
that If the senior Colorado senator and
his colleagues had been willing to ac-
cept 1t they could have secured the coiu-
age OF the American product. Since

DENVER, Aug. 2-Hcn. E. NJ. Am
mons, Sy mes, Col. Dear Sir-In reply
to yours OF Aug, % In which you ask
the question, If in 1890 when the Nc
kinney bill was passed silver men could
have secured the coinage Of the Ameri.
can product" Is st band.
This story has been industriously cir
culated throughout the west during the
last two years. There is not one word
OF truth in the ststment. There never
has been time when the passage of
such a bill could have been secured
through aither house Of congress. Free
coinage OF the American product was
always weaker in both bodies than free
coinage. There never has been a preei-
dent since have been in pnblic he who
would have signed a bill FOR tha coinage
OF the American product, nor has there
been time when such vote could have
been had in either house of congress.
AT st. Louis there was introduced in
the committee on resolutions after they
had voted down free coin age provision.
provision for the coinage of the Amer
lean product, but it received exactly the
same number ct votes and the same
number Of negative votes against it that
the unlimited coiuage of silver did.
Those who state there has been a time
when the free coinage of the American
product could have been secured ara
either grossly ignorant or very wicked.
Mckinley has never at any time favor
ed the Coinage of the American product
and his letter of acceptance shows he ia
not frienly to apy legislation favorable
to silver. Yours truly,
HENRY M. TELLER.
