he was recognized by the vice presi-
dent and he delivered a carefully pre-
pared analytical speech on the Dingley
tarin bill and the subject OF free coin
age. In his opening remarks the sena-
tor. by telling comparisons drawn from
the census of 1890. completely refuted

the repeated charge made by eastern
people as 10 the character OF the resi-
dents OF the West and the inability of
the silver states to sustain reputable
governments. His complimentary ref
erence TO the struggling pioneers OF the
West was eloquent and impressive. The
glaring injustice of the Dingley bill to
the wool-growing interests of the coun-
try was exposed in a mastery way.
His argument I'm favor of the restora-
ton of silver to it's ancient position as
a money metal seems unanswerable.
The senator spoke in clear and dis
tinct tones. He was calm and self-pos-
sessed throughout. and he challenged
the closest attention OF the senate and
the gallery. At the close OF the speech
he received pronounced applause and
was congratulated by his colleagues
Several minutes elapsed before the vice
president could restore order so as TO
permit of the transaction of the bust
ness of the senate.
This oratorical effort establishes the
standing Of Mr.. Mantle i'm the senate
as one of the strong and capable men
of the body, and the logic of his argu-
ment favoring the uniting OF free coin
age and protection as one indivisable
issue could not fail to carry conviction
to all who believed i'm either principle.
IL makes the thought more distinct that
the st. Louis convention will. by the
logic of unanswerabe argument. be
TO link free coinage and pro-
lection together.
