REED ON THE CURRENCY.
The Speaker Is of the Opinion That the
Subject Is Not Thoroughly
Understood.

Portland Me. Aug. 6.-In addressing
the convention today after his hoihlila-
tion Thomas h. Reed said:
We, in Maine. have to make up our
minds on the situation more than in any
other state i'm the Union and the verdict
will be of greater Importance to the coun-
try. II is worth while then that We should
discuss to some extent the great princi-
ples which underlie the issues of the CAM
paign. DO not understand me that ! p'ir-
pose to make the currency question per-
fectly clear to you. l don't know enough
to do it. Whenevr during the cam
paign you see man talking to another
man and the man who listens does not I'M
dcrstand it, and the man who talks about
it does not quite understand 1t you will
know that the question of the currency Is
being discussed.

all AT once to contend with the various de-
grees of Ignorance which exist. | don't
use the word ignorance in any naughty
or superior fashion. ! mean by 1t lack (

tives produced the volume of the Congress

bates of the change In 1873 and there were

were actually made on the subject and
It was W twice, and | think three times.
And yet they say it was done in Il corner.
Then they have declared that 1t was done
By an emissary from abroad and they
even went to the extent of giving the
name of Mr.. Ernest Seyd. Mr. Seyd was
always a silver man and was not here
when the thing was done. 1t has also been
said that this was stealthy way in which
We were called upon to furnish a more
costly metal and therefore our creditors
We're going to get more out of lis and II
was all II plot with that in view. The an
swer is simple and conclusive. In the first
place We had not prior to 1873, had a sin
gle dollar of gold or silver currency in
this country and we did not have any for
five years afterward. And there Is anoth-
er fact, a pretty important one, and that
Is that in 1873 the silver which would have
made a United States standard silver doll
lar of il2i. grains, was worth cents on u
dollar more than Il gold dollar was. This
was setting up standard that was 3
cents ON a dollar lower than one which
you say ought to have been retained.
think, then, We may safely eliminate
from our minds any notion that any fraud
or wickedness was practiced. And the
only question is. which system is the he st
for this country. which will produce the
best results? AT the very outset / want
you to understand precisely what is pro-
posed. You will hear great deal of talk
about bimetallism. The system which Is
proposed by the Chicago convention Is
not bmetallism. Bimetallism is an en-
tirely different affair.

DAVID MARTIN
SHOWS FIGHT
Threatens to Have Witnesses Against
Him Arrested for Perjury.
A BIG CROWD WAS DISAPPOINTED
The Spectators Looked for New De.
velOpments in the Mutual Automatic
Telephone Case and None Came.
Martin Sends for His Attorney.
AtchesOn's TESTIMONY.

Philadelphia. Aug 6-Arter the
rather unexpected developments at
yesterdays session of the senatorial in
Vestigating committee. it was expected
that still further facts of u sensational
nature in relation to the obtaining of
franchise from city councils by the
Mutual Automatic Telephone company
would he brought out to-day. In an
ticipation of this for the first time for
months the committee room was
crowded when the session began. The
crowd was more or less disappointed
as the evidence adduced to-day was
mainly corroborative of yesterdays
and but little new evidence was sub
mitted.
David Martins connection with John
+. aesch, the promoter of the telephona
company, was still further sworn to
by Il new Witness to-day. This wit
ness was Theophilius Atcheson, a me-
chanical engineer. Atcheson testified
that Martin was in communication
with Persch ater the latter left this
city to escape testifying before the
investigating committee of councils
Atcheson said that Martin saw Persch
in Trenton the day before the former
went before councils committee to tes-
tify. This statement OF Atcheson's Is
in direct contradiction of Mr.. Martins
sworn testimony before councils COM
mittee, where he stated that he had
not seen Persch or heard of him for
several weeks.
1t was reported today that some coun-
cilmen would take the opportunity to go
upon the stand and testify In relation
to the telephone scandal. but il any of
them had any such intention they must
have changed their minds, for none ap-
peared.
1t was further said that the commit
tee will place Mr. Martin upon the
stand, but it did not do SO, and when
the committee adjourned It was to meet
at the call of the chair. 1t was further
stated that the principal witnesses have
now testified inc relation to the tele-
phone scandal and If any further wit
nesses are called at other meetings
their evidence will be merely of con-
firmatory character. MIR. Martin was
seemingly unaffected by the connection
of his name with the telephone bust
ness, but he telegraphed to the Thou
sand Islands for his attorney, who viii
be here tomorrow. Which course Mr.
Martin will pursue Is not known, but
ii is said he will have some of the wit
nesses who testified yesterday arrested
for perjury.

MARTINS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Martin when questioned in ref
erence to the charges made by wit
nesses before the committee, made the
following statement:
You can say to the public as strongly
you like that | am willing and ready
to appear before this so-called inves-
tigating committee and successfully re-
flute the allegations. Not only am
willing, but l will insist upon appearing
before the committee. | have tele
graphed to my counsel, A. s. l.. Shields.
and he has replied that he will be here
Tomorrow afternoon or evening.
1T is then my purpose to request
the committee to hear my statement
and If they refuse | think my counsel
can find way to compel them to hear
our side. | don't propose to be held up
to ridicule by the assertions Of any
such men as have appeared before the
committee.
