It in exchange for the gold dollar when
! such exchange is demanded, II VIII be his
| duty TO adopt that course.
Senator Stewart takes up this asser-
ton and asks Mr.. Carlisle to furnish
tne law which authorizes the Secretary
Of the Treasury 10 exchange silver for
gold dollars. Senator Stewart goes into
me details Of this recognition
OF the single gold standard by
the Treasury Department and on
each point asks for the law
on The subjec.. His letter was publish
ed in full in yesterdays Register and is
splendid campaign document. He pins
Mr.. Carlisle down to the point, and in
reply he will either have TO produce the
law to sustain mis- action, which law does
not exist, or confess that il is unlawful
and can only lead the nation into bank
ruptcy Senator Stewart winds up with
the following, which is good enough to
reproduce:
Il. You stated in your circular of July
l. 1896. entitled Information Respecting
United States Bonds, Paper Currency,
Coin. etc. that gold coins ard standard
silver dollars being standard coins of the
! United States. are not redeemable
What new law or statute have you dis
covered since the publication of your
pamphlet on the lst of July last. or what
new orders have you received which d.
not appear in the statute books? I an
anxious to ascertain what inspired your
| offer to exchange gold for silver dollars
and silver certificates. Are there enough
options TO redeem Creenbacks and treas
ury notes in gold or silver TO surrender
to gold gamblers demanding gold TO .ur-
nish you excuses for the sale of United
States bonds? Do you intend to sell bonds
enough before your term Of Office expires
TO buy gold to redeem not only the ire Is
ury notes and greenhacks. but also TO re-
deem the silver dollars and silver certiIi-
Gates now outstanding? l know that you
will not issue bonds under any circum-
stances until after election. The time for
issuing five or six hundred millions OF
bonds will be very short after the Sd OF
| spect will terminate. For what purpose,
then. have you made this offer 10 sid
gamblers at this particular time? Was
it for the purpose of restoring coniid ance
i'm your ability TO wreck the treasury, or
for the purpose of inducing the Roths-
childs combination TO invest large sums
of money to buy votes for Mckinley in
order that they may continue to "njoy
the bountes which a gold administration
confers on its friends without regard 10
residence or nationality?
Yours respectfully,
"WAI NJ. STEWART"
Secretary Carlisle received even q
worse scorching al the vigorous hands
Of Mr.. Bryan in his speech in Washing
ton Saturday. After reviewing Secre-
tary Carlisles letter in which that Off
cisl holds that he is within The measure
Of the law in redeeming silver dollars
and silver certificates in gold dollars,
Mr.. Bryan says:
/ am glad that this declaration has been
made. | am glad that our opponents are
step by step revealing TO the public tntlr
I hcartleSS mcrCileSS. criminal policy.
/ Great applauSc) | denounce the policy
as more cruel and hcartiess than political
/ nominations of "a foreign power. / would
rather. as some one has said: ! would
rather put our army in the hands OF Z!
Z foreign general or our navy in command

policy with as much earneStncSs as l
/ would resist the progress OF an lhNadlhS
