Tongue Safe on the Money Question.

Both before the recent election and
since, the Populist newspapers, and
several Democratic ones too, are con.
siderably exercised over the views en-
tertained by Mr.. Tongue on the silver
question. Some contend that he is, or
has been in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, others that he is
an extreme gold bug, others that he has
been inconsistent with himself-at one
time for free silver, and then against it.
The Hillsboro Independent has inquired
into the matter and pronounces all of
the above the veriest kind of nonsense.
There has been no doubt about Mr..
Tongues position on the silver question
to any who have known him or have
heard him discuss the question.
In the campaign two years ago, and
again in every speech that he has de-
livered during this campaign, he has
stated as clearly and unequivocally as
words could state, his views upon that
question, and his Interpretation of the
meaning Of the platform adopted by the
national convention four years ago. He
believes in the largest possible use of
silver, consistent with maintaining the
two moneys in circulation at par with
each other. He does not believe that
this could be done under a system OF
free and unlimited coinage of silver, and
therefore opposes it.
No one who heard him during the
campaign can have any reasonable ex'
cuse for undertaking to say that there
was any question about where he stood
coinage of silver understood so well hi
position, that they not only votet
against him, but worked against him
and united their forces against him. I
was for this reason that thousands o
Democrats voted for Mr.. Vanderburg.
After the election, two years ago, tn
Oregonian and other leading newspa
pers throughout the United States wer
advocating that large quantity of on
paper money should be retired and de
stroyed. That we should adopt polio
with reference to silver that would pei
NIT it to wear out and be destroyed an
thereby contract the circulation. M
Tongue opposed this policy in a wei
written letter to the Oregonian. ImmC
diately that journal desiring to move 8
much as possible any senatorial cand
dates that might be in the way of tt
reelection of Senator Dolph, denounce
Mr.. Tongue as being in favor of fri
coinage. Newspapers favoring this do
trIne were anxious to receive with ope
arms convert and began also to clai
that Mr.. Tongue was supporting fr'
coinage. He Immediately wrote to tt
Oregnnian, stating.that both sides we
mistaken and disclaiming that any su,
misrepresentation should be placed up'
his letter, and calling attention to Il
fact that there was not one word in it
favor of tie free and unlimited COMA
OF silver, or that could by any reasO
able intendant be so construed.
