WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-The ways and

proposed scheme of legislation to pre-
vent differentiation OF imports by the
customs officials. Hearings will be
given TO interested parties, and there
will appear before the committee As.
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham

board of appraisers. The plan upon
which the committee will base its
work has been outlined by Representa-
tive Draper, of Massachusetts,, and it
is probable that the committee will in
vestigate the present system of valua-
tons carefully before it finishes. 1t is

nothing but an appeal to prejudice and

to the people of Laramie the Hon. John

Mr.. Brockway opened by saying that
the issues presented by this campaign
were the greatest and most

nation. A free silver man could no

The national debt was then juggled

It appear that the people of this nation
were h~opelessly involved and there was

a way. The only way it could be paid
was by opening the minis to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
paying it off at half price. In this con.
nection Mr.. Brockway did not explain
that we would lose all our gold from
circulation and thus suffer contraction

He utterly failed to show to his audi

twice as much as we now pay for the
