SENATOR MBRIDg
Writes Sense Concerning the Tariff BIN
and Silver.

n Silver.
Senator George W. Mcbride. in a let
ter TO ]. G. Carson. OF Portland. or,
and in reply to one commencing the
senator's position and vote IN the tarlr
question. says:
Il concur with you in the opinion that
a OF these questions should be con-
sidered on It's own merits, and that the
tariff bill should not be complicated with
q free silver rider or amendment. In
this View. / am happy 10 say that my
colleague and | agree. although. as you
are well aware. we 10 not agree pom
the silver question I am very glad
indeed TO have your assurance that my
friends and many other thoughtful Re
publlcans throughout the state ..pprove
the position I have taken on the SILVER
question. a position which I believe will
be- sustained by the national Republican
party. ! should be very glad to see the
reconciliation OF silver brought about
by an international agreement among
the principal commercial nations OF the
earth. upon "A basis that would not dis
turb confidence in the stability Of values
and Of business. I do not, believe, how
ever, that II ls safe for the United States
alone to undertake the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at any ratio. and
| believe the conservative sentiment OF
the country sustains that yiew.
Il Join with you In regret that our Re-
publican friends In Multnomah county
are engaged In a bitter fractional contest.
but ! trust that a 4plrit Of Cancellation
Will prevail In the nominations. 10 that
all factions may be united in support OF
the ticket that may be chosen"
