free coinage OF silver. and handled trusts
without gloves. He also spoke in favor
Of an income-tax, and thought the silver
people OF every party should unite on the

that a systematic effort was made by

showing that they are afraid for their
voters TO hear both sides. This is In line
with Russelrs refusal OF Watsons cnal-
lenge TO joint discussion.
