SENATOR HILLS SPEECH 4 DIshP-
roINTuTNI.

Senator David y. Hil made such
steady and sturdy opposition TO the revo-
l,tiouarv purposes OF the majority of the
CHICAGO Convention that II seems a little
unrraclous FOR MS 80 criucise him at all.
BAT the speech he made when put up by
tho sound-moncy men 10 defend their
side OF the case was q total disappoint-
mont. though We should not remark
unon Il. but that principle Is IN
yolvel which Il Is important to state
Senator Jill was put forward, as we
have said, by the sound-money men to
state their side of the case. no one
OF course. had any idea that ne would be
able 10 stem the torrent that was rush
ius, over the convention. That was not
the idea had in mind. lie was put there
70 state the argument against free Sill
yer and for sound money. That the true
grounds upon which Democrats oppose
free coinage OF silver might go
ont f. tho country alongside OF
the manifesto for It that tho
convention was about TO set forth.
lie did not do this. lie did not state
the argument that proves That no power
short Of that OF tho Creator can con-
vert - cents into 100 cents. The speech he
made was "a logical concession that power
does exist somewhere 10 do this thing. His
exist somewhere 20 do this thing. His
speech was nothing but plea that the
convention should not tie itself 70 free
coinage at a ratio Of &c to by this
country alone. but should appeal 10 the
civilized world TO Join with this country IN
establishing some ratio for free coinage.
This was nothing but plea I'm confcs-
sion and avoidance. il ala not 70 10
the root Of the matter and pluck the
whole vicious growth out Of tho body
polite. II left germs of the cancer still
there TO sprout and grow and spread
over the whole body again. The sound
money mon had a right TO expect that
lie would state the reasons why no human
power can safely attempt to experiment
with the ruinous policy of free coinage.
SO that the appeal for it and the demon
stration OF its absurdity might go out 10
the voters OF the United States together.
Many of the accounts Of the convention
that we have read state that this feeling
was very prevalent amongst the sound
money men when his speech had been de-
llvered.
The Dispatch Of yesterday says:
In HIS speech i'm the Chicago Convention
on Wednesday. 81 believe" declared Mr..
I'LL that the course for US to take IS
10 declare for international bimetallism
and stop there"
Who could frame a better plank for
national platform? Free International hi
metallism or the free coinage OF silver
with tho assistance or cooperation Of
other nations. Think on f.. ye clamorers
for 15 10 l.
We reply that only the Chicago Con-
ventlon could frame q worse one. All the
nations of the earth acting together
can no moro make fifty cents worth Of
silver q dollar than this nation alone
can. By cooperating to that end they
might postpone the dav OF disaster but
it would have 60 come I'm the one case
as much rs IN the other.
Senator Im lost the great opportunity
of his life. and he did the cause Of sound
money great injustice by not marching mp
squarcly TO the issue and meeting 81
With scdge-hammer logic.
