They are clearing the right Of

Tom Costigan and some other

success.
To the free-silver men a word of
warning: We all know that there
is something wrong and very wrong.
We have great many of US de-
cided it is the finance,-not tariff.
We want to remedy that wrong.
We want more money and less mis-
cry. That far we agree with the
free silver men. The all absorbing
question is: How is this to be done?
Who is going to do it2 What party
can we rely on to bring about the
help we needp With men so with
parties: we judge men by what
they do, not what they say they
will do. The Peoples party in the
House and in the Senate have new
er failed to a man to vote for free
silver. How so with those advo-
Gates of free silver in the Demo
cratic party2 Read the record and
judge as honest men, as men that
know there is a great wrong, and
as honest men should take an hon
est course to right that wrong.
Here it is, and il gives me pain to
think party that / had affiliated
with should be so false to their
trusts. In the 10th Congress the
democrats had a majority Of AZ.
April sth, 1886, that Congress kill
ed a bill for free and unlimited
Lcoinage of silver at the ratio Of 10
TO 1. The SD Congress, having
Democratic majority Of 14S, on the
54th of March, 1892, killed a bill
for free coinage at a ratio of 10 to
I1. The same Democratic Congress
on July 18th of the same year de-
feated another free-coi

Republican Senate a
can President. had -
would sign it if passed by
ocratic House. The SD q
detected in 1892, had a Demo
majority over both Populists and
Republicans Of SO, but the ten Pop
ulists voted for silver, giving the
Democrats if really in favor Of ST.
yer majority of 103. Yet that
congress on the 23d day of August,
1898, voted down a bill for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
l6 to l by Z vote. There were
2l7 on the floor of the House when
the vote was taken. 101 voted for
the measure, and II6 against il.
80 it will be seen that no one but
democrats being present and vot-
ing the bill would have been de-
I feated by majority of Is. On the
same day they voted down bills for
free coinage at q ratio Of Tito 1, Is
to L, 10 to and 20 to 1. On Nee.

Senate having Democratic ma
iority of three over all, and when 4
POpulist Senators were counted for
silver the majority over the Repub-
licans was eleven, defeated Senator
Stewards amendment providing for
free and unlimited coinagsof sill
yer at-tbe ratio Of 16 to I. On
Feb. /, 1895, this same Congress
was in session. The finance COM
mittee of the Senate, with Dan
Voorhees, Chairman, and a majori-
ty of Democrats on the committee,
killed In the committee-room a bill
made for free coinage of silver "a,
l6 to 1. In 1892, 20 Democratic
State conventions declared for free
silver. In 1892 these same Demo-
ocrats elected Grover Cleveland
and a Democratic House, and
gained control of the Senate, thus
having absolutely control of the
Government. In 1898 they voted
silver down and stopped the coin
age of silver entirely. In Ky. in
