The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1896-05-30
SENATOR DANIEL WILL FARLEY.

we fear that Senator Daniel is joined 10
III idols and that We shall have 10 let
him alone. lie IS a subscriber to The
gimes. and we know that he reads H.
The Times has been preaching Good'
sound doctrine 90 errirg statesmen Ike
him loi these many years, and he ought
1v this time TO have been led out OF
darkness into light. But here he mas
been making a two days speech again
In the Senate preaching all Of his ola
beresies lust as though he had never
r,aa The Times at all. Never mind.
The good book tells US we must never
weary in wen-doing and we shall not
give ND an hope of him in spite Of this
very discouraging experience. We tell
him 10 go on reading The Times and II
that fails I'm its natural work something
Will happen to him in November that Will
make him see things as no never saw
them before.
When Mr.. Bailey. Of Texas, spoke here
two weeks ago ne rose TO great attitudes
Of eloquonce in telling his audience that
what
been telling them was nothing but what
John Sherman had been telling the peo-
ple for many years, and if they believed
Meredith and Royal they would run a
great risk Of becoming Republicans.
Nobody paid much attention TO this and
people in general disposed of il to them
selves by saying "Oh! that's some OF
Baney's foolishness." But we find Sena-
tor Daniel laying himself out last We'd
nesday to prove that 1T was an evil
day when Democratic leaders joined
hands with Republicans on financial ques-
tons" It becomes clear. therefore, that
Bailey was doing more than talking fool
ishness. lie was preaching propagan-
da Of the free coincrs. 1t is to be staple
argument by them, and sound money men
must take off their coats and roll up
their sleeves and get ready TO meet this
argument whenever they enter into de-
bate with free coiners. 1t will naturally
be said that this is strange preparations
10 make for meeting an argument, and
80 It is. But it is the only sort OF prep
aratlon that We know anything about
Tor meeting hn argument intended to
prove that fifty cents can be turned into
dollar. and now while We are arranging
our toilet for this encounter we would
ike 10 ask Senator Daniel II his nnan-
cial system intends TO include in addi-
ton TO the two donars-silver and gold
two other dollars also-Republcan and
Democrat? II it does not. why this anti
cpated evil from Democratic leaders
joining hands with Republicans on fnan-
cial questions? II there Is to be but one
dollar. 1t seems TO us that there can
be no more improperly in Democratic
leaders Joining hands with Republicans
in respect 20 10 than their joining hands
with them I'm respect TO the one sun. or
the one moon. or the one air, or the
one law of graduation. IL seems TO us
that the thing 90 be done I'm respect TO
that one dollar SIS TO keep it always sa-
credly the same thing that people may
not be misled WAon they make con-
tracts in respect 90 10. and to DE viglant
in seeing that The government and all
men shall lay just what they agreed TO
pay WREN they promise 10 pay dollars.
II we are right about this. then We are
as entirely unable TO see how harm is
going TO come out OF Democrats agreeing
with Republicans ia accepting these
truths as we are TO see how harm is GO
Ing 10 happen II Democrats agree with
Republicans that they will allow the sun
70 shine at MONDAY with no obstruction
whatever from an act Of Congress.
