B0IES ON MONEY QUESTION.
THE IOWA MAN FREELY EX-
PRESSES HIS VIEWS.
The Window Plan the Most Feast
BILE to Him for the Restora-
ton of Silver.

MARSHALLTOWN Qa-), Aug. 20
A large meeting in this city, which
marked the opening of the Democratic
campaign in Iowa, was addressed by
Ex-Governor Horace Boies. The eX-
Governor said in part:
ITO no man living do I concede a
stronger desire to see this country re-
turn to the equal, unlimited use of both
gold and silver in its financial system
than 1 possess. To my mind the best
hope of this nation depends upon the
accomplishment of that end. / firmly
believe the use of gold alone as a re-
demption money by the people of the
United States will divide them, as the
people of England are divided, the very
rich and the very poor, and 1 do not
believe a Republican can live under
such a condition of society.
"Under circumstances as they now
exist, with silver demonetized by the
great commercial countries of the
globe, with the frightful chasm that
separates the commercial values of
metals constantly widening, and in the
light of our own recent national cleo
ton, cannot bring my own mind to be-
lieve that the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of is to 1 with gold is within
the reach Of its friends, nor can I help
the fear that it would not be desirable
even if attainable.
81 believe from what now is a matter
of notoriety everywhere that the fear
of this is so deeply grounded in the pub
lie mind that unyielding adherence to
that one ratio by those who believe
themselves the real friends of silver will
permanently destroy the cause they
would promote, and fasten upon the
people of this nation a perpetual gold
standard, a calamity greater, in my
judgment, than war or pestilence or
famine, and / cannot consent to share
any part of the responsibility for such
catastrophe.
I'm all that have either heard or
read or thought, no plan under present
circumstances has seemed so feasible
to me for the restoration of silver to
its rightful place as redemption money
as one substantially like that recon-
mended by Mr.. Window in 1889, while
acting as Secretary of the Treasury.
"Stated in his own language, his prop
osition was this: Issue Treasury notes
against silver bullion at the market
price Of silver when deposited, payable
on demand in such quantities Of silver
bullion as will equal in value at the
date of presentation the number of dol
lars expressed on the face of the notes
at the market price of silver, or in gold,
at the option of the Government. or in
silver dollars, at the option of the
bolder'u
