MEYERS, TURN.
Half of the Case Over.

Washington, May 25 The govern.
ment rested its cases against H. 0
Havemeyer. the president of the
american Sugar Refinery company,
shortly after the noon recess to. day.
Thereupon Mr. johnson of Philadel-
phia, the leading counsel for the de-
fense, moved that the judges instruct
the jury to find the defendant not
guilty on six grounds
First. that the question as to local
and State contributions of the sugar
company was beyond the jurisdiction
of the State committee and imperti-
nent.
Second, that it was not part of Mr..
Havemeyer's duty to examine rec
ords for the parpose Of answering
questions be could not answer from
memory.
Third, that when data from books
and records are demanded such
books or records are the best evi-
dence.
Fourth, that the question put tc
the witness was too broad, covering
irrelevant matters.
Fifth, that if the witness was to be
held recusant it was the duty of the
committee to warn him that the ques.
tion was committee, not an indivi-
dual question, and
Sixth, that the Indictment did not
disclose cause of action.
Mr. johnson made an argument of
an hour and half in support Of his
motion. and when he concluded Dis
trict Attorney Davis asked for an
adjournment, which was granted.
Mr. Davis will reply to the motion
to morrow The concluding testi-
mony of the government offered at

ant save for the purpose of making

that sure he determined on having

thought he had some rights in the

Foraker or any agent of his, further
than he can see his every move

hope him unbounded success in the

bilious for him. Personally we will
represent this county at the state

we will see to it that the copven-

1t is the law by which mints are
/ created and by which gold and sill.
yer are admitted to be coined. No
one doubts that a uniform ratio
would be maintained, If all the
civilized countrit of the world
should agree on that ratio and
open their mints free to the coin
age of both silver and gold. People
believe that this is possible. AL
ready one great party in this
country has sent n commission
abroad to secure this international
agreement and has pledged itself,
and being now in power has thsre-
fore pledged the entire influence OF
the United States, to secure this
international ratio or agreement
for the free coinage of both gold
and silver. Can it be imagined
that this great nation would make
efforts to secure bimctallism if it
did not believe that bi.metallism
would be good thing for this
country? Certainly both the great
political parties pledged themselves
to tho double standard, that Is, TO
place silver and gold alike in Il
monetary sy ystem. Now il is for
bi-m etallic money that this effort
is put forth, not for gold alone, not
for silver alone, but for both alike.
Bi-metallism, whether you call it
international or independent,
means that all the gold and silver
may be made into money with full
legal tender power and at fixed
ratio.
Bi.metaIlists believe that this
would steady prices, that 1t would
virtually increase prices, that 1t
would stop the falling of prices
that has been 80 long prevailing all
over the world where effor ts were
made for the gold standard. 1t Is
believed that as the broader the
base of pyramid or a monument
the more stable 1t stands, so the
monetary system that is founded
on both metals would be far more |
secure than when 1t is founded on
tn' of the metals.-Plain Dealer.
