be ready to do it's full share to see that
the country gets what it wants and
needs so badly.
There is method in this procee ding.
I believe that the next congress- will
pass a new tariff bill, which will give
the country sufficient revenue, and we
will then be ready for a new and
fresh start up Prosperity hill. My idea
is to give these unfortunates a chance
to get from under the load which
weighs them down. and when good
times come we will have the advan-
tage Of their enterprise and push, which
we would not have in so full a degree
under the present conditions. Besides,
unless we pass some general bank
ruptcy bill, we will be giving a pre-
MUM upon dishonesty and indirection.
Every one knows that there are bank
rupts without number who are doing
business in the name Of some one else.
This law would place the honest man
upon the same footing as the dishonest.
In my opinion, we should try such a
law for two years, and after that time
1t might be repealed. A fair and equi-
table bankruptcy law will do much to
revive business. I think it would be a
great blessing even to the few who
oppose it now.
There may be some who doubt 1t,
but want to tell the people Of Mime
apoI1s, whether they were for silver or
for gold, that the Republican party.

which is represented by Mr.. Mckinley,

have no sympathy with the single
geld standard advocates, and in nv
opinion the people Of this country are
>largely in favor Of genuine and honest
b1metall1sm. The first thing which
can be done in this country is the ap-
pointrent of commission in which the
silver men and the honest binetallists.
who are not mere partisans, but sin

plan is now being matured in congress
to have such a commission created and
the bill approved by Mr. Cleveland.
h leaving the appointment Of the mem
bers to the new president. I think it
may be safely said that this can be
done, for the president and congress
are agreed upon the general proposition
and 1t would be not only q courtesy,
but good policy, to allow the admin
stratton which is to act upon the re-
port Of the commission to have the OBJ
portunity to appoint it.
IF such a commission Is appointed
and makes an honest and earnest effort
for bimetallism and fails, I think the
country will then be able to Judge what
Is best to do. Such a course will be
wise and patriotic and fair TO public
sentiment, which, after all, Is the basis
of all our institutions.

Congressman Loren Fletcher, who
has been home during the holiday re-

sunday evening. He has been busy
consulting with his constituents and
preparing number Of matters to be
taken up Immediately upon his return
TO the national capital. Among these
are the sub-postoffices in which the de-
partment in Washington experienced
some delay on account Of the rent to
be charged. An inspector has been in
the city, and the whole matter Is TO
be adjusted next week. The sub-stations
are to be opened ready for business by

what the country wants from con-
gress as much or more than it wants
any other legislation is a national
bankruptcy bill. The period of stagna-
ton and the contraction in business
mas been such that 1t has left a great
many business men stranded. They
were the enterprising- ones, those who
made the country prosper by their
undertakings, and when the hard times
struck them they were spread out too
thin to enable them to recover. The
country needs these men more than
they need a bankruptcy bill, and I
want to see some such bill passed this
session. Almost any general bank
ruptcy bill Is better than none, and I
should be willing to support a bill
which did not meet my entire approval
rather than have it defeated.
