Whom so earnest and enthusiasts
tic an advocate Of free silver coin-
age as Senator John p. Jones, OF
Nevada, gives up his cherished
idol, and admits that silver will
not be the issue in the next CON
gressional campaign it means
something. Senator Jones is pro-
badly the best posted man in con-
gress on the subject OF metalllc
money. A short time ago he said
to q Minnesota man, who is hold
ing high official position:
"The gold discoveries in South
Africa, augmented by the recent
output of the Alaskan fields, will
settle the financial question for
years to come. The placing in
circulation of the untold millions
to be taken from the earth within
the next twelve months can have
but one effect. It will increase
the circulating medium, and there
will be consequent activity, energy

establish conditions, the like of
which the silver advocates have

the money question. For one,
hope the country will profit ane
prosper by its experience. I hope
to see business settled to a substsn

that the new tariff bill willcontrib.

a staunch advocate of silver, but b

With such a frank and withs

is enough to icure the most prt
