ploying the men they did formerly, nor
are they making the money for their
owners nor for their miners, as when
the price of silver was higher, and be-
fore 1t had been rejected at the mints
in India. No silver mine in the country
that is being worked exclusively for
silver will pay at the present price OF
that metal. 1t is only where II is found
in conjunction with lead or copper that
any money can be had by working sill
yer mines, and these are the only mines
that are now being worked"
Mr.. Dubois laughed at the idea that
Croker, through the agency of his new
Democratic club in New York, was
seeking to neutraliZe the silver agita-
tion of the Western Democracy. Il do
not" said Mr.. Dubois, believe there is
anything in the story further than the
fact that il makes an interesting news
paper article. Mr.. Croker and the rest
of the Eastern Democrats know very
we'll that they can never win the regu
lar Democratic party away from its
loyalty to silver All Of the Eastern
gold Democrats who We're at the Chi
cago convention saw that the people of
this country had sent to that conven-
ton men who could not be Influenced
by the smooth -tongued arguments that
had sent men who intended that what
the people wanted should be done. and
that their wishes should be carried out
in every particular. The same class of
men VIII comprise the next convention
and the gold Democrats will have a5-
solutely no weight in it.
From all that / have been able To
gather in my talks with Democratic
leaders of the West. l do not fear any
compromise between the gold Demo-
Gratis and the members of the regular
organization. The gold Democrats will
be received back into the party If they
accept the doctrines of the party as
announced at the Chicago convention
and as they Will be reafTirmed at the
convention to be held in 1900. This Is
the only compromise that is possible.
The Eastern Democrats, who have
leaned toward gold monometallism. real
iZe that fact, and realizing IL they viii
undoubtedly accept the situation and
hereafter affiliate with the regular
Democratic organization and assist in
the election of the Democratic nominee
in 1900.
The friends Of silver intend to work
for the election of that nominee be-
cause they know there is no promise OF
financial reform or of bimetallism
through the Republican party. The
country has been deceived by that party
long enough, and it can never again
command the vote of any man who
believes that bimetallism or the free
coinage of silver is the proper solution
to the financial difficulties that now
confront the American people. [ eX-
pect to see the new phalanX of free
silver advocates confronting the gold
OF the Republican party
in 1900. and | am as confident as l can
possibly be of anything that is TO trans
pire in the future that the conflict be
tween these contending elements viii
result in an overwhelming victory for
the forces of free silver.
