is to have arguments made by brief.

orally before both the Senate and

committee he was accorded 80 minutes,

Mean Mischief.

AT this time, when there is need o.
additional safeguards about our pres
ent system for maintaining the gold
and silver of the country in circulation,
the only bimctallism now possible, a
resolution to pay government bonds IN
silver dollars at the option of the gov
ernment instead of at the option of the
other party, is introduced and pushed
forward in the United States Senate oy
a monometallic silver basis. Their
purpose cannot now be affected, a fact
disturb credit, embarass the sound
money forces and build a back fire to
the direction of sound money.
They want to make mischief and
possibly will be able to do so in some
degree. though in all proba bility it viii
be slight In 1873 there We're Repub.i-
cans who voted for the Matthews reso-
luton, of which this is a copy. Then.
however a silver dollar was worth
ninety cents. and many believed that
the value would he enhanced to par
ity with gold. In this they were mis-
taken. The events in the past nine
teen years have demonstrated that
fact to most people. for nearly all free
silver men row acknowledge that they
want a cheaper dollar. Nevertheless If
the Democrats can make prominent
Republicans appear before the country
as acting inconsistently they will re-
gard that as ample reward for Their
efforts in agitating this question. They
also seek to embarrass the sound money
Democrats, show their aggressiveness
and to stimulate the free silver craze
which outside the politicians has SUI
sided to a very noticeable degree.
