vocated gold in 1874. The tutor of
the Enterprise IS the man who clan
destinelv de1nonetized silver, and by
that infamous act, reaped a reward
which made him and his financially
independent for life. We fear, how
ever, that his pupil on the Comstock
is not as slick and sly as the Old man
himself, but he IS daft enough to re
peat his lies with JUNCTION,
The extracts quoted by the Enter
p1ise were cut out of a speech of John
Sherman, and upon hat evidence
alone the people of Nevada will cop
per" them. Whenever John Sher-
mar and those under his tutelage,
speak disparagingly of Senator Stew
art, it is a feather IN the CAP of the
Senator SO far as the citizens of New

silver. Instead of answering the ex-
tracts taken from the speech of Sher-
ma which his pupil prints in the
Enterprise, we will publish Senator
Stewart reply to the original asser-
tons made by the arch-enemy of
human progress aud happiness. 1t
is as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug "a, 1896.
Hon. John Sherman, Mansfield,
Ohio:
Dear Sir: In your speech of
August IS, 1896, delivered at Column
bus, Ohio, you grossly misrepresent
me-. You quote sarbled extracts from
a speech l made in the Senate on the
18th OF June, 1874. when l was ad-
vOCating a return to specie payment
and inadvertently used the term
gold for ''specie, which was very
common IN those days. If you had
pIIlA1N liS NOlIACAl / Noald nave lS
futed the inference you drew from the
extracts you did print. The speech
is quiet lengthy, and YOU quotation
IS made by selecting at various places
sentences or parts Of sentences and
stringing them together to make
them mean what you desire, and not
what they really did mean when
uttered.
The eight section of the bill under
consideration provided for the re-
de1nption of grecnbacks with bonds
and the ~relSSuauCe of greenhaC ks-a
scheme, | contended, to increase the
bonded Indebtedness, and for no
other purpOse-whereupon l remark
ed:
One of two things is true; either
the Senate is in favor of resumption
of specie payment at some future day
absolutely, or it is not. If that be
the question, why car it not be plain

such a day as the majority can agree
upon-the government will pay in
coin all its debts, and will demand
coin for taxes. Why not fix it right
cut manfully? You say that it woul~
not have the coin; that we have no
got the coin to do it. We have the
coin for all the demands we make TO
coin. We demand that the duties or
imports shall be paid IN coin, anc

found to do that. There is no diff
Guilty about it. The larger part Q
your revenue is now paid i'll coin
Because you use it for that purpose
it comes in. If you said the dutie
should be paid in greenbacks, Their
would hardly be any coin in tn
county in q month. It would all g
out if you did not use it. When yo
demand coin, when you make a us
for coin, there is no difficulty in gettin
it. Congressional Record, vol. Z

sion, page 49o)
Further on in speaking of coin
fell into a common error and used tn
term gold, as many others did i
