DID CAMPBELL NEGLECT HIS DU7ye

The plea that he was a steadfast silver

white metal! He was elected Through the
coercion of voters and the liberal use of
a corrupt campaign fund.
He took the oath of office. and COM

salary as a congressman. He voted for
every democratic measure that came IN
until the time came to place his party on
record in favor of a free coinage Hill as

ana being the protege of the Amalgamat-

MI. Campbell was looked upon as the man
who should present a free coinage bill and
makea fight for it's adoption.
ut was his place to have gone into the
democratic caucus and presented such a
Dill, and pledged the members of that
party to its support when the currency
bAl came up. While he could not have
hoped to secure the passage of a free COIN
age measure through the present con-
eress, he might have determined tha
financial policy of the democratic marty

Why has he compelled the democratic

such a loyal support, to go on day after

still in favor of silver. when it lay within

DEMOCRATS AGAINST SILVER.

The New York World, one of the ma.
tlonal organs of the democracy and q
power in the politics of the empire state
has come out strong against free
coinage, calling upon democrats tc
drop the ssh entirely. In it's issue OF
December 10th, under the caption Fact
VS.. Fiction" it says:
Mr.. Bailey's speech in the house yes
terday was a timely Illustration of how
Impossible it is to make a campaign upon
the money question. In 1896 the web and
the wool of the free-silver argument We're
that silver and all other commodities no
tably farm products. rise or fall in wall
lie together. While the campaign vas IN,
wheat. which was supposed by the silver
ties to be silver's friend and companion,
began to cut wicked capers and insisted
on traitorously fising in price while sill
Yer Went on falling. This tore a huge
hole in the argumentative fabric of the
silverites. Since 1896 there has been a
general rise in prices. without the slight
est regard to the market quotations of
silver.
Yet Mr.. Bailey. formulating the argu-
ment against the gold standard in it's
latest form, a find nothing to say ecept
a repetition of fallacies at which every
one in the country who buys or sells any
thing would burst out laughing.
MI. ScUdder, a democrat from Long Is
land, followed MIR. Bailey with the an
rouicdnlent that he proposed to obey his
constituents, stop quarrelling with a fact
as well Established as the multiplication
table and cast his vote for The gold stand
ard. Every democrat from New York
every democrat from massachusetts,,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
West Virginia, and also every democrat
from the gold-standard districts of Ken
lucky Illinois, should vote the same
way. There should be not less than AZ
democratic votes for the gold standard.
God standard and free silver are no
oaGer political questions. Any dis
clssion of their relative merits is now
necessarily mere expression of private
opinion, mere idle-hour augmentation.
10 ak OF free silver as an issue is like
akin of the prospects of Blaine or Til
den or Buchanan or Jackson for a presi-
deEtial nomination in 1900.
Gold standard is not political, not par
tlsan, but fact. Free silver is not politi-
cal, not partisan. but factional. The
larger the democratic vote for the gold
standard, the fewer the democratic votes
against it, the clearer it will become that
free silverIsm is mere f~actioralism, mere
vanity of opinion, without standing i m
any convention of intelligent politicians.
without a chance for a hearing in any
national campaign.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-12-21

done his plain duty as a double- geared
16-to-1 apostle of free silver?
Why. Oh why, did he quietly slip out
of Washington between the two ends Of
a railway car. just in time to escape
introducing a free coinage bill and hav-
ing his vote recorded in it's favor? If the
national democratic convention next year
refuses to endorse the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at a ratio
of Is to l., by the Independent action of
this nation. how is MI. Campbell and his
constituents going to explain his neglect
of duty when the first opportunity to do
something for silver presented itself?
