Lord Salisbury, prime minister, was in

THAT We have the gold standard in

publican politicians who tried 10 bctray
it, says Mr.. Cochran, but to The Eng

Mr.. Cochran challenges the State De-

between the Wolcott commission and the

togsay much more OF the loyalty OF the

Tho statement will attract wide atten-

given by Mr. Cochran have even been
