JUSTICE TO THE DEAD
BY sAvoYARD.

into the arms of Wall street There never was a bigger lie invented by the devil himself than that, unless 1t was the one that J. Pierpont Morgan was fool enough to give Secretary Carlisle a brioe Of $12.oO0.O00 cash paid in gold to sell him at a prem ium $e5.900.0 900 bonds Payable in coin, either gold or silver. Thous- ands of folks believed that, too. and yet the authorities let such people so at large.
 Carlisle's friends de1ed tho silver ties to print entire Carlisle's speech which they garbled, and which prac- tical forgery Was responsible for the common error that Carlisle was a deserter from the silver cause AS I said. his original view was that there should be free coinage, not at lG to l, but at the market ratio; but after his luminous mind profoundly meditated on the subject he quickly saw that concurrent free coinage of gold and silver at any nxec ratio whatever had never been practical in any country at any time and that it was impossible anywhere and at any time. And on that stubborn fact the Democratic party wrecked .itself in 1896.
 Except Heury c. Turner. MT. Car lisle was the gentlest public man of his day. He never allowe1 his tongue to speak evil Of anyoEc i'e rever railed against his bit.eresi enemy. He loved peace and oTder- He was the greatest jurist of the age. and wo1II have been the get est of judges n 'bc bench. While his intellect was fI.gid in it's logic, he had a kren sense of hnmor, and if he had been endowed with the aggressive self-assertion of many 8 smaller man he would have reached the presidency. President he would have been anyhow. if the silvs- question had not intermeddleo 10 the anarchy of politics.
 What mark for islander he was He wrote the sugar schedule or the Wilson tariff as it passed the house of representatives in 1894. Then tae suEar trust rose in arms and oe- scenJed on the senate and mustered it's cohorts so that when the tnlng was ~Gormanized" {, the sugar sched- ule was perfectly satisfactory 10 the sugar trust Then the liars oe- gan. One fellow was absolutely GIT cumstantial and that is what ruinea him. He said that a certain hour or narticular da. 'ohn G. Carlisle secretary of the treasury, wi'u a folded umbrella for staff, walked tb1ough Wall street, entered the or fee of J. Pierpont Morgan, and got his bribe for the sugar 'schedule oi fhe Wilson tariff; but on investigs- tion if developed that that very uay MT. Carlisle did days work at nis desk in the treasury department and the wes ther bureau showed Una. at the identical time this fellow salo Carlisle was walking in Wall street with A closed umbrella it was ram ing furiously in that street.
 Like every other secretary or me treasury from Hamilton down. MT Carlisle consulted with the bankers as MT. Bryan's secretary or tne treasury would have done had MT i Rrvan been elected in 1896. How would a farmer follow the plough II his stomach was deranged? Nor can inc country thrive when it's banks ' which are the stomach Of business are out of whack. A secretary or the ] treasury can no more run his oe nar,ment without consulting banks ! than A lawyer can practice his pro | session without consulting books.
 When Carlisle voted for the nrs' Bland bill. not one man in thous and knew anything about the SUD feet. Nearly everybody was for lc to 1. as nearly everybody had oee1 for greenbacks. that write lnis was a bowling 16-to-1-er. and sc pro found and so defiant was my ignor ance of the thing that I must neeas write an absurd book ab>ut 1t. am devoutly glad it is out of print except one copy JohL Rnea or Rus seIlville, Ky, got hold of, and some of his friends say # Is the only hoos John never read.
 John G. Carlisle was very grea' nan and an eminsntly good man
