to know what he Is talking about
tell him frankly thnt well. If he Is a
big man, that he prevaricates.
When the above facts are quoted at
a silver man. his usual way of escap
ing Is to say:
"Perhaps the bill as a w hole was dls-
cusstd. hut the bill as discussed did
not omit the standard dollar. The
name of thnt coin was somehow drop
ped after the discussion and before
the bill was signed. That Is where
tho surreptltlousness and the crime
camo In."
Now the answer to that assertion is
the aame as to the former statement.
The mmi who makes It Is either Igno
rant or deliberately false.
The bill as tl est presented contained
no provision for any silver dollar at
all, either In the senate or the house.
Afterwards, In the senate, the "trade
dollar" was Introduced Into the bill
(for trade purposes with China, Mex
ico, etc.) and remained there. But ev
erybody understood fully thnt no stand
ard dollar as provided for, and no
proposition was ever made at any time
In any of the discussions, either In the
senate or the house, that such a dol
lar should be coined, and this was be
cause everybody knew that the propo
sition to continue to coin such a dollar
would be absurd.
Why?
To answer this wo will take up the
second statement of the silver men.
(2). Did the omitting of the stand
ard dollar strike a "deadly blow" at
the sacreel right of allver as a money
metal?
Not precisely. The reason why It
these enormous purchases by the gov
ernment, and the silver men cried for
more. help. Again they beset congress
with their lobby and again they got
w hat they wanted a part of It. for
nothing would have entirely sntistied
them. They got the Sherman act,
w hich provided for the purchase of four
and one half million ounces per month
by the government and four and one
half million ounces will make make
nearly six million standard dollars.
Think of It! In ninety years we had
coined only eight million dollars; and
now the government began to buy sil

more in every six weeks than had

Was done from the stump, and never
did a more formidable array of cam
paign orators expound Republican doc

the struggle was not entirely one-sided.
With Internal dissensions and lack of
funds to contend with, the Democrats
made a very strong fight. In the last
two weeks the gold Democrats took a
hand In the struggle and several of
their leaders addressed large audiences
In the cities, but the returns tonight
Indicate that the principal effect ef
their participation in the campaign
was to strengthen the Republican
ranks. If the names of the nominees
of the gold Democrats had been on the
ticket, however, it Is believed a very
good show ing would have been made.
(.nmllilute Hateman was the main
strength of the Populists in their can
vass, his efforts being mainly de
voted to keeping the members of his
party who favored free silver out of the
Democratic ranks. His opposition has
been baaed on the candidacy of Sewall
for vice-presidency, which he main-
tins Is Inconsistent, and his objection
to the Democratic ticket on that ac
count has been most strenuous. The
figures at hand indicate there has been
some decrease In the Populist 'vote. It
