Show OUT OF ITS OWN i MOUTH V AGAIN THE subject of free silver ims waa thus referred to in the tribune on wednesday daya we have never treated the silver question as a partisan question this whopper was told to evade the question of a correspondent soto as to the vote in the house on the stewart bill which when correctly given shows shown that members of each party voted against it the greater proportion of its opponents according to relative numbers being republicans liet let us put against this claim of the tribune some of the utterances of the tribune in the same issue of the paper in which is the claim of this appears the party in the majority always is and it is right that it should be held responsible for the passage or failure of any measure that comes up with president harrison reelected re elected there is possibility of having something effective done with silver with mr cleveland reelected re so elected president lot we do not see the slightest hope for silver for the next four years on tuesday last it said we have the plighted word of grover cleveland that if elected he will use hir hia utmost influence to cause the taking off of the tariff from all raw material we have further his repeated assertion that silver should be abolished as money altogether what has any man to hope for we mean any man jn in the west in case ae ne shall be elected what man in the west expects an any help in ease case a democratic president be elected on monday speaking of the stewart bill it remarked we do not think the effect of it would have been good had it become a law but no matter about that it was killed in the house of representatives although it has nearly a two thirds democratic majority nearly every one of whom was pledged to f free ree silver but they voted toted against it in the meantime president harrison has obtained the consent of all the prominent european powers to meet in a silver conference to try to make such an adjustment of the question as shall restore silver and just now a democratic house is withholding the necessary appropriation for such a conference that ought so be another inducement to cause them to vote a republican ticket on sunday it said if added to that the silver conference should reach a basis of settlement whereby silver as money would be restored his lH charrison arrison a election would be sure I 1 on saturday june 80 30 it gave some quotations from the philadelphia record en endowing endorsing the defeat of the bill and added the record and papers of the same kind represent nine tenths of the democratic party in the eastern states on friday june 29 it charged not one kindly word regarding silver has been spoken by mr cleveland in eight years there has never been a word a spoken by president harrison looking to the e repudiation tion of silver 02 now if these statements which are only samples out of scores and scores which we could reproduce if necessary do not treat the silver question as an a partisan question what do they signify it to is true that the paper that uttered them has stated that the silver question is not a partisan question 11 II I but in the very next breath it h has endeavored to show that one party and its candidates are the enemies of silver and that the other party and its if candidates are the friends of silver we do not care to take up the question of the correctness of the state ments of fact contained in the above quotations we do not want to defend one party or attack the other but we cite these discordant sayings to show that the tribune will say one thing today and deny it tomorrow and that it to is unreliable and reo klees and of that good memory which the claps to which it belongs ought certainly to have and cultivate |
