goldbug fold Tribune returned to the the Ike Ue people dont take much stock st l in i tat excuse Nest It I l that that the demand demtd for free coinage which hit it had been be vociferously yoet making for fr twenty twe ty years yeara ear was I nothing noting but a calamity cry cry anyhow I and would therefore be abandoned so i long as a Mark Hanna Hana contributed to tot its Individual i prosperity r The Te next excuse it offered d was s that silver sive is dead and cannot be made madean mae an issue in i the coming campaign campag Sub Subsequent Subsequent sequent events proved however that sliver silver siver is very ver much alive alve and that Hannas Hannaa tears and ad Lannas obituaries have been ben wasted on en n the desert crt air After Afe a a long tong spell of o silence the of silver siver explained its it abandonment of ot the principle by say saying ing the te welfare of or the Filipinos is of ot more importance to the American peo people people pie than the financial system upon which this ti country countr will wm have to t do business in the future This Th however was wa toy tOI to absurd to stand without rein reinforcement reinforcement So the widely known editor slapped his h pocket book and exclaimed algol Conditions have bave changed since I stood up for lor bimetallism bimetals But Buthis Buthis Buthis his followers do not share Mark Hannas benevolence with wih him and an another an another another other explanation was in order Then the Tribune although opposed to the retention re of the Philippines itself for reasons which it stated with wih an emphasis emphis it has ha not approached on the contrary side declared that It I would desert deer bimetallism because Bryan Bra was not pines pine In favor of of retaining the Philip Philippines Philippines Now it 1 sa that tat it i cant be b true to silver ive because David Dad B Hill Hi and Bourke Cochran Cockran may support Bryan BIan in tho the coming campaign They are gold gOldI hugo bugs bus it i fairly fairy shrieks and ad whether Mr Bryan Bran will wm subordinate silver siver or not thy they t will wJ do it I The Thc humor of ot this is very ve grotesque These gentlemen will come c me about as close cose to lo making the platform or ar arranging arranging ranging the isU s of oC the cam campaign paig as they did in 1806 They Te will wil vI have havo almost almos as much influence over the silver siver sentiment as C C Goodwin or Joe Lippman will wI have in the t national n Republican con convention over ove the Has Ha any anyone one heard of ot gold men going back on because Lannan and Lippman Lippma and Goodwin GoowIn and Glasmann have returned turned r to t the te regular Republican R can organization Is 13 that an excuse that will count with wih intelligent people pepie Senator Sinator Sinator Hoar Hoa is opposed to the war in the Philippines He says sa s the war waris warIs waris is unjust brutal and He Heis HeIs Heis is going goh g to support for re reelection reelection election electon however Why Wy Because of or his hi financial policy he says nays But is there any anyone one so s idiotic so childish so narrow In all U this land lad that they the will wi accuse Mr lr of going back on his conquest because Senator Hoar sup supports supports ports por him or that he wilt will 11 repudiate his insular policy to get the senators seat rs sup support support port There Is in only one paper in all al this thi country Countr countr that could or would descend to such methods of campaigning It I is Ia 1 the Salt Lake
