United States Senator Power of Montana, in an interview inter-view says he thinks tho silver advocates advo-cates in tho last congress had made a mistake in trying to adopt a measure providing for the absolute free coinage of silver. Tho senator is rated oilo of the most ardent silver men, because j (mown state was full of bullion ow n ers. He said, how ever, that ho did not think it w as sound policy to jump too quickly to the free coinage of the white metal. "It will not do for three silver producing pro-ducing states to attempt to dictate tho financial p olicy of the whole country," ho said, "Colorado, Montana and Idaho, of course want to dispose of their silver at the best possible, prices. I think tho -rest of the country is willing to act fairly with these states if they do not ask too much. 1 do not believe be-lieve it best to adopt free coinrge, whilo bullion is worth only $1 per ounce. When legislation is enacted that will I advance the price of builioti. which I hope will soon come, a free coinage law will follow naturally.
