Show PROTESTING AGAINST SILVER. Faneuil hall, Boston, that in always at the front in great emergencies, has, irrespective of party, protested against the proposed free-coinage swindle. Cincinnati Commercial. Several ,of the speakers at the anti-silver anti-silver meeting at Fancnil hall quoted from Daniel Webster. They recognize the fact that Senator Webster dead is more modern than Senator Hoar or Dawes. Boston GHbe. It would have made John Sherman happy to have heard those ringing cheers for him in Faneuil ball, but it is doubtful if they contributed to the peace of mind of either of the alleged senators from Massachusetts. Uostou Herald. Massachusetts, of "every kind of politics," poli-tics," jumped with both feet yesterday on the free silver coiners, who are denounced de-nounced as compulsory rcpudiatori. The jump, of course, was made in the "Old Fan" hall, w here so much saltatory salta-tory exercise has been indulged in by every generation. Washington Star. Boston spoke in singing tones last night against free coinage. Addresses were mado by prominent gentleman who showed that only about ft per cent of all commercial transactions required a cash settlement, and w ho argued that this small percentage should be tho best money. A few meeting like this at Boston, held iu different parts ol tlie country, ought to have a good effect. Pittsburg Chronicle. Representative Mew England sentiment senti-ment voiced in that historic Boston auditorium audi-torium was unanimous in condemnation condemna-tion of this covetous grasping for legislation legis-lation to benelit a clas at the expeut- of the many. Faneuil hall memories may tot weigh against the western notion no-tion of what constitutes statesmanship, but as evinced last night they show how the solid opinion of the country is massing mass-ing against a degraded currency .Troy Tunes. Old Faneuil is once more the scene of a protesting ceremony and the occasion is noue the less important because it involves the material as well as tho moral welfare of the country. The protest pro-test against the reckless scheme of silver sil-ver speculators to load this prosperous country with the burden of a debased and debasing currency a scheme backed np by those who hold it fair to depreciate a currency iu order to rob a creditor is a proper protest to come from that hall. It is an appeal for honesty hon-esty and for safety. Milwaukee Sentinel. Senti-nel. , ' |
