Show GENERAL J S CLARKSON most ably discusses tho the financial outlook pu publeo blia patronage being prostituted by cleveland avelind Cl to degrade and knock out sliver silver under date of san francisco july 1 1893 the republican leader general john S clarkson Clarks cn discuses discusses the financial outlook olit look in the examiner as follows perhaps I 1 inay may be permitted as a republican i alican I 1 to express the opinion that pl president les ident cleveland rings the fi rebell a little too loudly in in his proclamation calling an extra session of congress it is somewhat unusual for a president to lay so much etress stress upon an unfortunate financial situation in in his ilia own administration tra tion and cleveland is likely to find himself called as a witness in republican campaign documents on the subject of democratic financial depression the extra session has undoubtedly been called tor for the purpose of r securing curing le the absolute repeal of the tile sher sherman an bill cleveland cle eland is a gold man not only in his ilia own declarations but in all his affiliations he ile know knows swell well enough that ho lie and his hiL party are pledged to a rev revision ision of the tariff riff but ho he does not know how low to go about it and lie therefore exaggerates rates the financial difficulty of the hour in order to evade the tariff question ho ile wants to revise the tariff but ho lie cannot formulate a plan of course it is is impossible to say what congress will do I 1 alave ilave have always thought that the democratic party loved the whip and it may bo be that use of patronage tor for the of silver will result in in the accomplishment of ns AS object but it if so the tile next ton congress gress w will ill be elected on the question of or bimetallism and the latter will win the great fight will of course bo be in in the tile senate but I 1 cannot see who will lead cad it on the democratic side surely morgan of alabama will not hill has declared for silver and none of the old democratic war ses aro are rightly equipped to lead a fight unless 93 it bo be true that dan voorhees lias has suffered a change of heart then indeed there would be a sight eight for g goda and men it if the tall sycamore of the tile wabash once a famous greenbacker should be the leader of a contest in the senate to sustain the demonet bation of silver which the house is is sure to imitate the whole question might have been bottled settled in 1890 1800 except for the eo called silver senators themselves them selver who are not willing to rest content with the establishment lish ment of a american silver standard they wanted to take in in the w whole hole world that has been jupt the trouble with american silver men nien and they have found encouragement in the tile tendency of the democratic party toward towa rd european ideas as to the tariff and now as to finance why hy should the greatest silver producing country in in the world go abroad broa d for IT ideas aas as to silver legislation the i ery very tact fact that america does not legislate for the coinage of the home product of silver affords europe the best beat possible edible argument in favor of the aera degradation r of everything to the cold gold standard every largo european banking house has its branch in new york and it is the managers of these branches speaking in in bew new york but to serve european Lur ends who w ho are quoted all over the country as tho the wise men of the east whose service were of the wet west ought to take As a matter of fact eastern people are far more provincial brov ancial as to american ideas than western are it is the western man inan who is is the broad national fellow the tile areat ocean of americanism lies in in the valley of the mississippi and w west cst of it new york city which owes its wonderful growth during the past forty five years 5 ears to the sinews furi furni furnished 1 abed sned by tile products of the minine mining sta states tes of the far west now that she is it w wealthy and pro P r c forgets the new states from winch w i ach she drew lier her early sustenance the east is opposed to new states and new senators rhode island and connecticut want no more little commonwealths the trouble is that the east cast docs does not nt understand tile west it does not bear in lit mind that two thirds of the silver of the world is is produced in in this continent and nearly all of this west of the mississippi it cannot see the necessity of establishing nu all american silver policy poley yet that is 1 8 just what must be none then we will bo be I 1 in 11 a possession to demand concessions from the rest of tile world just sl long as we w e neglect this sr t so longeill long will vill europe do all it can to chock knock silver out and andt from present in dictations I 1 think nothing definite deri nite will until tho the republicans get in power again eastern inen men say I 1 am a heretic on tile silver question but I 1 stand just where I 1 always did I 1 am in favor of the development of tile silver product of the country this does not necessarily mean that I 1 am in in favor of money fo for r use but as a basis 1 of circulation but I 1 can readily see that there is plenty of room for two hundred millions of silver coinage in small change workingmen do not object to taking silver in wages government pensioners are glad to get it and I 1 have yet to hear of anybody who refuses it I 1 have read in the t ie bible that silver lias been money or a precious Dree ious metal at least since the foundation of the world and in d I 1 do not nat believe adelio a democratic cratic administration will be able to alter cither either the tild bible fible or silver I 1 do no not t believe fie the people pe pie of the united states are aro going goina to allow silver to be demonetized to satisfy the demand of europe or tho the whim of grover cleveland I 1 believe 0 however that the country will see gee the entire en tire pub lie patronage prostituted to this end but a as I 1 have already said sald the result resul t will bo be the tile election of a bimetallic congress in joll S CLARKSON ci |
