He Demands That the Secretary of the Treasury and His Other Opponents Show Their Financial Hands to Their Constituents. LOUISVILLE, April 22.-—-In an interview given below, published in yesterday’s Cou- rier-Journal, Senator J. C. S. Blackburn in unmistakable terms outlines his position on the silver question and boldly throws . down the gauntlet to his opponents for ' similar candor on the same subject. With g .his usual aggressiveness, the senator al- ,mest dares his opponents to meet him on the issue he presents, and itomay be as- , sumed that the challenge will be prompt- ly accepted. ' , Though Senator Blackburn has persist- ently and repeatedly been solicited for an exact expression through the newspapers of his views-on silver, he has heretofore declined to be interviewed, and this state- ment is the first and only interview to which he has given authority, Senator Blackburn having written with his own hand the statement of his position, on '\ ‘\‘ SENATOR BLACKBURN. which he eXpeots to' stand or fall in the senatorial race." His challenge to his op- ponents is that they express their views as candidly as he does his through the col- umns of The Courier-Journal, that their position may become as widely known as his own, and that the people may decide between them. The senator’s statement , is as follows: I never had, have not now and never intend to have any secret in politics. I never did and never will ask the support of people without giving them the fullest information as to my position and sentiments. I am at a loss to un- derstand how any one, especially in Kentucky, can remain in ignorance as to my sentiments upon the silver question if they feel enough interest to desire such information. For the last 20 years, in congress and on the stump, anywhere and everywhere, I have earnestly and persistently insisted upon the restoration of the silver metal to that place in the money system of the country which it had always held prior to thepassage of that disastrous act of demonetization passed in 1873. Yet, if there are any still uninformed who de- sire to know what my views are, I will reiter- ate them in the shortest space possible by say- ing that I am in favor of opening the mints of this country to the unlimited coinage of the silver metal on an equality with gold. I am opposed to gold monometallism, and just as much opposed to silver monometallism. With- out reservation or evasion, I am a bimetallist. I want and mean to continue to insist upon the use of both gold and silver on even terms as the redemption money of this country. Favors Independent Action. I would be glad to see this result brought about by the action of an international confer- ence, provided that could be done without de- lay. I am Opposed to this government waiting for any such conference to act. Our experience with such agencies has not been such as to give us either confidence or hope for the at- tainment of this purpose. Upon the contrary, our participations in such conferences have in their very barrenness become farcical and ri- diculous. In 1792 this country, with only 4,000,000 of people, was bold enough and proved itself able to discard the monetary system of Great Brit- ain and establish one of its own, which for nearly 100 years met every demand and stood every strain that the growth and development of the country put upon it. I believe that the dos ction entailed upon us by this demons- tiza ion policy of one-half of our redemption money has contributed more than any cause to the shrinkage of all values, the deprecia~ tion of all property, the stagnation of trade, the paralysis of industry, the financial trou- bles in which we now find ourselves. - While it may be true that the restoration of silver to its place of unrestricted coinage and unlimited legal tender functions may not rove a panacea for the ills that we now suf- er, I am convinced that it will do more and go farther in that direction than any one piece of legislation that has been or could be sug- gested. I have an abiding faith in the capacity of this metal to work out and maintain its permanent parity with gold, provided the op- pressive hand of the law is removed and the mints of the country thrown open to its coin- age. I believe and always did believe that the act of 1873 was an unconstitutional measure. I believe that would have been so 'held by the supreme court of the United States had not a partisan spirit dominated the action of that tribunal. This conviction I have stated in de- bate upon the floor of the senate as broadly as I put it here. , - The Issue as He Sees It. . I agree with Daniel Webster, who in his day, and even to this day, was and is still held to be something of an authority as a consti- tutional lawyer. He declared that the consti- tution of the United States made gold and sil- ver the redemption money of this country, and that neither congress nor any state had any rightful power to substitute any nor to destroy either the one or the other of these metals. If congress had the power to demone- the silver, it must be conceded that it had the same power to demonetize gold. It has seen fit to exercise this assumed power as to one of these metals. Had it exercised the same power over the other the anomalous and somewhat embarrassing condition would not have ob- tained any money at all. If they could strike down halt, they could strike down all. I am in favor of the restoration of the silver metal at at rate of 16 to 1, believing in the light of an experience that covers a century, such ratio will establish and maintain per- manently the parity between the two metals. l I beliegejhat wags-locum take, this actionat the earliest day possible independent of the poli- cies or views offiother nations. In August, 1893, when the bill proposing to re- peal the purchasing clause of what was known as the Sherman act was before the senate, I said in a speech to and there delivered that I wanted right of coinage for the silver metal and without limitations; that if seigniorage was what my opponents demanded I was will- ing, not as a matter of fairness, but in a spirit of compromise, that the government should take 10 per cent of the silver bullion presented for coinage, or that if the question of ratio was what was. troubling I was willing, not as a matter of justice, but in a spirit of compro. miss, it 16 was not acceptable to take 17, 18, 19 or even a ratio of 90 to 21. But the opponents of this metal were not .to be pleased by any concessions either on the line of increased seigniorage or advanced ratio. They had destroyed the metal by a proc ess that has never been, in my opinion, sue cessfully justified, and from the hour of it| taking off until now they have never been willing that it should be reinstated. Let those *who will seek to distort and pervert the issue pending. The effort will fail. The American people are not to be hood- winked or deceived further. They at least are thinking, and the result of their investigation will vindicate the right. No. employment 01 catch phrases will determine the positive ver dict. The people are rapidly coming to know that the issue before them is not gold mono metallism upon the one side and silver mono metallism on the other. but it is rather a con trastbetwecn the advocates of a single gold standard upon the one hand and those who de mand the use of both gold and silver upon thi other. I trust that I have succeeded in this, an honest effort, to make my position upon this issue so plain that lie-who runs may read. His Challenge. If in this I have succeeded, I may now in dulge the hope that you journalistic gentle men of Louisville will now direct your ener gies and your efiorts to obtain equally plain and frank statements of the position from the gentlemen who have announced themselves Ol who are known to be candidates for the United States senate. I apprehend that the Democra- cy of Kentucky would like to hear them on this overshadowing, important question. I am sure that I would, and I trust that the people, through your efiorts, will be furnished with these replies, and that they will be explicit. For one to claim that he is a bimetallist, coupled with the condition that bimetallism is to be brought about only as a result of in- ternational conference, is a mere evasion. oi the situation. That is simply the situation. That is simply the work of the lawyer whc files the affidavit for a continuance. My friend: in Kentucky, I am sure, know my position upon this and all other public questions and are satisfied with it. Now, if there be one upon the list of an. nounced candidates for the senate who will avow himself an opponent of silver coinage and advocate a single gold standard, or, in other words, who is in accordance with view: held and advocated by your paper, and who will so declare himself, I will ask and urge every friend of mine in Kentucky holding those views, and who in spite of that fact is now supporting me, to withdraw his support from me and give it to the candidate who has _ been bold enough to make such a declaration. But I apprehend that no one of these worthy gentlemen will make such an avowal unless he couples with it an announcement of his with- drawal from the canvass. If this be true, if no senatorial candidate will espouse or accept your viewerwhat advantage comes to you by continuing a war upon me because of my con- victionsunless you are able to find on the lisi of aspirants some man who stands upon your platform. ' Carlisle Called Upon to Answer. Senator Black burn’s interview has called forth the following editorial from B. W. Knott, editor of The Evening Post, who calls upon Secretary Carlisle to come out and answor Senator Blackburn: ”Senator Blackburn has issued a chal- lenge to the administration and to the . friends of the administration. He uttered it first in January in an interview in The Evening Post, and hercpeats it today. He makes his position clear—the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to I, regard- less of consequences. It is a challenge which Mr. McCreary cannot meet, which must be met by the gentleman from Kent tucky who is by invitation of Mr. Cleve- land sccretary of the treasury. It should have been met before. “Under the defiance of Mr. Blackburn and Mr. ProctorVKnott the silence of the secretary savers too much of timidity. “The fight of sound principles for rea‘ son, for Democracy, must be made, and made before the meeting of the state con- vention in J unc. Hard money Democrats have waited for Mr. Carlisle to speak. They have waited for some indication that he was in earnest. He is the natural leader in this contest, and he cannot open the campaign too soon nor put into it too much of the fighting quality. The crisis is upon the Democratic party in Kentucky, and it cannot be averted. - “Speak now, Mr. Carlislo, or forever after hold your peace.“ MORTON ON FINANCE. ‘4‘ Statements “’hich Are Believed to Express President Cleveland’s Sentiments. WASHINGTON, April 22.-—Secretary Mor- ton gave out yesterday afternoon a signifi- cant interview on the silver question. Coming from a cabinet minister it is re. garded as expressing to a great extent the sentiments entertained by the president. When asked if he thought anything would grow out of the proposed international monetary conference, Mr. Morton replied: ~ ”I do not believe that an international congress can establish permanently a commercial ratio between gold and silver any more than it can establish a perma- nent commercial ratio between rye and wheat. But if an international conference , can fix the price of gold or silver it can also fix the price of wheat or of any other commodity and thereby avoid all the possi- ble shrinkages in values which tend to~ cause panics. ” “What,” asked the reporter, ”should be . the policy then of this country if nothing i 85”” is to be gained by a further discussion of this question through the agency of an in- ternational conference?” “My own judgment is,” said the secre- tary, “that we must sooner or later de- clare that the United States of America recognizes gold as the best and least fluc- tuating measure of value and medium of exchange which the commerce of civiliza- tion has thus far utilized._” When asked about the approaching Illi- nois convention and what he thought of the proposed work of that body, Mr. Mor- ton replied in general terms as follows: “I have no hesitation in declaring my- self utterly oppposed to all the free coinage fallacies, all the 16 to 1 lunacies and all of the cheap money illusions and delusions which Populists and other vagarists advo~ H cat-e". Secretary Morton answers the question ' dinary man’of business may answer that recently put by senatts‘stswast snatch: ers as to what sound money is. ' ' ‘ ‘ The president’s critics,” said the score ’ . tary. “ask what is sound money.- Any 01" question. ‘Sound money’ is that sort of currency which has the most universal and least fluctuating purchasing power in the markets of‘ all countries. That money is the ‘soundest’ for which throughout the commerce of the civilized world = there is the most universal demand. And that universal demand is always based upon the universal and unfluctuating purchas‘ ing power of that money. The present epidemic of the silver fever will in due time abate. As the temperature of the 16 to 1 patients declines mental aberration will disappear and reason once more re- sume its sway.” if : maintainlusmumounu Ellllillllllillm. | I- D %XIRA Fm: THE animus THEMED COMPANY.

The question of how the baby shall be fed is demanding the attention, as never before, not only of the mothers in the land, but 0! the entire medical profession also, because itis now realized how much the health of a child can be influenced by proper nutrition luring the years of babyhood. As the re« sult of the improper feeding of the infant, the vitality of the child is impaired, and he grows up weak and puny. In these days when artificial food is being so generally re. sorted to for infants, the demand for asub stitute for mother’s milk has brought out many foods for which eat claims are made. GustavMellin, an nglish chemist, was the first to discover and combine the requisite properties necessar$ for an arti- ficial food, and with his scovery the rational feeding of infants commenced. Mellin’s Food is the only perfect substitutt for mother’s milk, and it has done more to make babies strong and healthy than any thin else that has ever been invented. Mell n’s Food possesses all the requisite heat and flesh producmg and bone-forming constituents necessary to give a chil health. vigor and Vitality. . Infants are ex- ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon it when nothing else can be retained upon the stomach. If they have been weak, from!) and troublesome they become happy, healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy )heeks, firm muscles and a strong consti- tution are the inevitable results of usin this excellent preparation. Mellin’s Foot being highly nutritious and easily digested, is also perfectly adapted to the wants of in. fluids and convalescents. TH E O N LY .
