BATTLE OF THE‘METALS
Carlisle Praises Gold and Gets an 0V3:-
tion at Bowling Green, Ky.
BLACKBURN ANSWERS HIM.
In a Hot Speech at Lawrenceburg the
Senator Advocates Silver and' Says He
Win Win Despite the Administra-
tion—Bryan’s Silver Talk.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky., May 27.—-Hon.
J. G. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury,
spoke in the opera house here before an
audience that packed the hall and the
streets surrounding it.
When Mr. Carlisle was shown on the
stage, he was greeted with loud applause.
He Was introduced by the Hon. C. U. Mc-
Elroy. There were no formalities, and the
secretary launched forth in his speech.
Several times at the opening of the speech
the applause was so loud and the enthusi-
asm Was such. that he was interrupted.
After a brief statement that he was-there
as a Democrat to discuss public questions
and not in any way to apologize for the
administration, which, he knew, needed
no apology. Mr. Carlisle commenced as
» follows: .
"Therquestion is whether we shall con-
tinue to preserve our present monetary
system, under which all the dollars in use
With the people, whether gold, silver or
paper, are equal in purchasing power in
all markets.
“The proposition of your fellow citizen
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of legal tender silver is that the United
States alone, without the assistance and
co-operation of any other government in
the world, shall legalize the coinage of
419% grains of standard silver into stand-
ard dollars and by law compel the people
of the United States, but nobody else, to
receive these dollars in payment of debts
of all kinds, when as a matter of fact the
silver contained in such a coin is only
worth about 50 cents. But the claim by
the free coinage men that free coinage at
16 to 1 would appreciate silver and-bring
it to a parity with gold destroys the argu-
ment that it would furnish the people
with cheap currency with which to pay
debts.
“No country can‘ establish the free
coinage of both metals. giving to each full
legal tender quality and both increase at
the same time. England tried it for 500
years, with strict laws against the exporta-
tion of any coin, lost all her gold and was
driven in 1800 to the single standard.
Wherever in the currency of a country a
metal is overrated in comparison with an-
other metal the undervalued metal is
driven out of the country.
"There are five propositions which ab-
solutely cannot be avoided: .
“First—There is not a free coinage
country in the world today that is not on
a silver basis.
“Second—There is not a gold standard
country in the world today that does ‘not
use silver money along with gold.
”Third—There is not a silver standard
country in the world today that uses any
gold as money along with silver.
"Fourth—There is not a silver standard
country in the World today that has more
' than one-third of the circulation per capita
that the United States has.
“Fifth—There is not a silver standard
country in the world today where the la-
boring man receives fair pay for his day’s
Work.
"If the United States could coin all the
silver in the world available for coining,
the 371 % grains of pure silver contained in
our dollar would not be worth in this
country as much as the silver dollar, but
the silver dollar itself would be depreciat-
ed. The Mexican dollar, with 377.17
grains of silver six grains more than the
American dollar, is worth only about 50.
cents of our money. That would be exact-
ly the effect on our silver dollar if we
coined for private account free all the sil-
ver brought. If we can. by making the
ratio 10 to 1. make a silver dollar pass as
100 cents when it is only worth 50 cents,
why could it not be done at a ratio of 10
to 1?
“Before free coinage of silver can be
brought about, another congress and an- '
other president favorable to it would have
to be elected. This would certainly take
three years, and before that time every
creditor in the country, seeing the coming
of cheap money, Would call on his debtors
to liquidate‘before the cheap money was
in effect, would bring upon the country a
panic compared with which all former
panics were as nothing.
"In 1806, when the Spanish dollar and
the French crown were made the legal
tender and wore slightly under weight. it
drove all the full Weight American silver
dollars out of the country, so that Mr.
Jefferson stopped the coinage of the silver
dollar. The subsidiary coin was also driven
out because of full fractional weight, and
the coins were slightly reduced in weight
in order to hold them in circulation.”
BLACKBURN’S REPLY.
He Scores the Administration and Says He
“fill Win In Spite of It.
Lawnsncnnune, Ky., May 27.—Sena-
tor J. 8.0. Blackburn, replying to Sec-
rotary Carlisle, in his speech here spoke
substantially as follows:
“They Were not satisfied to let Mr. Mo- -
Creary, Mr. Buckner, Mr. Brown and my-
self fight this battle on its merits. but they
imported a man who is greater than John
the Baptist to drive back this silver craze,
as they call it.
what I am going to say about Mr. Carlisle
will be said in the kindest terms. I do not
mean to complain of Mr. Carlisle for com‘
ing here to his own state to speak, for he
has the right to come. ~ It was not neces-
sary for him to apologize for coming.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I .do not know
in What capacity the gentleman came and
spoke, whether he came asa citizen of this
grand old commonwealth or as secretary
of the treasury. But God knows I am not
willing to say he came in the capacity of
secretary of the treasury to dictate about
this all important question. But no mat-
- ter how he came, 93 whg hols. Iliavc the
New, understand that.
iightto answer him, and that is What I
am going‘to do. It may be called sacrilege
for me to reply to so great a mind, but I
Would reply to the president should he
come down here and take issue against
me. [Applause] No man can get so big
in mind or body but what he can be an-
swered.”
Mr. Blackburn went on to prove Car-
lisle’s inconsistencies. Said he: “Carlisle
said in Covington that he had never been
for free silver.. If the speech he made in
1878 was not a free silver speech. what
was it? He let this speech go for 17 years
without saying anything against it. New
' icomes Out and says it Was not a free
h
s} ver speech. Well, then, wevwill believe
3 r. Carlisle and not his speech. and I will
go on and give you a little proof that is
proof. On the 7th day of November, 1878,
Mr. Carlisle, while sitting by my side in
the house of representatives, voted for the
Dick Bland bill, which was a silverbill
out and out. I do not ask you to take my
word on this, but look on pages 143 and
144 of the journal of proceedings of the
Forty-fifth congress, book No. 1,093. Only
fiveycars ago the Sherman bill passed. I
voted against that bill. So did Carlisle.
Yet he is making the same old speech that
Sherman made then.
”New, I know you will say showing his
inconsistency does not answer his argu-
ment. I know that, and I am now~going
to answer his argument, every point of it.
I thought that with the mighty Garlisle
they were going to throw new light on,
this subject. but they did not. He did not -
advance a single new idea. First he makes
the assertion that if you have free coinage
of silver you will put the country on a sil-
ver basis and will drive all gold out of
the country. That is not true. We have
tried it once, and when we quit had $3 to
$1 in gold more than when We begun. He
says this country would be the dumping
grounds for all silver bullion. He is ofl
there, for ours is the only nation under the
sun that has silver bullion.”
The speaker Went on to answer every
point of the Carlisle speech to his own set-
isfaction. Mr. Blackburn then jumped on
the administration, saying: .
“I am greatly handicapped, but let
Messrs. Cleveland and Carlisle and all the
rest take the stump, and I will still win
this race in spite of the whole combina-
tion. ” '
BRYAN 0N FREE GOINAGB.
A Crowd From Three Southern States
Gathers to Hear the Err-Congressman.
JACKSON, Tenn, May 27.—-The silver
mass meeting at the tabernacle here was
attended by 5,000 men from northern Mis-
sissippi, western Tennessee and Kentucky.
Hon. J. M. Bryan, of Nebraska was the
principal speaker. The gathering was pre-
ceded by the organization of- a, county bl-
metallic league, with P. C. Murray, a
leading manufacturer, as president. May-
or Caruthers presided at the tabernacle
meeting.
Ex-Congressman Bryan received an eva-
tion when he was called upon to speak,
He said the opponents of free coinage had
for years shielded themselves behind am-
biguous phrases and had pretended to be
adherents of bimetallism. It has for that
reason been difficult to make the issue
clear and distinct. Since Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Carlisle have new pronounced for
gold there is no longer any need of doubt
or concealment.
Universal gold standard would be a
crime against our nation as a debtor, and
our country would suffer much more than
England from a gold standard. The speak-
er here quoted from a memorial just pre-
sented to the chancellor of the English ex-
chequer regretting the growing agitation
in favor of bimotalllsm. The ratio of 16
to 1 ' is the most practicable ratio. If it
should be fixed differently, say 24 to 1, by
international governmental agreement, it
would contract the metallic money of the
world one-sixth, increase the debts of the
World billions of dollars and decrease the
market value of the property of the world.
Said he: "It is absurd to speak of the
silver dollar as a cheap dollar and then
complain that free coinage would enrich
the mine owners. Mr. Cleveland and his
associates seem to be trying to run the
Democratic party on the financial policy of
John Sherman. The agitation now going
on will soon be over, and the Democratic
party will rest again in undisturbed pos-
session of Democratic principles and will
present an almost unbroken front in favor
of the gold and silver'coinage of the con-
stitution. ”
Missouri’s Special Session.
JEFFERSON CITY, Me, May 27.—-The
special session of the legislature called by
Governor Stone to enact “a fellow serv-
ant” and a new election law and to take
some action in regard to the methods of
the lobby has adjourned sine die. A new
election law, which is now in the hands of
the governor awaiting his approval, was
passed, but besides a few appropriation
bills no other Legislation for which the ses-
sion was called was enacted.

Those Brought Under the Free Alcohol See-
t’lon' Said to Be Sure \Vinners—A Big
Loss of Revenue In Sight—Cleve-
land and the Supreme Court.
Wasumsron, May 27.—There will be
another effort to test the constitutionality
of parts of the tar-iii law, and it is even
possible that the validity of the Whole law
will be questioned before the supreme
‘court. ‘
Two trial cases under the free alcohol.
section of the tariff not have been prepared,
based on the claims filed by Sharp &
Dohme of Baltimore, manufacturers of
Dunlap, the
hatter. A trial is Impecte next fall. A
victory for the claimants is thought at
both the departments of justice and the
treasury to be a foregone conclusion. '
The free alcohol section was introduced
as an amendment to the tariff act by Sen-
ator Hoar of Massachusetts. It was passed
with little discussion and is as follows:
“Any manufacturer finding it necessary
to use alcohol in the arts or in any other
medicinal or light compounds may' use
the same under regulation to be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury. And on
satisfying the collector of internal revenue
for the district in which he resides or car— .
ries on business that. he has complied with
such regulation and has used such alcohol
therein and exhibiting and delivering up
the stamps which show that a tax has been
paid thereon he shall be entitled to receive
from the treasury of the United States a
rebate or repayment of the tax so paid.”
Commissioner Miller estimates that
9,000,000 gallons of alcohol are annually
used for manufacturing exclusive of that
used in hitters, cordials and other prepara-
tions. On this basis the loss cf revenue in
the event of a decision against the govern-
ment would amount to nearly 810. 000, 000
yearly,- and should the manufacturers of
proprietary medicines likewise recover by
judgments through the court of claims it
might reach $15,000,000.
The Supreme Court.
Associate Justice Jackson of the su-
preme court is said to have intimated to
the president his willingness to be retired.
His health is so bad that he will never be
able to resume active work on the bench.
A great deal has been written recently on
the subject of the probability of his retire-
'1nent. Justice Jackson might resign, but
he is not yet eligible to retire voluntarily
on full pay. If he .were to resign, his sal-
ary would cease, and, While he is generally
understood to be quite Wealthy, he declines
to give up his income from the bench. To
enable him to retire, congress may pass a
special not. If this should occur, the jus-
tice has already expressed his willingness
to take advantage of the offer. It is ru-
mored here that President Cleveland will
urge congress to pass the bill.
The chief executive may find it difficult
to bring the new congress around to his
way of thinking in this matter, for it is
whispered about among the Republican
leaders that Mr. Cleveland’s political ad-
versaries are unwilling to permit him to
make any more appointments to the su-
preme bench than are absolutely necessary
by force of circumstances.
The President’s Policy.
The appointment of a successor to Jus-
tice Jackson by President Cleveland could
not change the political personnel of the
court. for Jackson, although he was ap-
pointed by President Harrison. is a Demo-
crat. But President Cleveland has inti-
mated rocently that it will be his policy
hereafter in choosing judicial timber to Ee-
lect very young g men with the view of
maintaining political supremacy in the
highest court of the land. .
This hint has been quite sufficient for
the Republlican leaders, who, While under
ordinary circumstances they would not be
averse to exchanging one Democratic judge
for another, are reluctant to have Justice
Jackson retire and he succeeded by a young
Democratic jurist giving promise of per-
petuating the Democracy on the supreme
bench for another 20 years. The chances
are that Associate J usticc Jackson will
not serve through the next administration,
and all indications point to his successor
being a Republican.
Senator Palmer’s Statement.
Senator Palmer was discussing probable
changes in the personnel of the supreme
court today, when some one remarked,
“Senator, the president appointing su-
preme -court justices would hardly take
into consideration a candidate’s attitude
toward the income tax law. ”
‘ “He wouldn’t?” exclaimed the Illinois
senator, witha show of surprise. “That
is the very point he would consider. You
may rest assured that the president will
. never appoint another man like Chief J us-
tice Fuller to the supreme court. He ro-
grets the day he ever made such a selec-
tion. Fuller holds the law unconstitu-
tional.”
Senator Palmer’s statement is supposed .
to reflect Mr. Cleveland's views, and it
has caused something of a sensation.
