FOR A BIMETALLIC BASIS.
SENATOR NEi.SON A ROCKS AGAINST
THE FRICK COIN AGE OF SILVER.
Senator No s n, of Minnesota,
reeiently made his initial cpecch |
in the Senate. Ho rend from man¬
uscript and spoke jn a clear,strong
voice. Mr. Nelson said the free
and unlimited coinage of silver nt
the ratio of Iff to 1 by the United j
State alone at this time and under
existing conditions would destroy
the last vestige h nod last, hope 1 of!
genuine bimetallism and would re-

c coined 1 ni u | he ih »r^u argued u » and ve) ho now
erless to maintain itself in circu-
1 .
iiiiion.
As long ns tlio cheaper motal
can all ni al will u 111 be IH exchanged xi nangiu, and ami the un
public believe it can at. will be ox-
changed, for gold—dollar for dol-
jar—there is no object in retiring
the gold ii r from circulation. iz- It is
this principle of inloroouvertibil-
lty II, law i ftlld i 111 practice that has
kejit and is keeping our large vol-
tune of silver currency m. . eireula-

The American people aro

have good ground to fear that free

emuilerorop Facts and figures gathered from past
experience carry more weight than any
mero words of advice, and to thought-
ful men, tho following will appeal with
unmistakable force ;
It, has been conclusively shown that
outside of tho cotton grown and con-
suewd in other countries that iu Asia,
Africa, South America and Mexico, the
United States furnishes about 75 per
cent of tho cotton of cor.nucrco. In
other words tho world is dependent on
the southern farmers for throe fourth i
of the cotton which it uses and which
cannot be produced elsewhere. From
this simple statement it will be seen
what a power we hold among the nu-
thins of tho world and what a lever to
lift ourselves and our section into pros-
perity. But when onr cotton crop is made
