Daily Nevada State Journal (Newspaper) - April 29, 1890, Reno, Nevada DAILY STATIC JOURNAL TUESDAY APRIL 29 1890 C C Editor and Proprietor the WASHINGTON LETTER The Silver Fight as oy one on Scene of Battle Washington April 23 1890 Conference after conference canons after canons and yet no so far of a factory to the cause of silver The people want free and unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold the bers of both House and Sonata seem to wattr and their vacillating are in- juring oar just The President they say will veto any which has freu coinage of silver in it or which has anything in any other shape that will lead eventually to free coinage I do not agree with them on that point In my opinion there was never a time so for free coinage of silver as now and so far as Harrison is concerned I be- lieve he would not dare to veto a free ing hill One trouble is that the eilver men are not a unit in their lotions The fault to-day is not so much with the opposition for that number of members in both Houses is getting smaller by degrees The voice of the people ia beard throughout the land and the clear sounds of silver are now getting loader and loader every day bnt somehow our friends seem to be afraid of their own shadows Secretary Windom baa yielded to the demands of the House Committee on age and the section which gaye him dis- cretionary power to stop the purchase of silver whenever in hip opinion the market for was cornered or the prices was stricken out The Senate was less courteous to the Secretary and when his came the Committee on Finance they rather un- ceremoniously struck out everything after the enacting clause and inserted their own as an amendment Of course the was anything but pleased with such a proceeding and the Cabinet of the dent with the of the Treasury The seemed to consider that action as an opposition to an administration measure the friends of Harrison and Windom went to work and by hints here and there got the House Committee on Coinage down on the Senate seven of its members expressed opinion that when the Senate hill from the Senate to the House that they would retaliate and strike out thing after the enacting clause and insert Windom's HB it came from the Senate to their Finance Committee At first some of the Senators looked upon it as a joke and thought to return the compliment and as BOOH as i he House was passed and sent ia Semite to strike out everything after the enacting clause and insert the Senate as reported by our true friend of silver the Hon Senator John P Jones of Nevada Wiser heads rather advised a compromise before either of the bills came np for action Conferences were called bat the House seemed to insist on their and a back down on tha pait of the Finance Committee of tha Senate cusses of both parties were and yet no result towards a reconciliation To your correspondent's mind the only way to break this is to bring in a new in both House and Senate and let that be an out an on for the free and unlimited coinage Let the friends of silver rely on the good sense of the people boldly tackle the bull by the horns and with a twist and a pull wrench off the bores of the between which they DOT stand shaking and trembling knowing not what to do or how to do it what they have already begun Senator Stewart of Nevada brought in a for free coinage ia December last it is a good fills the wants and is all that can be desired bnt in presenting his be asked that it be referred to the Finance Committee Nobody was more surprised his action than your correspondent and cilling on the Senator I asked him how he to refer a free coinage to that com- knowing as he did that with the exception of Senator Jones of Nevada that body was decidedly opposed to free coinage and would never allow his to be referred back for action to the Senate He answered me that he knew all about that and that he did it with a certain pose ia and intent to put that com- and the majority of its members as well as the Republican party on record Considering that Senator Stewart claims to ba a I could not well see a for his queer action especially as he made the same to me in October 1888 when he brought in his free coinage No during sessions of the Fiftieth Congress and had it referred to that committee At that time I admit it mattered but little for President land waa in the chair and the chances to pass such a nigh lo impossible but BOW after he has pat that silver plaak into the Republican platform in Chicago to consign his to that leum of free coinage bills in the Finance Committee is beyond comprehension and the friends of silver are getting somewhat displeased with Senator Stewart's ing some say that he was not sincere and did not wish to have any action to be taken on it or he would have asked to have hie laid upon the table and take it np and disease it at any time especially knowing as lie did the feeling of the majority of that committee others say that the Senator is getting back to his old love or as he himself calls it cheap and plenty of it Be it as it may the cause of silver has suffered by it bnt above all his State of Nevada IVAN C MICHELS THE U S MINT REPORT THE
