He expressed his sympathy with the senators from tne silver states and said that { the q tion did not inw serious interests of ire country he and those who beiteved with him would be willing to grant their appesls and grant them ail they asked. It was oelieved that the further purchase of silver and making it the stand- ard of vaiue would work irreparable injury to the business of the whole country, w the wages and property of every citizen in the land. It would tend to degrade the money of the coustry. The silver mining interest, although important to the silver states, was not nesarly as important as the senators from those states thought. It was a comparatively small industry and did not compare with any of those industries which were the foundation of the wealtn of the and 1t is thad interest that va v theen ap- peated for protection, even though in sub- stituting silver for the standard money the CUnited States detatched itseif trom all t commervial nations and separated itseif s standard of s people of the worid, except and South America, and of India and China a states.
