THE BATTLE FOR SILVER.
SENATOR VOCRHEESGIVESHISVIEWS
ON THE QUESTION.
Sooner or Later the Question Unit B«
Definitely Sattlid—The Sttermen Act Hea
Been Burled in an Cnhonored Qravi—The
Oneitlon la Immediately Before the Peo-
ple and No Batter Time Than Now Will
Be Found to Settle It.
Indianapolis, April 29-Senator Voor
hees, In a talk today with the Sentinel's
Washington correspondent, made the
following statements of his views In
regard to the free coinage of silver:
■‘I do not regret the agitation of the
silver question. Sooner or later it has
to be definitely Bottled whether the
laboring and proiuoing people of this
country can be bullied out of one-half
of their debt-paying money or whether
they will stand ap like free men and
protest and defend the money named
and provided for in the constitution—
gold and silver both—not one of the
precious metals alone, but both, and
on terms and conditions as to oolnage
and nse of absolute equality. That is
the question immediately before ns,
and no better time than now will ever
be found for its settlement. No great
national question is, at this time, in
the way ol a lull, free and fair discus-
sion of money, currency, preoious
metals, ratios, standards of value,
units of account, and payment, and the
bearings which all these things have
on the general welfare of the great
body of the American people. The
silver question Itself Is also plainer to
view, less obscared by the craft of its
enemies than at any time einoe the
assassination of silver money in 1873.
There are no legislative switches
no w in existence to lead people away
from tbe main fraok. No oowardly
makeshifts or inainoere shams can any
longer darken the discussion or betray
honest councils. The Sherman act,
which was conceived in rancerous has
tillty to sliver and brought forth In
to law by the iuiqultious betrayal of
silver’s free ooiuage, has been buried in
an unhonored grave. I have never
been willing to admit that our system
of currenoy should be dictated by EDg
laud and other foreign oonntriea and I
repel that idea now. A new and vital
issue now presented to the Amerioan
people is the proposed elimination of
silver from our currency, Its total over
throw as a money metal and the use of
gold alone. This is what Is now meant
by the movement against silver. Wnat
ever disclaimers may be made to the
contrary, this movement means the de-
struction of half the debt paying money
of the United States and the world.
“If it should be successful, it will
double the burdens of every debtor and
multiply tbe galDs and inoome of every
creditor, wherever the sun shines. The
need of the white metal in the hands
of the people is even greater now than
ever before. There is soaroely a speok
of gold in s’ght of the laboring classes.
In round numbers there are nearly
four thousand millions of gold money
In the world and about the same
amount of silver. With silver demone-
tized the plain people, the wage work
era and those who raise and sell the
prodnot of the soil will handle specie
money no more forever, and will oatoh
even a glimpse of It bat eeldom. Gold
will be hoarded and hid away in vaults
of the great magnates of wealth Bnd
the people in their business will be put
on half rations of paper money to
whlob shrinkage and and nontraotion
from the basis of bimetallism to the
basis of monometallism will redaoe
them.”
ment. A. J. Walker, Jno. MoOook
and J. 0. Wilson, resigned as reoelvers
and in their stead, Henry Rietue was
appointed. There were present Re-
oetver A. J. Walker, George R. Peck,
counsel for the SBnta Fe reoelvers, al-
so for the Colorado Midland; E. R.
Kenna, counsel for the St. Louis &
San Franoisoo; H. T. Rogers, oounsel
for the Central Trust Company of New
York, and representing the bondbold
ere oommittee, and.O. B. Smith, also
counsel for the bondholders. Judge
Caldwell fixed Mr Rtstue’s bond at
125,000.
The Colorado Midland has a total
mileage of 350 miles,the main line from
Colorado Springs to New Castle is 233.
There are no important branohea. The
road was chartered in 1883 and opened
for trafilo five years later. The entire
capital stock Is controlled by the Santa
Fe, and siDoe May, 1893, the Santa Fe
has operated it directly.
“There Is nothing In thlr,” said Re-
ceiver A. F. Walker last night, ••be-
yond what appears on the snrfaoe.
The Santa Fe reorganization plan,
which was recently promulgated, did
not Include the Colorado Midland,
although provision was made for bring-
ing that road within the fold at some
future time. Now that the Midland
people think that this is a good ohanoe
to show their strength and operate
theirllne independently, we,of theSanta
Fe, have no objection. The two roads
will maintain friendly relations, and
the change may or may not be bene-
ficial.” _
