Special Washington Letter.
Hitherto In these letters I have spo
ken of the marvelous strength as a de
bater of Joseph W. Bailey of Texas.
His great speech on the financial bill
is a new confirmation of the opinion I
hare Ions held touching his vast men
tal capacity. Lie is in our public life
the Intellectual successor of John C
Calhoun. His mind Is severely logical.
His courage, moral and physical, is
above proof. He's a Democrat from
core to skin, and he stands by his prin
ciples without the shadow of turning
and . without considering" the conse
quences to himself, lie is a man whom
one could follow blindfolded on any
question affecting the welfare of bis
party or the honor of . his country. I
not only admire him for bis brains and
learning, but entertain fur him a deep
personal affection. lie is only 3G years
eld. If he lives to the psalmist's allot
ment, he will rank with the most Illus
trious statesmen who have adorned
and glorified the republic.
In the bouse there is really little
chance for adequate debate, but if
Bailey reached the senate, for which
be is now a candidate, where there Is
ample time for debate and a wider
field for oratory, I confidently predict
that during his first term he wHl be
come one of the leaders of that body.
Such men as Bailey constitute the hope
of Democracy and of constitutional
government.
Food For Reflection.
I shall offer no apology for malting
op this letter largely front extracts
from that speech, being absolutely cer
tain that I could say nothing which
would furnish my readers more sub
stantial food for reflection. I wish I
had room' for It all. Ilia splendid ex
ordium was as scathing as anything I
know of in the literature of political
polemics, nere it Is:
"This bill and the reasons which
fcave been offered in support of it ex
emplify the readiness of our Republic
an friends to abandon their own posi
tions nd to adopt the argument of
their . opponents. 1 remember that
three years ago. when one of the most
talented men that ever occupied a seat
In this hall, toward the conclusion of
one of the most splendid speeches ever
delivered on this floor, exclaimed that
the Republican party has not yet de
clared in favor of a single gold stand

voices on that side declaring. 'And it

Mr. Hardy and others responded to
Mr. Towne's declaration thqt 'the Re
publican party had not yet declared in
favor of a gold standard with the con-
fident exclamation. And It never wilir
If It had been Mr. Hardy alone, I
would not attempt to hold the Repub
lican party responsible for his utter
ance. But It was more than Mr. Har
dy and it was more than any one or
two men. If It had been only one oth
er, the reporters of the house would
have said 'Mr. Hardy and Mr.
Had there been two or three, they
might have recorded the names of all
of the Interrupters; but, with a fidelity
to the truth which does honor to the
gentlemen who serve us In the capac
ity of reporters, they recorded the In
terruption as by 'Mr. Hardy and oth
ers. because those speaking were so
numerous they could not enumerate
them alL
I am aware that It does not embar
rass my friends across the aisle to be
reminded of these things. I have wit
nessed the absolute Indifference with
which they hear our accusations of in
consistency. They declare that they
aro ready to change 'their position
whenever they change their minds,
and that declaration does credit to their
moral and political courage. But it
Is not creditable to their wisdom that
they so frequently take a position one
year which the are compelled to aban
don the next year. 'I honor them for
being ready to change whenever they
are convinced that they are wrong,
but ! am not willing to trust them in
face of the fact that they find It neces
sary so often to repudiate their most
6olemn declarations. The fact of it is,
Mr. Chairman, that our Republican
friends have always been so busy
studying the trend of events that they
have never found time to study the
money, question as a science. They
know Just as much about it and they
know no more today than they knew
four years ago. which was and is noth
ing at all. They study events; they
do not study principles. They have
long since accepted the shallow drivel,
which some men miscall a maxim,
that statesmanship is the seience of
circumstances, and circumstances can
not change more rapidly than they."
Objections to Gold Standard.
- Further along be discoursed upon the
causes of the present status of things
S follows;
If UK'S
"Our friends on the other side seem
to think that they have completely an
swered our objections . to the gold
standard when they point to the exist
ing good tiroes, and the burden of ev
ery speech on that side has been that
the prosperity of today refutes the ar
guments which we made In 1S9G. Let
us examine that question for a moment
and 8-- e how much weight that method
of argumentation ought to possess
with Intelligent people. Let us recall
what the issue and the arguments were
then and compare them with the con
ditions which exist today.; In 1800 the
Democratic party affirmed that the an
nual Increase In the production of gold
was not sufficient to meet the Increas
ing demands, for gold and that there
fore the value of It was constantly en
hancing. We contended, further, that
as the value of gold enhanced the price
of all commodities measured in gold
necessarily decreased and affirmed
that this was an Injury to the country.
Our friends on the other side declared
first that the low prices which then
prevailed bore no relation to the sup
ply of money, and then affirmed that an
elevation of prices produced by an in
crease in the volume of money would
seriously injure the country. Three
years have elapsed since then, and,
while they have materially changed
conditions, they have not affected the
validity of our argument or yours. In
deed these three years have afforded
the people an opportunity to judge be
tween your wisdom and ours.
"In 1805. the year before we made
the arguments which you are now as
sailing with such vehemence and such
a show of confidence, the world pro
duced In gold and silver $307,000,000,
and we declared that the whole amount
was needed to meet the world's In
creasing need for money and to satisfy
the Industrial demands against those
two metals. You said that was not
true and contended that the supply of
gold- alone was ample. But throughout
this debate and without an. exception
on that side we find you now rejoicing
in the enormously increased production
of gold. Answer me upon your can
dor, gentlemen of the Republican par
ty, if the $170,000,000 worth of gold
which the world was producing in 1803
was sufficient to meet, the world's
Increased demands for gold, why It is
that you are rejoicing now because the
production of gold has almost doubled?
Do not these good times, which you as
cribe In large; part to the enormously
Increased production of gold, instead
of refuting our argument confirm it?
We demanded that the mints of our
country should be opened to the free
and unlimited coinage 'of both gold
and silver, to absorb, if necessary, the
world's entire annual supply of $307.
jOOO.000. Today the accidents of min
ing have produced, almost as much gold
as the worid was then producing of
both gold and silver, and yet not one
of you will dare to tell the people of
this country that the $300,000,000 of
gold which the world produces Is more
than the world requires. If over $300,
000.000 of gold is not more than the
world needs how, how will you answer
our argument made in 130G that the
$307,000,000 of gold and silver com
bined was not more than the wortd re
quired ?
Benefit of Free Coinage.
"Gentlemen on the other side have
spoken as If our position requires us to
deny the effect of the great and sudden
increase in the production of gold, bu
nothing could be further from the
truth. Indeed the reverse of this is
true. We do not deny that the Increas
ed production of gold has mitigated the
distressing tendency toward falling
prices. We go further even than that,
and we assert that It has resulted In a
slight elevation of prices. This does
not conflict with anything that we have
ever said; but. on the contrary. It es
tablishes our contention both as to the
cause of falling prices and as to the
effect of rising prices. If attributed to
j the discovery of gold, the present rise
of prices proves that we were right in
connecting the low price of commodi
ties with the Insufficient supply of
money. And the prosperity which has
followed this advance In prices proves
that wp were also right when we de
clared that low prices make hard times
and that good' prices would make good
times. Whp we said would happen if
our mints were opened to the free anJ
unlimited coinage of both gold and sil
ver you say has happened under the
free and unlimited coinage of gold
alone, but you cannot conceal the Im
portant .fact that the production of
gold alone Is now as great as the pro
duction of both gold and silver then. I
seems to me that the very results which
you so exultingly ascribe to the discov
ery of these new and richer mines prove
conclusively hat we were right In 1S9G
when we asserted that the world need
ed more basic money
Fn-ori Old Ratio.
Mr. Dalzell Will the gentleman al
low me to Interrupt him?
Mr. Bailey Certainly.
Mr. Dalzell Does the gentleman hold
that the Increase In the production of
gold of which he speaks has dispensed
with the necessity for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1?
Mr. Bailey I do not.
Mr. Dalzell The gentleman still
thinks that sliver ought to be coined
at the mints at the ratio of 16 to 1?
-I do." sail Mr. Bailey. "I will say
this to the gentleman from Pennsylva
nia: If the world could not only con
tinue, but could increase the produc
tion of gold until it was equal to the
sum of $400,000,000 or $500,000,000 a
year, then you would dispose of our
demand for the free coinage of silver
by supplying sufficient gold for basic
money.- Our position on this question
has been not the reshlt of any preju
dice against gold or any preference for
silver. We do not love silver because
It Is white nor do we hate gold be
cause it Is yellow. We desire to use
both, because we, believe that, both are
necessary to constitute a sufficient ur
plj of real money. Give us that sup
ply of geld, and you dispense with the
necessity for the free coinage of silver,
but that simply fulfills our arguments,
and it does not refute them.
'I warn the gentleman from Penn
sylvania, however, that he la about to
Incorporate la the records of this honse
the same false prophecies that were
made in the years which have passed
and gone. When gold was discovered
in Australia and California, the world
was advised that only one of the pre
cious metals ought to be used for mon
ey, and. true to their Instincts In favor
of scarce ..money, , and therefore what
President McKlnley has called 'high
money they sought to demonetize the
more plentiful and therefore the cheap
er metal. When the commissioner of
the United States to the Paris confer
ence, Mr. Ruggles, urged the demoneti
sation of silver, he predicted that the
United States alone, bef o're the close
of this century, would be producing
$500,000,000 of gold and silver. It has
so happened In the history of ihe world
that every time some new and rich
gold or silver field has been discovered
straightway the advocates of scarce
and high money rise up to prophesy
that the production will go on forever.
When I heard the distinguished gentle
man from Ohio read from the great
French economist. Chevalier. I was
tempted to ask him If that authot- did
not predict, following the "discovery of
gold In California and Australia, that
those mines would produce so abun
dantly and continue so long that they
would deluge the world with cheap
money." , . '.; . , v .
After discussing the bill most logic
ally ' and thoroughly be closed with
this eloquent peroration;
"If you imagine that this season of
prosperity, which, is due to causes
wholly apart from politics, will destroy
the Democratic party, you deceive
yourselves. It has outlived panics un
der its owu administration. It has out
lived prosperous eras wheu its enemies,
administered the government. It has
outlived the rage and fury of a civil
war. It has passed through the cruel
days of reconstruction, and It will sur
vive the taunts and jeers with which
you now assail it. I am still a young
man, yet I have seen it solemnly pro
posed to disband the Democratic par
ty. In 1872 the Democrats of my na
tive state, as loyal and. as -devoted ns
ever cherished the immortal. principles
of Thomas Jefferson, had reached the
point where they were ready to despair
and yield, and a convention was called
In Mississippi to consider the advisa
bility of disorganizing the Democratic
party. But even in that trying hour
there was - a small though devoted
band, in whose hearts the divine fire
of the old Democracy was still' burn
ing, to protest with a tongue of flame
and a voice of prophecy against the
abandonment of our time honored and
undying organization. Their wisdom
prevailed. That convention adjourn
ed, and instead of sending abroad the
gospel of despair they sent a message
of hope and courage that still animates
the splendii men of that great com
monwealth." ... ... A Tnit Boater. ' .
Divers and sundry statesmen are
hot foot after the trust octopus. Hu-
man .ingenuity is being exhausted in
this titanic struggle because self pres
ervation is the first law of nature. To
Hon. John Wesley Gaines of The Her
mitage district of Tennessee beiongs
the honor of a brand new idea on the
subject. I am not certain but what
John Wesley has hit the bullscye. If
he has. vast and enduring will be his
fame. His plan is drastic enough
heaven knows! If he can get it passed!
and If the courts do not declare it un
constitutional, it will cause a rattling
of dry boues among the trusts, from
the sugar trust down to the peanut
trust. It is the same plan that killed
the Louisiana lottery deader than, a
smelt exclnsion from the mails!
As the supreme court of the United
States has solemnly decided that con
gress has absolute power in that re
gard. Brother Gaines would appear to
be In town with his pocket full of rocks
unless, when brought face to face With
the question, that august tribunal
should face about and upset the deci
sions of a cvutury, as It did in the in
come tax case. - So that Mr. Gaines, has
two dangers to escape before he con
quers the trusts first, congress may
refuse to pass his bill; and, second, the
supreme . court may take it Into its
venerable head that after all. the pow
er of congress to say what Is mailable
and what is not mailable should be
curtailed. Nevertheless Mr. Gaines'
proposition will make difficult sailing
for the gentlemen who want the votes
of the hoi pollol and at the same time
desire favors from the trusts. Honest
men will wish Mr. Gaines well.
Hoar and Deverfdse.
Young Senator Beveridge of Indiana
on Tuesday delivered himself of the
speech which he has been incubating
lor months. Senator Hoar didn't do a
thing to him. Oh, no! In about 40
minutes he utterly demolished Bever
Idge's "glass house." ne hurled dor
niclts through it till the holes were nu
merous as the sands upon the seashore
or the stars of heaven and then, to
show his supreme contempt for the
Hoosier's eloquence, announced at the
close that he wasn't making a speech
then, but would do so at a later date.
Senator Beveridge's speech, elaborate
in scope, polished in language, may be
all summed up In one. sentence. "The
Filipinos have a marvelously rich coun
try, and we must take it by the eagle's
claw and the lion's paw." The al
mighty dollar Is the be all and end all.
Justice to the Filipinos and the preser
vation of the American republic are
not worthy of consideration.
