Ye editor had a little street corner argument this week with some pop ulist friends and this is whut they told us: ••It will take more of our nation 'a products to pny oft the national debt of to-day than it would at the close of the war." Men who will advance such state ments must ceituudy lie reckoning from a free trade and free silver stand point, if so we frankly ad mit the truth of their statement, ns the past four years of free trade has not only robbed the national treas ury of the $2:15,000,000 left there when Harrison stepped out, tint it has been necessary to issue $gd‘J,UOO,OOt> more bonds to run the government. Hut if they mean that such will be the ease under u protective and sound money policy we take except tiou tosui h uu (iscertion. Such state ments will not bear the light, but even if il did, is it not a fact that this nation is today producing at least twenty times us mush us she wus then?. But let us see: At the close of the war the nation al debt was $2,000,000,OCU. At the close of Harrison's administra tion the national debt was re duced to $H40,000,000. Thus nearly two billion had been wiped out Now with the Cleveland adminis tration under his free trade policy we are compelled to add $202,000,000 bond issue which makes the nation al debt ot to-day $1,100,000,000 as against 2,(500,000,000 at the close of the war. In other words the na tional debt of to day is $500,000,000 less than half what it was at the close ot l he war. In the four years of Harrison's administration lie paid oil' nearly $:i00,()00,00o i hereby saving $11,000,000 annual interest. At this rate it, would tukc less than 4 terms or about 14 years of Harrison policy to wipe out the entire debt, and still leave the $225,000,000 in the treas ury, which was there when Cleveland look Ids seal. They say too: •■That the foreign uatious whose capital this country has borrowed rules us with a rod of iron.” What nonsense. In the face of the above facts and figures, where it is shown that we have been able to wipe out live hundred million more thau half the original national ttebt, to say nothing of the hundreds of millions of dollors of interest that lias also beeu paid, these politicians have the gall to tell us, that with twenty times the resources we had at the lime the debt was contracted, we are not aide to handle the comparitivuly small remaining bal ance. Suoh argument is only cheap talk and serves to show how desper ul>.l I li u pi I iiis I ha I* pna ail vupiton era for catnpaiglt mumunitiou (live us back the McKinley tariff, The lllaine reciprocity act, and a few in ore administration* e<|iiai to t tin I of ex president Harrison and in a few years they will become thoroughly convinced that they have been ' talking through their hat.'* Most of the free sliver republi v sits sai they me tu favor of protwn lion and flee coinage of stiver, tint how they are going to get Imth the good i.ord only knows, ami eonae • pn-utly they are tn something of a dilemma They kuow that they can not expect knth from either the dent octal* of p doll 1st*. and It wiotld seem to us that the thing to do ta to don a '!

Tom File'll, one of the most noted free silver advocates In the territory, was called upon to speak, and responded In a k IRC ('ll which for simple eloquence and beauty of diction deserves preservation Ills reasons why he should remain In the Republican par ty are utianserablc and -hould he read by all rcpullcans. The reading will In no wav dwarf tliclr enthusiasm for the grand old party The full text of Mr. Fitch s speech Isas follows. Qeutlemen of the convention I thought that seclusion that the upper gallery grants, combined with our circumstances, would ex empt me from any Invitation to speak before this convention, but your repealed calls leave me no alternative couslstaat with courtesy but to answer them. The speakers who have addressed you have spoken of the free coinage of silver as a card inal principle of ibe Republican party. I tear that the Nt. Louis convention may compel us to retrace some of our steps In this matter, and. us the statesmen who control this conven tion have not Included mu among those deemed most lit to represent Arizona ut St. Louis 1 feel quite at liberty to tell the truth. • I suppose no qne will question my long de votion to tlio cause of free silver coinage. Years ugo. ut the meeptlori of the movement, 1. as vice president of the national executive committee ol the silver convention. In connect ion with A. J Warner, the president of the committee traveled through the South and west preaching the doctrine of bimetallsm. and I have never since had occasion to change my views with respect to the great benefits that might result to this Nation from the complete restoration of silver as a money metal, and yet there are other circumstances quite as influential which must be potent In determin ing my future action, and the future action of many Republicans in this matter. This morning u friend, whe Is a member of this convention, and who now honors me with bis audience, said to me: Mr. Fitch, you have always been a pronounced advocate, of the free coinage of sllter, wliut will you uu n me Si Louis convention adopts a plank In Its plat form favoring a single gold standard and dcuounglng the free coinage of sllverr I did not answer this question then, but with your permitlon I will do so now. "1 belong to the Republican parly because Its history is the history of the growth, the greatness, and the freedom of this Nutlou; be cause its purposes are patriotic; because It is the friend of labor without being tbe foe of thrift, because It Is wise, because It Is just, because its restoration to complete power will rekindle the furnace and start thu tur bines, and (111 the land with the uiuslc of con ted and well-paid toll, and put bread Into men's mouths, and hope Into their hearts.
