Mr. McEwen. in which he took occasion to illustrate the dilapidation of the silver causeI mean the cause of 16 to 1by referring to the experience of our friends on the Pacific Coast with the Chinese question. He said there came a time in the history of that controversy when there was hardly a man or a woman left in California who did not prefer the burden and danger of Chinese immigration to any further conversation on the subject. And so. according to this writer. the time has come when the people are ready to welcome all the alleged horrors of the gold standard if the noise of 16 to 1 can at last be silenced in the politics of the United States. My friend from Missouri . to whose speeches on the silver question. delivered in this House twenty years ago. not a single idea has been added in the space of nearly one generation. came upon this floor a few moments ago and declared that this resolution was opposed only by bankers and the money power of the United States. and his colleague from Ohio. who has just taken his seat. said it was the syndicates and the organized conspiracies of money that were behind the efforts to defeat this resolution.
