To Bryan's Charge About the Alleged
Crime of '73.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 23.—A local paper publishes a signed article from Senator John Sherman dated Mansfield, O.,
in which he replies to Mr. Bryan and others who refer to the crime of '73. Senator Sherman says that many
pages of the Congressional Record
show indisputable proofs that the clause
in the act of 1873 stopping the coinage of the silver dollars was not surreptitiously and clandestinely passed through Congress. The senator reviews this history of that legislation, showing that
there was an unusually long agitation
not only in both branches of Congress
but also in the committees of both
houses, and also in the treasury department, before the bill was prepared.
