The POWER OF GOLD. No matter what
opinion the reader may hold upon the vexed
monetary situation, as between gold being con-
tinued the sole standard, or having the bi-
standard of gold and silver, he cannot fail to
observe the extraordinary activity and eoncen-
trated force of the advocates of the gold stand
ard, and, in connection with this, the wonder
full change which has come over the public sen
timent in many communities The paramount
argument of the gold party is that it must be
maintained as the standard on account OF the
obligations We owe the foreign bond holders.
They must be paid in gold at any sacrifice to
ourselves rs a people-nOt because the law
which was made during the war to regulate the
| payment, principal and interest, of the bonds,
so provided, but because a law passed only a
few years ago made the provision. 1t Is moth
| ing to those who maintain this view that the
denOnetization of silver by this last act caused
very material change among our own people,
and compelled them to pay great deal more
than the original and binding contract called
for They cling unvaryingly to the one argu-
ment that our credit as a nation will be ruin
ed in Europe unless We pay gold for the bonds
| purchased with greenbacks at heavy discount.
| 1t is a good thing for a nation to maintain un-
| limited credit among other nations, but it is
| still better to be Just to its own people. In
Jackson's day, when he fought and overcame-
as he always did every foe to his country and
her true glory-the tremendous money power
| behind Nick Biddle's United States Bank, it
was considered dishonorable to be inhue by
British gold," as the democratic war-cry os
that period pointedly described it, and dut- to
our own land was the dominant sentiment and
controlling principle. But all this is now chang
ed. The uppermost thought seems to 3e on be-
half of those who furnish the British gold" to
4 \ 4 \ \ N
go in the payment of interest, while our own
people must not only put up with deprecated
currency of greenbac|.s and silver among them
selves, but pay the discount on these to make
up the premium on the gold to export to meet
this interest IN the gold bearing bonds.

Senator Cmkling up to the country as one OF
those towering intellectual statesmen who do
not condescend to look after the loayes and

to keep his friends and supporters in the New

The thirty-two democratic candidates for
senator In New York at the last election re-
ceived thirty-two Thousand more votes than
their thirty-two republican competitors,
but on account Of the unfair manner of dis
tricting the state about two-thirds of the
republicans were elected. The vote, how
ever, shows the popular feeling there is in
favor of the democracy, and with an honest
districting of the state it would go demo-
cratic all the time.

NEWSPAPER INDEPENDENCE above
subject the Cleveland Herald gives utter
ance to the following sensible views: What
we understand by an independent newspaper
is one that has decided convictions; that
puts principles above party advantage; that
treats its opponents fairly; that gives its
readers chance to see both sides of every
important question; that does not subsist
on the crumbs of OFFICIAL patronage, nor pop
up and down, like a jack ina box, when some
clique Of politicians or some party boss "
pulls the wires; that is manly, honest, de-
cent and OF good repute among good men.
