WASHINGTON, Apr. IL, Is

WASHINGTON, apr. IL, 1919.
Unless L am greatly mistaken in
my estimate OF public sentiment as
ref acted by visitors here from all sec.
lions Of the country, the formal an
nouncement by the Dem ocratic ma
jority OF both Houses of Congress or
its submission to aud alliance with
the little handful OF Greenbackers In
matters financial, will not strengthen
that party with tho masses OF intelli-
gent voters. The financial resolution
adopted at the Democratic caucus OF
Wednesday evening is interpreted
here as a notification that the fnan-
cial tinker Is to have the shackles
heretofore imposed, stricken off, and
that his genius IL to be allowed full
scope in shaping our money legisla-
ton to the end Of the session; that all
the disquieting questions which were
thought to have been 80 happily SET
tied by resumption, are to be re-
opened by one fell swoop. An un-
biased comparison OF the present
prosperity OF any OF the great indus
tries OF the country with their status
at any time within the three years
Immediately preceding resumption,
will probably show them In most cases
TO have been perceptioly benefited
by the formal commitment OF the
government in favor OF a stable cur
rency and a monetay system by
which values can be calculated with
some degree OF certainty. This being
granted, there seems no good reason
In the view OF the average business
man why We should go back to the
old days OF uncertainty, bankruptcy.

men in Congress shall have an oppor.
tunityto make good the promises that
ars much better broken than kept.
The feeling Is that we are making
reasonable progress back to our old
prosperity on better foundation
than We have had since the outbreak
OF the war forced the government
from its moorings out on TO the sea OF
initiation which has neither bottom
nor shore. Nevertheless, a certain
element Of Congressman, Republican
and Democratic. seem disposed to
strike hands with the few Green back
ers who appear uncertain la what di-
reetion to look for fame, IL they are
not permitted to carry out the pro-
gramme they announced to their con
stituents before election. 1t seems q
great pity to all concerned that these
men can't see the opportunity lying
all about them In other directions,
by improving which they could make

The Republicans in Congress are
fighting for free ballot, for the right
OF each man to vote once Oh each
election day for the man or the party
Of his choice. The Democracy in OPP
posing this are iBfiicting far greater
injury on those thOy seek to benefit
than en- the prescribed Republicans
OF the South. The shot gun, the
rifle. AID the black snake whip have
already cost the South millions in
undeveloped resources, and wealth,
which policy that would have en-
couraged emigration would have
brought them. A persistence in this
insane course reminds US OF the days
when they reb-lled against the gov
eminent, thinking that they could
thus make slavery more secure.
Those men will be convinced some
time that there is power that con
trolls nations and Furnishes those who
seek to deprive the poor OF their lib
critics. Just wien the friends oi
freedom had given up in despair. and
there was not man in America that
believed the youngest child woClo

bellion began and slavery was
abolished. To-day the South.

rather than seek to resurrect the
skeleton of initiation. The resolution
in question demanded the substitu.
ton Of greenbacks for national bank
circulation and the issue Of bullion
certificates; and Is said that among
an svalan che of financial bills prepared
and waiting for the occurrence OF "bill
day" Q4'h inst. the demand for un-
limited coinage is one OF their most
constant features. The Democratic
Greenback defeat in Ohio and Michi-
gan, in the April elections, seem to
have m lde some OF the farthest sight
ed OF the former. rather shy of CO.
alition with the latter. But the great
majority seem very like Barkus. in
return for the aid OF tho Greenbckers
In matters political. As the latter are
called on to give very little for a
great deal, it cannot be supposed they
would long hesitate over the items
offered them. But l fancy some Of
them who were elected as and by
Greenback r ,publicans, as in the
case OF the Iowa members, will hear
