Reception Of Sherman's Report,
WASHINGTON, December 1.-The great
majority of the Democrats in Congress
are more than pleased at the financial
recommendations made by Secretary
Sherman. senator Sherman hits the
nail rather squarely on the head. Said
he. tonight: The great trouble with
the DcmocatiC party heretofore, or a
faction of il, has been that IN its
financial legislation il has been conf
PEELED 10 attack an existing system.
This always proves unpopular.
Now, Secretary Sherman-and / un-
derstand also the PreSident-sees
fit 10 attack the system, and
the policy of the Democracy will be to
let il alone. think we can stand solid
in meeting the financial recommends
tions he Makes Not Il few Western
Republicans, in speaking on the sub
iect, condemn the course of the Secre-
tarv i'm strong terms, and say that he
little understands the feeling of their
section or he never would have been led
into such an crror-0rst, by asking for
authority TO contract the currency 10
the amount OF over S46OO0,0O5, and,
..,..s.,,l 4hn raYNAnl tho
legal tender act, the tendency of
which would not only be 10 de-
preciate the balance OF the legal tender
notes. but TO disturb values OF ali kinds.
The mere suggestion of measures likely
10 produce these changes Is regarded Is
exceedingly unfortunate at this partlcu-
lar iuncture in financial as well as politi-
cal affairs, and is bound to open up an
interminable discussion. Whatever Mr..
Shrrman's Presidential prospects may
have been, the financial recommends
tons of his report will completely eX'
plode them. The hewers of wood and
drawers of water and industries Of al
classes will never support a man who
has so completely surrendered himself
To the Money Power rs Mr.. Sherman
unfortunately has in his report.
A Successful Exhibition.
