Mr.. Cleveland is thus complimented
in August for the position he was de-
nounced for in February before the
Ohio demagogue had fallen upon the
point he is now trying to turn to the
advantage of his party.
There is every evidence that the re.
publican leaders are trying to straddle
the currency issue as best they can,
pending more certain knowledge OF
how the popular wind is blowing. The
late equivocal republican silver plank
in Pennsylvania is a striking case in
point. and all Of Mr.. Harrison's recent
speeches when examined carefully are
found to be attempts at hedging and
dodging until the condition of the pop.

tanned.

THE PARTY OF FREE COINAGE.
An Annoying Plank in the Last Repub-
lican National Platform.

An Annoying Plank in the Last Repub-
lican National Platform.
The Republican organs are constant
ly kept busy on the defensive toying to
evade the recorded fact that when it
suited its purpose the republican party
was the silver party, holding up to de-
nunciation the democracy as the enemy
of silver coinage.
But evidence which can neither be
erased nor explained away is embodied
in the explicit plank in its last national
platform, which declares:
The republican party is in favor OF the use OF
both gold and silver IS money. and conafmnS
The policy of III d.morr;t'ic admin strGhon IN Us
efforts 10 d moneti-e stcer.
In spite of this declaration, however,
it was the republican party that posed
in congress Us the party to demonetize
silver. Silver is demonetized in prac-
tice when it is not received at the
mints to be coined for and in behalf of
any citizen presenting it for that pur-
pose. Now the party which demone-
tized silver has legislated for virtual
free coinage and is found denouncing
the democracy as advocating what it
formerly denounced them for opposing.
No better example of this ridiculous
inconsistency is to be found than in the
attitude of Mckinley only a few
months ago and at present, as seen in
the two following extracts from his

Two ocean steamers have been com

eclipse in speed any Of the Atlantic racers
already On the sea. Tho immense new
Cunarders will carry 2 1000 tons Of freight

will be guaranteed to make twenty-one
miles an hour in the open sea. That
speed would be 504 miles in day. At
500 miles u day the Cunarder would cross

hours. Meantime that lively Scotch

The CHILEAN AFFAIR.

Oct. 16 a number of American seamen
of the man-of-war Baltimore were at
tackled by a Gillian mob in the streets
of Valparaiso. One American, the Bal
timore's boatswain, was killed, another
died of his wounds and five altogether
were injured. Bayonet wounds on the
soldiers bodies showed that the Valpa-
raise police had helped the mob rather
than those attacked. Oct. 2S, one week
later, President Harrison sent dispatch
TO Minister Egan in Chill, bidding him
lay the matter before the Gillian gov
eminent, also asking whether there was
any justification for the act of the mob.e
and why the guilty parties were not
brought to justice. The officers Of the
Baltimore believe the attack was made on
account of hostility on the part of Chill
ians to Americans because of the belief
that the United States sympathized with
Balmaceda in the late revolution in
Chill, also because the representatives of
our government protected political refu-
gees at the close of that revolution.
Thereupon English papers, ever ready
to criticise in an unfriendly way the
United States, began to comment harsh
ly on this governments haste in de-
handing explanations of the fight in
Valparaiso, and bringing up our non
action in case of ltaly's demand for salts
faction after the New Orleans riot. The
fact that the English have large interests
in Chill is also to be remembered. In
connection with this criticism 1t maybe
remarked that the British government
itself made a precedent for the United
States TO follow in the case where salts
faction was demanded of Brazil In 1858
Three drunken British naval officers in
citizens dress were arrested by the POI
lice for street disturbances in one Of the
Brazilian towns. Satisfaction for this
outrage" and also for a money claim Of
over 10000 claim brought against
Brazil by the British bark Prince of
Wales-was demanded. When the de-
mand was not at once complied with,
British man-of-war Immediately seized
and. held five Brazilian sailing vessels
and one steamer.
