THE Chicago Herald. besides being lead
inc paper in the metropolis of the West, is one
of the brightest and staunchest Democratic
papers in the United States, and its utterances
on the great issues of the day are always forci-
BILE and logical. 1t deplores the rashness of
the free silver advocates in Congress, and
earnestly implores them to pause and consider
before they commit political suicide by rush
ING through free silver bill. thereby fasten-
ing such policy upon their party. On thi:
subject 1t we'll says
The political consequences of all this are
not agreeable 10 contemplate. Mr.. Williams
of Massachusetts. pointed them out with
great plainness of speech. The people of the
North said he can stand unjust taxation
but they are not yet ready 10 90 into bank
ruptcy and pay seventy cents on the dollar
- = 1t Is evidently the opinion of the ma.
iority Of the House that 1t was more important
10 re-elect a few Southern and Weatern Demo
-. Il 4 -. l.
saying this Mr.. Williams did not say or imply
more than the truth. When the Democrats
of the House pass the Bland bill they will
commit their party, so far as ii lies in then
power to commit 1t. TO the policy of paying
seventy cents on the dollar 10 all pensioners
10 the working people who have 81 COO 900 O0(
deposited in savings banks, to the benef-
Charles of oil life insurance policies TO all who
receive annultles of fixed sums and 10 all men
who work for wages
mo party committed TO such policy car
select President OF the United States The
only salvation for the Democratic party is tc
be found In the reputation of the Demo
cratic House by the Democratic convention
repudlation not merely by form of words III
the platform. but by the nomination of men
for whom pensioners, wOrkingmen aud the
thousands who have savings IN bank can fee
II safe to vote.
That is a witty trick of the anti silver mer
to tack on 10 the silver bill proviso that pen
sions to soldiers. deposits in savings banks
and laborers wages shall be paid in gold il
demanded. We can see no possible objection,
to the scheme from the silver men. If. a.
they claim. making coinage of free silver will
still keep the silver dollar as good as the colo
dollar. none of the parties intended TO bs
benefited will call for GOLD If silver is to be-
come so deprecated that the laborers' dollar
will buy only seventy cents worth of fooc
and clothes. then the laborer ought to hav,
the right to demand gold dollar for hi.
