The Parties on Silver.

The repeal OF the purchase provision
OF the silver act OF 1890 was distinctly n
Democratic administration measure.
If the Republicans in Congress had
been nero partisans they would have
stood aloot, leaving the administration
and its friends to their own devices.
They would have said, You have the
responsibility and you have the power
ii you can WELD it; the Democratic
party can't get together" in response
to the popular demand, so much the
better for our party. This would have
defeated repeal. More than that, it
would have made free coinage posi-
BILE. Declining to seek partisan adyan-
tage in that way, the Republicans in
Congress joined with the administra.
ton forces. because on this question
the administration was right, and to be
right on the financial question is the
historic attitude OF the Republican
party.
What tho Democratic members of
Congress would have done in like
case is only to be inferred. What a
great body of them did in this case is
now on the record. In the face Of the
country's strong appeal, in spite OF the
fact that they were asked to come up
to the support Of the measure OF a
Democratic administration, notwith-
standing the intense pressure put on
by the administration, a round hun
bred Of Democrats voted for the absurd
proposition to establish the free coin
age of silver at the ridiculous ratio OF
sixteen parts of silver to one of gold.
Only thirteen Republicans went that
way.
On the main question, the passage Of
the Wilson bill, more than three times
as many Democrats as Republicans
voted in opposition. Ii it had not been
for the Republican support in and out
OF Congress which assured the passage
or the bill, even more Democratic votes
would have been cast acainstit. The at.
titude of the two parties on this subject
cannot fail to impress the country,
