banquet, which, no doubt, was intended
to outline Mr.. Cleveland's silver policy.
The disting uished men present were
both democrats and republicans, and the
occasion was marked by an earnestness
far deeper than either feast for the
stomach or mere political jubilee.
The secretary OF the treasury had his
part to perform. His text was furnished
in the following toast to which he re-
sponded.
Commerce demands and the honor of
the country requires that the obligations
of the United States shall be paid in coin
current in any market of the world, and
that question shall be settled for all time
and beyond controversy"
This toast is the ultmatum If the New
York money influences. 1t means that
the men who favor gold standard are
going to have their way or "know the
reason why"
Mr.. Carlisle's speech was on the line
indicated by the t. asst to which he re-
spOnded. Among other things he de-
clared that: "Goldi is the only interna-
tional money, and all trade balances are
settled in gold, or, which is the same
thing, on a good basis, all other forms of
currency being adjusted to that standard.
1t is useless for the advocates of differ
ent system to insist that this ought not
to be so; it is so, and we cannot change
the fact
That he considers the governments
policy already settled is indicated by the
following:
"The question whether the obligations
Of the United States will be paid in coin
current in all the markets in the world
has Already been settled, and it has, IN
my opinion, been settled for all time to
come"
That no more silver will be bought or
coined for five years is shown by the fol-
10 wing: 'It is enough to say at present
that we have already on hand stock of
silver, coined and uncoined, sufficient to
meet all the probable requirements of
the untry for many years to come"
There need be no other doubt as to
where he intends to carry the democratic
party. ''No more silver for many years
to come" will carry us beyond the cleo
ton of 1896, and thus the silver issue
will necessarily have place in that cam
paign.
1t is unquestionably true, says the At
lanta Herald, that the UnitedIStates now
has all the silver she can safely carry on
a parity with her present quantity of
gold, but the people have been accus-
toned to the use of free silver since the
foundation of the government; silver
constitutes part of our natural wealth;
the development of the country demands
an increasing volume of currency; and
the policy outlined by Mr.. Carlisle will
not be endorsed without struggle and
Campaign of education," for which
Wall street may yet intend to furnish
the tobject lesson"
IL is our opinion that if Wall street
wants permanent policy like that out
lined by Mr.. Carlisle, the business revival
promised after the repeal of the Sherman
law had better be made fact, The peo-
pie are not in humor for any more
"object lessons" and if the present gold
standard policy does not produce good
times, there will be political revelation
Mex year and in 1896.
We believe the shrewd leaders of the
republicans intend to slide the democrats
onto gold platform and the third patty
onto a wildcat money platform and to
ADOPT a middle course for themselves,
which they can easily do, not being in
power. They have only to re-affirm their
platform of 1892 in order to claim the
entire silver vote, while the demOc! ats
would be on record as single standard
party.
Unless the country is prosperous in
1894 and in 1885, there will be very hard
fought battles in those years. Ii the
gold cure is iemedy for existing ills,
the sooner the people find it out the bet
ter.
Let Wall street send out some of her
S65, 900, 900 surplus.
THE News must confess that it has
been disappoi ted as to the results that
were expected to folio " the repeal of the
Sherman law. The great business mil
Ienium which was to follow refuses TO
come to time. Trade is stagnant, the
