CLEVELAND AND THE SHERMAN
Silver LAW.

MI. CleveiandIs Democratic friends in
both the house and senate have tried very
hard to repeal the Sherman silver pur.
chase act of 1880. and they have failed in
both senate and house, and tho new ad-
ministrAtion and the new house are loaded
with the responsibility of solving tho diff
culties and dangers of the present financial
situation. There is no doubt that Mr..
Cleveland and his Democratic supporters,
Senators Carlisle. Mcpherson, Hill, Brice.
Villas, German and Gray. are sound today
in their view that the suspension of silver
purchases by our government ought to be
speedily enacted, and yet Mr.. Cleveiand's
political managers in the presidential
struggle did not hesitate to join hands
with the Populists, whose first principle
Is the free, unlimited coinage Of silver
and hostility to any restriction. These
Populists declare that they will only con-
sent to repeal the Sherman law upon tho
condition that free coinage should take it,

age" Populists. hauled down their own
flag and carried the Populist banner. The
Democracy In Kansas and Nebraska
recently joined hands to elect free silver
United States senator. and yet the Cleve-
land clan, as soon Is their standard bearer
was elected. began to urge the Republicans
Of the Fifty-second congress to repeal the
Sherman law. and save the Democratic
party from the consequences of their own
mis- thn T~.S 81
party.
No,wonder q number of Republicans in
the house refused to help the Cleveland
Democracy repeal the Sherman act; they
said the Democratic party is chiefly re-
sponsibls for all the pernicious silver legis-
lation that has cursed the country since
1873; the Sherman bill was not pet Re-
publican measure; it was q compromise
forced upon the Republican senate by the
free coinage Democracy. who threatened
with the aid OF the Republicans from the
silver producing states to pass free COIN
age bill unless the purchases Of silver
were increased. The anti-fres silver
Republican majority in the, senate had
either to accept the Sherman act with its
limited silver purchase as = breakwater or
risk the Eruption OF a tidal wave OF free
silver. On the LIST OF July last ,hrty-one
Democratic United States senators voted
for free silver and but ten against it:
while on the other hand thirty.one Repub-
licans voted against free silver to fourteen
for it. The Democrats voted more than
three to one for free silver; the Repub-
licans more than two TO one against II.
Mr.. Cleveland is right, but the failure Of
the senate to enact his views is due TO the
fact that the Democratic free silver and
Populist majority refused to vote for the
repeal Of the Sherman Law. The Demo-
Gratis in the house and senate, together
with their Popu!iss allies they have helped

obstacle TO the repeal OF the Sherman law
and to the suspension of silver purchases.
