WHAT THE SHERMAN LAW
HAS DONE.

According to q statement just pre-
pared by the Treasurer, as already
announced in our Washington dis
patches, the silver bought by the
government under the Sherman law
is worth fifty five million dollars less
than was paid forit. mother words,
the government has lost that enor-
NOUS sum through its useless pur
chase.
That great loss was enough to
damn the Sherman law, but it IS in
significant compared with the wide
spread disaster brought upon finan-
cial and commercial interests Of the
country.
As the Herald has shown by ac-
tual figures the shrinkage Of values
on the New York Stock Exchange
alone last year was seven hundred
million dollars. and the depreciation
in the value Of wheat and corn two
hundred and fifty millions, while the
contraction of credits in all branches
Of finance, trade and industry has
been simply incalculable.
Nolegislation ever passed by Con-
gress has proved SO ruinous to the
business interests of the country as
the ststute compelling the useless
purchase and storage Of silver. No
law ever called for more prompt and
unconditional repeal.-New York
Herald.

THE TRUTH LEAKING OUT.

The business failures and the
distress caused by the Sherman
silver act have made men talk plain
~ regarding that measure and the
fact has come to light that politics
and not the interest of the country
prompted Senator Sherman Of Ohio
and other prominent Republican
statesmen 70 support it and pass it
during the session Of Congress in
1890.
The other day Congressman
Walker, Of Massachusetts,, who was
. member Of the conference COM
mittee and . stalwart Republican,
said Of the act: ut was . make
shift to keep within the Republican
line, politically, the far Western
States" and commenting on this
fact the Chicago Herald says:
Just here Is to be found the true
motive Of the Sherman act. The
Republican leaders. who then con-
trolled both houses of Congress
and both political branches Of the
government, were afraid to offend
the silver states. They were afraid
to take upon their party the respon-
sibility for defeating free coinage
Of silver by compelling the Presi-
dent TO veto . free coinage bill.
And the President himself was
most unwilling to have . free coin
age bill sent to him to be vetoed,
because he wanted to succeed him.
self and was afraid Of alternating
the silver States.
There was . great deal more
Of practical politics" than Of far
sighted Craftsmanship in the Sher-
man act There is . distinct his
torical gain when the authors Of
that measure admit that they knew
it to be . bad one. There would
be . greater gain. both historical
and political, Il they would throw
up their hands and frankly admit
that they were simply playing for
party advantage with very little
regard for the public welfare when
they devised and carried through
. measure which has brought the
country to the verge Of = most dis
astrous crisis.
The Republicans were fully aware
early Is 1890 that their force bill
policy and the Mckinley bill had
aroused the indignation Of the Amer
lean people, and for this reason the
election Of 1892 would be . Waterloo
for them or 90 close that they could
not afford to lose . single State
which they had carried IN 1888,
to prevent . free COIN
age blu reaching President Harri-
son, which would have placed him
in . dilemma, because his chances
Of reelection would have gone
glimmering had he signed or vetoed
it, they threw q sop to the silverites
by passing the Sherman silver pur-
chasing bill, and thus let their
President out OF the hole.
It il gratifying At this late day,
however, to hear . Republican
leader in Congress relate the real
purpose Of the passage Of the act
which has almost wrought the finan-
cial ruin Of the country. It will
compel the organs Of the Repub-
lican party which have been rather
loud in charging the financial
stringency to uncertainty Of tariff
