THE SILVER PARTY.

By what is taking place concerning
the subjects of silver and finance gen
orally can be seen what will ere long
produce union of all the friends OF
bimetallic money and others wanting
fuller provision made for currency
than is now existing. The operation
of building party of politics of such
portion of the people is fast culmi-
mating and when it is perfected the
party will be so large it can elect the
next president and probably a ma
jorlty of the lower branch of congress.
We have no purpose whatever to dis
cuss political subjects or to fill the
columns of the paper with such dis
cussions, but the fact that such
party is coming into power is appar-
emit to all who have interest in the
present position of finances, and it
concerns the money of the country
more than and other interest of the
people. We have few friends in the
silver party at this period, for its
members are suspicious of a paper
published in this city, no matter what
its position on the question of silver
may be. We are not seeking favor
or friendship from such class of
people, nor do we want any place IN
politics for the paper. All we wish
to offer on the question of party is the
mere fact that by the opposition by
banks and great class of the people
to the full use of silver in the money
of the country, they are provoking a
great purpose on the part of those
they oppose to struggle for a control
of the government, and in our opin-
ion the new party will thrive greatly
by the present contest by which its
members are more affected than any
other class, save banks and capitalists
having plenty in their possession.
The number of the silver people is
four-ffths of the population of the
country, and they can, if they will,
make a clean sweep of two-thirds of
the states, and it is probable they
will do this in the campaign for presi-
dent and members Of congress. Be
fore the session of congress is ad-
journed this party will find its full
strength, and after it is seen il can
make its own place for silver and in
all other financial matters it will be
able to dictate its terms and will do
so.
The past congress, though possess
ing majority of silver men, failed
to pass free coinage bill, or to dc
any act itself concerning the money
of the country, for the reason that
many of the party were afraid they
would make mistakes and produce
more trouble for themselves in the
future. By the further discussion al
the question before the people they
have become more informed, anC
the present financial troubles will fa'
more convince them that only by
their own power can they correct
what they believe to be wrong in
national finances. They are nov
arousing formidable party which i
to grow to its full extent and have
thousands of members in those olde
states of the country. 1t will form

platform and in every way prepar'
for the conflict with the whole op
position on the question of money
and when they are through with thu
contest the party will be in the as
cendant and give the country it
further Legislation upon the subjec
of silver for many years.-New Yorl
