THERE are many who believe that the
Sherman act is the cause of all our
woes. They are demanding its uncOn-
ditional repeal. There are others, chiefly
among the quondam POpulists, who
aver that the Sherman act must not be
repealed until we get free and unlimi-
ted coinage of silver.-Somerville Re-
porter and Falcon. (Dem.
And it might be properly added to
the above that what ever the silver
question may have to do with the
financial trouble is attributable to
the fact that the great majority of
the Democratic members of the pres
ent Congress were elected by prom
Using to vote for a bill ten times
more dangerous than the part Of the
present act that Cleveland wants re-
pealed.

For the Herald and Tribune
A Forecast.

On Tuesday l met Judge Hacker in
johnson City, and after discussing the
present and probable conditions Of the
weather, he remarked, II would like
for you to diagnose the financial condi-
ton of the country" To which re-
piled, that l could do that, and that
my forecast might prove to be errone-
GUS; but, there was a strong probable
ity of it's truth. l repeat it as l gave it
to him. If it be true as reported that
Senator David B. Hill, Clevelandls bit
ter Democratic enemy, has prepared
and will enforce by a speech before
the Senate u free coinage bill on the
ratio of not more than 10 of silver to 1
of gold, lit is said that his ratio is 15l of
silver to l of gold), it a that he is
likely to have a following which will
so largely divide the Democratic mem
bers as to defeat the Cleveland faction
unless the great body of the Republic
can members act and vote compactly
with them. If, however, Cleveland in
his messageadvocates his pet scheme Of
tariff reform" or, rather might say,
fails to recommend non action on the
subject of the tariff, it is highly proba-
BILE that not less than three fourths
of the Republican members Of the
Senate and House will stand aloOf and
leave the Democrats to fight at will.
Why is this likely to be SO? Simply for
the reason that Republicans know, and
Democrats ought to know, that the
silver question is a very small factor
in causing the financial trouble IL the
country. The large factor, the great
body of the cause is, the confident be.
lief that what Benton McMillin says
will prove true: that Congicss will re-
deem, by legislation, a ! the pledges of
the Chicago Democratic Platform-the
the leading features Of which are q
tariff for revenue only, and a repeal
of the 10 precent tax on State bank cir
culation. All sensible business men
know that these two features would
work an u%pheaving revolution in the
country, the simple fear of which,
prompts manufacturers, dealers, ard
money holders to provide for
safety in advance Of the comeing of
such a threatened storm. Hence |
say, it is not probable that the body of
Republican members will aid the
Cleveland faction to cure one of the
smaller ills, if they have reason to be-
lieve that, afterward, the Cleveland
and Hill forces will unite in hurting
upon the country the double headed
tornado storm of Free Trade" and
Wild cat paper circulation. l write
this before seeing the Presidents mes
sage, risking the prediction, however
that the Democrats will celebrate theiI
accession to power by fighting each
other like political devils; and, tina
the only probable good to the country
will appear when the contending fac
tons leave the field to be occupied by
a better party and better men.

MESSAGE.

We give our readers this week on
the first page President Cleveland's
message to Congress. We ask our
patrons to read it carefully, and then
read the following message by his
last Democratic predecessor, James
Buchanan sent to Congress during
the panic Of 1857. 1t seems from a
comparison of these two documents
that history is repeating itself:
December, 1857, President Buchanan
said
I'm teh midst of unsurpassed plenty
we find our manufactures suspended,
u public works retarded, private
enterprises abandoned and thousands
of useful laborers thrown out of en-
ployment and reduced to want. Under
the circumstances a loan may be re-
quired before the close of your present
session, but this although deeply to be
regretted, would prove it to be only a
slight misfortune when compared with
the suffering and distress prevailing
among u people.
n
1t is one of the highest and most re-
spOnsible duties of Government to ISSUE
to the people a sound currency, the
amount of which ought to be adapted
with the utmost wisdom and skill to
the wants of internal trade and foreign
exchanges. Unfortunately, under the
construction of the Federal constitu-
ton, this important and delicate duty
has been transferred to more than l,40O
State banks acting Independently of
each other, and regulating their paper
issues almost exclusively by a regard
to the present interests of their stock
holders.
Our financial system has prevented
us from competing in our own markets
with foreign manufacturers, has pro-
duced extravagant importations, and
has c~ounteracted the effect of the large
incidental protection afforded to our
domestic manufactures by the present
revenue tariff. But for this the bran
ches of our manufactures composed
of raw materials, the production Of
our country, such as cotton, iron and
WOODEN fabrics, would not only have
acquired almost exclusive possession
of the home market, but would have
created for themselves a foreign mar
ket throughout the world"

Nashville Banner The disposition
upon the part of free silver coinage
Democrats to question the Democracy
of President Cleveland, and to charge
him with unfaithfulness to the party
pledges, is based IN prejudice and
does the President great injustice. The
truth is Mr.. Cleveland's strong and
unequivocal stand for sound money
made his nomination and election by
the Democracy possible. If he had not
clearly pronounced the views he still
holds on the money question he could
not have been elected President. AS a
candidate holding sound money views
he was endorsed by the Democratic
Convention and elected by the people.
Says the Memphis Scimitar
Don't be uneasy, gentlemen. Grover
is all right. We know when we nomi-
mated him that he was opposed to the
free coinage of silver. If he had not
been he would not have been elected. II
we had a silver platform we had q

cessful combination, we should moi

and the candidate fit each other very
well. The Democratic party will dc
all it can to use silver to its utmost ex'
tent, but there was never any obliga.
ton to wreck the business of the conn

who want nothing but gold for them.
