SENATOR VOORHEES,, of Indiana, is
Chairman Of tie Senate Committee on
finance, and has hitherto been known as
a blatant opponent Of National banks,
an advocate Of free silver coinage, and
fall Of all the other financial vagaries Of
which the West is the prolific mother.
Lately, very lately, he has seen a great
light and become converted, and q few
days since paralyzed his former allies and
colleagues by introducing a bin to repeal
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act and allowing National banks TO issue
bills to the full par value Of the govern
ment bonds deposited in the Treasury u
secure the same.
While the political world was still lost
in wonder over his thorough change Of
heart, or rather, over his avowed change
OF policy, the Senator took occasion 70
eulighten the Senate and the country in
a set speech and then appeared the rea-
son for the milk in the cocvauut. Mr.
voorhees, is quite willing 10 grant what
the country demands, q stop SO the pur-
chase and storing away Of silver and 10
Jet the National banks issue bills TO the
par value Of government bonds owned
by them, provided he can thereby secure
tho repeal Of the prohibitory 10 per
cent tax on the circulation Of the State
banks. In other words he is willing TO
pay almost any price that may be asked,
only so the privilege Of issuing wildcat
money be restored TO the State banks.
This latest position Of the Senate's chair
man on finance shows upon what evil
days We have fallen, and Why among
other reasons the country is undergoing
the pains and perils Of a financial crisis.

"Come over and help us,S is daily ad-
dressed 10 the Republicans by the follow
e-s Of 4ir. Cleveland in that body. 1t IS
also patent TO the country, as well as to
the Democratic leaders, that the sole
hope for the repeal Of the silver puT-
chasing clause Of the so-calIed " sherman
Act rests on the votes Of the Repu0li-
cans, and yet with the assurance, the in
sincerity and the mendacity of Lucifer
himself, these Democratic leaders and the
press OF that party, first assuming that
the Sherman act is the sole cause Of all
our present financial troubles and admit
ting that they are powerless to repeal il
without Republican aid, turn aroundand
with partisan bitterness denounce II as a
Republican outrage, and with the next
breath beseech Republicans to lay aside
all partisan feeling and cast their votes
for Its repeal. If, however, the RepubIi-
can whose vote is thus solicited dare to
reply, viii vote for the repeal Of the
law, but believe that our troubles Do
not originate solely from it, but largely
from fear Of the threat 70 wipe out the
protective features Of our present tariff
aud thus destroy our industries, he is i'm
mediately charged with partisanship and
denounced for considering party before
country. In other words, the Democrats,
for partisan purposes, ailege as a fact that
which is not true, and then demand that
Republicans shall be muzzled and their
votes delivered. The Democratic ass
having fallen into a pit, Its owners viii
not agree 10 have II ex'ricated unless

emnly agree that they are responsible
