TH&r ACT OF '7s AGAIN.

To the Editor, of the Globe
Dear Sir: Is it not a fact that the
Democratic party in national conven-
tons, in state conventions,o on the stump
and through the public press, denounced
as crime and a fraud upon the people
the Republican act of 1878 demonetz-
ing silver? If so, was the Democratic
party honest and sincere in these de-
nunciationS? There are many Demo-
Gratis in this portion of the state in view
of the GLOBES present position on this
question who would like TO hear your
explanation. Respectfully submitted.
A. ID. LA DUE.
Luverne. Aug. 90, 1898.
Admitting affirmatively our CORE
SpUndent's questions, we tail to see
their relevancy to the present position
OF the GLOBE" If he infers that the
GLOBE favors the decentralization of
silver-that is, the cessation OF its use as
money-he has read it very carelessly,if
at all. If he liners that the Democratic
party advocates return to the coinage
policy prevailing prior to the act of '73
throwing the mlnts open to the free
coinage of 60-cept dollarS-he reads the
latest authoritative declaration of the
party as carelessly.
When the act of 1878 was passed sill
yer was worth 1892 all ounce. it is
worth IS cents now. This country has
been making heroic, foolishly heroic,
and futile effort to prevent that depre-
citation. The conditions have changed
since 1873. The party that does not
recognize changes in conditions which
it cannot control and adapt itself to
very soon becomes back number.
Our party underwent that experience
generation ago, and it has taken a gen.
Grafton to recover from the effects OF it.
The question of the coinage of silver at
76 cents an ounce is different one from
that when it was S1.29 or above. Be-
sides, it is practical, and not theoret-
ical one. We are obliged to accept
things as they are, and not as we would
have them. We would like to see silver
at its old price, but it is not there, and
there is not power enough in this gov
eminent to put it there. We doubt
whether there is power i'll the confed
Grated commercial nations of the world
to do it. Economic laws are stronger
than legislative laws.
In conclusion, the GLOBE has no espe-
cial explanation to make. 1t believes
that the position it takes is right, and
therefore Democratic, FOR what is not
Democratic in government is not right.
We regret, of course, to have some Dem
ocrats differ with us, but the regret is
only because we are sorry to see them
holding opinions which we cannot &C
cept as Democratic.

The country has determined that it
wants relief from the Sherman act
without substitutes Sun.
By passing the majority bill congress
would stop the silver purchases and the
issue OF treasury notes in payment for
The same, and consequently stop the
displacement of gold by the issue of
cheaper paper and allay all fear of a
degradation of the standard. That is
all.and the country does not really need
anything more for the present. The
legal status of the existing silver dollars
and of the Sherman notes already issued
would not be affected in any way. Both
would still be legal tender, as they are
now, and the obligation to maintain
them at par with gold would be the
same.-Chicago Herald.

BATH HOUSES GONE.
Storm Makes a Complete Sweep
at Long Branch.


| LONG BRANCH, n. j.. Aug. 4.-The
fierce northeast storm of last night and
| this morning caused considerable
| damage at this place and it will be some
| time before the Branch entirely RECEIVERS
from the effects of the storm,
which, without doubt, was the severest
experienced at this place in years.
fortunately there was no loss of life.
There are but few houses in Long
Branch with a whole chimney. By far
the worst damage was done along
the shore front. The West End
hotel to the Normaudie-by .the-Sea-
| not bathing house is to be found in
tact. The major part of them were
swept into the sea, while others were
washed high upon the beach or bluff.
At the West End hotel part of the roof
| was blown off. The famous old ocean
iron pier is a thing of the past. The
storm of last night and this
morning carried away fully four
tifths of it. and all that now remains is
| about twenty-five feet from the shore.
At the North Branch the terrific storm
did considerable damage to the new
bulkheads, lawns and bathing houses.
The monster breakers made
clean sweep over Oliver Doud
Byron's Dulkhead and carried
away his bathing house and dam
aged his property quite extensively.
Galilee, the pretty little resort north
of Monmouth Beach, was completely
Inundated with water from the great
storm. At one time it looked as if st.
Peters i'll Galilee, the Protestant Epis-
copal church, would be swept into the
ocean. The sea completely surrounded
the picturesque little editice.
The fishermen who lived i'll the little
shanties at the place had a hard time of
it all night. Their huts were filled knee
deep with water, and they were forced to
wade around in them, saving their effects
from being washed into the ocean.
Other resorts along the coast suffered
severely. Reports that reached here
from the inland towns stated that the
storm had done considerable damage to
buildings, farms and stock. All tee-
graphic or telephone connection
with the inland towns is cut Off,
as well as with New York and
other cities. This is the first
time since the memorable blizzard that
all telegraph and telephone wires have
been down and business suspended. 1t
is impossible to foot up the loss caused
by the great storm as yet, but it will
prove one of the SevereSt ever expert
enced along the coast.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
An article appeared in yesterdays
GLOBE signed by An Old Citizen (who
no doubt is a Catbolic) blaming the
present deplorable state of affairs in
this country to the American Protective
association. The Old Citizen does not
explain how the A P. A. brought a66ut
this condition of the country, or in what
way they have taken part. Ii seems to
me as if he has used the present finan-
cial stringency to give the A. p. a. a
slap. There are as many good Demo-
Gratis as there are Republicans in this
order, and we are against no political
party or religion, unless said party or
religion interferes with our present
school system and tries to overthrow
our government. We are Americans,
no matter where our fathers were born.
