Every republican has reason to feel
| proud that his party is practically a
| unit to-day in favor of honest money.
/ The doubt and the danger-are of dem
| ocratic origin. All the contest that is
going on, all the uncertainty and dread
| as to what congress will do, arise sole
ly from possibilities of democratic sac-
ton. 1t is the tremendous effort of
| Mr.. Cleveland to carry with him
enough democrats to make, with the
republican members of congress, ma
jority in favor of restoring business
confidence that now engages attention.
1t is the fact that the salvation of the
country to-day depends upon and will
be brought about by republican votes.
It's that party, and not his own, to-
which Mr.. Cleveland must look for the
support necessary to carry out his
financial policy. In every
calculation of what congress is likely
to do, the solid vote of republicans will
be found supporting the cause of hon
est money. The leaders of the party
have put themselves on record as favor
ing the repeal of the Sherman law.
They will be found supporting the
cause of honest money and sound
finance, no matter by whom or in whose
interest proposed.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press (Rep.).
If we had nothing to consider but a
game of politics, one question might be
played against the other. But the bus
mess interests of the country demand

the silver purchase, and there can be
no hesitation, on the part of republic
ans, in responding to this demand. On
the silver question, untlinching support
of the president against the majority
of his own party. so far as the presi-
dent is right And again, if the presi-
dent plants himself without reserve up
on the policy of the unconditional re-
peal of the purchasing clause of the
silver law, he should receive so far as
that issue goes, the unanimous support
of republicans. s.-Boston Journal (Rep.).
Those politicians who serve their.
country best serve their party most
This is proposition that republican
members of congress should not over
look. 1t is the solid ground upon which
they should stand, and it is unques,
tionably their duty as n minority in a
democratic congress to vote as they
would as majority in a republican
congress. The course of republicans
therefore, should be to stand firmly by
their principles, favoring sound money,
and shake hands over the chasm with
a democratic president and democratic
members of congress- who agree with

There will be no middle ground. The
question lies between gold standard
and fiat money. Republicans will
rally around money and conservative
democrats must come to Grover Cleve
lands position. Others will gravitate
to fiat money and join the populists.
The contest will be between
gold and silver standard, and when
gold wins as it is bound to do,
and fSee silver coinage is defeated
once and for all, there will be a general
breaking up of silver men, the few
sensible advocates coming over to the
safe ground and the others finding an
asylum with the sub-treasury calamity
howlers. Topeka Capital, (Rep.).
If silver is dcmonetized in the face of
party pledges the party doing so will
pass into history. The gold men may
as well take warning. If once the peo-
pie are forced to break away from their
party traditions and attachments by the
confiscation of silver it will not stop by
its restoration. The final result will be
the adoption of the treasury note as the
legal tender money of the leading pow
er on the globe. As soon as the one is
accomplished the other will follow. AS
one man the common people," as the
intelligent masses of America are called,
will arise and do this work. These gold
brokers and their allies have no concep-
tion of what an aroused American sem
timent can do.-Kansas City journal
(Rep.). Il. I. Van Horn, editor, fiat
money man, who fondly dreams of fl
nancial reform through the republican
party.
