IT may be well, to admonish those
who are looking forward to an early
repeal OF the Sherman act or of its
mischievous provisions that, while
their hopes may be gratified in the
House, they will probably be obliged
to wait long and patiently for the
action OF the Senate. That body
always moves slowly; it is still under
rules which permit unlimited freedom
of debate, and whether it contains
majority in favor of unconditional
repeal is problematical.
To obtain such a majority is
not likely to be an easy task. The
silver party in the Senate includes
many able and experienced debaters.
At least two thirds of the Democratic
Senators follow the banners of the
free coiners and large contingent
OF Republicans, almost entirely from
the small States OF the West, are
fervid in their devotion to the white
metal. 1t is certain that this com.
bination will fight a repeal bill tooth
and nail unless they can exact some
concession in the interest of silver.
There will be stubborn resistance
on their part possibly filibustering;
and the plain truth to every one who
IS familiar with the composition OF
the Senate is that the chances of
overcoming them with a majority
for unconditionalrepeal are exceed
ingly dubious. 1t is doubtful whether
the silver men will permit the bill to
be exhausted in debate much before
October, for there Will be no end OF
speeches as well of schemes of
substitution and compromise, which
will need to be listened to and con-
Sidered in the interval.
There would be no reason for
discouras ement over this prospect
OF two months of delay in repeating
the Sherman act if there should be
no further business transacted by
Congress. If we are obliged to
wait no later thu the first of Oct
ober for the reps and If Congress
should then adjcu n, there would be
occasion for cor ratulation. But it
is the fear of W It may come after
that contamination that troubles the
country. There is apprehension
lest some new scheme of either
silver or paper initiation, or both,
may be sprung upon the people to
replace the Sherman act; and beyond
that loom up the vague but ever
alarming shadows OF tariff agitation.
The country could receive no
assurance that would be more sooth
ing and more productive of confidence
in business and financial circles than
an agreement on the part of Presid-
ent Cleveland and the Democratic
leaders that there shall be no tariff
bill introduced at the coming term.
Such a policy, coupled with the
abrogation Of the Silver Purchase
act, would be the highest guarantee
which the government could give Of
safety in the future to business and
and finance. The mere suggestion |
that Congress may begin a long
season of tariff turmoil, either
simultaneous with the silver agit- |
alton or supplemental to ii, is enough |
to throw the country into a panicky
condition at time, when the slight
est shadows disturb and unsettle the
minds of men.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-08-05

LET Congress pass a repeal of the
Sherman act within thirty days of
the 9TH of August and then adjourn
and the country will take on rh
dence. But il it is to proceed with
tariff smashing bill, it might Just
as well lei the Sherman act alone, so
far as the hope of avoiding panicky
cond tons in the future is concerned.
1t is the impending shadow of a
season of tariff agitation with its
resultant decentralization that thous
ands of business men regard with
apprehension. To propose such a
disturbing measure in such a season
of uncertainty, when the slightest
rumors unsettle mems minds and ex-
cite their fears, would only be short
of a crime.

THIS time last year wheat was
selling for So cents bushel. and
Democratic orators and editors were
assuring the farmers that if Mr..
Cleveland was elected they would be
rewarded with one dollar wheat.
On Monday last the price OF wheat
fell to 1914 cents, Evidently some
body ought TO be kicked, and if the
Democratic prophets wont kick them
selves, the farmers ought to do it for
them

WITH nearly every mill closed in
Cecil county, starving workingmen
find poor grub in two columns of the
Cecil County Mews laying the trouble
on the Mckinley bill. Honest men
know a fraud when they see it.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-08-05

If President Cleveland in his
special message next Monday and
Speaker Crisp on taking possession
OF the chair of the House again, as
he probably will, should declare
themselves in favor of no other bust
ness at this session than the early
and unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act and the indefinite post
ponement of tariff legislation, they
would be echoed gladly by the
country, and the sharpness OF the
present stringency would disappear
in sixty days. This would be a
patriotic policy which thoughtful
and conservative men of all parties,
who are anxious first of all to restore
the country to the confidence in itself
which it has lost for the time in
nearly score OF years, would hearth
ly support.

"if the New Haven Company gets the
New England Railroad the same close
relation between the New York Central
and the New Haven Companies will con
tinue and the pirate can be operated in
harmony with both systems. There
might be no objection to another route TO
Boston via Danbury. for il would develop
both the New England and Harlem
roads. With this disposal of the New
England there would be no strained re-
lations between Messrs. Morgan and
Vanderbilt" "
This party said that the Reading syndi-
cate still claimed to have a majority OF

posted with New York broker, and
there Is no record Of transfer. OF course.
he said, il they are deceived In thinKing
that they owned all this stock, Mr. Par
sons might have a surprise in store for
them at the annual meeting. Here Is
where the reported contest Tor control
comes in.
1t is, therefore, a matter OF doubt as TO
which side has given the supposed option
on controlling interest.
The Outcome.
The outcome will be most interesting.
II the proposed Vanderbilt route to Bos-
ton is es siablished. the business Of course
will be shared bv the Boston and Alban Y
and the New York and New England
roads. The New England road has line
into Springfield, connecting with the
Boston and Albany. Thess two roads
have the best terminals in Boston.
The advantage OF the New England
company cannot be overestimated. 1t
will be made a first class road. Where it
now gets haul of only eighty six miles
on through trains turned over to it from
the New Haven company at Willimantic
it will get haul of $50 by the Danbury
route.
1t now seems to be clear why the New
England company has been double track
ing its line west OF Hartford. aud the
Harlem road has been double tracked for
n considerable distance above White
Plains.
The distance from New York to
Golden's Bridge is A miles, the Danbury
line is IA miles long. anu the distance
from Danbury To Boston is lS) miles,
making 23S miles between the two cities.
The Shore Line is 229 miles.
