SEWERS FRIEND.
There Is No Place for a Silver Republics.
Except In the Peoples Party.
There is no desire to mar in the least
degree the joy of Republicans over their
Colorado victory. Their late jollifca-
ton speeches show that they are living
in a FOOLS heaven, where they hear the
rustling of angels wings, their owners
come to carry them to perpetual po-
litical happiness.
While the orators were deluding
themselves and feeding their followers
with prospects of free coinage through
republican agencies, the republican
organs in New York were making stall
wart talk for plain, simple gold mono
metallism and rejoicing over the death
OF bimetallism in every form.
For instance, the Commercial Adver.
tiser on the sth, with double-leaded
emphasis, announced that "the doom
of silver in this country as a standard
of exchange, other than as subsidiary
coin, is sealed. To attempt it's resur-
rection at this time is worse than use
less. 1t is criminal. The verdict
against it was final and should not and
will not be reversed
The Evening Post has become even
more rabid. In it's Civilizations over it's
party's victories, it throws off all dis
guise and scores western republicans
for daring to talk of any financial
policy short Of unconditional gold
monometallism. 1t starts an article
with the statement that ''there is nc t
the least doubt that the elections
have made silver back number
in American politics, if they have
not extinguished it altogether" It's
reasons for this cold-blooded state
ment, is that 1.-The populists of Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado have received a
crushing defeat" Then it individual
ICES: BLAND has been cast out by his
own district" it boasts, and Bryan,
who was perhaps more ugly GUS
toner than Bland, has been rejected
as candidate for the senate from Ne
braska and will not be in the next
house."
1t bids defiance to the silver states.
The republican party need no longer
curry favor with them. 1t slaps Teller,
Wolcott and other senator's, and sneers
party. This is the way it dresses them
down: "The matter of most impor-
lance is that the republicans are now
able to dispense with the mining camps
as political factor. The states of Ne
vada, Idaho and Montana are no longer
necessary to them. The threats made
by their leading politicians that unless
they could have free silver they would
abandon the party are no longer terri
flying. The republican center of grav-
ity is thrown east of the Missouri river,
and this means predominance of
sound money views in the next con-
gress. 1t is not necessary to cultivate
populism or any kind of financial
heresy in order to control the house.
Moreover, when Jones and Dubois and
their rotten borough troupe find that
the republican party can do without
them, they will not be nearly so fierce
as they were. They are not anxious to
be left out in the cold. Solitude has
no charms for them"
Having thus sailed down the silver
states and their republican statesmen,
the Post, warming to it's work, speaks
of silver as bastard currency" and
thus concludes it's admonitions: "As
soon as it is generally recognized that
silver has got its death blow, the pub
lie mind will be ready to consider some
rational scheme for currency reform,
like the baltimore plan, for example.
This is platform which anybody can
stand on, since it does not run counter
to any existing currency system or to
any existing party creed.''
1t is well enough for the jubilators
to hold these things in memory. If
they do, while it may detract some
from the load of joy they are carrying,
they will become wiser and, politically
speaking, better men.-Rocky Mount
