Nv 3rd.-Members of the ad-
" ministration who are to take
the road for ia purpose of talking
=finance-Secretary Smith is now in
Georgia, Comptroller of Currency
Eckels in Michigan, and Secretary
Carlisle and other members of of the
Cabinet will soon be in other states
have been, it is said, instructed bS
President Cleveland not to talk gold
standard, but cOnfne themselves to
fighting the free coinage of of silver
and advocating Il ''sound currency"
This does not mean that President
Cleveland has abandoned his single
gold standard ideas, but that the cold
reception given to Secretary Morton's
open advocacy of a single gold stand
has made him cautious. The whole
power of the administration is to be
used to prevent the free coinage men
capturing the next democratic nation
al convention. But such conservative
democrats asSenator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, who is now in Washington, are
predicting that the next democratic
convention will declare in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, and that the republican convention
will adopt plank favOring interna-
tiOnal bimctalism. If these predic
tiOns turn out to be correct, where will
Mr.. Cleveland stand in the next cam

Carl Brown turned up in washing
ton this week to celebrate the attempt
of COxey's army of the commonweal to
hold Il meeting on the capitol steps
last year. lie is us talkative, but he
is otherwise Il very different looking
man from Coxey's lieutenant. Instead
of the leather suit. slouch hat and fam
mel shirt, which were then the most
notable articles of his apparel, he now
wears a black freck coat. striped tlou-
sers, well BACKED shoes and shiny
silk hat, and looks like the politician
that he really is. lie says he expects
to be sent to Jail for criminal libel in
the case which is to..be tried at Canton,
Ohio, the first of next month.

In an open letter to President Cleve-
land, published here this week, Sena-
tor Stewart arraigns the aGministra-
tion for allowing both its foreign and
its financial policy to be dominated by
Great Britain. lie says ironically in
that sopen letter: ut now appears
that your wise and patriotic states.
manship is not confined to the limits
of a sound British financial policy fol
the people of the United States. but
includes your cordial cooperation in
the policy of conquest and dominion
for the mother country" Your sue
cess in eliminating from the constitu.
ton the insolent assumption of HI
independant financial policy for the
United States inspires a reasonable
hope that you may lie able in the neal
future, not only to render obsolete
that other prepOsterOus assumption
found in the pretended authority, il
the aforesaid insubordinate iDstru
ment, to raise duties on imports, but
also to remove every other unnatura
obstruction to the legitamite author
ity of Great Britain to manage ant
control our domestic affairs from til,
same magnanimous and dlsinterestet
motives that she now manages aEt
controls our foreign affairs" ''Do no
be discouraged by the 'crazy clamor
, of unthinlkng cranks for an indepen
dent foreign policy for the Unitet
States, but continue to regard sucI
unreasonable contentious as resultin,
from narrow prejudice, engendered b,
such rebels, fanatics and anarchists a
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, Jackson, Lincoln and their delu
, ded followers.
