 This is the condition that stands rockribbed to resist and revent all true Democratic legislation in the direction of reforming our currency system. Not one wants what the other desires; indeed, what one wants the others denounce with the greatest violence The free silver efanks and the populists denounce the Wall street sharks as plutocrats and monopolists who want to own the country; and the Wall street sharks denoHnce the free silver Dem ocrats as demagogues, enemies of the prosperity of the country, and financial lunatics; and the Populists denounee both their allies with equal Yehemence and fury. The Admins tfation Democrats stand the only defense the only hope of the country.
 The true Democrats, together with the soidisant Democrats, free silver ites and traitors, wearing the mask of Democracy, are in a majority in both the Senate and the House; but the genuine Democrats are in a mi nority in the Senate at least; and, bound hand and foot by this infa- nous coalition against the Admins tration, are powerless to enact the relief the people so much need. And to make matters worse, we find Dem oeratie newspapers pretending to de sire, and we believe in many cases sincerely desiring the supremacy of the Democratic party, utterly ignor- ing all party tics; all principles of prudence; disregarding all obliga- tions to stand by the Democratic Administration, and, intent only on their advocacy of some pet scheme of imitation, and influenced to fury against the Administration because of it's advocacy of sound money, abusing the President and Mr. Car lisle ten times wo, SC than they abuse now, or even did before, the Repub- lican party. Nor are these abusive tirades on the President and the See retary confined to political matters; they have been indignantly personal; outrageously abusive; offensive to common deeency, and to every sense of right and justice.
 These papers possess more or less influence with the people; they are addressed to large populations who have no opportunity of correcting the impressions thus made; and hence such journals are undermining the party, imperilling a Democratic victory in 1896, and threatening the utter ruin of the great political prin- ciples and party they pretend to be lieve in
 A great battle is to be fought. A high responsibility rests upon the genuine Democrats iI Congress. There are some able and true men in both the Senate and the House, who are fully competent to under stand all questions from the stand point ef statesmen; but we are safe in saying that in both bodies there are not sixty men who understand the currency question, or who are capable of understanding it. The mass of them pick up the widest theories, and, if they find a constit- uency behind them equally deluded, they rush to the front with their wildcat schemes; they are insensible to reason, and thed stand ready to swamp the Democratic party and the true interests of the American people in persisting in their madness and their domagoguery.
 The iStates does not claim to be able to master this question; but the iStates has sense and patriotism and Democracy enough in it's com position to recognize it's obli- gation, in such an issue, to yield some at least of it's convic- tions to the counsels of the wiser and equally patriotic men in the party, and join in the support of 3 common measure of Democratic |egislation
