Gold Bugs Getting Kind Of
Tame.

Tame.
The Great Republican gold bug
organ, the Minneapolis Tribune,
emits the following sicLly grunt
through the Farmers Tribune,
ON the Oregon Senatorial out
DOLPH's SUCCESSOR AND THE FL
NANCEs.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, was
beaten by the free silver sentiment Of
his state. While his successor is not
an avowed silverite, he is, it is stated,
uncommitted on that question, and
Mr.. Dolph's opponents, thinking him
preferable to the man who had made
record for sound money, gave the
necessary votes to secure his election
after Dolphs followers had cha nged
over to him.
The free silver sentiment in the
Western states shows no signs ofsub-
siding. In fact, the advocates of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
on the ratio Of Is to l grow more
rampant every day, and the efforts
made by the administrator to main
tain gold as the money Of ultimate
redemption only incenses them to
more strenuous efforts in behalf of
their fallacy. 1t is hardly probable
that the new senator from Oregon
can be counted among the reliable
sound money advocates, and his cleo
ton is loss to that side Of the
senate. He will probably call himself
"bimetallist," and a bimetallist as
a rule is simply monometallist in
masquerade. It is useless to disguise
the fact that the Republicans in the
next congress are going to encounter
some of the difficulties, in respect to
financial legislation, which the Dem
ocrats have encountered in the present
congress. They will be bothered
with strong contingent of believers
in or sympathizers with debased
coinage. The free silver senator's
in the three parties will be strong
enough to defeat any financial legis-
lation looking to the funding of
greenbacks, the issue Of gold bonds,
or the ablishment Of permanent
currency based on gold redemption.
On the other hand, any free silver
legislation that may be passed will be
vetoed by President Cleveland, and
hence the situation will be dead.
lock. The country will be obliged to
get along with the same financial
system that it has had since the re-.
sumption Of specle payments in 1879
It can do this if the revenues,
through the naturalization OF the
sugar duties and income tax, and an
improvement in general business,
bee ONE adequate to meet the govern
ment expenditures. 1t is possible
that there will have TO be another
issue Of bonds before the revenues
come up to the required figure, but
the president possesses ample au thor,ty
to make another issue, and he has an
arrangement with the Rothschild
syndicate whereby any quantity Of
bonds can DO marketed. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be able to obtain
a better price for the next issue, If
one shall be decided on.
Just notice the admissions:
"The silver craze is not subsid-
ing in the Western states. Nay,
it grows more rampant every
day. The Republican congress
is going to encounter difficulties
from the silver men," etc., etc.
But it has one consolation, the
Great Minneapolis Tribune has,
the great Republican paper OF
Minnesota, and what is it?
"President Cleveland has an
arrangement with the Rothschild
syndicate whereby any quantity
of bonds can be marketed" It
has faith that Cleveland will sell
bonds and the Rothschilds will
buy them and thus the bonding
OF this. nation 90 on forever.
And this is the position Of the
leading republican daily OF
minnesota! In former days the
party relied on the sentiment of
the people and on the judgement
of men like: Lincoln and Blaine,
but now, alas! it seems it has to.
rely, on a democratic President
and the Rothschilds. Speaking
