INtimes of financial depression the nat
ural tendency of nearly every mar seems
to be to discuss finances. Questions over
which the best minds of the world have
spent a lifetime in attempting to solve
become mere toys in the hands of those
VINO have never given the subject one
hours thought before they were cramped
by hard times, and especially is this
true of newspaper men. They feel called
upon to to the world just what
should be done. If they happen to make
a lucky guess they con say "as was adj
vocnted by the -" and SO forth. Po-
lltical parties resolve and re-resolve, then
probably adopt an entirely different plat
form. Just at this time the question of
honest money, free silver, state banks,
national repositories for commodities,
issuing of unlimited amounts of bonds,
and many other schemes is uppermost,
and nearly every paper in the land is
taking it's position upon the correct
financial policy to be pursued by the
different political parties. In view of all
these things, the Bismarck TRIBUNE be-
lieves it proper that it announce what it's
policy for the future will be on the money
question. The TRIBUNE is q republican
paper in every nerve and fiber, and be-
lieves most fully in republican suprem-
acy. In 1861, when the civil war burst
upon us with all it's fury, and when gold
went skyward financial ruin and distress
stared us in the face. The republican
party was equal to the occaslon, and out
of a necessity born of the hour devised
a financial system that enabled us to
repel the mad assaults Of treason and
rebellion and establisho on a safe and sure
foundation a nation stronger than before.
In this they were opposed by democracy.
In 1878 the republican party, alive to the
best interests of the country and against
the loud protest of the democratic party,
resumed specie payment. From 1861 to
to 1892 the democratic party has been
powerless to put in vogue a complete
democratic system of fnanciering. In
two years they have brought the country
to it's present condition. At last falls
election the verdict of two years before
was reversed, and the next congress will

adopted the TRIBUNE does not pretend
to say, but that it will be a correct one
there can be no doubt. The republican
party was brought into existence from
necessity for the betterment of the indi-
vidual and the masses. 1t has made
such changes in its policy as the needs
of the people demanded. Democracy's
claim never to change the history Of the
past justifes the claim. The same rock
ribbed, moss.grown policy advocated by
John G. Calhoun is still in vogue. Their
various platforms, constructed to catch
votes, may vary, may advocate many ill.,
novations on the old feudal times Of the

old dogmas are followed. When the rep
resentatiye republicans Of the nation in
congress assemble at Washington next
December, such a policy as will be in
harmony with the best interests of the
whole people, both east and west, north
and south, will be adopted by repub-
licans, that policy will become the battle
cry of the next campaign, and that policy
will be the one the Bismarck TRIBUNE
will advocate. The TRIBUNE does not
pretend to be wiser than it's party, or to
know from the %profundity of its own
knowledge just what should or should
not be the policy best adapted to the
needs of the people. 1t is easy enough
to say we are for honest money, but just
what that means may cause a diversity
of opinion. The term Stree silver is easy
enough to use, but more difficult to un-
derstand in all its applications, yet it
will be given full consideration when
congress meets. Nature is just To- Law.
