SOMETHING MUST REPLACE 1T

OXFORD, N. O., Oct. 3.
| To the Editor of the News and Observer:
The financial plank in the Syracuse
Democratic platform marks step IN aG-
vance toward the only rational settle
ment of the currency question. The
corresponding plank of the Saratoga
Republican platform was excellent also
although not so advanced as the other.
We presume that large majority, in
deed large majority of both parties in
the the State of New York are IN favor
of retiring the greenbacks and relieving
the government of all responsibility for
the ultimate gold reserve of the country,
vet the Democrats have been the first to
say so, and they are entitled to credit for
so much. The plank is in these words :
"Q4) Sound money; gold and silver
the only legal tenders; no currency in
convertible with coin; gradual retire
ment and extinction of the greenback
currency no free and unlimited coinage
of silver"
This plank is not unlikely to foreshadow
the policy of the administration at the
coming session of Congress, but upon
that point we have no information. No
policy could be more timely or more GER
tain to win in the long run. If the Re-
publicans should put themselves in OPP
position to it, they would fight losing
battle. Enthusiasm for the greenback
as veteran of the war and a relic of
patriotism has nearly worn out. The
public have had good deal of light on
this subject in the past two years, and
are now prepared to listen to purely
financial arguments. Whenever the
time comes that the question is to be de-
cided on financial grounds exclusively,
the greenback will be sent, in one way
or another, to its final resting place, and
the country will once more have peace.
OF course there will be a demand for
some other paper circulating medium to
take the place of the greenback, but
when public attention is once seriously
fixed upon this problem, the necessary
means will be found
The above is the editorial criticism OF
leading metropolitan daily on the
financial plank as submitted by the
State Democratic convention lately met
at Syracuse New York. 1t remains to
be said, however, whether the gold
standard men do or do not succeed in
shaping the cause of the National party,
that, coincident with the retirement Of
the greenbacks, there must be reor-
ganization of the national bank system
together with repeal of ten per cent
tax on State bank notes, and the South
will insist on such a Encouragement Of
the currency as shall provide a sufficient
circulating medium, which removing
present unsatisfactory and unjust con-
ditions, now grown well nigh unendur-
able. LOUIS DE LACROIX,
