sherman denies that lac has been play

that he has simply put his own views

statements Of various republican scna'

have fallen upon them. and The partic-

what the situation demands Is simply
more revenue TO be got from taxation.

PATRIOTISM AND POLICY.
The Republicans Ignoring Their Duty :.
the Nation.

The republicans in congress ought to
ioin in passing a bill for the protec-
tion Of the treasury. for three reasons:
First-It is the requirement Of pa
triotisTn. They cannot. as some 0.
their narrow partisans advise, leave
the democratic party I'M hole" with.
out leaving the country lin a hole
II is the national treasury that Is en-
barrassed. II is the nations credit that
is in peril. National bankruptcy
would mean universal disaster. To
seek a partisan advantage in such an
emergency is monstrous.
Second W. The republicans are at
least equally responsible with the
democrats for the present trouble.
1t was a republican congress and adj
ministration that squandcrcd the sur
plus OF 500. 100000, that ran the OK
pcnditures up to a billion dollars,
that passed the Mckinley act which
cut off $50 OO. 900 Of revenue, that
passed the sherman act adding over
$4,000. 900 to the legal-tender paper
currency threatening the gold reserve,
and that scored n net loss Of sl2e,-
100000 in gold to the country in four
wears and reduced the trcasury's
free gold sol, 100000 in the same time.
These are the presidents and puts
SAINT causes Of the present currency and
treasury troubles. Have not the re-
publicans an obligation TO help cure or
at least alleviate them?
Third-Such aid is a plain require
ment Of policy. Ii no easur Of relief
shall pass now the new congress must
and will he convened in extra session.
The republicans will control by a
great majority the house in which
must originate. With n free
silver or greenback majority in the
house and the populists holding the
balance Of power in the senate, will
their dilemma be easier than il now
is? DO they think they will DC per-
