REED AND SOUND MONEY.
baltimore American.

EVERY day makes it more certain that
the nominee at st. Louis will be man
who is outspoken on the money issue,
and whose record in public life iustifes
the popular belief that he will stand
squarely and unreservedly against the
free coinage of silver. The situation is
so serious that there must not be any
doubt whatever on this point, for, unless
o stand be taken now for the honest and
only safe standard, panic and demora-
liZation will he the result.
cit is for this reason that every day
thinking people are turning more and
mere to Speaker Reed. He is for sound
money and the people supporting him are
for sound money. There is need this
year above all others in the history of the
Republican party for an able, expert
onced, positive man iii close touch with
the business interests of this great
country
"No other man fills these requirements
so admirably rs Mr.. Reed He is natural
~ business observer, as we'll us great
| statesman and his range of practical in
formation upon the needs, tendencies
| and circumstances of the country is not
oqualled perh ,ps by that of any person in
America today. His management of the
present House of Representative has
been as perfect as ever known In Wash
lngton. All that he does Is we'll done.
and If he ia nominated for President he
will carry the country by tho greatest
vote ever cast.
There 1s no hurrah in the case of Mr.
Reed, but the sober thought of the people
is with HIM and in four weeks it will
bring about his nomination.

7. 3. BARRETT.
April %, 1896.
If this address doesn't confirm the
PRESSES statement that Mr.. Barretts
name wonld go into the the convention
on a 'silver salyer," in othpr words that
Mr. Barrett is friend of silver, then
Mr.. Barrett does not use words and
phrases in their ordinary sense.
1t is just such proclamation as Sena-
ter Stewart and Senator Teller have been
in the habit Of issuing at brief intervals
for some years past, only that it has the
merit of comparative brevity which those
of the senators did not have, and con-
taius some allus1on to State matters. Mr..
Barrett can't get nomination on the
platform forshadowed I'D his address. We
somewhat doubt if he could get nomi-
nation on any platform, but he surely
cannot on silver basis.
