Mdnsnelu, u, august H. Ic'o'
Dear Sir,-The only way in which
Republican administration can correct
the evils OF .ha past is by increasing
the revenue by a new tariff law, ana
this. I fear, is not practicable.
"Fery truly yours.
John SHERMAN"
Tho Washington Post in its comments
upon this letter says: 1T is, indeed. I'M
practical BILE 40 far as relates 10 the Fifty
fourth and Ffty-fifth congresses, and It
may be impracticable for a longer time.
The Republican party must win two ma
tional victories-in 1896 and 1s9S-and must
put into the Senate number OF men
who will be loyal TO It's faith before 1t
can correct the evils Of the past This
communication from Mr. Sherman may
discourage some Of his brethren, but ii
will help the Mugwump and Democratic
Mckinley men TO endure with compa-
cency the tariff talk of the next two
months"
The Post is right; the Republicans
cannot turn wheel in the way Of car
rvlng out their financial programme until
they have won two national elections
those Of 1895 and 1898.
In other words, free-silver Senate
will prevent any legislation hostile TO
free silver for nearly three years to
come. and maybe longer. If Mckinley
is elected the present agitation is to
continue for three years more. There's
10 be no peace, no quiet, no protection
TO the gold reserve Except by the sell
ing Of more United States bonds until
the Republicans have won the national
elections of 1888.
Now. isn't this a fine prospect for the
business community; isn't this delight
full outlook for gentlemen who have been
holding real estate for years and years,
hoping for an upward movement in the
market?
John Sherman has given the whole
"snap" away. In five-line letter he has
put a new phase upon this campaign.
and has set people to thinking correctly.
who never thought Alright before. Now,
every man of business must see plainly
that the election Of Mckinley offers no
possible prospect Of o. financial settle
ment for the next three years. The
best that could be hoped for would be
that times would get no worse. 1t could
not be expected that they would improve.
And yet there are Democratic business
men in Richmond. Lynchburs, Peters
burg. Norfolk. Alexandria, Charlottes-
Vile, Staunton. and Roanoke who are
acting as sappers and miners TO open the
way for the triumph of the Hannas and
McKinleys.

Ni'I<IyLEY is N'KIyLEY.

The free trade papers that got caught
in the gold mesh OF the St. Louis plat
form are very sick. Their sickness IS
due to their having to bolt the tariff
chunk Of the Mckinley letter-that is.
bolt it down-and the grimaces they are
making are painful TO behold. Here is
the way the Springfield Republican
aeonlzes under the operations:
But Mckinley would not be Mckinley
II. after disposng Of the silver question
on these lines, he did not plunge at once
into an elaborate treatise on the tariff
question. Here he is thoroughly at home,
and TO the extent Of about three columns
ne pelts us with statistics of exports and
imports. and nourishes the distinctive Nc
Kinley panacea Of all our woes. Now
we see the mans real position. Another
issue of supreme importance we read
sis that of protection" That is to say,
protection is as supreme" an issue as
the menacing assault upon the financial
integrity of the government. 1t can oc-
cupy no second place in McKinley's mind.
We should be surprised If 1t did.
Mckinley is McKinley--the man the
Republicans nominated in year when
portance is that Of silver.
He raises 20 an equal height, and
naunts in the faces of his allies the
standard OF high .aI;ff, which may anger
many and drive them from his follow
ing. but with this all should bear right
patiently because the crisis Is grave ana
patriots should do their duty.
And this is the way the New York
Times takes the dsagreeable dose:
But II is amazing that ne should de-
liberately write two or three columns OF
controversial matter about the tariff call
culated by its form and substance TO
drive away thousands OF voters from his
support IN the doubtful States--in those
States which he can carry only by WIN
ming votes outside his party and which
he must carry in order TO be elected, The
political stupidity of this proceeding is
almost unprecedented.
The Republican and the Times repre-
sent very fairly the inconsistent position
in which the independent anti-tariff and
boiling Democratic papers Hnd them
selves in endcavoring 10 further the cleo
ton Of Mckinley.

CRITICIsEs M'I<INLEY'S LETTER.
Edward Atkinson Says the Rcpubii-

Boston TELEGRAM OF 9th in New YORK
JOurnal)
Edward Atkinson said to-day, after
reading Mr. McKinley's letter:
Il regret that Mckinley should have
felt il necessary to say that. in the event
OF his election. IL would be the duty or
the party to return 10 the system OF pro-
lection which has become known as NC
Kinleyism. That system has, in my tudg-
ment. been utterly condemned, and TINS
assertion Will make II much more diiil-
cult for Democrats 10 give their votes
for Mckinley, even in the present emer-
gency.
II note one conspicuous fallacy and one
error in his speech. The fallacy is that
the Mckinley system Of protection IS
urged for the purpose Of increasing reve-
nue., In disregard Of the fact that, when
protection begins. revenue ends.
The error OF fact IN Mckinlcy's speech
is that the debt OF tho United States has
been increased under the present admins
tration by an amount equal TO the whole
sum Of interest-bearing bonds recently
issued. S212,Q00.Ov0 | have not the exact
figures of the deficiency or revenue by
which the debt has been increased. but f.
Is about one-helf OF the amount Of bonds

ing bonds substantially represents 50

est-bearing debt"
