CONGRESS AND GREENBACKS.

There can be no doubt as to the ne cessity for a readjustment of the legal tender" currency of the government by the incoming Republican administra- tion. It is equally clear that this ne- cessity has been forced upon the coun- try by the financiers now in control of the National treasury. The moment that the government was saddled with a constantly increasing deficit, it was placed at the mercy of money specu- lators. The recurring raids upon the treasury during the last three years could not have occurred but for the in- adequacy of the governments reve- nues. The incoming administration will, therefore, be confronted with a serious condition requiring it's imme- diate attention. That it will be able to remedy existing evils and prevent their recurrence no one can doubt who is at all familiar with the history oi the Republican party.
Arizona republican., 1896-11-13

The New York World, with charac- teristic enterprise, has ascertained how Senators Clark and Warren of Wyom- ing, Brown and Cannon of Utah, and Perkins of California, whose future positions on finance and tariff have been in doubt, will stand with regard to the Republican plan of increasing the revenue. All but Cannon will par ticipate in the Republican caucus and abide by it's decision as to bills increas- ing public revenues. Three are as much opposed to the single gold stand ard as ever, but none except Senator Cannon, the representative of Utah, will insist upon free silver rider to the Dingley or any other tariff bill.

THE EFFECT IN EUROPE.

There has never been a time in the history of this country when the great nations of the world have shown more interest in the results of political the last few days in their comments on the election of November B. With few exceptions, the statements made by prominent men and by leading news papers, are favorable to the verdict of the American people, In England, France and Germany it is recognized that while the advent of Mr. McKin- ley to power may imply an attempt at the restoration of those trade condi- tions that were inimical to the growth of commerce between these countries and our own, yet the advantage of hav- ing the American monetary system re- main undisturbed is so great as to re- | duce these other matters to a sec ondary importance.
 | The whole commercial world has been for weeks past in a state of sus- pense. The trade of the world is now so closely interwoven that a great crash in one country spreads it's waves of influence to all places where inter- national trade is carried on The banking disasters in Australia, the bankruptcies in Argentina, had the indirect, but none the less appreciable effect of reducing trade, and, hence, the reducing of profits of country shop keepers in Vermont, Wisconsin and other remote and apparently uninter- ested sections. The interdependency of modern people is a condition they can not ignore, or, if they ignore it, it may be at the expense of serious loss. On 1 this account the people of the great commercial nations of the world are rejoicing in the result of the election.

A UNION OF STATES.

The Springfield Republican calls at tention to the fact that "the change of few thousand votes in such close states as Kentucky, California, Oregon, the Dakotas, and Indiana would have elected Bryan," although the popular vote through the whole country was heavily against him. This, in The Republicans opinion, illustrates a de- feet of our electoral system.
 It seems to us rather to illustrate that our Nation is a union of states and that we are not merely one big mass meeting from ocean to ocean, The popular majority in a presidential cleo tion always makes an interesting study. Only two or three times has the action of the presidential electors failed to accord with it, but that is only incidental. The fact to remember is that state lines mean something and have another purpose than the mere dividing of the country into vot- ing districts.
