1t is little singular what an interest
the money lenders are taking in the
poor people these days, as they are de-
claring that if we had free coinage the
depOsitOrs in savings banks would be
paid in 80 cent dollars. And the worst
of it is that no doubt this absurditV IS
believed by a great many in the East
who have been fortunate enough by
close economy to save up q few dollars.
They ought to realize, however, that if
the bankers really thought that free
collage would enable them to pay their
depOsitOrs in cheaper money there
would be no more ardent advocates Of
it than themselves Silver Plume
Standard.

A genuine stampede for free silver
appears to have set in among the demo-
Gratis. Every doubtful State goes that
way and some that the gold men con-
fidently expected as well. Carlisle's
own home town and county went free
silver. This year will probably see the
first western man nominated for presi-
dent by either of the old parties for
many years. Now if that party can
shed its eastern appendaGe Its reverence
for Jefferson and Jackson will find bet
ter acceptance.

A SPECIAL correspondent of the
Rocky Mountain News from New
York quotes a member of the Platte
brigade on McKinley's attempted strad-
die in this clear cut and pointed man
ner. lie says: 1--WE in the East are
for a gold standard while in the West
they want as much of silver as they
can get. Now what do we find? Why
an attempt is to be made to keep both
sides in line, though neither side wants
anything of the others ideas. The
Ohio managers have sized the matter
up and decided that the gold men are
the stronger and so they must be
carefully catered to. But the silver
people are not few in numbers and
they must not be permitted to bolt.
How, then, Is the trick to be done?
Why, by fooling someone, and and of
course the weaker side is the one Sc
lected to be fooled. A platform is to
be selected that shall not mention the
words gold standard but it shall so
read as to assure the gold standard
people that that metal will be retained
as q standard. Then there will be a
clause to clinch that which will declare
against the free coinage Of silver at
a ratio of sixteen to one or possibly
any other ratio. Then there will be a
little clause to tickle the silver people
which will promise that when bimetal-
ism can be brought about by an inter.
national agreement that the free coin
age of silver will be considered with
favor. This will mean that free coin.
age will never be permitted and that
the gold people can have everything
they want in the platform except the
two words gold standard Toput the
matter in the plainest possible terms
the Mckinley people are now prepar
ing a gold brick to be sold to the silver
people"

THE Louisville Courier-JOurnal,
Henri Waterson's paper, makes the
threat of the gold standard democrats
by saying that as result of silver con-
troll in Kentucky, it will go republican
by 10000. This seemstO be equivalent
to saying that the gold democrats will
vote the republican ticket. 1t couldn't
20 republican without their votes.

ALTHOUGH the Senate after wearing
out the 6llibustering of the eastern
members passed senator Buffers anti
bond bill by fair majority, It was not
expected that any such favorable re-
suits would emanate from such an over
whelming and representative republic
can body as the House. The results
have proved to be no different from
what were expected. II committee il
was voted down by thirteen republicans
the democratic members who were pres
ent voting against it. Events seem to
combine together day by day to declare
that Cleveland is a republican.

Now while the money question is
monopOlizing the greater portion of
the public thought, it is something
rather remarkable to contemplate the
growth of the sentiment in favor of
the referendum. 1t appears to have
so far grown past the fad period that
many people not considered wild-eyed
popullsts, are taking it up. St. John,
the silver bank president, IN his pro.
posed platform, includes plank for
this issue as one of his four. Come to
think about it, it is silly to say that We
can vote for long list of petty officers
down to dog pelter. but cannot provide
space on ticket for a vote from all
the people on such question as, say,
free coinage sixteen to one, or for the
ratification or rejection of a "McKin-
ley bill"

THE New York Press sent out num-
Der of questions to prominent republi-
cans over the nation. Among the ques'
tions was one asking what the republi-
can financial plank would be. Cy Lee
land answers this way: "FOr sound
money and the issue of reasonable
amount of silver and paper so long as
they can be maintained at par with
gold" This is probably about what it
will be. A straddle, leaning TO the
gold standard side.

THE combined power of the banks Is
the chief enemy with which the people
have TO contend. The bankers have
their string party ties as we'll as other
citizens, but these ties are rope of

independence. Secretary Chase, who
was mainly responsible for the estab-
lishment of national banks, expressed
profound regret for his completely in
giving life to that system. He ex.
pressed a fear that they might, by com,
