THE MONEY QUESTION COMES
FIRST

Chicago Tribune.
The indianapolis News says that eS-
President Harrison, being consulted
about the platform which should be
adopted by the state convention, said:
He believed the party should give ut
terance TO conservative sentiment In
respect to the tariff and should be as
pronounced as possible on the money
question. He tavocnd an explicit and
uneQuivocal declaration IN favor Of the
gold standard. saying that the money
question and not the tarin would be the
issue between the two parties this year
Ex-PreSident Harrisoa's advice Is
sound. The nri1 question can take
care Of itself this year, Every voter
knows that the Replbhcan party, when
1t has elected president and has the
supremacy in both houses OF congress,
will enact a law giving adequate pro-
lection where the wilson-Gorman
patched-up law fails TO give it, and also
providing the government with sufficient
revenue.
The urgent. burning question now is
the money question. The people know
how the Republican party stands on
protection They want to know how
strongly 1t is going to denounce
the Infamous proposition OF the free sill
verites that the standard OF values In
this country shall be changed and made
one-half what it now is in order to vio-
late millions OF existing contracts,
Such a change more radical and sud
den than any change of standard in the
worlds history, would involve frightful
consequences. There would be panic
which would be more disastrous than
this country has ever known, and which
would last longer. Industry would come
to a standstill for time and would be
crippled for years. The contraction OF
the currency caused by shrinkage Of 20
per cent. in the purchasing power OF
every dollar which was not gold would
cripple all business and throw back the
prosperity OF the whole country for a
lifetime.
II congress were to pass this week and |
the president were TO sign a bill adopting |
the English free trade tariff system. and 4
thus taking away every yestige OF pro-
lection. the consequences would be dis
astrous and widespread But they would
be slight compared TO the shock a
change to silver monometalHsm OF half
value dollars would infiict on the Ameri-
ran people.
This country, as a choice OF sore evils, |
can stand free trade better than it can |
free coinage. Hence the necessity for |
the Republican party in the state and |
national conventions declaring emphati- |
cally against tamperng with the stand
ard OF values which has existed for 100
years, There will be time enough TO
attend to other matters after the credit
and honor OF the country have teen
against the l6 TO l knavish |
agitation

hut Senator Gray's Amendment for the
Protection OF the Delaware Was Re
tnIned.
WAsHIEeToN, d G. May s The
item In the River and Harbor bill for
the Improvement OF the Delaware river
was passed yesterday afternoon by the
Senate, The reduction from $500 600 to
$3.50 600, which was made by the Senate
committee In accordance with It's inter
probation OF the recommendation OF the
chief OF Engiseers. was rejected through
the Efforts Of Senator Quay, and the
appropriation Of $500 600 carried by the
bill as It came FROM the House was
restored. The amendment secured by
Senator Gray to the item In the commit
tee vas retained.
The item, as finally passed, read as FOL
lows For improving Delaware river from
Trenton to its mouth, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey continuing improv ment,
$500 600, Of which So 600 shall be ex-
pended In the Improvement Of the chan
mel over Periwig Bar and 50 000 shall be
expended in rebuilding and enlarging
the dixie on government reservation, at
the junction Of the Scbuylkill aud Della
ware rivers at Fort M I'll 10 provided that
no part of the said appropriation. or any
appropriations heretofore made. shall be
expended upon the building Of a dixie be
tween Reedy island and L'ston's Point
until a board OF three engineer officers; to
be appointed by the secretary OF wRr,
shall consider the project Of said dixie
with reference to preserving and improv
ing the navigation Of the Appoquinimipk
river and Blackblrd creek and the ripa-
rian rights and facilities Of the Delaware
shore.
The interest In the Improvement of the
Delaware river, excited by the agitation
regarding the project Of the government
engineers and the strong pressure
brought to bear by the commercial bodies
OF Philadelphia, guarantees more rapid
prosecution OF the work than has hitherto
been accomplished. There Is no reason
TO believe that any stoppsge OF the work
on the dyke Rt Reedy's Island will
delay the deepening and clearing of the
channel on that stretch OF the river. In
fact, assurances have been given by the
government engineers that with adequate
appropriation such as was inserted in the
bill by the House, and finally retained by
the Senate, work on the river will be
pushed forward irrespective Of any delay

tion between Reedy Island and Liston's
