now seems to be little hope of more

A Cowardly. Contemplate Charge.

1t is difficult to believe that the
Democrats will obtain any effective
campaign thunder from the ridiculous
and contemplate attempt they began
in the House. Monday. by charging the
Republican party with neglect to pass
legislation through the Democratic and
Popuistic Senate and in opposition to
the administration. There We're. it is
true. free silver Republicans who stood
out against the passage of deficit bill.
which, had ii passed and not been We
toed, would have given the country
good times ere this, and provided suf-
ficient revenue. to have guaranteed the
treasury reserve and prevented the
necessity OF any more Democratic bond
sales. The Republican press generally
has been very outspoken against those
free silver men but what have the
Democratic sound money organs had to
say about the neglect of the Democrats
in the Senate to respond to the neces-
stiles of the country?
When President Cleveland wanted
the Sherman law repealed he looked to
the Republicans to rise above mere
political considerations and make the
repeal possible. This was just what
they did. They did not agree with the
President that the Sherman law was
the cause of the distress, nevertheless;
they saw that it would be safer re-
pealed than in operation under the cir
cumstances and it was through THEN
votes that it was repealed. Notwith-
standing the Democratic power in the
legislative branch that repeal could
not have been effected without Repub-
lean votes. Not only did the Demo-
take to themselves credit for that re-
peal but in the same breath blamed the
Republicans for the law although they
well knew it was made to escape a free
silver measure, pure and simple.
The Democratic Congress then car
ried through tariff measure which
cut down the revenue below the point
where it would pay running expenses.
1t fell fifty millions short during the
| first year of its operation. 1t not only
| unsettled business but it necessitated
| the issue of bonds. These bonds re-
quired gold. The gold had been di-
| verified from the control of the treasury
| by various channels, one of which was
| fear of Democratic financiering
another the alarming rate of increase
in the national debt and another the
draft upon the reserve made necessary
and effected indirectly for the purpose
of paying expenses. Matters We're 60
ing from worse to worse. The Repub-
lican House promptly came to the res
| cue with a measure that would have
increased the revenue by $40. 900 900. Ir
