Republican Nominees.

We notice that the Times Democrat,
III comPentiDg on the st. Louis nom
nations. does not regard the nomination
ot Mckinley and Hobart as very
strongGicket. ttopines that "A stronger
might have been made. We are not
prepared to say with positiveness that
It Is IN error. Its facnltles for Judging
are certainly greater than ours, bnt we
nevertheless have an opinion which is
not altogether like the one given out by
the I'D.
Whilst We believe the financial ques-
tion OF very great Importance in local
tiles and even States, we do not believe
that the protective policy of the Re-
publicans will be subOrdiDated to it.
We believe the people engaged in agli-
cultural pursuits, wool. growers, etc,
will be more guided by a consideration
OF protection of their direct interests
than by the silver question. They
know that il the financial policy of a
great party proves to be unsatisfactory
because insufficient, the credit of the
entire government and not alone par
ticnlar industries, must suffer. A desire
to preserve itself from suicide, will
stimulate the party in power To at once
modify it's policy and to shape it to
meet national requirements and ext
gencies. We believe there is far more
unanimity in the desire for protection,
and that there it is of much greater i'm
pOrtance to the producing classes than
in the experiment of forcing the free
coinage of silver upon the commercial
world at the ratio of 16 to 1. There
can be no doubt that il legislation be so
framed that producers can be so pro
tected that they can get remuneratire
prices at home for their productions,
they will not complain Of the INSULT
cheney of currency.
In short, we believe the Mckinley
ticket very strong one, aud that
thousands who would prefer to have the
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. will
vote it, simply because protection has
been tried and found beneficial, while
free coinage at 16 to is necessarily an
experiment at best. Time has been
when there was free coinage at 16 to /,
but it was when silver was worth it, in
all the commerce of the world. It. is
not worth it now, and as soon AS it be-
comes SO, there will be no difficulty in
go holding it in the United States. We
would hot be understood as opposing
the experiment. On the contrary, we
are willing to make it, but are saying
why it is we believe the ticket of the
Republican party formidable one. =
1t is strong in our opinion, from an
other point of view. The advocates of
silver are not the less prOtectionists.
Ii they abandon the Republican party,
whittier shall they go? To the Demo-
cratic partyg Not all, because al
though for free coinage. they will not
abandon protection. This will keep
them out Of the Democratic free trade
party. Within its folds there ia no hope
Of protection. Then, 50 far as it is con
cerned it is formidable. A third party
stands no chance, unless it be to throw
the election in the House.
