Convention of 1884 Massachusetts, lmost

E. EdmundsP In the stress of that strug-
gle there was formed between Massa,
chusetts and Vermonb close bond OF
fraternal sympathy which the lapse OF
time has never broken.
Vermont now has a chance to do for
Massachusetts what Massachusetts did
for Vermont then. Massachusetts pre-
sents Speaker Reed as its candidate. Ii
he is not its son by birth, he Is its son
by the powerful title of choice and OF
adoption. Massachusetts asks Vermont
as a matter of fairness, and not as mat
ter of favor, to give Mr.. Reed at st. Louis
the same devoted support which Massa-
ohusetts give MIR. Edmunds at Chicago.
Massachusetts asks this because it be-
lieyes that it has right to ask it-be-
cause it knows that the great, generous
hearts of Vermont Republicans are keen.

PROTECTION AND THE CURRENCY.

Gen. Draper of Massachusetts, is report
ed as saying that the currency question is
of small consequence as compared with
the protection question. That may be the
view that manufacturers, combining their
observation strictly to their own bust
moss, take of it, but it is an incorrect
view. The country could get along better
without a cent of protection than with
IN unsound and 1uotunting currency.
To a considerable extent manufacturers
as well as others could adapt Etheir bust
ness to non-protective tariff, for the
reason that the conditions though I'M
favorable would at least be stable, while
in case of fiuctuating and unsound
currency the conditions would be both
unfavorabIe and uncertain. Nothing ia
so harmful to general business as lack of
confidence and nothing is SO destructive
of confidence as dollar whose purohas-
ing power is constantly fluotuating. But
as far as the Republican campaign for
the Presidency is concerned there is no
protection question involved. Every can
didate mentioned in connection with the
nomination is believer in protection.
Mckinley is no better pr0teotionist than
Reed or Allison or Morton or Quay.
Any one Of them represents the protec-
ton idea just as we'll as Mckinley, and
some of them would be much more Wig
orous in asserting 1t in the face of violent
opposition than Mckinley himself. But
while all the candidates are on exactly the
same ground as regards protection-all
OF. them favorable to the policy and no
one of them, not even Mckinley, commit
ted to any particular measure or any par
ticular duty-they do not stand
on the same ground as regards the
currency. Mr.. Reeds home convention
rejecting his views, has declared for the
continuance of the existing gold standard
in the absence of an international agree
Morton's and Mr.. Quay's have declared
substantially the same way. Mr.. ALI
sons has been less definite, while Mr..
Mckinley's has been not definite at all.
Here are five candidates, differing in no
essential respect in regard to the tariff.
=
can make it so. in the election of any one
of them. But with the currency the case
is different. Three of them are pledged
to the gold standard while two of them
are more or less tolerant toward silver
We guard the protective tariff just as
well by electing one of these men as an
other. But on the currency question they
are not all equally pronounced. There is
therefore upon that question chance for
choice. Protection would lose nothing
by the choice of either one of these can
didates. But the gold standard might.
When the campaign between the parties
is reached thsrelmay be an issue between
protection and tariff for revenue only.
In the matter of the campaign for the
Republican nomination there are no
differences on this issue. But on the cur
rency question some of the candidates
have spoken definitely and decidedly,
while others have not.
The Portland daily press., 1896-04-29

Are mans opinions upon question
to be judged by his own expression of
them or by another's statement of what
he thinks they areP Mr.. Mckinley wrote
the currency plank of the Ohio platform
"a plank so noncommittal and ambigu-
GUS that it has been pronounced even by
Mckinley organs in Ohio to be strad-
die. Mr.. Sherman now writes letter in
which he AYERS practically that MIR. Nc
Kinley is in favor of the gold standard.
Now why did not Mr.. Mckinley say this
a month ago when his home convention
formally presented him as candidate for
president To him was committed the
work of constructing the platform Ia its
most important features-proteotion and
the currency. There was no ambiguity
or non-commlttalism about the utterance
on protection. Nobody has had to write
letter to say that Mr.. MCKINLEY Is a
good proteotionist Mr.. Mckinley spoke
on that point so definitely and directly
that everybody could understand just the
position he occupied. Why, if as Mr.
Sherman says, he is gold standard man
did he not speak with equal clearness on
the currency question. He knew per-
feotly well when he wrote the Ohio plank
that it would be regarded as rejecting
his opinion. Why then did he construct
it in such way that it could reflect two
opinions-that it could be construed as
favorable to larger use of silver as we'll

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE DEMOCRATIC LOAD.
New York SUM-

The apathy visible among the Demo-
cratic Statement, who, under ordinary cir
cumStanoeS would be inf1amed with M
bition to become the party's candidate
for President, is not the only unsat isfac-
tory feature of the Democratic outlook.
Several of the most influential and valua-
BILE of the party's leaders are reported as
intending to stay away from the Demo-
cratic National Convention at Chicago,
because. it is alleged. of the threat that
the majority of delegates there may adopt
a declaration for the Tree coinage of sill
yer, and produce situation in which
there can be little chance of profit in
the party's canvass. Yet the danger Of
free silver is not half the load under
which the Democracy is staggering.
A demonstration by the Hon. Grover
Cleveland that he with the tremendous
political forces with which he has been
intrusted can be relied upon for loyalty
to the Democratic principle forbidding q
third term would permit the Democracy
again to step with the fire and strength
of it's youth, and to face the immediate
trust in it's own perpetuation, it not with
it's customary confidence of success. The
now unquestionable ambition of Mr..
Cleveland to hold the nomination to be
made at Chicago within his control until
circumstances settle his mind as to
whether it is worth having, is what Oils
the Democracy with vindictiveness and
recklessness on the one hand, and discour-
agement on the other.
While the people of the United States
are well able to save themselves from q
thind term election, the Democratic party
is hampered by unmistakabe evidence
that the activity of this Administration
in national politics masks scheme to
obtain third term nomination for the
President.

LOBSTER
(Boston dvertiser. }

Acting-Governor VOL ccott's reasons for
vetoing the "short lobster bill will conf
mend themselves and their author to gen
eral public approval. Tho opinion of The
Advertiser has already been indicated as
being il line with the views yesterday ex-
pressed officially by his exoellency. For
time, no doubt, lobster fishermen would
be individually gamers by reduction of
the minimum length from 1912 to Q
inches but even to them the gain would
be temporary, while their SUBSEQUENT
loss would be, unless the former restric
tion were restored, perpetual. The real
interest of all the people of the State are
alike, though the concern of the men en-
gagged in taking Holsters for market is
most immediate and direct There ia no
getting around the argument used in the
veto message that in spite of the 10 l-2
inch limit the average size of the Holsters
found in market has, during several
years, gone on diminishing, and the price
increasing; therefore it follows as a mat
ter of logical demonstration that less pro-
lection would result in more scarcity.
