Something to Be Kept in Mind.

Something to be kept uppermost in
mind especially at this time when the
discordant howl for fiat money is
heard in various parts of the coun-
try. is that when an ignorant person
is sick. or thinks he is, he is more
likely to rush to the quack for relief
than to the regular practitioner. There
are many, who would hotly resent the
their senses when searching for pana-
cea. We are inclined to the opinion
that the correct diagnosis of the
cause of the free silver shrieks would
show the trouble to be collie rather
than chronic and that it will pass
away in a comparatively brief. time.
Nevertheless the need of guarding
against a recurrence of the anguish is
obvious.
The history of all such spasms. for
spasm it is, shows conclusively that in
time of prosperity and plenty they do

business that existed in 1892 continued
we should not now be undergoing the
fever of fiatism. Ine country ought

tariff was a colossal blunder; that

events combined. These facts are 50.
apparent they seem to require no
demonstration. The most natural
conclusion then is. to repair the effects
of the blunders. The syndicate blum
der was relieved very much by the
popular loan. The beneficial effect
was somewhat impaired by the fa-
voritism shown to the Morgan syndi-
cate in the award of some Of the
smaller bids. Nevertheless to the per-
son of average intelligence, viewing
the matter dispassionately, the gen.
eral effect of that popular bond loan
ought to be convincing that this coun-
try is in no danger of being financially
controlled by any syndicate of money
lenders
But above all and first of all the
duty of all good citizens is to place the
government finances beyond the need
of relief such as has become necessary
under the Wilson-Gorman tariff. We
must have a tariff that will favor the
people of this country and provide

thought to be cure-all can be more
firmly impressed upon their minds.
The Republican party is for a wise
protective tariff. The Democratic
party is not The Populist party
doesn't know what it wants but Is in
clined to think it wants to be swal-
lowed by the Democratic organization.
The Republican party nor any men,
her of it should allow this fact to
escape the mind. This idea must
triumph so overwhelmingly that no
coterie of renegade senators will dare
to attempt to thwart it. Furthermore
we feel confident that this great truth
is so impressed upon the minds of the
great majority of the voters in the
United States that it not only is un-
necessary but would be foolish for
the Republican party to entertain the
notion for one moment that it will be
necessary to compromise upon ques-
tions relating to the currency in order
to win.
The traditions of the Republican
party are such that it must be false to
them if 1t yields to fiatism. Never

peace and Republican ascendancy
