Iu6 currency udu Deou all flBnB up
to the time that the revenues failed.
It was not a necessity for the free
coinage of silver. We had more sill
yer in circulation than at any previ-
GUS time in our history. It was not
a necessity for the redemption of
the greenbaclSs. From 1879 till the
failure of revenues the country pre-
ferred greenbacks to gold It was
and it was only a lack of revenues.
This was the disease eating at the
vitals of the nations prosperity
This it was that compelled the neces-
sity of borrowing money in time of
peace ON bonds issued under a false
pretence, the pretence that they
were issued to maintain the reserve
when in the last analysis they were
issued for Government expenses.
4" Now, what has the Fifty-fourth
Congress done? just here permit
me to draw a distinction. Congress
means the Senate and the House of
Representatives. The latter is Re-
publican, the former is controlled
by Democrats and Populists. The
Republican party can be held re-
sponsible only for the action of the
Republican House. No House of
Representatives that ever assembled
l undertake to say, ever accomplish
ed as much by way of important leg
islation within the same length of
time as has the present House, that
of the Fifty-fourth Congress.
"It passed, within a week after
the committees were announced, a
tariff bill that if enacted into law
would bring to the suffering Trea-
sury an annual increment of $40, ,000-
600. 1t passed q bond bill that
would have, If enacted into law, en-
abled the Treasury Department to
separate its current account from
its reserve account, and borrow
money for each as occasion might
require at low rate of interest. 1t
compelled by its action the adoption
by the Administration of the me-
thod of borrowing money from our
own citizens, in the open market, by
competitive bids, in small sums, in
stead of from foreign syndicates by
secret agreements at unjust and
ruinous rates of interest. 1t has ex-
pressed itself in unequivocal terms
in support of a vigorous American
foreign policy. cit has been in ses-
sion less than five months, and yet
has passed every appropriation bill,
a thing never before accomplished
in all our history. 1t has demon
strated the Republican faculty of ac-
complishing results by business me
thods with expedition, energy and
dispatch. Why has not its benefi-
cent action produced final results I?
Because the Senate is controlled by
a Democratic and Populist majori-
ty.
" When the country shall again
be in the keeping of the party that
believes in America for Americans,
in good wages, in encouraged capi-
tai, in the home market, it will re-
turn again to prosperity and con-
tentment and the reign of public
confidence. And that time will be
when a Republican President finds
behind him to hold up his arm Re-
publican Congress. And may God
speed the day. "

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOO

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK.
To an impartial mind it would
seem as the results so far of the
election of delegates to the National
Convention go far toward settl-
ing the question of the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. The
contest in Illinois was a pivotal one,
and in sense decisive. The op-
ponents of Mckinley had said to the
wave of popular enthusiasm which
was sweeping the county "thus far
but no further" and when that
State obeying the wide spread popu-
lar sentiment submerged the op-
position, it overcame practically the
last substantial barrier. We Repub-
licans, as rule, should not be gov
erned by what our Democratic
friends desire, but in this case
there seems to be such a unanimity
OF opinion among them that we are
half inclined to suspect they are sin
cere in asking that this apostle of
protection be nominated SO they
may have the opportunity of voting
for him.
The few great states yet to declare
are probably all for Mckinley. Cali
fornia, Missouri, Michigan, North
Carolina, Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia will in all probability stand in
his column, and if so, he viii have a
clear majority in the whole conven-
tion.
There are many contested cases,
but it would seem as if his success
was independent of them all, and if
such is the fact, it would be fit and
proper that all contention should
cease, and only patriotic motives
govern. Wise Republican leaders
will recognize in their devotion to
Republican interests and the welfare
of the country that the will of the
people should be carried out. and
what that viii is seems to be unmis-
taxable.

The Philadelphia Prsss says that
the reason why Mr., Pattison in his
western interview was so general as
to the kind of platform he would be
willing to stand on, arose from the
fact that he had left his financial
views with Mr. Harrity for use at
the Allentown convention, and
hence had none with him when in
terviewed.

Some of the farmers through this section
are progressing finely with their farms and
others are somewhat behind, but the bad
weather lately gave all a check. There are
only two that know of through this Sec
ton who are going to plan: tobacco; the
others are going to plant the same old
cotton and one know, will plant very
little of anything else. From all can
learn our lands through here are vel!
adapted to tobacco and it is a pity our
farmers would not diversity their crops
more The Way brothers have a plenty Of
vim and deserve to succeed, they are run
ming two grist mills and are now putting
in saw mill. Some of our farmers are
making a save in the cotton stalk choppers
by manufacturing them at home and they
do as good work as any other and cost very
little
Most of the schools in this section will
close as the public pap" is out, it is 0
good thing that the convention looked Sc
well to education, for the people generally
do not seem to realize the advantage ot
it.
