Nothing That Need Obscure the Issues.


There are some Republicans, it ap-
pears, who object to the amount of con-
sideration now being given to the sub
ject Of free coinage, as compared with
the attention devoted to the tariff 1t
seems to us that there is nothing in the
situation that need cause any uneas-
ness in that quarter. There are Demo-
Gratis, who avOw themselves utterly OPP
posed to the principles incorporated into
that platform at Chicago, who ac

more nor less than Populistic principles
and .iltgeldisms masquerading as
Democratic. Yet some of these gentle
men declare that they would stultfy
themselves by voting for Mr.. Mckin-
ley. 1t seems to us that they are I'M
duly troubled and are permitting pre-
JUDGES to obscure the issues, and es-
pecialy that issue upon which Repub
licans ard Democrats, who believe in
maintaining the national credit and

currency, against an attempt to turn
the supreme court into a political ma

such conditions as obtained during the

AS for a protective tariff, it is an
issue that will not be obscured. Demo
Gratis as well as Republicans, silverites
as well as goldites realize that more
revenue must be had. Under the Cor
man Wilson law during the first 90
months it was in operation the amount
received in revenue was less than the
amount received under the Mckinley
tariff law for the first % months of its
operation by $102, 275, 791. We expect
that Democrats will say and doubtless

deficit was due to depression in bust
