for the cause Of bimetallism.
Mr. Chandler says:
As 70 the elections. they prove with
reasonable clesrness that II the Repah-
liean party permanently sequiesces in
the existing gali standard and gives
ap the struggle for himet@llisra, that
party will be defeated in the eongres-
sionsi elections Of fsas. sni in the
presidential election az 1900 The
silver nonomesallis,s then viii take

nAtionzl government. and free eoinAse
hill. with silver made the tender for all
debts. pablie and privste, domestic snd
foreign. will pass both houses Of
congress and Be signed by President
Rrysn.
So the pathway Of safety is in only
one direction Mr.. Mckinley WAS elected
only because his platform and previous
uttsranees promised efforts to secure
himetallism. We lost the United States
senate because those promises were not
sufficiently in earnest. and were dis
trusted by many Republican voters.
We iii not promise TO establish bimetal-
lism il we could. believing il TO be
bad thing. but because we believed it to
be geoi thing. II We now faithlessly
abandon the pursuit of that good thing,
we doom ourselves 10 political
snnihilstion. So there Is no hope for

nzsaoas of the weSser1 Hemisphere.
