An Appeal To Patriotism.

San Antonio, Jan. 2S.-S. ID.
Scudder, chairman National Com
mittee of Democratic Clubs, has
issued the following address:
To Our llow-Countrymen: The
people of these United States, by a
large majority, have now spoken in
an emphatic way for a money stand
ard commensurate with our position
among the nations of the world.
The particular proposition for the
unlimited coinage of silver at the ra-
tito of Is to must be known in the
future history of this country as the
boldest attempt at special, or class,
Legislation ever submitted TO the suf-
frage of a patriotic and enlightened
people.
Many of those who recently voted
for it will in time recognize the great
difference between this scheme to
enrich a few mine owners Indirectly
benefiting few mining interests of
the United States) and the original
proposition of the Populists, whose
idea for the unlimited purchase of
silver by the Government and COIN
age of same at the ratio of is to l
tthus giving the whole nation the
benefit of the profits) was, at least,
consistent with all the other paternal
theories of the Peoples party.
1t is already evident that the silver
holding and silver-working interests
in the United States, linked together
by a well-organized silver league,
and provided with plenty of money,
propose TO continue taking advan-
tage of the so-called "silver senti-
ment of a large number of our peo-
pie" and that Mr.. Bryan will be the
leader of that league.
Thus, occupying his wonted middle
position between the Popocratic and
Populist parties, he will endeavor
again to unite them under a PROPOSE
ton similar to that one just voted
down by large majority of the peo-
pie, who have refused to consider
party lines pending the settlement of
this national question.
But already the executive leader
of the Peoples party has refused to
continue the late alliance, and, if we
give Mr.. Bryan credit for the same
honesty which we ask for ourselves,
We do not see how he can much long
er refuse to go over entirely to that
organization, where it would seem he
really belongs.
III we concede to our old-time po-
litical comrades throughout the
United States the same fair minded
ness which We claim as an integral
part of our own patriotic desire for
the advancement of our beloved
country, then we must come to this
conclusion, that thousands of them,
impelled to vote for Bryan-not be-
cause they believed i'm his free-silver
theories, but simply because they
believed him to be the regular NOM
inee"-will now see the error of that
step and join with us i'm our sincere
deliberations for this nations good.
1t must be apparent to them that
the movement at indianapolis was
born of lofty patriotism.
1t must be evident to them that the
delegates there assembled from near
ly every State in the Union, repre-
senting men from the farm, from the
workship, from the railroad, from the
store and office, were actuated by the
noblest of purposes.

The Great Ball.

Especial Dispatch to Commercial Tribune.
New York, Jan. 31.-Hospitality
without motive is of great rarity
among the society people of New
York. There is a constant struggle
going on in these circles for su-
premacy and exclusiveness, and but
few entertainments are given that
have not some direct and well-de-
fined object in view on that line.
The first question asked when one
hears a rumor of some dance, ball
or dinner is, "Why?"
AS to the Bradley Martin ball, it
is said that Mrs. Martins real rea-
son for giving it is to excel the
William b. Vanderbilt ball, and to
stand pre-eminent as the most law
ish entertainer New York has ever
known. People here say that the
criticism given Mrs. Martin and her
desire to entertain her friends in
her own way will drive her back to

to shoot him. He left them. They
wailowed around in the snow l

"QuIEr people avoid the question
of the presidency, for there will be
new election in three years and a
half, and party feelins runs very

ture of this institution being, that

election is over, the acrimony of

Cages Views.

New York, Feb. IA special to
the World from Chicago says: The
World submitted in writing to Mr..
Lyman j. Gage a number of ques-
tions concerning the most vital is
sues with which he will deal as
Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Gage, with great candor and
courtesy, makes his position quite
clear on all of them as follows:
sour whole monetary system is
the resultant of makeshift legisla-
tion and scientific compromises. 1t
is time that reform began.
I'm my opinion the greenbacks
should be permanently retired. The
The silver purchased under the
Sherman act should be gradually
sold and the Treasury notes re-
deemed and cancelled. Some we'll
guarded system of bank note cir
culation, broader and more elastic
than the present national bank act
provides, should be inaugurated.
"Such bank notes should be re-
deemable at a central place and be
redeemable in gold only.
"Silver certificates, which form
nearly one fifth of the circulating
medium of the United States, are
dangerous. By their use volume
of inferior money has found an alb
rmal use. They are the most per-
o. king feature in the much-in-
we'd problem of our national fl
noes.
There is no reason why the Gov
ment should act as warehouse
for either gold or silver. Such
a junction is outside its proper
limit of action.
"But we are faced by IA condi-
ton. The enormous amount of
$500. 100000 of silver, represented
by $33S,000,000 in silver certiti-
Gates, added to the $l50,000, 900
purchased by the Government I'M
der the Sherman act, constitutes a
standing menace to every business
interest.
$40 sum up, the defects of our
present currency system are:
"First-Confusing heterogenity
which needs simplitication.
"Second-The greenback contro-
verts the principle of paper money,
viz: That every note injected into
the commercial system should rep
resent an existing commercial val
ne.
"Third-The Treasury note is a
standing evidence of a foolish OPP
eratiOn-the creation of debt for
the purchase on falling market
of a commodity for which the pur-
chaser has no use; it lies open to
the just charge of being both idiot
ic and immoral.
"Fourth-The national bank note
nearly conforms to the true princi-
pie of paper money, but the IN
reasonable requirements for securi-
ty paralyze its efficiency and oper-
ate to destroy Its elasticity.
"Fifth-The silver certificate
encourages the use of silver to
larger extent than is consistent
with the safe preservation Of that
metal on parity with gold"
"Would a national commission
help to promote reform?"
There is reason to hope that it
would be of great service in that
direction. Such a commission if
rightly elected would throw food
of light upon these involved ques-
tions. The Information it might
gather would be of immense value
to all our people and would guide
us to wise legislation.
Emotion and sentiment are not
safe guides in matters of science.
A clear apprehension of true prin-
ciples will lead to correct action.
Reaction will be slow, but it is
coming, and it will be of long du-
ration"
