President McIxinley's Plan Is a safe
One.


The announcement that President
Mckinley, instead of recommending
congress to provide for a monetary
commission, as he had contemplated,
has decided TO wait until December. and
at that time present plan of currency
reform and urge its adoption is well
come news.
This is the true, practical method,
and conforms precisely TO the idea Of
an administration elected by the peo-
pie to carry out a particular political
policy. 1t is the method observed in
Great Britain and in France, and it is
the only way in which the popular will
can be given complete effect. The most
successful of our own administrations
in the past have been those which
adopted this policy.
Whatever might be hoped from the
labors of n commission, if made up of
practical financiers, in the way of
satisfying all classes of the people, the
more the political complexion of the
senate as now constituted is studied
the more hopeless the realization of
such scheme becomes. Even if the
senate would agree to Il commission,
which is doubtful, its appointment
would be so hemmed about with condi-
tions and it members be taken from
such diverse elements that all eXpecta-
ton of concord and uniformity would
have to be abandoned. There would be
at least two and perhaps a half dozen
reports, so that after the commission
had done wrangling the dispute would
simply be transferred to congress,
where the battle has 10 be fought out at
the last. The discussions before such
a commission would only have the eff
feet Of prematurely stirrig up the coun-
try without accomplishing the least
good.
Secretary Gage, who is equipped for
this work as few of our secretaries
have ever been. and in whose mastery
of the subject the nation has every con-
fidence, aided by those whom he will
call into consultation, will formulate
a plan of currency reform that will be
both simple and adequate. Among his
advisers and aids will doubtless be the
committee on banking and currency
OF the house and the finance committee
of the senate, so that the measure
agreed upon may be favorably re-
ported.
The plan itself will embody the con-
clusions of the Indianapolis confer
ence, which already have the assent of
the business interests of the country
What the people demand is an inviol-
able currency, n safe banking system,
and a monetary standard good the
world over.
These the administration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley will give them at the
earliest practicable day.-Chicago

FURNITURE MEN TO MEET.
GRIND Rapids Men Prepared for the
Coming Convention.

Grand Rapids, July 3.-The national
convention of the Retail Furniture Deal
ers' association will be held here July
L. and IA, and this will increase the at
tendance of buyers, and will bring many
who have never before visited the mar
ket. The most important matter the
convention will consider will be in re-
gard TO manufacturers who sell goods
at retail, but beyond declaring them
selves, no action viii be taken that will
in any way bind the members. About
250 outside furniture manufacturers
have secured quarters in which to eN-
hibit their samples. This is so or 7j
more lines than have ever before been
shown here. The manufacturers are
hopeful of receiving many orders, and
base their confidence on the general re-
vival in business all over the country,
the good crop prospects. the general
tendency to higher prices and the fact
that retail stocks are universally low.

FULFILLING ITS PROMISES.
The Republican Administration Is
Acting Upon Honor.

The address of Gen. Grosvenor to the
republican convention at Toledo the
other day was pitched in the proper
key, and in fact the only key in which
it would have been wise to address that
body. He spoke not only for the re-
publicans of Ohio, but for the national
administration, and the coming fall
campaigns, wherever national ques-
tions enter into them, will be fought on
the lines he has laid down.
Before everything else, Gen. Grosve-
nor puts the facts that the republican
party has kept faith with the people.
About q return of prosperity he points
out that two things are to be con-
sidered: There was an expression of
opinion that prosperity would return
with reinauguration of republican
policies; and that an upward tendency
in everything is observed as the result
of republican success last November.
Prosperity is returning, though not as
rapidly as people for four years sunl;
In distresses could wish. But the posi-
tive promise made last year, that GER
tain things would be done in the event
of republican success, is being kept TO
the letter, and Gen. Grosvenor chalks
off the list as accurately as tally-clerk.
This being true, Gen. Grosyenor appeals
for an Endorsement of the people at the
polls, and the holding up of the party's
hand pending q fair trial of the meas
ures the party is making itself response
BILE for.
This puts the issue fairly and squarely
before the country. The question is not
as to whether the party in power is n
miracle worker. No responsible claim
to that power was ever advanced. But
this is the question: Can the party in
power be trusted to keep faith with the
people? Gen. Grosvenor replies in the
affirmative, and cites the ST. Louis plat
form and the party's performances
since the 4th of March as proof of his
assertion. The party is fulfilling it's
promises, and the results, he predicts,
will fully meet the general expectation.
This, then, is the point. The people
in November voted the republican party
into power to do certain things. and in
the belief that prosperity would grow
out of those things. The party is as
diligently as possible obeying its in
structions. Ought not it therefore TO
be sustained at least until the fruits of
its labors shall have had time to ripen?
If the party's policies will not work, the
party cannot hope to keep its place. But
they ought not TO be repudiated at the
polls until they have had fair trial
