According to New York corres.
pondent, Secretary Gage has written
out plan OF currency reform. but has
not made il public. although be has
sent copies of it 10 bankers and other
business men in different parts of the
country for their consideration and
opinion. But though tho plan has been
seen by many, comparatively little is
publicly known concerning it's pro
visions. Every person who received q
copy was put upon honor not to reveal
it's contents, and in most cases tho
cunies themselves had to DO returned
to the Secretary. Efforts have becn
made to secure cnpy for publication,
fact that it provides for a department
OF issue and redemption, that it pro.
| vides for an enlargement OF the bank
ing currency particularly in tho South
and West, aud that while basing the
currency firmly upon gold it gives full
loyal tender to the silver certificates,
nothing of the plan has escaped from
the bonds Of secrecy in which it has
been kept. Yet it is believed that this
plan, drawn by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, with the approval of the
President, will he introduced in the
Secretary's first annual report. 1t con
tains therefore, tentatively, the iinan
cial policy of the administration. The
reason for the secrecy evidently is Il
give an opportunity for modification Il
further consideration shall show it tt
be advisable.

The Now York World citos the fol-
lowing beliofs which Mr.. William j.
bryan has entertained and publicly
proclaimed for years:
|. That the price OF wheat is do
pendent ON the price of silver.
=. That unless silver is remonetized
and the dollar cheapened the farmer g
products must continue to Hink in
price until ruin shall overtake him.
). That the maintenance OF what he
calls the ''gold standard, by which
he means the maintenance OF a dollar
worth 100 cents, necessarily means q
continual decline In the price of all
farm products.
During the past few months the
country has had actual demonstration
OF tho falsity of these conclusions. IT
has seen the price of wheat march
STEADILY upward, while the selling price
OF metal silver just as atcadily declined,
until it reached the lowest figures on
record.
Mr.. Bryan, therefore, is prnved TO be
false teacher. His financial views
have bsen shown to be radically wrong.
1t would DO great fully for the organi'
cation of the Democratic pnrty to AGAR
accept him as a leader and candidate
for President of the United States. ii,

There is sound wisdom in the warn
ing given by New York banker, who,
although encouraged by the recent bust
ness conditions, sees much more TO be
done before safe ground is reached,
"Now is the time" he says, "when
the bitter experiences Of the past four
years with tho object lessons they
taught are fresh in our minds, to take
up tina currency question and settle it.
1t is all very well to say that Treasury
surplus is all that is needed, but we
haven't Treasury surplus yet, and it
is still in doubt whether the now tariff
will furnish ono. 1t is all very we'll to
rejoice over our big crops and the
foreign demand. But the big crops are
only for one year, and we are by no
means sure of foreign demand next

favorable to this country. My faith is

The Now York Commercial Advcr.
tiser opens an interesting political
topic by inquiring what the now issue
of the Democratic party will be. 1t
holds that the central issue on which
che Bryan campaign of last year was
fought is rapidly disappearing. and
that tariff fur revenue only IL going by
the board. "On what grounds" 1t
therefore asks, "does the Democratic
party expect TO challenge Republican
ism In the Congressional elections Of
1898? Before TINT time even the poor
semblunce of vitality possessed by the
galvanized corpse of silver in States
like Ohio-where the Mclean machine
is spending great deal of money in
tho vain hope of driving back the
rising tide Of public sanity and honesty
will have vanished. Our relations
with Japan. our treatment of Hawaii
and our conduct with reference to Cuba
do not at present constitute questions
Of sufficient magnitude to take the
place of party issuos. What, then. re-
mains? There arc Indications in GER
tain quarters that the baser sort Of
Democratic leaders are inclined to
make the next campaign OH the issue
of resistance to the authority of the
Federal courts"
Much will depend upon the manage
ment and leadership of the Democratic
party whether it can make respectable
issue Of any sort at the elections o.
next year. With the same leaders ant
tho same issues that brought tho party
to deserved defeat in 1896. like fat
will be it's portion in 1898. This is al
certain us anything can be.
With the Democratic party re
organized on the lines of sound none.
and tariff reform, there will still b,
work for it to do. Whether it vii
take another national deroat, however
to teach it the necessity of such re
organization, remains to be seen. Tn
Commercial Advertiser finds comfort il
the assurance that "the Republica
party will not swerve from it's position

tain that the Republican party will d
this; it is more than likely thar it wi
