sion, whose duty 1t was to go about Eu-
rope knocking at the doors of the various
capitals, and begging the nations TO come
to the rescue of the unfortunate American
people. who were suffering the evils OF The
gold standard.
The efforts of the commission having re-
suited in the most complete failure that
ever overlook asimilarly organized body.
the republican party is now compelled by
its pledge to maintain the gold standard.
1t has admitted that the gold standard is a
thing to be got rid of. and has even at
tempted to get rid Of it; but the attempt be-
ing a failure, the republican party Is now
compelled, by the terms of its platform. TO
maintain standard which it has attempt
ed to rid the country Of. This being Sc,
how are the republicans to settle this cur
rency question beyond any hope OF reopen
Ing it?"
Every step they have taken thus far
seems to have disguised the voters of the
country Their faxed prosperity" has
had no influence with the people. Was the
Dingley bill Endorsed dt the polls last Tues
day? II so, was he Endorsement OF a
character to give the republicans hope?
MIR. Mckinley, indeed, Is reported as say
ing that the result of the election is very
satisfactory to him-~a statement which
shows that he would he serene and content
II his party were wiped off the face Of the
earth. He would smile, make maxim,
kiss Hanna goodnight, and lie down to
pleasant dreams.
Those who have habit of watching the
temper OF he voters, and OF making fore
casts therefrom, know perfectly we'll that
the tremendous shrinkage in the repub-
lcan majorities as compared with last year
constitutes a reputation of the republican
party tina; is without a parallel in our his
tory when we bear in mind the fact that ii
has been in power only eight months.
The reacoi is perfectly plain. Mr.. Nc
Kinley did not call an extra session OF
congress with the intent OF bringing about
reforms for the benefit of the people, but
for the purpose of turning over to the pro-
tected interests as promptly as possible
the spoils which they demanded as an off
set to their contributions 10 Mr.. Hanna S
corruption fund. Now this is not mere
pertisan assertion We are making. The
proof of its truth is irrefutable. The extra
session was called TO cater TO the interests
of the protected trusts and monopolies by
means Of the Dingley tariff bill, and for no
other purpose whatever. The proof Of II
lies in the fact that the speaker OF the house
would permit no Gther general legislation
He smothered debate with so heavy hand
that for the first time in history the repre-
sentatives OF the country were publicly re-
strained by one man from performing their
duties as legislators.

WALL STREET AND DEMOCRACY.
class of,newspapers and politicians have
endeayored TO make political capital out
OF the fact that the results of last Tues
days elections were reflected in an I'M
steady and declining market in the New
York stock exchange. However those who
regarded This as good grounds for opposi-

party are those who hope to profit by spe-
cial privileges obtained at the expense OF
the great masses of the people There can
De no doubt that the democratic party and
the principles which 1t advocates are d.
reotiy ahtaEonistic to the chief factors n

are beginning to learn that the interests
