No prt nch of Faith,

There is so little foundation for the
charge made by ex-President Cleveland
that the republicans have broken faith
with the gold democrats by putting the
tariff and revenue bill ahead of currency
reform that even Mr.. Bryan acknowl-
edges its fallacy. Mr.. Cleveland and all
the gold democrats knew that the re.
publican candidate for the presidency
represented the policy of protection to
American industry, and Mr.. Mckinley
made this .fact prominent in his
speeches. He proclaimed that il was
more important to reopen the mills than
the mints, and seized every occasion to
pot the tariff question ahead Of the cur.
rency question. His theory was that
tn. first thing to do was to restore the
revenues and heal the deficit in the
national treasury. then to set abou,
securing such currency reforms as might
be found necessary. The only specific
financial policy to which the republi.
can candidate was distinctly pledged
was to promote international bi-metal.

Of the republican national platform, and
this he has hastened to do by appoint.
ing commissioners. In the meantime
the republican administration is pledged
by the platform and by its ante-eIection
promises, to maintain the existing gold
standard, and this it is also doing.
Where then, is the breach of faith
Did the gold democrats suppose that the
republican party would abandon ia
historic protection policy as a return
favor for such votes as they may have
cast against the Bryan ticket? There
was never any such promise. either

her OF companies are threatening Ia

only 5000, all of which will he used in
defraying the expenses of Transporting

the 45-caliber army rife, recently dis

joined in on either side by those around
and it was finally decided to leave the
question to the preacher. He was

Of the year is seasonable, and certain

derful advantage of being no more ex-
pensive and great deal less trouble
to give than the ordinary formal affair.
The womaH who originated the grape
dinner had man to serve it, but this
is not necessary. In the center of the
table was big silver and glass dish,
into which were piled grapes of a
deep purple and bright green, with an
abundance of grape leaves upon them.

with large bunch of green grapes.
