TIE PEOPLE
xhs sIipperE Methods of MCKINLEY
and Hanna.

%h0 slippery Methods of Mckinley
and Hanna.
The Mckinley organs are at their old
tricks again. They are trying to fool
the people into the belief that Mckinley
has a well-matured policy for revoIu-
ticnizing the currency system and
bringing order out of the financial
chaos for which their party is alone re-
sponsible.
This time it is a commission into
whose hands Mckinley will place the
task Of revising the currency" A few
weeks ago he sent a Commission" to
Europe to sound European govern
ments on the question of international
bimetallism. This is the policy to which
his party is committed, in a half-heart-
ed way. by its st. Louis platform. That
same instrument also binds the party
to maintain the single gold standard
until Europe consents for us to go back
to the financial system under which the
United States grew rich and powerful
and threatened soon to lead the pro-
cession of nations.
The congress of the United States
alone has the power and authority to
revise or in any way amend the ma
tons currency system. This power
and authority Mckinley would take
from congress and invest in a commits
sion of his own choosing. The purpose
is two-fold. First, the Mckinley plan
is to obscure the currency issue in a
fog of personal obligation in which he
would not be directly involved, and,
second. to save himself from the embar-
RAISING situation in which he is sure to
be placed by the next congress. that will
be democratic and that will send to
him, or to the senate, a bill for the
reconciliation of silver.
There is excellent ground for the sus-
picion. however, that the presidents
purpose is not as broad as either of
these plans suggests. Behind his pro-
| posal to lay before congress, now just
on the point Of adjourning, a plan for
the betterment of the country's fiscal
| system is a desire to help his friend
Hanna. The boss Of the republican
party has a tremendous fight on his
hands. He is running for election to
the senate on a platform reaffirming the
principles enunciated at st. Louis and
commencing the administration of
President Mckinley. The Ohio voters
are asking Hanna not only about that
promised prosperity. but also what Nc
Kinley is going to do for bimetallism.
Six months of his administration have
slipped by. No boom has made it's APP
pearance and the president has been
silent as the tomb on the currency ques-
ton. A "terse" message to congress
now on that question. though it be
clothed in terms whose ambiguity
would bring hope and solace to the
weak minded of both sides, would give
Hanna some campaign material. This
he sadly needs. The Mckinley organs
are to help in this game. Already they
are indulging in surmises as to the
strength of the message on the side of
bimetallism. 1t is a petty piece of poll
tics in keeping with McKinley's and
Hanna's methods. Because they fooled
the country once with those methods
they will trythe game Against. Louis
Republic.

REFORMING THE CURRENCY.
Unfulflled Promises of President
Mckinley.

Mckinley.
Tho presidential horn-tooter who
announced several days ago that a
currency reform plan was to spring in
stanter from the head of Jove is ex-
planning now why the spring has not
been made. The president, it seems,
does not lack courage, he is going to
show this abundantly some time or 9TH
er, but he doubts. 'The whole prob
lem of the present moment is one of
e%xpediency, looking to the future"
To enforce the doctrine of eXpediency
there are protests from the republic
ans il congress. one-half of whom are
opposed to the issuance of a currency
message.
It appears, moreover, that "the prob
lem of the present moment" is "look-
ing to the future with such an intent
gazethat the strain on the eye is terrific.
1t discerns that something is to be
done, but is inclined to think that it
will be nothing startling. Next win
ter the administration bill will be pre-
sented, but, saith the tooter:
'sMr. Mckinley may not be radical enough
on this question to please the extremists,
and the administration bill will not be a
radical or violent measure. But 1t will be
found and adequate, and will have the bet
ter chance for success II It Is framed on
conservative lines."
Translated out of the language of
cant and hypocrisy, all this seems to
mean that Old Resolute, the abundant
" courageous, is pursuing the same
palicy now that he pursued before his
nomination. It will he remembered
that he was a silver man when silver
wa dominant. He was a follower of
Bland and an advocate of the Sherman
law. During the debate over the repeal
of that law he attacked President Cleve-
land, the pre-eminent champion of re-
peal, because he was an enemy of the
white metal, and because the White
metal was supposed to be good politics.
Later still, when the Ohio convention
met in the spring of 1896, Mr. Mckinley
continued to speculate on the political
value Of silver. The convention adopt
ed the worst currency plank of the
year, an ambiguous fiddle-faddIe that
was intended to ''catch 'em a-coming
and a-going." But severe pressure
from the east prevented compromlSe
at ST. Louis. Gold was in the ascend
ant and Old Resolute became a gold
man
Since the election there has been a
reaction, and the president responds,
quick aG mercury, to the new atmos-
pheric conditions. He is thinking of
the elections next fall and the year
after. He withholds his message now
because he is sparring for time. Next
winter he will do his level best to pro-
mote some sort of a compromise. He
will not "please the extremists" Does
this mean that he will revert to the
position Of the Ohio platform? Does
it mean that the republican party is
TO get back to the plan Of half-meas-
ures and vague promises under his
bold leadership?-Chicago journal.
The Houma courier. (Houma, La.) 1878-1939, 1897-09-04

indicated with an awkward wave Of his
hand how large was the contingent up
on his ~liberality.
Now, boys, choose what you'll have"
said he.
To his excited vision the number
seemed to double and treble. 1T may
take a tive-dollar note" he reflected,
reckessly, ''or even more. But it's
worth it,"
The choosing began.
A few people who had been leisure
" drinking soda water set down their
glasses and stepped back to watch the
fun. Ebenezer looked on with a
broad grin. To William it seemed only
natural that the matter of selection
should be a serious thing.
Charley Ludlow changed his mind at
least five times. Fiske was torn be-
tween the rival seductions of strawber-
~ cream and orange phosphate. At
last he appealed to William.
Lord bless you" said William, beam
ing, II don't know anything about those
things. But take your time, take your
time. l want you should be suited"
Herubbedh his hands with almost jovial
satisfaction. 1t seemed very luxurious
and e~xtravagant, all this talk of fruit
sirups, ice cream, and so on. He had
tasted ice cream only once or twice in
his life, and Of fruit sirups he heard
now for the first time. But I'll do it,"
he still maintained within himself, IF
I have to mortgage the farm"
Fiske and his crowd were among
Ebenezer's most constant and lucrative
customers. They were, therefore, priv
iliged characters, and very much at
home in the little place. While Bob.
having yaulted over the counter was
ladling ice cream into the glasses, and
two OF the others, with much rejoicing,
were manipulating the silver-piated
spigots, William called Boenezer aside.
"See here said he, in a significant
undertone, I'm paying for this treat.
you underestimate"

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

Boss Hanna is counting on pIac-
ing several checks in the way of the
democratic tidal wave in Ohio.-St.
Louis Republic.
The laboring men would prefer
that Mr. Mckinley should give them
hot buns instead of platitudes.-Atlan-
ia Constitution.
The fall of the great is mighty.
Hanna used to be the Warwick of the
administration; now he is the scape-
goat.-Chicago Journal.
The Mckinley bill was passed to
reduce revenue by SO increasing the
taxes as to prohibit import trade. The
existing deficit began with the McKin-
ley bill, and the Dingley bill as amend
cd by the senate is six per cent. worse.
IN. Y. World.
1t is significant that while the
wages of miners have gone steadily
downward for the past Is years the
cost of coal to the consumer is as high
or higher than it was then. Who gets
the difference in the cost of produc-
tion2-Toledo Blade.
The hidebound partisan, the
Iowa State Register, says "the senate
has done much to redeem ITSELF"
When one recalls what it has done for
trusts it would be surprising if the
honorable body of has4beens were still
in pawn.-Chicago News (1nd.).
while Secretary Gage still insists
that prosperity is advancing and the
parrot press over the country echoes
the cry, manufacturers are closing
down or reducing wages, and the num-
Der of unemployed increases. Secre-
tary Gage may be a great seer, but
he has evidently been using a magnify
ing glass.-Peoria journal.
Senator Hanna has closed his
Pittsburgh mine because he does not
wish to hurt the miners cause by
operating it." The manager says that
although the mine has been paying the
men more than its competitors it was
not the company's intention ito thwart
the miners" Hanna's mine recently
cut the wages of it's men from 60 to "a
cents. His solicitude for the men
comes a trife late.-Chicago Chronicle.
The whole tariff question has
now seemingly degenerated to a high
handed game of grab" between vari-
ous interests, each striving to get as
much as possible from the other and
each seeking to shift the reasonable
burden Of taxation that belongs to it.
The chief purpose of the bill appears
to have been lost sight of in this
scramble, and the question of filing the
deficiency gap has really become a
secondary one.-Boston Traveller,
