cess of principle. We're able to poll only
ton of the nominal membership, of
which the vast majority can in the flu
ture be relied upon, not in Iowa and
Ohio only, but in most of the states,
to do what is dictated by wise compro-
mise of procedure for the practical adj
vancement of principle. If the demo-
cratic party is both magnanimous and
prudent in the management Of matters
in the South, no cloud will darken the
general horizon. AS for the silver re-
publicans. they can be depended on
everywhere and at every turn of the
road.
The result of the elections held in
1897 was very encouraging. Only in
South Dakota was there an apparent
reverse. and that is fully explained by
causes that will not be operative in the
next and succeeding encounters. Every
where else, in the face of the extraor-
binary exertions hereinbefore men,
toned, and in spite of the accidental re-
Inducements already described as COM
bining to aid republican pretensions, the
bimetallic forces in unbroken column
advanced and occupied new ground
Kentucky was redeemed and so thor
oughly that the high priest of Cleve-
landism. Watterson. has thrown up his
hands in final designations: the adverse
majority in Iowa was cut in two: and
in Ohio, the storm center of the conflict.
the republican state ticket was sue
eessful by figures about so per cent. less
than its majority of 1896, the legislature
was made an almost doubtful propo-
sition. and a complete and sweeping
victory was prevented only by mistakes
in management that ought never to have
occurred.
But after all, the great gain for BIZ
metallism in 1897 has been in an inereas-
ingly clear definition of the issue: the
exposure of the hand of the opposition:
the enforced clearing up Of the plans
of the gold standard managers; the
confirmation of our accusations against
the hetrayers of the country. the disap-
pearance OF disguise, and the plain APP
proach of the time when. sword to
sword and in the open field. our cause
may grapple with its deadly foe in
. final combat for the liberties of the
country. This result has been due. not
to mention the part played by the pre-
mature confessions Of some of the great
gold standard newspapers who early
found their duplicity rksome, chiefly to
two things:
First-The failure. conspicuous and
humiliating but profitable. Of the VOL
colt international commission. This
failure has operated 70 arouse Amerl-
can self-respect and 70 open the eyes Of
some to the burdensome servitude en-
tailed upon this country by our alien
money system. Bur more than thar. il
has destroyed At eaa blow that con-
Nenient and servieeable pretesne which
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1897-12-19

enabled the gold managers of the repub-
lican party to amuse the amiable conf
dence of the bimetallists in that or
ganization while proflting by their folly.
Lastly. it has brought nearer the crisis
by preparing the way for the step con-
templated by the conspirators from the
first, when, at st. Louis, June Is, 1895,
they forced upon the republican ma
tional convention a financial plank
which began with a weak, inconsistent.
inferential and conditional endorsement
of international free coinage of silver,
and ended with an emphatic, definite,
substantive and absolute declaration
that the existing gold standard must
be preserved"
Second-This step was taken by the
president of the United States, the un-
fortunate hero of the saddest catastro-
phe TO his country. il 1t shall fall upon
her, in all her civil history. How many
men, ambitious of the highest honor of
the republic, can now be consoled in
their obscurity by beholding the hui
initiating necessity which seems thus To
exact compensation for its bestowment,
The first act was a comedy of mar
ionettes; but while Messrs. Wolcott
Stevenson and Paine were dancing on
the sensitive and secretly moved wires
of foreign diplomacy, a tragic denoue-
ment was being carefully prepared with
domestic setting, If temporary en-
enlargement was being given to bimet-
allism abroad. permanent establishment
of the gold standard was being arranged
at home. In a special message to con-
gress on July "A, in the last hours of
the expiring extra session, President
Mckinley recommended substantially
the Indianapolis sound money con-
yention's programme, which that con-
vention itself declared embraced three
fundamental points: First-The main
tenance of the gold standard. Second
The retirement of the greenbacks and
the treasury notes Of 1890 Third-A
vast banking system to issue and con-
troll the paper money of the country.
Thus. whatever the action or attempt

eral effect of the events of
1897 8ill have been: First-To har-
den. encourage and discipline our forces.
