Such were the suggestions OF Mr..
Gage, suggestions with anything but
blmetallic flavor, suggestions anything
but In harmony with the suggestions
the Wolcott commission was making to
foreign governments on behalf of the
United States. In justice to Mr.. Gage
it must be said that the sending abroad
of the Wolcott commission was none of
his doing, that if he could have had
his way such commission would never
have been appointed. Mr.. Mckinley ap-
pointed it, he is responsible for sending
it abroad, and while this commission
thus appointed was working for bimetaI-
lism Mr.. Mckinley permitted his secre.
tary of the treasury to work for gold;
not only this, but he himself later called
upon congress for authority to appoint
a monetary commission to formulate a
plan for remodelling our currency sys-
tenn along the lines laid down by the
Indianapolis monetary business mems
convention of January last, which lines
Mr.. Gage followed in his suggestions.
Thus it was that Mr.. Mckinley show
ed such lack OF good faith in sending
the Wolcott commission abroad that the
British government hesitated to act on
the proposals submitted by that COM
mission. not caring to accept proposals
for the establishment Of international
bimetallism only to have such proposals
rejected by the country making them.
So there followed delay, the money
lenders of London who were slumbering
In the belief that their supremacy was
not seriously threatened and contenting
themselves with idly ridiculing the pro-
posals Of the Wolcott commission, and
OF bimetallists in general. awoke from
their lethargy, and when finally The
British government, pressed by indus
trial England, seemed half inclined to
accept the proposals Of the Wolcott
commission, even in the absence of an
assurance from the American govern
ment to earnestly press upon congress
the adoption OF such proposals, and so
put the sincerity Of Mr.. Mckinley, in
sending abroad this commission, to the
test, there came such a storm Of pro-
test from money lending London as to
wither the resolves of the British gov
eminent. So international bimetallism
lies, for the present, dead. Thus has
President Mckinley succeeded in kill
Ing it.

would tie their hands and leave them
powerless to carry out the principles,
the policies to which they have publicly
pledged themselves. And this is what
the candidate does who enters into the
fusion deal with opponents, whereby he
seeks to lift himself into Office by as
sisting others into Office who, holding
principles antagonistic to his own, must
be expected to block his plans. render
him powerless, If elected, to carry out
the policies by the advocacy of which
he seeks to win the SURFACES of the
people. To purchase Office in this way
is unworthy. But the thirst for office
seems to be so great that men are ready
to stoop to even this to attain it.
Politics does indeed make strange
bed-fellows.

WHARTON BARKER ON FUSION.

Politics makes strange bed-fellows.
The thirst for office exercises a terrible
hold over men. To get office by the
sacrifice Of principle seems to be the
ruling passion of the day. Candidates
seem ready to put up with any bed-fel-
lows who will help them into office. It
Is ever office with them, seemingly never
principles. Men protesting to fight
principles, as well as the lower grade
of politicians who make no denial that
they are fighting for the spoils, seem
quite ready to purchase office by COM
promise Of principles; seem quite ready
to purchase Office at the price of helping
others into office holding principles,
ideas Of public policy, quite antagonis-
tic to their own. So we have men in
their thirst for Office, making deals with
political opponents, running for Office
on tickets with other men holding prin-
ciples quite the reverse of their own
have men running for Office on the same
ticket, and aiding one another to Sc
cure votes, who. If elected, would en-
deavor to thwart each others moves,
prevent one another from carrying out
the ideas each profess to represent.
And yet men go before the people
and ask for their suffrage as represen-
tatives of great principles. 1t is not
fair, it is not right, for men to go be-
fore the people pledging themselves to
the advancement of great principles,
and at the same time make political
deals that, in the event Of their election,

A JOURNALISTIC OPPORTUNITY
From the New York Times.

Now there is splendid opportunity
for the correspondents and reporters
and copy readers of the newspapers
to unite in a good deed, the effects of
which would be far-reaching and long
felt. Let them, in all accounts of the
Klondike discoveries avoid using or
suppress where it has been used the
phrase yellow metal as an equiva-
lent for gold" Generally, when the
latter word is used in one sentence,
the equivalent phrase is substituted in
the next, with the, idea that good
English" is invariably secured by
merely avoiding repetitions of words.
yellow metal almost produced nerv-
Gus prostration in the silver campaign
last fall. 1t is a vile phrase. Let us
all say gold, gold, gold" as often as
we need to say gold and get rid of
yellow metal forever.
