Of policy which Imposes heavier burdens

contraction Of the currency by retiring the
greenbacks, issuing $500, 200 gold bonds

answer to it. The financial part Of II Ia

pressing 1t. 1t will not pass, because the
senate is not under republican control
Whether It passes or not the gold standard
and high taxes will not give the country
the relief 1t demands. and the current will
be moving stronger against the republican
party all the time from now until 1900. The
National house Of representatives to be
elected in 1898 will be democratic by not
less than seventy-five majority, and Will
lam ]. Bryan viii be elected president In
1900 over Mckinley.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
QUAY is IN A PANfC.--FuIl returns
from the Pennsylvania election show that
the republicans cast less than a majority
OF the entire vote. II all the opposition
had combined the Quay machine ticket
would have been defeated
OF course, as 1t was an off year, the vote
was small. II amounted to less than 1,000,-
reduced vote, as far as the official CAN
vass has been reported, the republicans
are In q minority Of 5000. and The full
canvass will show a minority OF not less
than 10000. 1t may be greater.
II within a year 1t has SO happened that
the republican vote Of Pennsylvania,
typical republican State, has decreased
from O0O--almost hree-Quanters OF a
million--constituting a majority of $4,000
over all the opposition--to a number SO
small that the vote is In a minority of the
whole, what do they expect for the fu-
ture? If the changes throughout the Union
next year, the year OF the important State
elections. is as great as the change from
1896 to 1897, the democrats will carry thirty
or thirty-five States--the decisive States
in presidential elections-by greater ma
5orties than those of the republicans in
1896
And that is the trend of political prog
ress. IL appears to be as certain as any
future event that the democrats of 1898
will carry the pivotal States by majorities
as decisive as the majorities of the repub-
licans one year ago.

reputation Of being the bugaboo msnIpu

quite candIdiy admits that what he term
''Bryanism' b not dead, and that tn,
financial question must be fought ovel
again in this country.
Hi article, which Is well worth the road
Ing. considering the source, was being
penncd about tho same zine that the So
called Sound Money" league was holding
q session In Philadelphia and pronouncing
bimetallsm dead again. And thus we see
how great minds differ While J. Sterling
Morton. the clown OF the Cleveland admin

free silver was dead. except In the minds
or idiots. anarchists. etc, Matthew Mar
shall" one Of the accepted authorities on
the gold standard side. was conceding that
the recent elections were victory vir-
tually for the white metal.
But Matthew turns the tune and gives
us another phase OF the situation, accord
Ing to his way Of thinking--a rehash of
last years complaint about alleged senti-
ments existing In the democratic party
against the rights OF property, and closes
his scare article with this confession:

'ended last year for success. And 1t sue

But why. as suggested by an exchange,

ry and II the people do not remedy the
