first make mad The Democrats of the
Nationa'. House of Representatives have
taken another step toward the destruction
of their party. The men who left them
last year because they could not accept
the free silver doctrine would have been
glad to returnto the fold if a satisfactory
compromise had been offered them. But
the members of the House in their caucus,
on their attitude toward pending legisla-
ton, severed the last tie that binds these
sound money men to the Democracy, and
drives them absolutely into the Republican
party. 100 of the 125 members of the Dem
ocratic party in the House decided in
caucus to oppose to the last the Repubi-
can party in the gradual retirement of the
greenbacks and extension of the national
bank system. By resuming their old at
titude as the champions of greenbacks, and
coupling it with the free coinage of forty
cents worth of silver into dollar. they
have made it impossible for that great
body of intelligent Democrats and bust
ness men of all classes to cooperate with
them in the national election of 1898 and
at any time thereafter, so long as they
cleave to the fiat money proposition.

Build war ships? Certainly We need
them to protect our interests on the ocean.
ana may need them for protection at
home. They cannot be produced in
day, and we should not be content with a
naval force inferior to that of other great
maratme powers. But let us not over
look the revenue cutter service. Capt. C.
f. Shoemaker, chief of this service, saws
IN his annual report:
''The usual active patrol of the sea,
quit and lake coasts has been maintained
during the fiscal year ended June 30 1897,
ana IN performance of duty the vessels
have boarded and examined IS, $40 vessels
of the merchant marine and reported to
proper authority for various violations of
law 536 of them, mourning penalties in the
sum Of s149,0O7. Eighty eight vessels in
actual distress, with 623 persons on board,
were assisted, the value of the vessels and
cargoes amounting to S1,217, 213. The
vessels of the service have cruised durinr
the year 1903 miles in aid of the life saw
ing establishment. From July l, 1896, to
Oct i, 1897, 70 lives have been saved''
On this coast many have personal
knowledge of the good work done by the
revenue cutters in aiding disabled vessels.
IN breaking up ice embargoes, etc. In
the winter season such work is often diff
cult and dangerous and calls for an able
class of vessels Capt. Shoemaker says of
the 81 vessels ill the service two years ago,
that there were 10 old wooden bulls, IA
of iron, three of steel and one of iron,
wooden sheathed; and that ''No one of
competent judgment will be found who
will say that the vessels of the service
have at any time within 20 years been cal
culated for, or fit to perform, the duty
done in them. The measure of success
obtained has been wholly due to the in
defatigable labors of commissioned Off
GERS of the service and the faithful trained
and disciplined crews"
Within the last three years Congress has
authorized the building of seven new YES
sells, four of which have already been
completed and are in all particulars swift
modern vessels, and in every way suited
to the service. Authority is asked for the
construction of five cutters to take the
place Of some of the old wooden vessels
now almost past repairing, and it should
be promptly granted.

who are unwilling to look with favor up

President McKinley's plan for retention

after they are redeemed in gold and for an
increase OF the amount of currency that
national banks may issue on their bonds
deposited to secure circulation, seems to

throughout the country. OF course the
more elaborate propositions are being dis

we have never seen OF heard any deiini-
