Two Political Elements.

- Tho silver men of the country.
S Thoy saw he by this action appeals to the
- 90 fairness of all but the radical sill
~ followers. and that such men must be

10 and that it is the fault of world condi-
lions and not his fault, II nothing more
.anoible can be accomplished All the

In congress adopt this view OF the matter.
Another element, the gold standard tie
,rblicans. think the president has made
pn;stnke They say the country last year
Con- tho first time learned the great philo-
sorbic truth that double standard Is an
imnossibility. They say the advance when
tha country made in intelligent discrllni-

there had been so much talk OF piheC"i'

did. that any scheme for double stanual.
rests uuon false basis. Now, by appoin.
inc this commission, it is argued by ehi
wing, the president has 10 gretV 49, 49,
undone what was achieved by the yam

in favor of the practicability Oh uouo,
