the action taken by the National None
tary Conference held at Indianapolis
last January. and attempts to advise
in advance the commissioners he will
appoint that they should declare allegi-
ance to the doctrine enunciated by the
Indianapolis conference. He thus dis
counts the work OF the proposed COM
mission by prescribing conditions and
restrictions.
But the details Of the message are Of
secondary importance only. The chief
point of interest is the Presidents de-
sertion of bimetallism. This makes the
issue between Democracy and Republic
canism clear cut. 1t leaves the Demo-
cratic organization the party Of bimet-
allism and the Republican organization
the party of gold monometallism. There
can no longer be any shutting or evas-
ion in the Republican party. Republi-
cans who are bimetallists must now
come to the Democratic party. There
is no longer the faintest glimmer of
hope for them or the triumph of their
cause outside Of the Democratic party.
The Democracy can accept the issue
with renewed hope and courage. Re-
publican defeat, if not complete annihi-
lation, and Democratic victory are now
assured in 1900.

R1MErALLIsM ABANDONED.


The Register has been asked if it be-
lieves that President Mckinley sincere
" desires to promote bimetallism, to
which the Republican platform is pledg-
ed. and if he does not really stand ex-
actly where Cleveland and Carlisle
stand, namely, for the gold standard
alone
Prior to his nomination for the Pres
idenCy last year by the ST. Louis con-
vendon, which was controlled by the
goldbugsr despite its platform declara-
tion for bimetallism, Mr.. Mckinley was
one of the most pronounced friends Of
free silver coinage in the country. 1t
was a doctrine which he had thereto
fore consistently preached. But he fell
among strange people, as did most OF
the prominent Republicans who had
ought to hope from their party, and he
was told that he must not talk silver
any more. Some Republicans refused
to stultify themselves and left their
party. Mckinley, who was never noted
for the strength Of his backbone, was
not one of these. He swallowed his
convictions on the currency question
and accepted the Office of President,
which was bought for him by Hannas
millionaire contingent. Since then no
man had been able to get an honest
expression from Mckinley on the cur
rency question, until his latest currency
message to Congress, which was not
the makeshift, shutting affair the coun-
try had become accustomed TO looking
for from him. but a straight out decla-
ration for the maintenance of the single
gold standard. without even tire usual
canting palaver about international
agreement, or the coming of the home
product.
The Presidents frankness is
as refreshing as it is start
ling. Heretofore he has obscur-
ed his intention and wish with re-
gard TO currency reform in a haze Of
ambiguity and pretense. To the weak
kidneyed bimetallist his talk aa1 prom
ises meant bimetallism and to the big
oted monometallist they meant mono
metallism.
-rb, ,,,,t,. ;r,DOrtonca attached 10 his
currency message is contained in its
political effect. The document merely
commits the Presidents party to open
and avowed hostility to an independent
American monetary system and prom
ises the full strength of the Organiza-
ton to support of a financial policy
through which Old World creditor ma
tons have grown rich at the expense of
new countries with new civilizations and
new requirements. The message merely
asks for executive authority for the ap-
pointment of a commission whose
duty it shall be to make recommended
lions of whatever changes in our pres
ent banking and currency laws may be
found necessary and expedient, and to
report their conclusions on or before
the first day Of November next, in or
der that the same may be transmitted
by me to Congress for its consideration
at its first regular session.
The President also tacitly endorses
