From all over the country. north and
south, east and west. there comes the de-
mand for currency reform. The people
are ranging themselves, and until the
issue is determined there can be but two
political parties In the field. The one is
for the sold standard and the retirement
OF the greenbacks; the other is for the
silver standard and the continuance OF
the greenbacks. The silverites may as
well come out into the open and declare
themselves. They can no longer mislead
and delude the people with palterlng and
shufiing talk about bimetaTism. They
mean silver monome,allism and they
know It, and meaning 1t. let them have
the courage Of their convictions and say
it. This is the issue before the people,
and nothing has done SO much to clear
the air and make the question plain as
the presidents courageous and timely
speech to the manufacturers. This. and
the decisive vote of the house of repre-
sentatives on the Teller resolution puts
the matter squarely before the country.

Bryan in the campaign OF 1895 used the
same line Of argument and supposed
almself never to be more convincing than
whom ne quoted from the ISIS speeches
OF Mr.. Carlisle, MIR. Blaine ami other pub
lie men ot that time
But events have moved tar indeed from
that time and conditions both economic
and commercial. are as different today
from those Of 1875 as those OF 1873 are
from any other preceding period. What
might have been conslderci possible or
probable twenty wears aso is now i'm.
possible.
In ISIS the silver question was new.
We were just emerging from long period
OF Irredeemable paper currency and any
kind or coin looked sound and substantial
after that experience, The vas, produc-
tiOn OF silver had not made itself felt In
the markets Of the Norld SO as to create
alarm IN the public mind and Il was no,
an unreasonable thing Tor American
statesmen to believe tha, a larger coinage
OF silver by the government os the United
States would no, only be an advantage
Tor the people gIylns them at all events
a better money than the sreenbacks. but
that 1, would restore the parity OF silver
and eold at the then established ratio.
Opinions based On one state q facts.
however, are no longer valid when the
facts have changed. What was sup
posed would be the result o: the Bland
Alison law did not materiallze. nor did
the s,il more liberal sherman act OF lSo
produce anything better. ON the con.
trary, these laws brought the country to
he brink OC financial chaos. and it has
not ye, recovered from their effects,
Statesmen are only such as they learn
md profit by experience, and Il anything
has been proved by the eyeats ,ranspir-
ms since 1873 it is that the arguments
lnd opinions concerning silver at that
lines have been utterly discounted and
1t is TO their credit, therefore. that
many sound money statesmen ot today

ect they held twenty years ago. They L

The people OF Astoria appreciate the
honor OF the selection made for the place
Of the state convention, and it will be
their earnest endeavor to send every dele
gaze and visitor back TO his home with an
Increased respect for the Importance Of
the city and the dignity and intelligence
OF its citizens. There is, however. no
sense in the talk beginning to be beard
about the necessity for raising large funds
for the entertainment Of the convention.
A certain amount OF money is required. to
be sure. for the hire Of the hall in which
the convention will be held. and for other
essential conveniences incident TO the ac-
tuaI deliberations and business OF the
delegates. Beyond this. there IS no ocea-
sion for the public expenditure Of one
cent Of money. nor is such thing usual
in cities where conventions are commonly
held. The delegates who will be
sent to the convention do not expect any
elaborate entertainment from the cltl-
zens Of Astoria. They viii consist for
the most part. 1t is to be hoped. Of men
who leave their respective homes under
a sense Of important public busi-
ness; which receiving their earn
est and patriotic consideration for so long
a time as 1t may absolutely require their
snention. and being despatched, they will !
Tejoin their wives and children and re-
sumo their regular occupations and busi-
ness at the earliest possible moment. Such
win be the kind Of men who come to the
convention as its duly accredited del
egates. provided the republican voters OF
Oregon fully realize the peculiar periis
which involve their state and nation,
and select men who are capable Of
appreciating the Importance and gravity
Of the occasion which calls them together.
II those who propose to flock to the scene
Of the convention as mere idle spectators
Or wire pullers for candidates and work
srs' for schemlng politicians have a desire
to get drunk, or otherwise manifest the
hilarity Of their release from the ordinary
restraints of domestic or social relations
let them do so at their own expense. o.
that of the politicians who invite them
hither Let us hear no more of this
gable about raising a large amount Of
money for the entertainment Of the re-
publican state convention

The CUBAN SUFFERERS.

We alluded, several days age
To the terrible condition of the
Cuban insurgents, and suggested
that it would be an act of obliga-
tory kindness TO aid them as they
have brought very much money
into these Islands, by destroying
the sugar production of Cuba.
The last mail from Washing
ton brought the suggestion from
several persons. that, in view of
the intense feeling in the United
States, on behalf of the Cubans.
it would be even more than a mere
act of generosity. if this com
munity would render some mater
ial aid TO these unfortunate peo-
pie.
No community has received
more gifts, without making an
adequate return from them. than
this. While the people of Ameri-
ca are yet under financial pres
sure. and many thousands of per
sons. even millions. have suffered
during the last four years. from
the stagnation of trade. these very
people have. by their Legislative
acts, kept the people of these Isl
ands, in a state of great, even
prosperity. And they !
are becoming aware of what they |
have done. From rather sell
fish standpoint, therefore. it is
well to show them that we are
with them in their sympathy and |
aid for Cuban independence.
Even a luau, in behalf of these
people, might combine
the business of charity with the
pleasure of living.
