Republicans Fairly on the
Money Issue.

Democrats will have occasion TO con

Mark Hanna.
In the campaign of 1896 the repub.
Leans secured the election of Mckil-
ley by stealing the votes of many
friends OF silver under the pretense OF
favoring international bimetallisR.
That pretense is to be abandoned II
Mark Hanna succeeds in having his
way. The signs of the times appear TO
indicate that the republican party now
proposes to fight for the single gold
standard openly. and not under cover
as heretofore.
In this connection the Indianapolis
Sentinel says: perhaps the most sig
nificant thing in this line is the state
ment of Mark Hanna that all hope OF
an international agreement on bimet-
allsm is futile and that the direct
line of republican ideas is voiced in
the demands OF the straight gold plat

and believing that the way to secure
that return is for the United States
TO establish the free coinage of silver

THE CLAIM OF PROSPERITY.
The d <eat Victory for "sound Money"
tn 1890 Has Not Caused the
Whole Land 10 Prosper.

The claim that we are in the midst
Of prosperity that is rolling over he
country in great. bounding waves, Is
becoming weaker and weaker. The
sonorous cry OF -dolar wheat for the
farmer" Is not longer heard in the
land.
On the contrary. the trade journals
have an apologetic, ''glad-it-is-no-
worse" sort ofat tone. and are figuring
dexterously 10 make as good a show
Ing as possible. Wherever falling of
has occurred. II is ascribed to the war,
albeit rather timidly and weakly. while
wherever a gain appears il is blazoned
for considerably more than IL Is
worth. and attributed TO the natural
Improvement coming from restored
confidence" etc. In nothing does the
disposition TO minimize the bad fea-
lures and maximize the good appear
more strongly than in the compari
sons made.

lays IL down as a rule that the number
OF business failures is an infallabie test

July 2. that journal deals with this
matter somewhat at length. II mild
~ deplores the fact that the failures
for the quarter ending June so were
greater than those for the previous
one, but IL finds some consolation in
the circumstance that for the two
quarters together the failures were
fewer in number than for the same
period in any year during the last
four
