public sentiment which is now setting
/ irrisistibly in the direction of the
financial question. The Dingley bill.
already producing more revenue than
its trainers had hoped. will not only be
working satisfactorily as a means of
bringing money into the treasury. but
the business and commercial interests
will have adapted themselves TO its pro-
visions and the disastrous effect Of fur.
ther dissarrangement will be regarded
as more than offsetting any benefits to
be remotely derived from lower duties.
The excellent results of the new law
will be utilized by the Republicans as a
potent argument for retaining their
party in power. and will prove to some
extent effective. On the other hand
the Democrats will point to the almost
daily decrease of wages in the mills of
Massachusetts, and New England as an
evidence that the high tariff Is not a
blessing to the workingmen. All this
however will be incidental. The main
fight will be as 1t was In 1895, over the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
the United States. independent Of any
ether nation.
The lines too, will be more closely
drawn than they were in the last con-
test. International bimetalism. the
elusive hope held out to those who had
not the courage or the disposition to
abandon lifetime political associations,
will have proven desideratum i'm
possible of achievm ent. The question
will be brought squarely to each voter.
There will be no plank upon the surg
ing sea by which the anxious and fear
full politician can float. landing on
neither shore. On the one hand will be
the gold standard psrty-a party which
proposes to relegate silver from the
plane OF money metal and which will
be actively hostile to any further recog-
milton of silver in any form of currency.
The other party will be for the free
coinage Of gold and silver. believing
that the gold standard is responsible for
the ills that now afflict the country,
willing to undertake the responsibility
of return to the old system and conf
dent that the evils predicted as the re
suit of unlimited silver coinage will not |
be realized In fact.

The general opinion is that the Dem
ocrats will carry the Congressional
elections, If they do not, history will
fail to repeat itself. The House of
Representatives chosen at mid ad-
ministration is almost invariably an
tagonistic to the party in power. The
present outlook is that the year 1898
will prove no exception to the rule.
The margin of the Republican ma.
jority in the present House is not so
wide as to make Democratic success
difficult task. Even with the power,
financial, corporate, aud otherwise,
behind the Republican Party in 1898,
its control OF the House was secured by
figures which could be reversed by a
change in forty election districts next
fall.
With Tammany dominating the cleo.
tion machinery in Greater New York,
it is quite certain that the present con-
gressioual representation of the Empire
State-tweuty nine Republicans and
FIVE Democrats will be materially
changed next fall. Ohio. which has
now only six Democrats out of twenty
one districts. will probably send four
teen to the next house; Indiana will
largely increase her quota of Demo.
Gratis; Maryland. which is now entirely
Republican. will return. in some de.
gree. at least, TO the Democratic
column, and North Carolina, which has
now not a single Democrat in Congress
is already displaying evidences of Dem.
ocratic revival. Other states could lie
mentioned where the Democrats are
likely to make substantial gains. They
will be earnest, aggressive and conf
dent. The Republicans will be handi-
capped-as all administrations are-by
the discontinued. the lukewarm and the
disappointed.

All announcements will be published

The probabilities are that the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee about to be organized will be
composed Of large majority, If not
an entirety, of silver men. and that IT
will be presided over by man whose
advocacy of free coinage of silver is
radical In Its enthusiasm. This will be
the first formation of the battle lines
1t will be indicative Of the events to
follow.
With Altgeld s lieutenant, Buck
Hinrichsen, at the head of this cam
paign committee, there Is no question
as to the character of the campaign
next fall. The Democrats will make
every effort to secure the election of a
House of Representatives containing a
clear majority in favor of free silver
1t will make no difference that a Re-
publican President will still be ia tn
White House. II a free coinage bill
can be passed in the House there will
be no trouble in securing the consent of
the Senate. That body already con
tains majority favorable to free coin
age. and if the elections are favorable
to the Democrats next fall in the Con
gressional districts, the same tide will
sweep Democratic legislatures into
power and increase the silver majority
in the Senate. A bill passed by both
houses must go TO the President. In
common parlance the game will be up
to Mr.. Mckinley. OF course he will
veto the bill. but in doing 30 he will
be compelled to give his reasons against
the free coinage OF silver. He will
have to take his stand.
This is the present programme. II
the next House of Representatives is
Democratic it will be the President
himself who will define the issues of
the campaign of 1900 AS the head of
his party his utterances will be &C
cepted as outlining the Republican
policy in the then approaching cam
paign. If he is a candidate for re =
nomination, his political future will be
in his own hands.
