REPUBLICANS STIRRED UP.

Our morning contemporary is wroth
over the Hanna letter; it doesn't like it
little bit; in fact, it goes so far as to
call it "a fool letter" 1t may be "a
fool letter." but it was not written by
fool, by any means. 1t is thorough
ly Republican letter, protesting against
the Republican party in Utah flying in
the face of the national Republican
party and the st. Louis platform.
Our contemporary says Hanna's let
ter shows that he does not know any
thing about public sentiment in Utah
That may or may not be so, but Mr.
Hanna knows what the doctrine of the
Republican party on the silver ques-
ton is. But why doesn't our contem-
porary exhort Republicans to follow
the advice of the national leaders of the
Republican party? They surely must
know what is for the best interest of the
party better than the local leaders. Mr..
Hanna is merely asking Republicans to
adhere to Republican principles.
When Mr.. James K. Jones undertook
to make the Democrats of Utah adopt
a plan that did not have as it's object
the advancement of Democracy, our
contemporary had much to say in
praise of the great wisdom of national
party leaders. and how they knew so
much more than local leaders; and it
was very anxious to have the Demo-
Gratis follow Mr.. Jones advice. Chair
man Jones wants Democrats to lay
aside their Democracy and form a flu
sion party; Chairman Hanna simply
protests against the Republican party
of Utah adopting a policy on the finan-
cial question that is in direct opposition
to the policy of the national party and
in harmony with the declaration of the
Democratic party on the question.
1t is very evident that this letter of
Chairman Hanna's has disarranged
some well-laid scheme. 1t is the letter
of man who does not wish to see his
party in Utah go astray. The Republi-
can party is wrong on the silver ques-
ton, as on most others, but Chairman
Hanna's letter is that of a man who
believes in strict adherence to his party
and its principles. Some national lead
ers of the Republican party will be in
Utah before very long if we are not
greatly mistaken.

FREE COINAGE AND INDIA.

The return of India to a bimetallic
standard is only a question of weeks.
Every one favors the change who cares
to see India saved from ruin. The most
aggressive oddities of England are ad-
vocating the opening of the India
minis to silver. The bankers of London
have utilized the single standard until
they have drained the people; they do
not care to destroy the country; there
fore, gold having served their purpose,
they are willing for silver to be circu-
lated again.
When the bankers and the business
interests" of a country unite in de-
handing a change OF policy, the change
is pretty sure to come about. And that
is what is going to restore bimetallism
10 India.
The London Times has been advocat-
ing the gold standard for many years
1t regarded the closing OF the Indian
minis to silver in 1898 with great salts
faction. II says now:
But in all her great industries, textile
and agricultural. India has to compete
with the other silver-using countries of
the Indian press points out how heavily
the artificial enhancement OF her cur
rency handicaps her in the race. The
new industrial era to which men like
Dalhousie ard Lawrence looked with
longing eyes has come at last. But no
sooner has it come than, according TO
Indian economical thinkers, the indus
tries of India are sacrificed to govern
ment conYeniences of exchange.
This is a remarkable admission COM
ing, as it does. from the London Times.
It simply comedies that gold standard
country cannot compete with a silver
standard country, except at a great
disadvantage, and the Times admits
that this view is shared by practical
business men who have at last discov-
cred that they were going down in their
pockets TO help maintain the gold
standard.
Later on. in another article, discuss
ing the same question, the Times said:
Export and import merchants. bime-
tallists and monometallists, unite in
protesting against an experiment
which, in their Judgment, strikes at the
roots alike of productive industry and
Of commerce. Ominous as is the joint
attitude of the governor OF the Bank OF
England. and of London, Manchester
and Glasgow. the common ground
taken by the three Indian presideacies
is still more significant. The Bengal
chamber of commerce and the Bombay
chamber of commerce, and the Madras
chamber of commerce are bodies sell
dom of one mind. Their protests, the
text of which has been published, form
the most weighty expression of Indian
opinion which has ever
reached England.
Bradstreet's Review, leading gold
bug authority, admitted a month ago
that the London financiers are prepar-
ing to abandon the gold standard in
India. In one of its leading articles
said:
Leading financial journals in London
are. beginning to cast significant doubts
upen the ultimate success of the policy
instituted when the Indian mir,ts were
closed to the free coinage of silver.
And again this same Review said:
1t is pointed out that the existence

General Kents uncomplimentary
references to the conduct of a part of
the Seventy-first New York volunteer
regiment in the Santiago battle have a
bearing on the yellow cat fight in New
York" says the Springfield Republican.
THE World, soon after the battle,
printed as news some harsh words
about the Seventy-first, said to have
been spoken by regular army officers.
Thereupon the Journal opened furious
ly upon its loving contemporary, and
practically suggested that it deserved
forcible suppression at the hands of
the Seventy-first soldiers. Then the
World started monument fund for
the Seventy first by way of atonement
for printing as news the suggestion of
regular army men that any Seventy
first soldier or officer could have been
guilty of cowardice. General Kent will
now draw the fire from the World and
save it's Office from destruction at the
hands of returning soldiers and their
friends, instigated by the Journal"
