Bryan is wrong and radically so on every
thing that relates to finance. Almost all
the positions he took in the last cam
paign have been proved to be incorrect
by actual experience. Silver has gone
down and wheat up, notwithstanding he
asserted that silver AMI wheat were
tied together, and the latter could not
part of the latter. Instead of general
bankruptcy which he predicted Eas the
outcome of the esta blishment ofIthe gold
standard, there has been reviving pros
perity, business has improved and the
number of failures has shown marked
falling off. Nothing has happened which
he said would happen. There never was
more discredited{ teacher than he, yet
with cl = acteristic effrontery he still
essays to preach finance and to predict
rs to the future The only thing which
can save him from utter oblivion
is the prostration of business and
industry, and knowing that, he
catches up every failure and every reduc-
ton of wages, and parades them with
a sort of ''ghoulish glee.' Solicitors
though he claims to be about the welfare
of the masses, nothing would suit him
quite so well today as to see those very
masses plunged into misery and desti-
tuition by general collapse of business
and industry, for then, he thinks, they
would turn to him as their savior and
swallow his quack remedies.

CURRENT COMMENT.
SPEAKER REEDS EPIGRAMS.
Springfield Republican,

There is more public interest in the
occasional philosophical remarks Of
Speaker Thomas b. Reed of Maine than
in those Of any other American states
man. This is because the American PEG.
pie recognize in him the most intellec-
taal man in public life, as we'll IS the
wittest and brightest. Wherefore we
Gull from Mr.. Reeds recent address
in Philadelphia on Stephen Girard, the
following sayings:
No progress which did not lift all, ever
lifted any.
eve must all move, but we must all keep
together.
The generation in which he lives can
seldom understand the really great man.
We live for today, and he lives for day
after today.
We're this the proper time, could show
that wars-and wars ought to be
abolished forever from the face of the
earah-that pestilences-and the time is
coming when they will be no more-the
prosecutions and inquisitions-and liter
ty of thought is the richest pearl of life
-that all these wars, pestilences and
prosecutions were but helps to the
I'm ty of mankind.
f the lofty and the learned do not lift
us up, we drag them down.
The overruling Providence, of which
we talk SO much aud know SO little.
In these sentences one finds the
epigra nmatic quality that is 30 charac
teristic OF Mr.. Reeds mode OF expression.
The sayings that will live longest,
however, are those that are tipped with
a flashing wit. Thus the quotation
about the great man, while veil said, is
not uncommon in its brillianoy, but
when Mr.. Reed remarked, with this same
idea in mind, yet from different point
of view, "a statesman il politician
who is dead he gave the world what
has already become a classic and Will
live as long as the mordent saying of
Voltaire. Some one should take pains
to collect Mr.. Reed 8 epigrams, witticisms
and retorts. as they have been uttered
during the past Is years. We have &
very small collection on hand, but they
are too we'll known for the most part to

The principal speech at Mr.. Sweetsir's
Jacksonian banquet appears to have been
made by DR.. 8. G. Gordon, and it was
chiefly devoted to the glorification OF
Tammany, which the Doctor pronounces
1.-The strongest political organization in
the country and the most honest as we'll. "
His audience first thought this statement
was intended as joke, but the Doctor
insisted that he was. in earnest, and so
we must consider it to be the Doctor S
serious and deliberate opinion that Tam
many is the most honest political organ
ization in the country. In another part
of this speech the Doctor said that when
'tyou find Democrat in Maine you
find one of the purest kind" which is
equivalent to saying that he is of the
''purest kind" 1t appears therefore that
the purest kind of Democrat thinks Tam
many the most honest political organiza-
ton in tine country. We have got an in
fallible test now for determining when
q Democrat is OF the purest kind.

The latest reports from Columbus indi-
cate that Mr.. Hanna is likely to get back
enough of the boiling Republicans to Sc
cure his election. Griffith, who has been
going from one side to the other since the
fight began, JUST now says he is on
Hanna's side, having found out that the
alleged indignitiss to his wife were unin-
territorial. Whether he will stay where. he
now is, is doubtful. however. 1t depends
very much on what his wife thinks. If
she is still against Hanna Griffith will in
all probability face about again as soon
as he gets within the sphere of her influ-
euca.

The silver men appear to be preparing
to push their theories 10 the front again
in the congressional elections next fall.
This Is not unwelcome news, for with
silver the issue, the Republicans have
far better chance of success than if some
other issue were forced TO the 'front.'. Unless
the teachings of experience are worth moth
ing, silver cannot be SO strong now as 1t
was year ago. Then the theories of
the silver men had not been actually
disproved by events; now they have been.

The Biddeford Journal says civil SER

The Biddeford journal says civil SER
vice reform has run beyond practicability.
Apparently the last Republican national
convention didn't think SO, inasmuch
as it promised to extend it. 1t is very
curious that reform SO full of absurd
tiles and that SO needs modification as
is now alleged, should have been pointed
to with pride by the same convention.
1t S curious. too, that one of the
earliest acts of the Republican President
should have been to extend it and make
the tenure of office holders more secure

There is no particular sense in that
champion of free silver, the Hon. William
J. Bryan, clarifying Andrew jackson.
jackson had no sympathy with any of the
economic doctrines Mr.. Bryan is preach
ing. 1t was really during his admins
tration that the reign Of the gold stand
ard began in this country. 1t was
in his administration that silver was
practically denometized. The act of 1873,
which the Bryanites are so fond of max
ing the scapegoat of all our ills, merely
accepted and recognized a condition
which mad existed since the administra-
ton of Andrew jackson took some of the
gold out of the gold dollar and drove the
silver dollar out of the circulation. It
would be just as sensible for the Bryanites
to glorify John Sherman as Andrew
Jacskon, as far as any sympathy for their
financial theory is concerned. Jackson
really did more to fix the gold standard
upon this country than any. other
President either before or after him.
