GOOD ADVICE.
What n Prominent Business Man
Says of the Financial Question
and the Duty of Sound
Money Democrats


John L. Cowcn, president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad company, and a
member of Congress from Maryland in
1884, advises his party to vote the Re
publican ticket this fall. He says:
L never more clearly recognized my
own duty as a sound money Democrat
than | do in regard to the congressional
election this autumn. The fact about the
situation is this: The Democratic party,
as national party. is today hopelessly
committed to the free silver IA 4O-cent
dollar and retroactive payment of debtsl
and greenback heresy. The party has
been rotten on finance ever since the close
OF the Civil war. 4 q party il favored
the fat irredeemable grcenback heresy
and asked for the unlimited issue of legal
tender paper money; it opposed the ma
tlonal banks and asked for their abolition
1t solidiy and stupidity opposed resumption
OF specie payment: il took up the heresy
OF tree silver. and today that is the car
dinal principle of the Democratic party
under The present organization.
Now. what can a so-called gold Dem
ocrat, elected on the Democratic ticket
from MARYLAND or elsewhere, do in Con
greSs: In the first place, everyone of
party voted for Bryan and worked to cf-
tect his election. They felt so strongly
the obligation of party ties that they in
vlted the ruin of their country in u tinan-
clal panic greater than any that has ever
yet occurred
A Democratic speaker. if elected. will
have the appointment of the committees,
ard anyone who knows anything about
legislation at Washington realizes that
congressional government is government
by committee. Among the other commit
tees which the speaker woud appoint
would be those in charge of financial
questions: those committees would be or
eanized so as to absolutely prevent any
action whatever in aid Of currency re-
form. 1t seems TO be conceded that the
next Senate will have Il sound money Re
publican majority. If this he so. Il like
majority in the lower House would give
an opportunity for a sound measure of
currency reform.
| happen to be brought into close CON
tact with large financial operations. l do
not hesitate to say that the election of a
Democratic House by the present Demo
cratic organization would have strong
tendency To deprcciate every American Sc
curity, both on the exchanges of this
country and abroad. The tinanciers Of
Europe would regard such an election as
a step backward. aud the tilnid capitalist
would fear to invest i'll our securities.
Capital at home would likewise hesitate
to make new investments. and many Ell
terprises would be delayed and restricted
while capital was waiting 10 see what
would be done.
Everything now points to an unusually
prosperous period for some years ahead.
We have unquestonably turned the cor
ncr left hard times behind us. and are on
the upward road. The Democratic party Is
committed to the silver hereSy. II is in
no condition to he supported or voted for.
l think it is the duty Of every sound
money Democrat to aid in dcfeat ing it.

REORGANIZE THE ARMY
Congress will Have to Relieve Vol
unteers of Garrison Duty as
Soon as Possible.

Washington. ID. c.. Nov. 1.-The re-
quest OF the First Colorado infantry to be
returned from Manila TO the United
States cannot be granted by the war de-
partmcnt. i was stated by officers that
The desire of this regiment to return home
was simply the desire of other volunteers
and nothing could be done. another officer
said, until Congress met and provided
some kind of Il force 10 taken the place of
the volunteers. The subject of reorganZ-
inE tn" army with Il view to securing an
adequate force for the new possessions of
tn" United States has already received
he serious consideration of the President.
the secretary of war and officers of the
army.
The President will make recommcnda-
tons to Congress on this subject. embody-
lng his views and the views of those who
are in position to give him the very best
advice. l. is probable that he will recon-
mend an increase of the army to some
thing like 100000 men. although this is
not certain, ana he may think that 10000
Is enough. There has been some talk also
Of enliSting for garrison duty two compa-
MOS or battalion of natives to each re1i-
ment doing garrison duty in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines. 1t is believed
hy this method considerable portion Of
the restless population of the islands. and
PrmS in the lusUTCent or Spanish armiC 5,
could be kept quiet and law abiding.
1t i stated 10y officers of the army that
the duties devolvinC upon the troops un-
icr the new order Of things cannot be sat
iSfactory to volunteers and that an army
will have to be provided which will go
where it Is sent without complaints Of any
kind. Men who enlist in the regular army
hereafter will understand that they are
likely to be called upon any time to go
lands for long periods. 1t is believed that
the demands which have been made upon
senators and representatives for the mus
Ter out Of volunteer regiments and the dis
charge of volunteers in regiments which
have remained in the service has been SO
great that they will be convinced that n
regular army for garrison duty i'll the
new possessions is an absolute necessity.
