Americas Notice to the world.

The vote on the Teller resolution in
the Senate yesterday is direct notice TO
the world that any attempt to fasten
the single gold standard upon the
American people during the life Of the
Mckinley Administration, viii be fu-
tile. The die is cast.
We are not without knowledge of the
fact that the House Of Representatives
might be coerced into passing a gold
bill. such as that recommended by Sec
retary Gage. But, even if that were
done. the public effect of the action
would be nil. because of the universal
knowledge that the House has ceased
TO be an independent factor in legisla-
tion, and has become simply an agency
TO register the viii Of its Speaker and
the gold and bond syndicates, the
trusts and monopolies which stand be-
hind him.
Foreign governments and interests
desirous Of seeing the gold standard
permanently fixed upon America may
argue that the Senate, being only a CO.
ordinate branch of our government,
does not speak with national authority
in declaring for bimetalllsm. But no
one who knows anything about the
American Constitution can doubt for a
moment that the issue is closed, at
least for the next three years, and that
all hopes Of crytallizing into law. what
was gained through ehicanery, bribery.
corruption and intimidation by the Re-
publican party in 1896 has been ire
trieK ably lost.
In his speech at the banquet of the
Manufacturers Association in New
York on Thursday night, Mr.. Mckinley
pleaded for the gold standard legisla-
ton which he asserted had been de-
creed by the people at the polls last
year We may dismiss his remarks as
CANNON and spinach. He did not offer
10 his hearers any plan by which their
views and designs, and his own, could
be accomplished. lie did not succeed
in doing anything beyond driving one
more nail into the coffin of his organiz-
alton. When he declared that. not
Nithstanding the contract, Government
bonds must be paid in the highest
money known to civilization at the
time of payment, he deliberately turned
the people over to the tender mercies
of the money-lenders. as far as he
could, that the latter might receive
back double or treble the value of their
investment We have no objection to
the confessions Of Mr. Mckinley. They
serve to dispel ali the fog with which
Republican duplicity and hyprocisy
have struggled TO surround the one
vital question before the nation. The
people Well know where they stand.
They have the Senate and a ma jority
