THE MONROE DOCTRINE ABROAD.

The latest vindication Of the Monroe Doctrine
comes from the source whence came its original
inspiration. 1t was British Minister who sug-
gested to this Government the PRONUNCIATION Of
such doctrine. to battle the hostile designs
Of the Holy Alliance. 1t Is a British Minister
who now repeats that PRONUNCIATION. to battle
the supposed designs OF another Continental
league In the former case American interests
were chiefly to be protected, and Great Britain
was inclined to aid In so doing. Now Il Is prin.
cpally British interests that are at stake, and
American support is sought for their safeguard
ing.
This Is the case: Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
speaking at Swansea four weeks ago, set forth
the policy Of the British Government in China.
No territorial acquisitions there were wanted.
There was no thought Of meddllng with the
rights. already gained, Of other Powers. But,
said the Chancellor Of the Exchequer. rising TO
the height Of his impressive peroration In
words which stirred the world as have few
official utterances OF recent years, 1--WE do not
regard China as n place for conquest or ac-
"qulsition by any European or other Power
eve look upon II "a the most hopeful place OF
''the future for the commerce Of our country
land the commerce Of the world NJ large; and
"the Government are absolutely determined, at
whatever cost even If necessary at the cost
"of war, that that door shall not be shut" Re
tween that utterance and Monroe's Message Of
1923 as a writer In "The Fortnghtly Review"
points out, the resemblance IS striking and sig
nifcant.
THE American continents" said Monroe ARE
"henceforth not to be considered as subjects for
colonization by any European Powers"
1--WE do not regard China" says Sir Michael
"as place for conquest or colonization by any
European or other Power"
The parallel Is completed by adding that any
breach Of the former doctrine was to be re-
garded "as the manifestation Of an unfrendly
disposition toward the United States" and any
violation Of the latter Is to be resisted by Great
Britain even, II necessary. at the cost Of war"
OF surety. Sir Michael Hicks Beach has pro-
claimed British Monroe Doctrine over China
And the world-savlng perhaps one or two
Powers which he thus warned off-appauds
him for SO doing. 1T wants very little reGcc.
tion," says the writer already quoted, ITO sec
that the action OF the Government is amply
justified nay that II is a vital nccos-
"sity." That Is quite tire But what then. is
TO be said OF our own Monroe Doctrine? If
Great Britain Is justified. for the sake Of her
commercial interests. in procaming such
doctrine concerning empire on the other side
Of the world, be sure the United States is much
more justified, for the sake not only of her
commercial interests, but Of her political peaca
and domestic security. in maintaining it in re-
spect 10 the republics that lie at her very
doors.

BUNCO-STEERERS AND SOUND MONEY.

The sincerity and earnestness of most Of the
gentlemen whose names were signed 10 the
circular lately published inviting conference
Of Republicans with view 10 harmOnizing the
party need not be questioned The Tribune
has heretofore expressed itself TO that effect.
while pointing out at the same time that the
harmonious relations between the Committee Of
Fifty-three and the Platt-Quigg County Com
mittee was an ineradicable difference between
them upon a question Of principle which cannot
be put aside or ignored. We believe that The
Trbune's calm and dispassonate statement of
the local situation had the effect Of opening the
eyes Of some Of the signers of the circular to
existing conditions, which had not before been
brought TO their attention and which they had
not seriously considered. Their attention had
been directed solely TO the fact that the lack Of
harmony in the party might endanger It's sue.
cess in State and Congressional elections. and
thereby imperl the cause Of Sound Money and
honest finance The overshadowng importance
Of that issue blinded them momentarily 10
everything else, and especially to the essential
fact that the two committees could not confer
upon any basis Of union and harmony that did
not involve absolute surrender Of principle ON
the part Of one or the other. That difference
may be briefly stated thus: The Platt-Quigg
Committee rejects the principle OF non-partisan
municipal government as enuncated by Repub-
lican conventions and embodied In the Consti-
tuition Of the State. The Committee Of Fifty
three maintains and defends 1t.
Now as to the Sound Money question. Let
there be no misapprehenslon no doubt, no fog
n bout that The Committee of Fifty threa and
the organization created under Its auspices are

as fixed and determined in their attitude upon
that issue as President Mckinley himself. AS
has been said before they will be ready to sacri-
fee personal prejudces and predictions for
the cause should an emergency arise making
It necessary But they will not permit them
selves 10 be scared into any Platt-Qugs trap
by anybody's talk about the cause OF Sound
Money being endangered by their failure to CO.
operate with those convicted bunco-steerers.
The cause of Sound Money has not been put
in the exclusive charge of Plat or Quigg. or
the County Committee dominated by them
They cannot stand Off and say: Unless you
come to us the cause Of Sound Money will suf-
"fer defeat and you will be responsible for It,
That Will alarm no one The game has been
played once successfully, but will not bear re-
peating. Platt and his following worked II
with great shrewdness and cunning in me Pres
ldentla campaign. Upon their return from the
St Louis Convention they set up great clamor
that the financial plank in the plaiform-w'th
which he had about as much TO do as simon
Magus had with the Apostles Creed--was inc
work Of Platt and that the party owed lis
salvation TO him 1t was not the time then To
engage in dispute over the fact Honest lie
publcans were too much concerned over the
larger issues involved SO long as the Pla't
machine which had been defeated In Mchin-
ey's nomination. seemed willing to work for
the success Of the ticket no one was disposed
to object to Platt's friends concealing their
chagrin by foolish Boosting that he had made
the platform.
They made the most Of the concession, which
was taCtly granted for the sake of harmony ana
success While honest and unsel6sh Repub-
leans were engrosscd in the supreme task OF
electlng Mckinley and routing the Bryanlte De
mocracy these men were busy throughout the
State In primaries. caucuses and conventions
laying their plans for securing control OF the
Legislature In the interest Of Platts election TO
the United States Senate They were success
full to such degree that Plat was elected with
out ser, Jus opposition. That was the use to which
the machine managers put the Sound Money
question In 1898. They are scheming now to
repeat the game in 1898. They are representing
themselves as the sole custodians Of the credit
Of the Nation and the honor and good faith OF
the party, and denouncing as dsorganlzers aud
Bryan sympathzers Republicans who refuse
the. dlctatlon and repudiste their leadership.
If they are so profoundly in earnest in their,
Sound Money professions, they can easily de-
monstrate their sincerity by abandoning their
dscredited machine and uniting with the only
organization that stands for Republican prin'
clples in their entirety.

THE NATIONS STRENGTH.

Secretary Gage chose admirable topic for
his Lincoln Day address at Chicago. and dis
cussed with signal ability the need Of impreg-
nable public credit in event If war, and the
conditions OF such credit. Those not able to
agree with all his suggestions will yet most
heartily commend most Of his address. and par
:icularly his appeal to place the finances of the
country IN such position that the Government
cannot be exposed TO Gripping distrust al the
very outbreak Of q controversy requiring full
command Of the National resources. 1t is prop
er to guard, however, against possible infer
ences which may be drawn by some from
part Of his remarks. II may be presumed that
Secretary Gage by no means designed 10 imply
that the dstrust Of our own citizens either OF
the power or the good faith Of the Nation would
at the outbreak Of any contest embarrass the
Government or deprive It Of resources Some
events in not very distant history serve to for
tify the mind against such an apprehension.
When the good faith Of the Nation was more
gravely distrusted than il has been at any other
time since the passing OF the Resumption act. a
little over twenty-three years ago, through the
action Of the Democratic Convention In 1896 and
the nomination Of Bryan, stocks did indeed fall
TO the lowest average for twenty years, August
10-the date was enormously given on Monday
as August 10. 1t was just before Bryaps
speech in Madison Square Garden. Two small
banks here failed and two great speculative con-
Germs in Chicago. but almost instantly recovery
came with the acton Of the great banks TO re-
lieve the strain, and imports OF gold were an
nounced within week in place Of the heavy
exports, which had gone SO far after Bryan's
nomination that the associated banks prepared
TO issue cearing & house certificates. New Gov.
eminent per cents, which sold at l1sl1 after
the Republican Convention In June, dropped
at one time 10 lll14. but recovered 2A cents In

There was time when q real emergency
would not have brought out countless millions
TO uphold the Government
Another test. touching more directly the ab
aty but also the good faith OF the Nation, came
when President Ceyelands Venezuela message
was sent in. December 90 1895 Stocks dropped
