HARMONY IN THE PARTY


The work of the mischief maker has
come to .naught. The talk of the tale
bearer has been properly discounted.
Whatever wounds there were have
healed in spite of the efforts of the
opposition 10 tear them open. Fac
tional hatchets have been buried. The
Democratic organization was never
more united. Its meetings are harmon
ious and it presents an unbroken front
to a very common foe.
There was no wrangling, trading or
quarreling in the primaries; none Of
the trickery OF bossism in the precinct
conventions; and a splendid council
manic ticket has been named in con-
sequence. Some of the nominees have
been members of the city council be-
fore and their experience win aid them.
The new selections are conservative
men of the people. The door was held
open for those who had strayed away
with the so-called non-partisan ticket
two years ago. and the list of nomipa-
lions includes some who were identified
with that movement
On the whole it is a good ticket-the
opposition can't beat it, either in ma
terial or at the polls.

QUANTITY OF MONEY,

In his review of American progress
during the last five years, Professor
Mulhall has given the world, through
the medium of the North American Re
view, some interesting financial statis-
tics. They not only shed light upon the
changing business conditions of the
country, but present an argument in
favor Of the cumulative theory of
money, the main contention of bimetal-
lists.
The quantity of money in use has in
creased 1916, eOo, 900 in five years. he has
ascertained. In 1888 the amount was
81, 1913 OOO. coo, and last year it was
s., 6SS, OOO 600. There was a panic in
1898, the elimination of years of cur
rency contraction; it came while the
tariff was higher than it had ever been;
it came when there were good crops and
an excellent foreign demand for the
products of our soil and labor. Values
had been falling until the country
seemed to be on the verge of ruin.
Wages had been cut down to the star
walton point. Debtors were crowded to
the wall, and an era of depression fol-
lowed, the only remedy for which BIZ
metallists declared was an increase in
the money supply. Goldites insisted
that we had money enough and resisted
every attempt to increase the quantity
In spite of them the increase came,
owing to accidental causes, they say,
and yet they claim the. credit There
was an increase of $S15, 900, 900 in those
five years, bringing back a degree of
prosperity and indicating the claims
of bimetailists that more money was
absolutely essential to the transaction
of business. Nor is there money enough
yet TO insure the permanency of the
Enough has come to
prove the correctness of the theory.
More is needed to place the country on
a solid basis of permanent prosperity.
Silver men propose to increase the
quantity still more Goldites have
measures already drafted to restrict the
circulation and limit the supply still
more. This is the position of the two
national parties today. as it was three
years ago, and while the Democratic
position is strengthened by the evidence
of circumstances over which the ad-
had no control, Republi-
cans are claiming credit for the good
results which have followed.

DEWEY AND HANNA.

fore the people of this republic that
must be settled. 1t will net do to al

would like to see Dewey nominated.
who are clamoring for his election to
the presidency every day. They feel
that the books would be closed and
new accounts opened with the new
century; that his election would be
something larger and better than a
party victory; that the country might
again be united with sectional differ
ences and class .prejudices wiped out.
The people are sincere in this, too But
Chairman Hanna of the national Re
publican organization says cit is in

to consider him in connection with this
high Office. Mark wants Mckinley. He
knows how to handle him. The adj
lniral is an entirely different PROPOSE
ton. 1t isn't likely that the Ohio boss
would be able to control him as he
does the man from Canton. So the
public understands when Marcus says:
ITO force upon this brave and gallant
sailor the necessity of again and again
declaring he will not accept any politicaf

places this. man of Integrity stern pur-
pose and determination in the ranks of

fellow-citizens who would like to see
Dewey nominated for the presidency

NASH ON THE TRUST ISSUE.

The Republican candidate for COVER
nor Of Ohio. being the local standard
bearer of Hanna and Mckinley in their
home state, has sounded the key note
of his party on the trust question.
The platform may declare against ''un-
lawful combinations of capital in re-
sIraint Of trade" but the record of the
party is such that most Republican
leaders are beginning a systematic de-
Tense OF trusts. 1t may be impossible
10 deceive the people on the party's
attitude, therefore 1t is just as well to
Try 10 convince them that trusts are
good things and that the Republican

the present national administration are
beginning TO take this view of the
octopus. within year they Will have

pNsINCERITY EXPOSED.

It would seem a trifie inconsistent for
any other than our morning contem-
porary to make such a show of virtuous
indignation over the vanishing system
of polygamv in Utah while expressing
infinite satisfaction with the presidents
agreement with the sultan of Sulu
which permits polygamy to be prac-
ticed in the Philippines under the pro-
lection of the stars and stripes.
The people Of Utah are a moral. up
right, law-abiding people, as honest
and as patriotic as may be found in any
state or country. The system of polyg
amy which obtained for a half century
in this commonwealth has been aban-
doned, and, while old ties cannot be
severed, or old relations broken, while
human nature cannot be changed or
human passions destroyed by legal en-
actments.. the practice is dying out
and the younger generations are grow
ing up with different ideas and under
different conditions And so it seems
a little strange to observe one who is
familiar With these facts put in half
his time denouncing the people of Utah
and the other half applauding the
course of the president in relation to
the Sulus. The Cincinnati Enquirer
calls off the politicians and the people
who have been paying so much atten-
ton to "a single instance in this coun-
Try When thousands and tens of thou
sands are practicing polygamy in Sulu
under the approval and protection OF
the United States
The Enquirer makes no defense of
the system. but it does say that no
one can be sincere in warning upon it
who endorses and approves the presi-
dents policy in the Philippines. It
states the ease as follows:
