No ONE recognizes more than does
President Mckinley the necessity OF
financial legislation during the COM
inc winter. During his recreation at
Lake Champlain, he is reported as
saving that he expects Congress will
pass a bill making the maintenance
of the gold standard more certain,
although nothing is likely to be done
for the reform or change OF our bank
ing SYSTEM" This is corroborated by
Babcock, who stated the other day
tnat he does not believe the Republl-
cans in Congress will experience any
difficulty in coming to an agreement
on the new currency bill to be pre-
pared. He says that this bill will be
a measure upon which all Republi-
cans can unite, and that there VIII
be no mincing words in the declara-
in favor of the gold standard" At
his recent interview, the President
also expressed the belief that thigh
water mark in duties has been reached
and that changes will now be made
in the other direction" which will
necessarily tend to bring the gold
Democrats in still closer touch with
the Republican party. 1t will thus
be seen that the Republican party

the sound thinking gold Democrats,
not only on the currency question,
but also on the ever-live topic OF

immortality, as taught in the bible,
which he so persistently assailed, he
