the skuLklNe COLD CONSPIRACY.

NARRAGANsETT PIER, July 5.-The sub
committee OF the senate committee on finance,
which has been in session here since Mon
day, has struck snag. The trouble arose
when it was proposed to insert a provision
in the bill committing the party to the single
gold standard. Every member of the com
mittee favors such a provision, but someone
had sent "tip' that single-standard
provision would jeopardize chances of the
bill passing the senate.
Who sent this tip over the wires? The
committee had passed over this question in
light and airy manner and was counting
upon the single standard as the first and
most important provision for the bill. The
warning to be shy of the single gold stand
ard came from trustworthy aud influential
source. 1t might have been fired by Senator
Chandler, Senator Shoup, Senator Warren,
or some other bimetallist in the senate. The
republicans will have twelve ma ajority in the
next senate, but no one knows how many are
for the single gold standard. Senators VOL
colt, Chandler, Shoup, Clark, w arren, Car
ter and Mason are all sound republicans,
but all favor bimetallism. Will they stand
for bill committing the party to the single
gold standard
It appears that the subcommittee had gone
ahead on the idea that the party whip could
be used to bring recalcitrants into line, and
had been assured by President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna that there would be no diff
Guilty in passing a bill with the gold stand
ard. They were taken aback when the in
formation to ''beware of the gold standard -
came to their notice. Until the committee
has positive assurances that the doubtful
senator's are "all right,'' nothing will be
done with the single standard.
We submit the question, does the
above described action appear as that
of men who know that what they want
is right and in the interest of the
masses? Isn't it the same kind of
sneaking (afraid-the people, will-get-
onto-us) caution that has characterized
the moves of the goldbug conspiracy
since they demonetized silver by
stealth in 1878? The above proves
plainly that the republican party,
while committed irrevocably to the
gold standard, yet realizes that it
fooled many of its own members three
years ago by it's declaration in favor
of international bin etallism and coin
age on government account" and
therefore hesitates to speak right out
for fear of alternating their support.
F'ie upon such craftsmanship!
