who were for him IN 1896 when the cur
rency question was an issue are agains,
him and supporting Mr.. Bryan this year
when 1t is not, and has been displaced by
real and vital issues of the day. If as
Hanna. Roosevelt, and their trust masters
declare, the paramount issue in the Presi-
Dental campaign were silver. they would
have no occasion to mourn the loss OF their
late allies. But the latter, being men
mostly OF business ability and experience
have fully satisfied themselves that the
matter upon which they left their party
and went over to the enemy has been set
tied for years to come by Congressional
legislation. and now is fit only for academic
discussion if any.
Indeed, We may say that the most con-
vincing answer to the Hanna proposition
that silver is not dead is conveyed in the
present attitude of the Gold Democrats.
They remember that, within the current
year, the very people who are exploiting
the silver scarecrow were declaiming loud
ly that the white metal had been so utterly
destroyed that, IL whole barn full Of
organs were to be elected they would be
helpless to revive or re-creatc 1t ia the
form OF money. That is the belief of DEM
ocratic yellow metallists today. and it is
based neither upon the recent affirmation
nor the present denial of the trusts and
their political agents, but upon the facts
and the law. Otherwise the Gold Democrats
would stand now exactly where they did
four years ago. They are not to be scared
back to their old position. They know what
they know. and as they have never en-
1oyed the bad company their economic fall
lacy brought them into, and have no rea-
son for continuing the relation. they are
this year with the party of the people once
more.
One OF the most distinguished represent
atives of the class of Democrats who bolt
ed in 1896 is the Hon. Judson Harmon, At

Cleveiand's last Administration. Judge
Harmon's professional and social standing

Politics In Porto Rico.

To the Editor OF The Times:
With reference to the statements OF Mr. Brim
baugh. the Commissioner OF Education in Porto
Rico. beg leave to make the following remarks:
The election to be held in Porto Rico next
month is not the first one. We have seen many
election there. before Mr.. BrumbIugli
dreamed OF getting 5000 from the Porto Ric.2
treasury. The excitement is really due TO the
unfarness with which the Imperial delegates
of this Government in Porto Rico treat the local
political parties.
The Federal party of Porto Rico is really in
favor OF Porto Rico for Porto Ricans' but this
oHly far the political status of the island
is concerned The Federals want self-guvcrnment
which is simply our right, and which we GER
tany can exercise better than these Imperial
delegates They have declared in favor Of the
National Democratic party, and, contrary TO Mr..
Brimbaugh's statement. they constitute the great
est majority of the island. and have the greatest
number of educated people. well the wealth
OF the island. But the Fedcrals not inclined
to support Imperial delegates" and these of
course favor the Republicans with view to keep
ing their splendid positions.
