backs deprecated. Democratic statesmen
in Congress demanded that when that
currency was paid to the soldiers IL
should be counted at its value In gold
That kind OF meddling with the currency
was one OF the causes which kept the
Democracy out OF power for a long time
after the war ended. In lSsA almost
generation ago. there was another cur
rency episode In which Il was the misfcr-
tune 81 the Democrats 10 NEEDLE In the
wrong way. In their platform for that
Presidential campaign they declared IN
favor Of paying the bonded debt OF the
United States in greenbacks. That would
have been virtual re7udlailon. 1t would
be difficult 10 exaggerste the evil effects
that would have resulted from the adoP-
tidil OF that course.
From Isss to the passage Of the cur
reney aet OF 1850 there was incesssnt med
ding by parties with the currency In
the resumption OF specie payment the
Democrats meddled ia the wrong way,
and some Republicans were with them.
When the silver question came up both
parties we're inelined TO straddle II. Both
parties in Congress voted for the Bland
Allison bin and the Sherman act. II was
not until 1905 that the Republican party
yentured 10 declare for the maintenance
II the gold standard. The Democratic
party doubtless followed It's honest con-
victlons In declaring for ls TO l. But a.
though that was a mistake, II was not
an unnatural nor an objectionable one, In
view Of the then existing conditions.
When. however, the facts Of experience
during four years had utterly condemned
free coinage, It was meddling with the
currency In the wrong way for the DEM
ocrats TO permit Mr.. Bryan to force his
hobby into the platform. But the cur
rency will always be more or less In
politics. and, therefore, more or less
suDjeet of party discussion. There will
always be a fiat money party unless the
Constitution IS so amended or interpreted
as 10 get the fat out Of II. And that Is
too much TO expect.

gains scored by the Republican tick

the campaign were settled right?" What
were the issues that were thus disposed
Of? The one which the Republicans IN
sisted on forcing TO the front had been
It's settlement was proclaimed in the most
positive terms in the Philadelphia plat
form. II was buried deeply enough for
all practical purposes before Mr.. Bryan
forced it's ghost into the Kansas City
platform. Last weeks election. although
It could not make IL more dead. may
have increased the altitude OF the noun
tain of condemnation under which IL was
buried In 1896. As TO the alleged issue Of
trusts and combines, II was merely
question Of party records Both parties
denounced monopolies in their platforms,
and the triumph of either party must
have been an Endorsement Of such denun-
ciation.
The country knew as we'll a year ago
to-dayNas 1t does now Just where II stood
on free coinage and the trusts. The cleo
ton returns furnish not an iota of in
struciion to the administration and Con-

Br,an and Democratic Reorganization.

From the Lewiston Journal
There is no doubt that ex-Seeretary
Carlisle is right in insisting on the reor-
ganiZation of the Democratic party. Mr..
Carlisle is right when he indicates that
popu,ism and free silVerism have Gem0r-
allied the Democracy-he does not use
Bryan's name, but he evidently regards
that no reorganization Is possible that
does not begin by regarding the 16 to /
issue as dead as the slavery issue-and
that cannot be effected under the leader
ship Of any man Ike Bryan. Hcke Smith,
OF Atlanta, says Democracy Is not dead,
but he Is sure the Democratic platform
OF 1904 must stand for sound money Hor-
ace Boies, of Iowa is equally solia for the
gold standard. There is nGthihg 30 Valu-
able for the Democratic party as not 20

Newfoundland has repudiated the polit'

tractor, by a majority estimated al one
third of the total vote His plan Of boil
stering up his financial schemes through
his complete control Of the Conservative
rarity has failed utterly. The defeat Of
D'the King of Newfoundland is cause for
congratulation. II required genuine civic
courage to oppose a man who really does
what other party leaders profess 10 10
holds material prosperity in the hollow Of
his hand. The return 70 power Of Pre-
mier Bond Is gratifying, since he has
promised to move for the ratification o.
the IOng-deferred Blaine-Rond convention
for reciprocity between Newfoundland
and the United States. His election, too
Is a check to the movement for the union

New Cause for Gratitude.

The next thing In order II the Repuo-
lican orators and organs are to be taken
seriously. is the long-predicted surrender
and eapitulstion OF the Filipinos. We
have been told from a thousand stumps
and In the columns OF thousand SHREK
ing newspapers that Aguinaldo would
have abandoned his fight long ago but for
the direct announcement OF the traitor
Gus anti-imperialists Of New England and
the promise that Mr., Bryan, II elected
Pfesident. would turn over the Philippines
10 him. Gentlemen like Hon George F.
Hoar have been held personally response
BILE for the death OF such gallant soldiers
as Lawion, the theory being that Mr
Hoar and men Of his way Of thinking had
virtually advised the Filipinos to keep il
up" Now that Bryan has been over
whelmingly defeated and Mr.. Mckinley
triumphantly reelected; now that Sena-
tor Hanna assures us of the continuity of
expansion and colonial acquisition, surely
Aguinaldo can have no further hope from
the United States and will accordingly
lay down his arms and sue for mercy.
We have only indignation for the brutal
abuse that has been heaped upon honor
able citizens because they expressed their
opinions. but we DO hope that the prophe-
cies referred 10 may be fulfilled. There
can be no doubt that our predicament in
the Philippines is altogether unsatisfac-
tory. Notwithstanding the optimistic as
sertions Of the various commissioners sent
TO Manila by the President, we prefer TO
accept the statements OF responsible per-
sons who have taken part In actual events,
who base their conclusions upon intelli-
gent observation and intimate experi-
ence. Such witnesses contradict the suave
assurances OF the commissioners at every
point. They tell us that we hold in
LuZon only such territory as we cover
with a garrison; that no one can
go in safety from one garrison to an
other without strong escort; that even in
the city of Manila American life is un-
safe in any dark place; that armed men
stand at every corner and sentries pace
up and down before the doors of the COM
and well-to-do Filipinos love us 40 more
than the bolomen do; that, in a word, We
have not advanced one step in the direc-
ton of secure material footing on the
island itself or an amicable relation to
its people
If such conditions really exist-and there
are no two opinions In the premises among
those who are in action-and If the re-
election of Mr.. Mckinley will extinguish
them. We shall have fresh cause for thank
ing the American people on the score OF
their performance last Tuesday. For very
many and most substantial reasons we
hail with gratitude the outcome OF the
campaign; but If 10 all this is to be added
the cessation of hostilities in the Phil
ippines and our rescue from the unfortu-
nate muddle In which We are now i'm
mersed, not only The Post, but the entire
country, viii bubble over with honest
jubilation.
