Truth About the Gold standard q


With great junction tho Republican
politicians take unto their pnrty the
full credit for establishing tho gold
standard by law.
1t is true that the Gold Standard law
was enacted by q Republican Congress
and approved by a Republican Presi-
dent, but both were a long time in
acting. One session Of Congress under
the Republican administration was
permitted to go by without action,
probably through fear that Mckinley
might not sign the bill Everyone will
remember how long it was, during the
campaign Of 1895, before he could hring
himself to even utter the word "gold, "
SO strong wers his silver proclivities.
But it was Democratic Congress-
and Democratic President, who Iaved
the way to the establishment Of the
gold standard by law, Notwithstanding
that the Democratic pnrty organization
has since sadly repudiated its record OF
nearly century in favor of sound
money. A Democratic President, Mr..
Cleveland. induced Democratic Con
gress to repeal the Sherman Silver Pur-
chase law. which was fast undermining
the financial credit of the country. The
fnot remains, says the Baltimore Sun,
that to the administration of a Demo
cratic President belongs the credit OF
maintaining the cold standard in 1893,
when the country was in the midst Of
disastrous panic up to the time MIR.
Mckinley became President. Mr..
Cleveland encountered the strongest
opposition in preserving the nations
credit, but he never faltered. No Re-
publican President could have induced
the Democratic majority in Congress
to pass the bill repeating thu Sherman
act From 1893 to 1897, therefore, the
credit for the maintenance of the gold
standard belongs to Democratic AID.
ministration. The maintenance of the
gold standard from 1897 to the passage
OF the act Of March 14th, 1900. belongs
Jointly to the Republican party and
the Gold Democrats. who helped tc
elect Mr.. Mckinley. The republican
raIty cannot claim any exclusive credit
for the financial legislation of the
Fifty sixth Congress. Without thu sup.
port OF the Gold Democrats In 1881
such legislation would have been i'm
possible.

The intention OF the United States
Senate, when 1t ratified the treaty with
Spain and agreed to pay that country
$40, 600, 600 as compensation for the loss
of the Philippines, was not to Ger
mapently annex the islands. On the
contrary, the resolution of ratification
specifically said: That by the ratifica-
tion of the pending treaty Of peace with
Spain 1t is not intended to Incorporate
the inhabitants of said islands into
citizenship Of the United States, nor is
IL intended to permanently annex said
islands as an integral part Of the terri
tory of the United States.' Unfor-
tunately, however, the administration
adopted the wrong course in its efforts
to carry this resolution into effect. II
went at the Filipinos with n club, and
attempted to force the blessings OF
benevolent assimilation upon them,
with what disastrous results the whole
world knows. But it is not too late
for the administration to retrace its
steps and adopt the right course, and
the sooner it does SO the better.

The failure Of the wheat crop in cor :
tain sections Of the Northwest is looked
upon by politicians In q double light.
In the sections where the failure pre-
walls, and where great loss will be sus-
tanned, the bryan managers expect to
make large gains. In other sections.
notably Kansas and Nebraska, where
the wheat crop IS large, and where the
lucky ones will derive an extrn prof /
from the misfortunes Of those whose
crops were failures, the Republicans
expect to make coriespondingly large
gains, by attributing the luck Of thes,,
people to Mckinley prosperity" And
SO the politicians will &C merrily on,
juggling with matters that are purely
the work Of nature or OF Providence,
and striving to make political capital
out Of them. What nonsense il all is.

object. to the Method rmployed.

As we expected, Chairman CANAL OF
the recent Democratic State Conven-
tion made an excellent use OF the power
vested In him to appoint Democratic
State Central Committee, and the result
is admirable selections, The men he
has chosen onPht to make good cam
paign for the Democratic party OF
Delawate this year.
We are advised that one Of the men
selected, however, Gen. William II.
Stevens of Seaford, has declined the
appointment His reason is that lie
does not like the manner in which the
convention ordered the appointments
made. and his newspaper, the Seaford
News, in Its last issue vigorously con
demned the departure from established
Democratic procedure resorted to by the
convention.
However, there is no use in stirring
up the matter further. 1t has been
differentiated, and several Democratic
papers Of the State, as was their right,
voiced their protest against the sum-
mary manner In which the convention
was iuegled into such an extraordinary
and undemocratic method Of appoint
ing the Democratic State Central
committee. 1t is likely that the i'll
advised plan will be abandoned for
good, and that hereafter the State Cen
trail Committee will be named by the
county caucuses, as has been the Gus
tom for years.

A British naval officer, writing to
the london Times, says that the real
cause of the uprising In China is the
fact that for years the great Powers
have regarded that country as the play
ground of their diplomacy, and have
been carrying on the interesting game
of outwitting each other for a number
of years, without ever, for one moment,
taking into consideration the opinions
or feelings of the millions of natives, Or
believing in the possibility Of that con
certed action on the part OF the Chinese
of which there have been SO many ne.
elected warnings. He argues that the
British policy of constant suspicion OF
Russia which Lord Salisbury some
time ago declared to be exploded, but
which has been pursued steadily,
nevertheless, is responsible for the
whole trouble. That policy, the writer
argues. is oonfessedlY a humiliating
failure, and he proceeds to declare that
the only satisfactory solution of the
Chinese problem will be found in the
cordial cooperation OF England aud
Russia, and he urges the British
Foreign Offioo to utilize the acknowl-
edged friendliness of the Gear for Great
Britain towards securing permanent
settlement of that far Eastern question,
which has SO long been the terror Of
diplomatists.

Make 1t Impossible to Buy Delaware.

Encouraged by the recognition Of the
Republican National Convention, the
Union Republican party will strive
more desperately than ever to buy the
State of Delaware at the next election.
The money that was SO lavishly spent
in past campaigns will be as nothing
compared with the corruption fund
that will be used in Delaware this
year. And to the Union Republican
corruption fund will be added, no
doubt, the assistance oil the Repub-
lican National Committee, of which j.
Edward AddicKs is the member from
this State. How the protected interests
OF the country have contributed to the
campaign funds Of the Republican
party ID years east is matter Of
history, and this year the "fat" will
be "fried out OF them" more sizzingly
than ever.
These protected interests look to
favorable legislation by Congress as a
return for their large contributions,
and the election In Delaware, with two
United States Senators depending upon
the result, will appeal to them with
especial force. They will eagerly strive
for the election of two Senators who
will vote to promote their interests.
And SO it is that greater cor
ruption fund than ever may be ex-
,peoted in aid of the Union Republican
campaign 10 Delaware this year. will

he wanted to secure 1t for certain
party who would be useful to him In
THE Senate. And so he contributed
literally to the Republican fund, anc

in vain, and the election resulted in /
