1t is positively amusing to see the

tion Of blmetalism dropped the sun Of
prosperity would be in no danger Of an

Yet now that the Democratic party
eeems inclined to let the currency ques.
ton rest in allegiance for the present, the
Republicans are moving heaven and
earth TO make 10 TO the main and per.
haps the only issue Of the campaign.
They were put in power four years ago

acting on the principle of the doctor who
was afraid he couldn't cure his patients
disease, so gave him something to throw
him into tits, because he could cure tits?
The simple truth is that the money
questions so far as gold standard or bime
tallism are concerned, was settled In
1870 by popular vote, and both parties
have taken up new issues. A copy of
the Republican campaign text book just
to hand puts the tariff, expansion aud
colonialism first in order of import

proposition is not in the Republican
platform in specific terms.
