REPUBLICAN, HESITATE

That the Republican majority fear
the wrath of the people, il the FL
nance bill is passed in its present
form, is evident from the gingerly
manner in which they r handling
that measure. In the Senate on
Tuesday another amendment was
added to the bill as follows:
THAT the provisions of this act are
not intended to place any obstacle In
the way of the accomplishment of in
ternational bimetalism. provided the
same be received by concurrent
action of the leading commercial
nations of the world, and at q ratio
which shall insure permanence oil
relative value between gold and
silver"
This is a confession of weakness
and shows that the Republicans ore
afraid to go before the people in the
coming campaign with such a fragrant
breach of faith, as the passage Of
this bill will show, hanging over
them. The amendment is pure bum
combe, intended only to deceive the
people and cover up the broken
pledges of the last campaign.
