EVEN SUCH AN OFFICER WOULD

TAIN THE SINGLE
STANDARD.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I think that Mr.. Bryan is stronger to-
day than he was four years ago. I think it very
safe to predict that he will receive a much
larger popular vote next fall than he did in 1896
This may he attributed to many different
causes. The anti-imperialistic sentiment in the
country has added to his strength. The pro-
Boer sentiment is also helpful to his
The action of the Administration on the Porto
Rican question has driven away many Of its
friends. The impression that the gold standard
has been effectively established and that the
election of Mr. Bryan would not unsettle 1nan-
cial conditions has induced g large portion Of
the gold Democrats to seriously consider a
turn to their party. II is very astonishing TO
me that the leaders of the Republican party
should think for a moment that they have an
easy task before them. 1t will be bitter and
hard fought battle. and man can predict
the result.
The sound money element OF the country has
added reason for supporting a gold ticket. The
recent financial law has rendered 1t absolutely
essential that have a gold Secretary of the
Treasury. That bill has removed our financial
system from gold base and placed the greater
part of ii upon q silver base.
Owing 10 the provision for the retiring Of the
S19,+40OOO Of Treasury notes. eventually the
only kind Of money that will be upon a gold
basis will be the United States notes, amount
ing TO S}46.GS1 ,016. All coin bonds redeem
able in silver. the only bonds payable in gold
being the 2s provided for in the recent act
Even q gold Secretary will be unable to re-
deem any bond obligations of the Government.
gold coin, in gold, unless there is enough
gold in the general fund for the purpose, with
out further legislation.
These facts are sufficiently suggestive OF the
grave results that would follow the establish
ment of a free silver Administra ton
The gold element no matter how bitterly they
may condemn those who have deceived them in
this new legislation, must help to elect a gold
Executive. and having done this they will be
in a position to take up the question Of fnan-
cal law again and see II they cannot the
next occasion secure a real gold law.

Plurality

1t is true, also. that nine Democratic mem
bers were elected to the present House by plu-
ralities ranging from "a 10 $50 yet the cleo
lions of 1895 would have shown a decided
minority vote for any Democratic Presidential
candidate: and, cOnceding the Kansas City
nominee the States necessary TO give him
majority in the Electoral College. a Democratic
control is assured in the House by margin of
at least thirty to fifty votes
But, argue those who see no special peril 70
National honor IN Democratic success. the SEN
ate is TO block any scheme to rehabilitate
silver and upset the established standard Of
value. Let Us see.

excitement continues upabated, according
to a report to the State department datet
December S, from Ronald Morrison, vice
consul at DAWSON City. He writes thai
many people are making preparations to geI

over the ice, a journey Of 1900 miles. II
says If all who are contemplating 1t make
the trip this winter, there will be one con-
tinuous limo OF people from Bennett to
St. Michaels. The transportation com
panies have already arranged to handle 5000
passengers. The route to Cape Nome via
Dawson is said to be four weeks earlier
than the all-sea route, because of the open
water along the shore north of the Yukon
river.
The weather at Dawson was comparatively
mild. from 10 above zero to IS below. The
mildness has interfered with mining by
flooding the drifts and the gold output will
fall short of the estimate of 1925, 600, 900.
