WITH A SILVER PRESIDENT.
DANGER THAT CONGRESS MIGHT ALSO FALL INTO
DEMOCRATIC HANDS.
GOLD STANDARD AND NATIONAL HONOR STILL AT
STAKE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Washington. June % CSpeciaD.-One OF the
handicaps under which the Republican party
will enter this years Presidential campaign is
the unreasoping and unfounded presumption
that the success Of the Democratic National
ticket will not directly affect American stand
ards Of value or seriously impair the cuuntry's
business prosperity and financial credit. II has
Eeeu lightly proclaimed in many quarters that
with a free silver agitator like Colonel
Bryan in the White House the single gold
standard, firmly established by recent legisla-
ton, would remain unassailed and unassailable
Such a theory assumes. however. that during
the four years Democratic President remains
in power one Of both branches OF the legis-
latiye department would continue IN the control
Of the political forces which put the law Of
March IA. 1870. on the statute book
a NARROW REPUBLICAN MARGIN.
Any careful study OF the fluctuations Of Ameri-
can political opinion will show the folly OF
such an assumption. For whatever ascendancy
the Republican party has enjoyed for six years
in the two houses of Congress it has owed to
one Of those tidal waves of sentiment which
when It subsidies does with such startling
perversity and emphasis No one need doubt
that If the Democratic nominee for President
this year can attract enough electoral support
10 win, the political reaction his success so plain
ly sgualZed would entail a transfer of power
complete enough to involve not only the Execu-
tive. but each branch Of the legislative depart
Inent OF the Government. II is an accepted fact
IN National politics that control of the House OF
Representatives is sure 10 fall in Presidential
years TO the party winning the Presidential
election. IN 1880. 1884. 1855 1892 and 1896 the
same National organization captured both the
House and the Presidency. Indeed, the margin
by which the Republican party now controls the
popular branch is narrow enough TO be upset
by even the slightest political revulsiOn. OF the
35I members chosen in 1898 1876 were RepubI-
cans. 162 were Democrats and nine were Silver
ties or Populists. over the combined opposition
the Republican majority was only fifteen. Since
then the Republican strength has been some
what increased by the admission OF contestants
who had been deprived Of rightful certificates
But on the prima facie returns two years ago a
change in eight districts would have given the
lower branch to the Democratic Populist oppo-
sttion. Moreover in the present House at least
ten Republican members their seats by
pluralites ranging from 10 to 800

The results in these close districts. as append

organization of the popular branch fell to the

bell, vice-president Of the National Newark
Banking Company and prominent in the fnan-

Il think the financial question by far the most
important issue which can he presented 10 the
people this year. An excellent law has been en-
acted; wonderful prosperity. with its consequent
favorable balance of trade. has brought in
creased stores Of gold TO us from Europe. but
our financial position IS not yet impregnable
and we can by means afford assaults upon
its integrity. Europe has not yet learned to look
upon US with entire confidence. and IT will take
but little disregard OF correct principles TO re
vtve serious distrust with all its attendant evils
The improvements which have been so apparent
We're accomplished during the present Admins
tratOn. which stands for all that IS at all likely
to effect reforms in our financial system, or even
preserve 1t without discreditable changes.
Therefore I think business interests arc safe in
MI. McKinley's hands. and ne should be re
elected. AS the other questions before the
country, we certainly with more reason
trust the man who has thus far safely led US
than the man who assais all that is honest and
true in finance, and whose policy on other ques-
tiOns IS merely of negation."
