WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is, 1902

The price of refined petroleum in
Russia is about two cents per gallon.
The oil fields of this country are far
greater producers than those of Russia,
yet we pay five times as much for oil as
the Russians. Is it any wonder that
our coal oil magnates have become
enormously rich? This is the land of
trusts and high tariffs.

The Present Attitude of Democrats
Toward the Money Question

The Present Attitude of Democrats
Toward the Money Question.
The democratic party feels satisfied
with It's record on the money question.
In fact 1t is more than satisfied with its
achievements. In 1896 it wsged the
greatest political contest in the history
of the country In favor of the quantita-
tive theory of money. For several
years prior to that time the scarce
money schemers had everything their
own way. The circulating medium of
tho country, its business lifeblood, was
steadily reduced and business depres-
sion, panics, and bond issues followed
as natural results. While every legiti-
mate industry languished, the money
changers were buying securities and
municipal and government bonds at
prices far below their value. In that
way they were assuring for themselves
mammoth fortunes at the expense of
the masses. The democratic party de.
clsred In favor of the free coinage of
both gold and silver, as the best way to
combat the evil of that time, and pros
ecuted an educational campaign in ia
vor of the quantitative theory of money.
1t was desperate contest in which all
the forces of plutocracy in both OF the
great political parties were arrayed on
the side of the republican candidates.
BY the use of millions Of money they
won by q scratch; they secured the
offices, but the principle for which the
democrats commended was also victori-.
GUS. AS soon as the republicans re-.
gained control of national affairs, they
abandoned the confidence sophistries,
upon which they fought the campaign,
and recognized the truth of the quanti-
tative theory of money. They immedi-
ately commenced to devise plans for en-
increase in the country's circulating
medium. Every power of the admins
tration was used to increase the cOun-
try's money supply, even to the coinage
of tens of millions of silver. The new
gold discoveries in Alaska helped in the
right direction, and at the present time
the country has fairly recovered from
~the aflliction of the scarce money con-
spirayors:
1t yet remains 10 be seen whether the
remedies used by the republicans were
as good as those proposed by the demo-
Gratis. At any event the country has
recovered from its financial illness, and
is not at present in need of any linan-
cial dOctOring.

NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION
Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage
From the Message.

The reciprocity message gave seua-
tors n live topic of conversation, but
so far as is yet apparent there is no
change in the situation. There was n
disposition on the part of the leaders
OH both sides of the controversy to
claim, when speaking publicly, some
advantage from the message. The
straight reciprocity men urged that the
effect would be to cause at least some
of the beet sugar Republicans to aban-
don their opposition. They contended
that many OF them had misunderstood
the attitude of the president and now
that this had been made clear there
could be no longer excuse for 0ppos-
ing straight reciprocity measures.
The message they argued, would
clear the atmosphere render the pres
dents attitude unmistakahle, and
therefore bring opponents within the
party face to face with the fact that
in continuing their opposition they are
antagoniZing the official head of the
party.
I'VE have known all the time where
the president stood on this subject.
and have told the Republican oppo-
nents of reciprocity just what the
facts are" said II leading reciprocity
senator. They refused to accept our
assurances, and professad to have cX-
pressions from the president to the
contrary. The message confirms all
that we have said to them Ii clears
the atmosphere, and necessarily the
result must he beneficial for reel
procity bill"
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close Of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them.
and that all those senators who had
stood with them are still with them.
They also asserted that the presi-
dents interpositlon in the matter had
had the effect of causing TO hesitate
some senators who heretofore had not
taken positive stand against reduc-
ton, because of the feeling that the
president should leave congress to
deal with the subject in its present
stage.
Senator DIETRICH was among the
most outspolien OF the beet sugar men,
and he made an unsuccessful effort to
secure the attention of the chair after
the reading of the message. Those who
are in his confidence say ii was his
purpose TO move for the discharge of
the committee from the further con
sideration of the house bill. in order
TO permit tile immediate consideration
of that measure. There is Still more
or less canvassing of the wisdom of
holding Il Republican caucus, and it
is probable that ultimately oae will
be held. but no date is now mentioned
