The Cheap Money Record.

Referring to the republicans, the Char
lotte, N. c., Observer says:
up to the time of Bryan they were the
sole promoters of the cheap money idea.
and it was only because they were shrewd
enough to avail themselves Of the foresight
of Cleveland that they did not beat the
democrats in pandering to the populistic
cry. 1t takes time to get history straight,
but right generally prevails
1t will take a good deal of time to get
history into that shape. And the Job is
quite beyond the Observer. up to the
time of Bryant" Why. Mr.. Bryan merely
emphasized the attitude his party long had
held on the money question. 1t was first
the champion of the greenback. and then
became the champion of free silver. All
of it's middle state and southern leaders
had at one time another advocated cheap
| money. Mr. Hendricks was prominent in
the cause, and even Judge Thurman was
swept off his feet by what was called the
soft-money tide. The republicans COM
bated cheap money In every shape and at
every stage of the agitation.
Mr.. Cleveland has always been sound on
the money question. He has always been
surrounded by sound money influences The
financiers of New York were among his
first sponsors. and were generous contribu-
tors to his three campaigns for the preSi-
dency. Not an authority on finance him
self. he was guided by his friends who were,
and performed a valuable public service.
But in doing 50 he had to turn from his
own party to the opposition party for the
support necessary to secure the desired leg
islation. The republicans furnished the
votes. with but few exceptions which won
the battle in Congress in the fall Of 1893
over the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act.
But we should have had remedial finan-
cial legislation If General Harrison had
been reelected. John Sherman would have
led the fight in that case. just as he led
1t with Mr.. Cleveland in the White House.
He was the great power in the Senate at
that time. and stood more firmly
convinced of the failure of the silver act,
which really was not his. but which bore
his name. He wanted 1t repealed and
would have moved to that end without sug-
gestion from anybody. How much he as
sisted in the fight which Mr.. CleveIand's
special message brought on has never been
suitably acknowledged. His services were
very valuable. and he gave them as freely
to Mr.. Cleveland as he would have done to
a President of his own party.
The Observer should observe little more
closely,

Financial Outlook.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

In spite of the industrial reaction which
is making itself felt in increasingly
widening circle, witness the extensive
railway economies. and Notwithstanding the
apathy of the stock exchange and the in
vesting public. and the uncertainties which
are commonly supposed to be attendant
upon an approaching presidential cam
paign. there Is substantial ground for the
belief that the financial situation In Amer
lea today, IL not wholly satisfactory. Is at
least reassuring. After passing throug the
quarter of the year during which the ,aoney
markets are likely to be put to the severest
tests, and in the face Of conditions of for
eign exchange and of domestic stock trans
actions which were unprecedented, to be
able to say that there has been no panic
and no increase OF commercial failures, and
to point to an easy bond market. is at least
negatively encouraging. And this. follow
Ing the quarter which has witnessed unpre-
cedented gold exports. the floating of large
blocks of new securities by national and
municipal governments. and the eKtraordi-
nary fluctuations In the cotton market. ~ a

Mr.. Williams Failure.

Speaking Of the Chicago platform, Chair
man williams said at st. Louis yesterday:
1T was one of the quietest and most
unanimous occasions that the muses. of
history have recorded. Everything seemed
to have been fixed beforehand. There are
some cOnveniences at a convention OF that
sort. One of them is that the temporary
chairman knows six or nine months before
hand that he Is going to be temporary
chairman. He also knows what he Is
wanted to say, compared with what he
wants to say. / could appreciate that L
assure you.
After reading Mr.. Williams speech the
country will appreciate the difference. too
The deliverance is rambling. slipshod
performance. falling much below the re-
quirements Of the occasion and the reputa-
tion of it's author. There is not a happy or
quotable phrase or paragraph In 1t. We
need not be surprised to hear. therefore.
that 1t exhausted both the strength of it's
author and the patience of his hearers.
He struggled in vain to impress the crowd,
and the crowd struggled in vain to get in
touch with him.. Both finally yielded to
encouragement. and the latter half of the
performance was little more than panto-
mime before mob.
In no event could Mr.. Williams have
eauaied Mr.. Root. But a little more time
and care would have enabled MIN 10 equal
himself He was placed at a signal disad-
vantage. Hastily selected for the duty.
and then hustled away into the back parlor
of st. Louis boarding house. he had but
a few days in which to collect his faculties
and prepare his address That he was op-
pressed by his task and ratified in its exc
cution is apparent throughout. He will do
much better on the stump, and probably
redeem himself He Is bright. though
not a brilliant. man. and those who heard
him for the first time yesterday must have
wondered at his reputation.
Examining so poor performance put to-
gether so hurriedly and certain to exert SO
small an influence on the campaign affords
no pleasure. The absence of wit. the pres
ence of a bad pun. and the haziness of the
whole show how Mr.. Williams labored. He
could not handle even the race question
without a resort to the exaggeratiOn of men
of the Vardaman stamp; and that alone Is
SUFFICIENT to earn for him the sympathy
even of those who differ with him. When
a man of Mr. Williams ability asks the
country to shiver at the proposition OF a
constitutional representation in Congress
and the electoral college we may be sure
that he was hard up for material and was
using gun for filters.

Eight years ago this week the democratic

in vain during the past six months 1t is

sentatives are assembling at st. Louis II
is beyond question that the control of the
convention will be in their hands Mr.
Bryan and the populists will be without
power for mischief. The party has been
newly born. 1t is destined to continue its
great work in this republic. and 1t will look
back upon the past eight years only as a
hideous nightmare. not as part of its ca

Field.

Marshall Field Of Chicago. very rich
and a very estimable man, is shying at the
mention Of his name in connection with the
vice presidency. Probably he fears that the
democrats are seeking an anger for the
St. Louis ticket. OF course he would be ex-
pected to put up literally. but he would
not have the whole bag to fill. The Roths-
childs, through their American agent, MT.
Belmont, and the Morgan-Hill crowd IN
New York. should. and doubtless Will. DO
the handsome thing by the ticket. the
democrats will not lack for funds. That
has been announced for months past. MI.
Hearst's bid looks small in comparison with
what is now in sight. If Mr.. Field wants
a sure thing at the polls he is JUSTIFIED IN
his attitude That is not in sight.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
No man is able enough to get along IN
politics without WISE skillful and industri-
Gus friends. Chief among those who have
been instrumental in pushing Judge Parker
to his present formidable position In the
race at st. Louis have been August and
Perry Belmont of New York. They are
open fighters never taking dishonorable
advantage. but alert for everything thai
may legitimately advance the cause In
which they may be engaged. They are
loyal friends and sturdy opponents. and
when they once enlist in a political battle
the people on the other side may depend or
having an abundance of intellectual cx
ercise. Should Judge Parker reach the
White House the Belmonts will be entitled
to a mighty share in the honors of the
achievement.
