There seems to be difference of opinion whatever as to the cause. The most conservative men and the * most conservative newspapers frank- ly contess that thereis not a sufficient volume of money incirculation: that the expanding business of the country has created a greater demand for our established medium of exchange than can be met by the supply. LymanJ Gage admits this when he will immediately deposit with nation- el banks $30,000,000 to 0,000,- 000 of government bonds. That to say, he will rush to aid these in- stitutions and sustain them tempo- rarily without interest and without security. The private individual who gets his affairs ina muddle must straighten them out himself, but the banker, being a sort of federal ward, seldom ealls upon Washington in vain. It is a striking coincident a coinci- dence which future generations will point to astonished, that while Wall street was in its most feverish condi- tion yesterday a bill was passed by the house of representatives at Washington looking to a further con- traction of the currency. Suppose at this season of the year, while crops still transportation facilities are inade- quate at best, we had two kinds of freight cars in use, one-half made of oak and the other half made of ma- hogany. And then suppose that, on the ground that mahogany cars are the best cars, being composed of the most valuable that the American shipper is entitled to the best that is going, that a dishonest ear should not be forced upon him, railroad companies should send all their oak cars to the junk heap. It is very likely that we would have a ear “stringency” in thiscountry, that vaiue, money question. Its essential part was as follow: “Weare therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by inter- nationa reement with the leading commer of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote no 1 nations a and until such agreement can be ob- tained, the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained ata parity with gold, ete. it is strange that so manifest an inciacerity should have deceived any- body. Clearly, if the gold standard was desirable, the silver was undesirable, however cured. If the gold standard was right free coinage of silver must be wrong. Nobody could intelligently and hon- estly demand the international free coinage of silver and at the same time exrpess such emphatic satisfac- tion with the gold standard as an al- ternative. Asa matter of fact, this declaration was intended as defi- nite assurance to the speculative banks and their allies, that the re- publican party, if successful in the election, would proceed with all polit- ic speed to the establishment of the single gold standard in all its rigor. NEVE OBSERVED. The promise to ‘promote’ the in- ternational free coinage of siver was never meant to be observed in good faith, yet it _ proved until after theelection.” Relying upon it, enforced as it was in the west and central portions of the country by editors and orators of the republican party. millions of voters were held in line for the ticket, for asstated in the republican campaign text book of 1892, the republican party was ‘a bimetallic party.” No one whose po- litieal judgment has the slightest weight will deny that a frank pro- nouncement for the gold standard in that platform or a straightforward interpretation of it by the republican candidate for president as meaning tbe gold standard and nothing else would have elected Mr. Bryan by an overwhelming majority. To construe the election of 1896 as a mandate by | the American people for the estab- ‘lishment of the gold standard is to says he free coinage of is ge- a % MEANT TO BE are moving and ‘good enough wood, and mahogany cars would rise in that freight rates would go up, and that there would be the mischief to pay generally.

The greenbacks, the best paper the world ever saw, the product of the patriotism and states- manship of the republican party in the days of Abraham Lincoln, are to be virtually destroyed by being changed into gold certificates, to be locked up in the treasury and paid out only for gold. The tax on the circulation of the national banks is to be reduced and the amonnt of the bank currency they may issue on government bonds deposited is to be increased from 90 per cent to par of the bonds: thus making their busi- ness enormously more profitable, opening the way to an immediate possible inflation of the bank notes, not legal tender. excellent for getting into debt but unavailable for getting out of debt with, to the ex- tent of 800,000,000; and placing the regulation of the volume of money, and hence the determination of prices and the burden of debts, ab- solutely in the power of the banks and the creditorclass. AT BANK MONEY TRUST. The inevitable tendency among these banks will be towarda uniform- ity and co-opertion of management, the result of which will speedily be the erection of a great bank money trust more powerful than all other trusts and combines, and ultimately, if the republican party should remain in power irresistable and unresisted by the government itself.

THE CHICAGO DIS8- PATCH is the Great Democratic Weekly Newspaper of the Country. It advocates the readoption of the platform and the renomination of William Jennings Bryan. There has never been a political campaign that will equal in import- ance that of the one to be fought next year. The republican party, backed by the money power of this eountry and Europe, is alert and ag- gressive. Flushed with the victory of three years ago it will seek by every means in its power to maintain its supremacy. Democrats must be up and doing. They must wage an unceasing war upon their enemies.
