Obstacles ‘Those who, like Mr. Whitney, have becn laboring for a union of the sound money forces of the two old parties for effect in this campaign find the tariff the principal obstacle in the way of succe: Sound money democrats ai: very much pleased with Mr. McKinley's interpretation of the financial plank of the St. Louis platform. His views are identical with thelr own om the subject of protecting the credit of the government. Personally, also, they have a high regard for the man. They like his polse, his dignity, his fine character as a citizen. But they object to his views on the tariff, and they express a fear of com- mitting themselves in some way on that subject if they openly assist in republican success In November. At the same time they will not support Mr. Bryan, believing, as they do, that free coinage of silver would work ruin to the country. These men express themselves as anxious to get around the difficulty if it can fairly be done. They do not expect Mr. McKin- ley to abandon his position on the tariff, nor do they intend to abandon thelr own. Many of them believe that a union of sound money strength is necessary to over- come the silver movement, and hence, all things considered, they are In an anxious frame of mind. Among the propositions lately submitted to effect this union of strength Is this: Let it be understood that the first and most distinctive work to be transacted by the Fifty-fifth Congress !m case the sound mcney men are in majority in the House shall relate to the financial question. No particulars are offered, but It is assumed that as such men will have principally In view the shielding of the country from free silver as an independent act by this gov- ernment they will be able to agree upon @ measure. Then let that measure pess. Let the tariff be taken up only to the ex- tent of providing for the deficiency, which both sides agree is created by the present tariff law, due regard being had for the radical difference that exists between the sound money allies as to the fundamental principles of taxation. This, it is insisted, will put matters on an easy basis and re- store confidence; and for such an end, it is suggested, a union of men who differ widely on the general principles of eco- nomics can be brought about. As for the tariff proper—for such a re- vision of the present law as the protec- tionists imsist is necessary for the pros- perity of the country—iet that question be made the basis of the congressional cam- paigns of 1898. Let the Fifty-sixth House be chosen on that issue. The sound money alliance having accomplished its purpose and been dissolved, sound money protec- tionists can now put forward thelr candi- dates and sound money low-tariff men thelr candidates, with the tariff as the only issue. The republican leaders are chary about discussing this proposition. They want all the sound money democratic strength they can get. They realize that they will need a good deal. But the fact confronts them that, according to their claim, the financial question grows out of the tariff question; that no difficulty with the coun- try was developed until a President and a Congress pledged to free trade were elected, and the revenues of the govern- ment were reduced to the point of a deficit; and that the surest and promptest way back to the old satisfactory order of things is by a return to the policy of high pro- tection. Stull, the campaign is very young yet, and the full measure of all the dangers has not been taken. Where so much necessity for union exists, union,” In the end, may be effected. If no more Is asked by sound money democrats than the con- cession which the Chicago anti-protection platform makes to its protection allies, namely, the postponement of tariff ques- tions, except that Involved in meeting the revenue deficiency, until after tre firancial question fs settled, a reasonably effective union of the sound money men on this basis ought to be possible. The re- publicans will doubtless give careful con- sideration to Mr. Whitney's warning. If they were all equally positive that the running of a sound money democratic presidential et is less desirable than attempted non the suggested basis they would quickly offer concessions. But there is still a difference of opinion on this point. —___ + e+ — While no definite announcement on the subject has been made, from sentiments which Mrs. Lease has expressed it is safe to predict that Mr. Lease will vote for Bryan. = —————_+ + > __ The politicians now at St. Louis are so ardent in thelr dislike of Wall street that they refuse even to be business-like in their methods of holding a convention. _+0e In Is intimated that some of the populists may discover that “the middle of the road” leads orly to the center of the soup. — tee Embarrassments. ‘The embarrassments attending the Chi- cago platform are rapidly being developed. ‘The original complaint in silver circies was that existing governmental woes were nearly all to be ascribed to the demoneti- zation of silver, and the original proposition was that the silver men of@ll parties, put- ting other things temporarily behind them, should get together and set silver on its feet again. A platform on this line was what in many quarters was expected of the Chicago convention. foliowed—a line so zigzagged that it be- wilders and alarms some people—and the re- sult is confusions and divisions among sil- ver men. ‘The case of Mr. Bailey of Texas illustrates the difi culty im one quarter. He is a demo- erat—believes in a tew tariff and He advocates free coinage. and so strongly that he was willing that that be made the issue this year. He went to Chicago as delegate to help bring that about. He spoke and worked for that. But that policy failed. So many things were put into the platform of which Mr. Bailey does not approve that But another line was |- he aunounces his retirement from public Rife. If the democracy should win on the platform adopted he, if a member of the next Congress, would have to antagonize it in opposing the legislation ‘that would be brought forward to make its promises good. Therefore, Mr. Bailey will not stand for re-election. He drops out, and will await developments. The case of Senator Don Cameron illus- trates the difficulty in another quarter. Mr. Cameron is a friend of silver—so very warm a friend as to have sacrificed himself, many believe, to the white metal. He is going out of public life largely as the result of going counter to the views of his constituents on the money question. He was on the list of those anxious for a straightout silver de- liverance at Chicago, and partly pledged to support a ticket so nominated. It is an- nounced now that Mr. Cameron cannot sup- port the Chicago platform. It is too ex- treme for him. He is still for silver, but the things with which silver has now been allied are repugnant to him, and he will support Mr. McKinley. The case of Mr. Teller is peculiar. He is a republican in everything but his ad- herence to the cause of silver. The St. Louis platform is not objectionable to him in any line except as it treats of the money ques- tion, and it is regarded as a safe statement that, except in its declaration for free coin- age, the Chicago platform is not acceptable to him in any line. But Mr. Teller expected to be nominated at Chicago. The “pins’ were set up with that end in view. His friends worked hard to accomplish such a result. The scheme failed, but all the same Mr. Teller is committed. He feels himself obliged to support Mr. Bryan. To reject the nomination would subject him to the ac- cusation of acting from influences of per- sonal disappointment. But are other western silver republicans in sympathy with the full democratic plat- form? Will they unreservedly accept the Populistic features of it and support it unanimovsly and heartily at the polls? The reported intention of Senator Cannon of Utah, who bolted at St. Louis, to return to the republican party, may suggest the doubt and hesitation which prevail on this point In the average silver republican, and the feeling that too much may be sacri- fleced in the desire to gain silver free coin- age will undoubtedly be strengthened by the populistic endorsement of Bryan at St. Louis, and the addition through the plat- form there adopted of other populistic plans and prindfples to those which the Chicago nominee already represents. The lesson taught {s that in the case of coalitions it is not true that the whole is equal to the sum of all the parts. The sil- ver coalition, if fusion of its various ele- ments were perfect, would be invincible; but that fusion is not and cannot be per- fect. —____ + +e —____ A remarkable communication is that which came from St. Petersburg today, and which appears elsewhere in The Star. Truth is always strafiger than fiction, but the particular scrap of fiction to which the writer of the communication refers with disapproval appears to have possessed so much of the similitude of truth that an in- telligent reader finds it necessary to send us a contradiction. The uncommon incl- dent testifies to the fact that even in far- away Russla—in such a center as St. Pe- tersburg—The Star is eagerly and com- | pletely devoured by minds hungry for good reading-matter. ——__+ es ___ Respectable people cannot heip feeling gtatitied at the fact that the two sluggers who were refused the privilege of fighting in Virginia a few nights since are still en- gaged, and unsuccessfully, in trying to find some spot in this vicinity where the hold- ing of a financially-successful prize fight Is possible.
