CHICAGO is reaping some of the fruits of the wild talk which was imported with the Denver delegation to the bi- metallic convention a tew weeks ago.

They bave, nodoubt, been wishing for some time that the Clingman injunction had never been inaugurated. DEMOCRATIC promises are about as little to be relied on in lowa as else- where. The democrats last year pro- claimed their intention to make a nomi- nation for United States senator in their party convention. But under the advice of their nominee for governor they have accommodatingly changed their minds, Their other promises will be kept in a similar manner, BPECULATORS who intend to take up claims in the Cherokee Strip have actu- ally gone into training for the race which they expect to make as soon as the government. calls time. It is a shame that no way has been devised by which this free-for-all contest can be svoided. It is idle to expoct the mer- {torious and worthy to win in & speed irial of this kind. VOTING BEGINS TODAY, The silver debate in the house ended Saturday, under the agrosment entored into two weoks ago, and today voting will bogin, Tho first vote taken will be on the amendment to the repeal bill providing for the frec eoinage of silver at tho present ratio. If that is de- feated, votes will be taken onthe pro- posal for free eoinage at an enhanced ratio, If the house rejects the soveral ratios proposed the repeal hill will then be voted on There appears to be no doubt that all the amondments will be rejected and that the original measure will be passed by a majority estimated at from 60 to 70. With the republican vote in the house almost unanimous for repeal, 1t being assumed t atleast 100 of the 126 vopublicans will go on record agrainst continuing the purchases of silver by the government, it would scem that the estimated majority for repeal is none too large. At any rate the as- surance of the passage of the Wilson bill by the houseappears to bo ample, and we can see no reason to apprehend a different result. With regard to the prospect for unconditional repeal passing the s how ever, it is not so favorablo. ill it is very much better than it was two wocks ago. It is stated that the administration claims that at least fifty votes ave sccure for repeal, of which twenty-cight are republicans and twenty-two democrats. It is said thata few of those who are counted on for repeal may not be found on the affivmative side when the record is com- pleted, but there aro a number of doubt~ ful men who will make up for any loss that may be sustained. Some of those embraced in the list of repealers would prefer o secure a substitute of some kind for unconditional repeal, but fail- ing in this they are expected to vote for repeal without any conditions when that question is presented. It is be- lieved that the vote in the house will have considerable influenco in determin- ing that of the senate. It is confidently asserted by the advocates of repeal that it will havo a majority in the sonate, but if the mujority in the house should be as large as is now anticipated there is reason to expect that the now estimated senate majority will be increased. If repeal gets fifty votes in the senate it will have a majority of fifteon. The diffi- culty, however, will be inreaching a vote, there being no such arrangentent in the senato a8 in* the house, and the silver senators seom determined to pro- long the contest to the farthest limit. They proclaim that it will be impossible to pass a measure for unconditional re- peal, and it is obvious that they are re- lying upon the privilegos of filibustering, which are without restraint in the sen- ate. How far these obstinate silver sen- ators may bo influenced by public opin- ion, after the house shall have acted, can of course only be a matter of conjec- ture; but they will undoubtedly be sub- jected to a powerful pressure from this souree, which it may be presumed some of them will hardly venture to ignore or disregard, TARIFF REVISION, Reyprosentative Wilson, chairman of the ways and means committce, has stated that nothing will be done toward revising the tariff during the extra ses- sion of congress beyond arvanging a plan of procedure for the committee. His idea is that congress will dispose of the financial question and adjourn by the ond of September, and in the two months before the time for the regular session of congress to begin the ways and means committee can frame a tariff bill and have it ready for submis- sion very early in the regular session, It is evidently the inten- tion of Mr. Wilson to push the work of revision us rapidly as it is prac- ticable to proceed with so important a labor, but he thinks thero is no urgent reason for beginning it during the extra session. Ho may have to do so, how- ever, for it is by no means certain that the end of the session will be reached by the close of next month. hat will de- pend upon the senate and if the threats of the silver senators are carried out the oxtra session may be prolonced until the time for the rogular session in De- cember, The industrial interests of country will caro little, about = what program the ways and means committee shall adopt as to the time of taking up the work of tariff revision. All they are concerned about is the character of the work. Of course since the general overhauling of the tariff schedules is assured it is de- sirable that it shall not be delayed any longer than possible. The uncortainty regarding what may be done has alveady worked a great deal of mischief and this must continue to be the experience until the industrial interests of the country know just what to expect and can readjust their operations to the mnew order of things. At present nobody can say how far congress may go in reforming the vavious schedules—whether the changes will be moderate or radical, or whether there will be one policy for a certain class of interests and another for other classes. Itis true that the country has been assured by the presi- dent, in terms sufficiently plain, that no tariff logislation is contemplated that can destroy or serfously injure any in- dustrinl interest, and the personal organ of the president has within a fow days repeated its assurance that there is 0o reason to apprehend any very radical changes in the general schedules. We noted a short time ago tho utter- ances of unother journal, avow- edly democratic and presumed to havo the most favorable opportunity for knowing Mr. Cleveland's views on public questions, in which there was conveyed the assurance that there is no imminent danger to the policy of pro- tection, Indeed, Mr. Cleveland himself took the very first opportunity after his nomination to let the country under- stand that he was not in complete accord with the tariff plank of the democratic national platform. But while there is to be found in all this something to re- lieve the fears of the industrial inter- ests, it is not sufficient to altogether allay approhension. It is impossible not to feel some distrust of the ability of the domocratic party, dominated the however, ! own v | probable that he w THE OMAHA DAILY BEF; MONDAY, AU( as It 18 by a section is comparatively little interested in the dovelopment and promotion of manufac- turing, fo make a fair and just revision of the tariff, or one that will not be practically destructive to some 1inter- ests. Nor can anybody be sure that the president will be able to fully control the party in this matter and have his ws carriod out. It is more than 1 be compelled to make some concessions to the radical element of the party. Everybody who is sufficiently open minded to be impressed by obvious facts now understands that the existing busi- ness depression is not wholly due to sil- vor purchases, but that fear regarding the treatment of the tariff by the demo- cratic party has had no small influence in producing the unfortunate condition. Tho knowledge of this ought to have the effect to induce that party to adopta more conservative policy than its national platform pledged it 1o adopt. THE ATTITUDE OF NEW YORK. “In our part of the country we think the east too domineering,” says Senator Allen; and from the fact that New York is the center of the domineering faction heis led further to characterize the metropolis as no longer an American city. Just what is nocessary to consti- tute an American city it is probably im- possiblo for the senator or for any ono else to say, much more so for any one to suy in what rospects New York has de- parted from the necessary requirements, ‘What Senator Allen means to expres: then is his conviction that the eastern bankers have assumed in this crisis a position not altogether patriotic, and while he cannot profess to speak for the entire west, yot, it must be admitted, that similar charges have not been en- tirely lacking. It has been claimed, particularly by Chicago bankers, who are trying to mako the most of the present condi- tions, that the attitude of New York toward the remainder of the country has not been what it ought to have been. They insist that the New York bankers have not only shut down upon all accom- modations to country banks, but also that they falsely attribute the present arcity of currency at the seaboard to withdrawals by westorn bankers. A com son of the national bank state- ments for May 4 and July 12, respec- tive hows that while the deposits in v York banks decreased over 000,000, not more than one-fifth of thi: was due to withdrawals by country banlk- crs. On the other hand, the Chicago financicrs point to a greater relative ac- commodation afforded by their banks to their correspondents, and they indulge in a prophesy very similar to that of Senator Allen, that the dislike of Wall street engendered by the present strin- gency will not stop until Chicago has become the financial center of the United States. How far the New York bankers de- serve the censure which has thus been heaped upon them cannot be determined 80 long us our knowledge of their con- duct is incomplete. To attempt a judg- ment now, before all the special circum- stances are known, can scarcely be done with fairness. The New York banks oc- cupy a peculiar position with relation to our banking institutions, holding prac- tically the reserves for the entire coun- try, and they have attempted to deal with these reserves with every possible precaution. It is extremely probable that western monoy centers will find themselves with increasing business at the close of the existing depression, but that increase noed not bo at the expense of the New York banks. To expect the financial center of the country to be shifted Dbefore the center of industry and commerce is shifted isa fancy rather of the desire of the prophets than of their sober reason. WHERE DO 11HE I GAIN? Mr. Bland, in his closing argument in favor of his amendment to the Wilson bill, threw himself back upon the farmers for support 1n his demand for free coin- age of silver without change of the present mint ratio, Ho said that his opponents had failed to explain the dificulties under which the farmer labored in order to bring back the gold which had been sent w Kurope and which is now necessary to maintain our present financial system. And ho left it to be inferred that with the inaugura- tion of free coinage at 16 to 1 those diffi- culties under which the farmer now labors would immodiately disappear. We all know that the price of exported agricultural produce is fixed in the British markets. How will free coinage affect this? Will it enable the farmer to secure more gold or more manufac- tured products in exchange for his com- modities? The ability of the foreigner to buy American wheat cannot be ma- torially altered by a piece of internal logislation in this country. The farmer cannot secure a dollar of any kind, gold, silver or paper, except in exchange for his own produce. When the [ree silver men say that their measure will raise the price of all articles and then insist that it will bring the market ratio of the two metals into conformity with the mint vatio, they flatly contradict them- selves. If free coinage raises prices it will do s0 only by lowering our standard of value, by depreciating our eirculating medium, If, hovever, it raises the mar- ket price of silver up to the statutory ratio then the standard of value will be unal- tered and prices will be unaffected. It cannot do both at the same time. Consistent bimetallists advocate the concurrent use of gold and silver because they think that the prices of the two metals can be maintained at a statutory ratio. They do not wish to aggrandize any class at the expense of another. The farmers, who have been led to ex- pect personal gains from the adoption of troe coinage legislation, have in most cases been deluded by the harangues of illogical demagogue: ER MANY of the schemes that have been advanced as means of temporary relief for the present scaroity of currency aim really at supplying a substitute eireu- lating medium issued by private parties or corporations instead of the govern- ment. These eoncerns would of ecourse be entirely froe from public control and thus have the business community at which | their merc .

Suchalsp is the plan for the issue of city wattants in small denomi- nations and negotfable without endorse- ment. Tn eagl,, case it is contom- plated that the,, holder will refrain from presenting the order for payment and’ will pass it on in the ordinary difirse of business. The defect in all thoseproposald is that the emission is entirely unrestrained. Tho currency mightdinflated and suddenly contracted greatly, to the detriment of all commercial relations. The object is undeniably to put out an issuo of paper which is intended to circulate from hand to hand as money. The evils of wild- cat currency led to the imposition of the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues and these expedients undoubtedly fall with- in the same category. If they were tried upon an extensive scale, we should probably not have to wait long until the federal anthorities would be induced to summarily interfer THE reception which Senator Voor- hees' speoch meots in the democratic press is as varied as the colors of the rainbow. Administration organs wel- come the promised vote in favor of un- conditional repeal, but almost univer- sally reject the program which he has promulgated for future legislation. Sen- ator Voorhees at the head of the finance committee of the senate, the committee which must consider all the important measures upon which the Cleveland ad- ministration has set its heart, is going to be a troublesome factor for the devo- tees of Cleveland democracy. IT APPEARS that the present demo- cratic administration does not intend to confine its activity to federal affairs. The proposal of Minister Blount, as the administration candidate for governor in Georgia, shows how far the rule from Washington extends.
