"PARTY BETRAYAL" Ex President Cleveland's Grou .Misrepresentation OF THE REPUBLICAN POLICY. IfU Speerh At Ik* Reform Club Rinqurt S?lDro?i1?,Ui?d?l?ml I'alr, * People Had t Right to Ktpeat It wanlil be?Re- | jmhllrew* t'?rrytHf Out Pledge Made In j the riatform, and trill lUecne the Con it I try from (be KrR of the VTIleott Tariff I Pal ley* Philadelphia Inquirer: Ex-President Cleveland, In his speech at the Reform Club dinner on Saturday night, made a vsry proper attack upon 'Hryankm and the free silver heresy, for which wo give him credit, as we always have .tone when he has done the right thing. It cannot be denied that on many public questions Mr. Cleveland's position was entirely sound. It is equally true 1 that on many other public questions he had been radically wrong. Mr. Cluveland was the leader of his party Iii the attack upon protection. IK* assaulted the principles with all his well-known j vehement* and with tho use of all ths j polysyllabic explicative* to be found In ! tho dictionary. We do not criticise Mr. j Cleveland for maintaining: ills own1 views to the best of his ability; we do j net approve of his views, but are will- i tag to give him credit fur sincerity. | But we do not approve of what Mr. ' Cleveland said about protection at the I Reform Club dinner. We do not object to his assault on protection on that oc- I cssion except as to the manner of his j making of it. We call uttentlon purtlc- 1 ularty to the following paragraph: instead, however, of addressing themselves to this task, the managers and the representatives of this (the Republican) victorious party, these professed champions of sound finance, have, before the eyes of an expectant people, returned In hot haste to their wallowing in the mire of extreme protection. offending millions of voters by their exhibition of a party'* bad faith ttnd dugustlng millions more by their unconcealed determination to repay partisan support from the proceeds of increased burdens of taxation placed upon those already overladen. The people whom true Democracy would t"T\e all the people of the land. Those whom It would restrain are. on th.? one hand, the vicious and turbulent who defy ih?* Laws, and, on the other hand, those who with conscienceless preed and in abuse of their opportunity, ivroim fully oppress their fellows and eat oTit their HUbstance." What ?ve object to Is Mr. Cleveland'* f.atemont that the Republican party .^ad acted In had faith. To act In bad faith Is to promise one thing, and to perform another radically opposing it. We quote the following from the Republican platform on the money question: The Republican party Is unreservedly imind money. It caused the en actment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment in 1S79: ?ince then every dollar has been as IT**! as gold. We are unalterably oprosoi to every meaaure calculated to d?oase our currency or Impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of allver, except by international agreement with the leading commercial nation* of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until auch agreement can be ..buim-d the existing gold standard mast be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measure designed to maintain inviolable the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin cr paper, at the present standard?the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth." We should like Mr. Cleveland to rolnt out where, or when, or in what particular the Republican party has acted In lad faith ?n this subject. The Republican party is trying to bring about an International agreement on the allver question- In the meantime it is maintaining all kinds of money on the gold standard. Since Mr. McKlnley waalnaucurated not a dollar has been borrowed to redeem coin certificates. There i? no panic whatever in the money market. A silver dollar la to-day as good as gold. We ?ee no bad faith In this. It is true that Mr. Cleveland personally desires to see all the greenbacks withdrawn from circulation by the issuI in* of new bonds. We do not believe In this policy. Such a contraction of the currency by increasing our debt could lead to no good purpose whatever. We do believe that a new system may be i evolved which will remove existing obJtctions and still supply oil centres ! *!th money sufficient for transacting business, but this Is a complicated question and must come slowly. 80 far from acting in nau uun, me nrpuwir can party has fulfilled its promises to the letter. In regard to the tariff bill we quote j the following from the Republican pintform: We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Independence and the foundation of American development and pro-tperltr " That was the position of :h?- Republl?nn iNirty one year ago. It wa* maintain*/! throughout the campaign on every stump in the country. It was stated by President McKlnley In his dally speeches to visitor!* at Canton. It was maintained by every Republican newspaper in the coin try. Every gold Democrat knew I: was In the platform. Mr. Cleveland knew it whs there, and all knew that if the I>publicans triumphed the party pl'dg? would be carried out The I! -publican party la to-day carrying out that pledgi In favor of protection It Is unalterably pposed to the vicious doctrine of a tariff for revenue only It is opposed to the Wilson bill, which wrought such niln to our country. Even that bill wa? ? vli l'j >ir. Cleveland's eyes. \V.> should Jlko to ask Mr. CI?*vcl.ind In what respect th" Republican party Is acting In b?d faith In consclen'ionsly carrying ?u'. Its declared principles on the subject of protection. S i, Mr. Cleveland, you may argue for free trade to your heart's content. You may denounce protection a?? much as V n pl?ase, although In so doing you arc it-nounclng the prosperity of the country, but you cannot properly accuse tJ?r> Republican party of bad faith.

Chicago News: When A damn ha* his face lathered and scraped and powdered Into a smooth white waste, he closely resembles Col. Robert U. ingersoll. This resemblance ran only bo traced every Sunday, however, hh during the remainder of the week Adams allows his features to accumulate an exceedingly disreputable-appearing stubble. During one of IiIh closely-shaven period* when he least resembled his natural iielf. Adams had his photograph taken. One of the pictutts graced the mantel in his parlor. There It was noticed by a friend of Mrs. Adams, who had seen the master of the household only during the unshaven six-sevenths of their acquaintance and who, accordingly, mistook the photograph for a likeness of Ingersoll. As the friend Is very atronff In her religious convictions and believes in endeavoring to make everybody else so. sho took Mr*. Adams to task. "I am surprised that you have that man's photograph on the mantel," she ttald sternly to Mrs. Adams. "Why, I'm sure I should have that photograph there in preference to any other?even of father or brother." replied the puzzled housewife In a somewhat resentful tone. "What!" gasped the friend. "And you used to Ik* bo devoted to the church. Do you nuan to tell me that you believe what that man say*?" "Certainly I do. l would believe htm avalnst the world. Do you mean to cant any aspcratlons on his truthfulness?" "Why. It was only last Sunday that our minister denounced him from the pulpit." said the friend, upon whom the Icy tone of Mrs. Adams' last remark was entirely lost. "Why. you and your minister must be crazy. Denounce my husband! Never. Why. he goes to church " Hut at the word "husband" the /rlend mm rusiii-u in mr |niu(i)Kiai>ii, mum Mh examined closely, and then returned on the verge of tears, hysterically murmuring something ubout a "terrible mistake " It took seven cups of tea to straighten matters.

The maiket for stocks was larking In animation to-day and sank at time.' into a condition of unqualified dullness, although evidences of lirmnesg and strength were not lacking and the small net decline was due rather to the symj withe tic effect of the manipulation by the b'-.irs oC special stocks than t.? anything in the general situation. Perhaps th? dullness tvas in aomi small part due to the inauguration of the gold export movement to-day. first generally admitted to be due to normal causes growing out of the trade situation. For one thing. It Is felt that tho present period of excessive Imports of merchandise. which Is now throwing the exchonge situation ajralnst us will necessarily be limited by the enactment Into law of the new customs tariff. The return of the gold that may go out now Is therefore confidently expected with the normal merchandise export movement later. The market for Americans In London i was weak (his morning In face of ad- I vuncing tendency for consols, and the New York market took Its opening tone I from London.

Nn heat, a firm opening wan caused by the early Liverpool cabled which name much Htronijor than was anticipated in view of yesterday's decline hero. July, w hich closed the day before at 71afc'-'W 72%c, opened at from 71 %07Zc, and after some scalpers had disposed of what long, wheat they had and In tho parting with it hud depressed the price or juiy to 71^, It begun to rise uguln and had reached 71!V*4/71^0 before 10 o'clock. From the action of tin- market it was evident that speculators as u rule favored the buying aide, Influenced by the sharp break of the pant two days, und the tendency of the market during th* morning was to udvance on the slighteHt encouragement. Immediately after I the noon hour the previous upward tendency of the market and confident buying by the bulls gave place to the exact , opposite. So sudden wurf the change ! that July, which In the meantime had sold as high us 72%c and worked buck again to 72c, und was worth the latter | tlgure at 12:05 o'clock cuuld not be sold I ut 71c ut 12:10 p. m. In about fifteen minutes more It had I tumbled to 69\W19v\ a drop of 2^c j>er bushel In Z.'? minutes. The reason I for such a sudden collapse must be ascribed entirely to the speculative con| dltlons in the pit. An attempt to sell out 200,000 bushels of wheat bought during the forenoon was perhaps tht? direct starter of the collapse. That celling was regarded with all the more suspicion as It commenced as soon us Bradstreet's visible supply statement was made known, ai t(i"t waa llsh. It gave the world's decrease at 2.:>e9,u<)0 bushels. A decTease of about half us much was ali that had been expected. The closing cables were very disappointing. Liverpool showed a decline for the day of from *?d to Hd per cental. Some reaction took place before the close, but the market was nervotis and weak to the end; 7t)?ic for the tlnal quotation for July. Torn was steady and very dull with little but changing from May to July going on. More rains had a steadying influence, and the break in wheat hud no effect. The visible nupply decrensed 3.904,000 bushels. July opened & shade higher fit 25%c, sold a Bh.ide below that ami advanced to XthbQ'&hc where It cloned. Oats were firm especially so In view of the break In wheat. The rains west caused the steady feeling early and a food shipping demand helped later. The visible decreased 920.0(H) bushels. July opened He higher at 15c; sold at 17"ic and advanced to lJ?*?c; that was th?' closing price. It was merely a day of changes In provisions, but prices held fairly steady notwithstanding the fullness. Toward th?* end the market was effected by wheat, and prices, which had recovered from slight opening decline, sagged down again. At the close July pork was about 7'ic lower at in 47H: July lard 6c lower at 14 16 and July ribs 5c lower at $4 Estimated receipts Thursday: Wheat 4 cars; corn 107 cars; oats 173 cars; hugs 30,000 head.
