It tins begun the silver tide. Com
mon sense Is a better rule to follow In
politics than even platform. I have nl
wavs contended, and se ha the Jottr
nal, that Hit restoratlor ot silver must
and would come throttgi'thc llcpublle
nn party. And becatie thnt patty has
evci been more In touch with the masses
than nnv orgniilnitlon Hat has wielded
power lu thin counliy. The Demociatlc
party lias a name that ought to 1 epic
sent the people, and has In Its hltotv
enlisted the licit binln of the nation
from that fact. Hut fate or n want of
something has made It slntc 150 tho
party of mlgovernmcnt and dlsastct.
Why Hccauc it ceased to be national
and became practically foreign In It
policies. Let us sec!
It became the protector nnd piopa
gandlst of slaver scckhg to extend the
Institution over the conmoti turltorles
of the Union. To hovv what the suc
cess of that doctrine vv.iubl have been,
It Is only needed to state that Mlnneotn,
Kansas, Nebraska, tlw two Dakoti,
Wjomlng, .Montana, Idaho, Washington,
Nevada, California, Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arbona and Oklahoma would
have been lave state This policy of
upholding slavery made Its economic
policies favoinble to Hngland nnd other
Huropean countries, the governing In
terest being the exchange of cotton and
tobacco for Hie goods needed to culti
vate nnd market them As how under
Cleveland o under Itichanan the na
tion wn compelled to l.orrow money in
a time ot peace at exorbitant rates ot
Interest. Till pollc.v I'd as if by the
law of political gravlts to tho civil war
And now the organliMtim that gives the
presidency to the partr I essentially n
foielgn one In almost a foielgu cltv, nnd
foielgn bankers squef7C the treasury
bv the consent of the rresldent and sec
retary out of millions bj a back-door
contract, and a Democratic house re
fuses to Impeach them How can silver,
destiojed by this conspiracy, expect
restoration nt the hards of the Itoth
chihls who own the administration?
Then the economic 01 tnilff Ideas ot the
paits nic exactly those on which the
slave-laboi empire was sought to be es
tablished and effectual supplement tho
financial policy that It is Just been con
summated with such odium These facts
sustain the statement with which I set
out the foielgn pollcv ot the party as
led and controlled bv Cleveland.
Hut I set out with the statement that
silver must tome thiough the Hepubllc
nn patty, nnd in the face of what nt
times seemed otherwise, I have been ot
that Judgment because tho Republican
Is the antipodes of the Democratic in its
ideas, being (list and alvv.iss Ameiican.
And sllvel Is almost a native American
metal Sooner or lat. r the shadow that
overspread the paitv on that issue from
the action of the Shci m.an-Hoopci
scheme of 1S71 must be lifted. And It
began to lift jesterday in the senate, in
the suggestive and timely speech of .Sen
atoi Chandler, id Now Hampshire. Heie
Is an extract fmm his speech that
tliiows a Hood of light on the situation
He saltl
"In deferent e n the prevailing opinion
of New Hnglind and bociuse It 1111 lie
unwise to open our own mints to the un
limited coinage of silver, without concur
rent nctlon upon the part of other greit
nation. I shall vote against the pending
resolution
Hut 1 verv much regret that I cannot
nlso now vot. 111 favor of some null illative
measure in tin lire, tlon of hl-mi-tuUlsm, to
piomote whli h the Republican pirt is si
credlv pledge 1 bv the promises of Its 11 1
tlon il convention In IK)-' which, as et,
nothing has been done to redeem
' Ill-met illlsm ns 1 understand it, I the
use of gold nn I silver ns monev metals
each onunlls onttthd to coinage as monev
In the mints of the bl-metallh n itlous As
long ns our mints are nbsolittch clo-ed to
the coinage of silver bullion we shnll be
fist appro tchlng a single gold stindnrd, If
we have not ilnads reached It Cold mono
metallism Is 0111 destlnv if some affirm 1-
tlve action in mother direction is not soon
t tken. Against the adoption for America
of the single stand ird It Is ni dut to
speak and ait In luconlance with the
pledges of mv parti, and with the Inter
ests of the great mass of the Amerlc in
people debtors, producers and pioperts
owners "
This from a senator who has unlform
1 voted for the measures looking to
gold Is very suggestive and is notice
solved upon the friends of that pollcs
that, as Mr Vest said to Cleveland, "the
patting of the wajs has come" I am
and nivvass hive been nware that there
was a large element in the H istern sec
tion th it was and is opposed to the gold
policy. Kx-Hpeaker Heed showed this in
