There la no better, cleaner, or more In
fluential Democratic paper la the country
than The Times of Philadelphia. The
Ugh character, ability and experience of
its editor. A. K. McClure, attract atten
tion and gives unusual prominence to
Bjs utterances throughout the Union.
Last Friday's issue of The Times con
tained aa editorial which so well repre
sents the drift of the best polttt.-al opin
ion. Is so deserving of a wide .'lrculatlon,
and is so pregnant with particular mean
km for Oregon Republicans, that the As
torian republishes It for the benefit of Its
leaders, as follows:
"One of the most hopeful signs of the
times Is the steady drift of the Republi
can party, that is ieaonuhly certain to
elect the next president and congress,
toward a positive sound money platform
to be declared by the St. taut conven
tion. It is now evhlent that the ills
graceful straddle made by the Republi-
. cans In ISM will not be repeated, and
. that tbje party likely to be chanced with
. the dlracttoa. of the government during
- th next aumtnlKtrattoa will present its
- Candidate and its tfeclajattoo of faith on
. a platform of an absolutely sound finan
cial policy.
' "It la not orMlltahle ta the Democrat
' that Ncfclle Unlr' opponents, with every
aa-oasex 6X vlctcry. are rapidly eonverg-
'.. mar to mfs moner platform, the party
wheae presid. nt ha given to the ountry
and the world the moat heroic and patri-
- atte aeration to public and private credit
seems to be drifting toward cheap money
-and national discredit. The free silver
' erase has vwept the Democracy of Ala
aasa from the od sound money iroor
Irra. and this first deliverance In the
South promises to make the "outhern
states practlcalyl united for free silver I
and cheap money In the Democratic na
tional convention, with the single excep
tion of Kentucky.
"When Nebraska and North Dakota,
the heart ef the free sliver craze, de
clared distinctly for honent money
through their Republican state cenven
tions, and selected delegates to the ra
tional convention instructed to maintain
the money standard of the clvil'ied
world, it may be accepted as certain that
the Republican national convention will
not make a doubtful deliverance on the
subject. With these states the Kepub
Kens of Kentucky come manfully to the
front In favor of a sound financial sys
tem. Indeed, all of these three states,
together with Massachusetts. New York
and New Jersey, have put to shame the
"miserable, cowardly straddle on the
money question adopted by the state
convention of Ohio. It Is now evid- nt
that McKlnley must reject this demagogic
straddle of the money issue if he ' all
be called upon to accept the Republican
Bominatlon for president
"A delegation from the Republican
national convention of ISM unqualifiedly
In favor of sound money will do mire
to Inspire business confidence throughout
the country and throughout the world
than any other movement that could be
made at this time. It Is generally be
lieved at home and abroad that the Re
publicans will control the next admin
sstratkm. Including both branches of con-
frresw, and a deliverance in favor of the
crapulous maintenance of public and
private credit by that body will be ac
cepted throughout the world as practi
cally anchoring this nation on the hlgh
est plane of souni public and prlvite
credit. Regardless of -ill oliteal con
siderations, therefore, the present trend
of the Republicans to .in unriuall'iedly
honest money platform gi"i the high
est promise of confidence and prosperity
to the cour.lry.
"If the Democratic national convention
ad the courage and patriotism to follow
the Republican national convention by
declaring in favor of a sound money
policy, the question would be settled for
EVts:. The free silver craxe aould be
practlealy eliminated from our political
conflicts, and It would die a natural
death: but the chanefs arc at least even
today that the next Democratic conven
tion will be dominated by the free silver
freaks, and if so they will not only as
sure the defeat of the party by an un
exampled majority, but it would be a
defeat without th hope of resurrection.
"The declaration of the Democratic na
tional convention Is not so Important to
the country or the world as that of the
Republican convention, because of the
general expectation that the Hf)'ibll"ars
will elect the next president: but If It
would hope to live in the future as a
conservative and successful party, It
-should be honest with Itself and honest
with the country by manfully declaring
In favor of the money standard of the
civilized world."
Two facts appear In the revival of
patriotism that ore of pleasing signifi
cance at this time the Increased Inter
est In the study of our Institutions by
the general public and the enthusiasm
evinced by the pupils of our public
schools toward the flag of the nation.
The Boston Standard makes a sugges
tion that ought to be adopted by the
public schools of Astoria. It Is the
custom of our government to have two
sixes cf Old 'Jlory: one small, strongly
made flag, for ordinary display from the
staff of the port or the mast of the ship
of war, while a larger one Is used on
holidays or patriotic occasions. The
Standard says this custom of the nrmy
sr.d navy, If followed by our schooU,
would save for holiday and memorial oc
casions the beautiful flairs that exposure
to storms and high1 wind on ordinary
days have seriously Injured. The chang
proposed would give emphasis to the
great days of the naUun and make more
Impressive the lessons of II st.irry sym
bol. The Standard ws on lo commend
this chanee lo iV boards of education
throughout the land, and say It has
leen often suggested by member of the
lirand Army of the Republic, whose love
for the oM fUg and deelrr for Us most
iffivtlve dtspliy will not be doubled by
the youth of America. Let the public
schools of Astoria have the credit ol
being first to adopt this custom In Ore
gon. While the Unit.-.! Slates ha been bor
rowing money to pay the ordinary run
ning expense of the government, Knit
Und. for the first time In many ymr.
ha a surplus in the treasury of over
ISViMMW. This effectually dispose of
the argument made by the Populist thai
the business and Industrial depression
here Is caused by the gold standard, and
It also answer the explanation advanced
by the free trader that the reason limes
have not Improved under the Wilson tariff
is because of a state of universal puri
nes stagnation prevailing In Kurope a
well as America.
The Republican convention may he
reckless enough to defy the sentiment
and wlshe of a large element of the
party In some of the nomination It will
make next Tuesday, but It has already
been demonstrated that a nomination on
the Republican -ticket In Clatsop county
Is nof always equivalent lo an election.
At least one county office ami one rep
resentative to the legislature will go to
the Democrats or Populists If the con
ventlon carries out the program which
rumor says has been arranged for.
DEFICIENCY OF REVENCK.
Bankers' M&gaslne.
Senator Jotin Uuerinan, of Ohio, ha a
paper In the current number of "The
Forum" on this topic, except that he
baa put It In the form 4 positive arser
tlona Instead of Interrogatively. Mr.
Sherman is indisputably the best In
formed on the publu finance ot any
llvuur American, and his long and dis
tinguished career give tretght to any
views that he may express on question
of governmental policy. He Is not only
sn able statesman, but sn exceedingly
droit paollticiun, and It may not be well
to entirely forget this !a(ter fact in con
slderlnsr some of the points set forth In
"The Korum" article.
Senator Sherman stirts'out with the
proposal made by President Cleveland to
convert the United States and Treasury
notes Into . Interest-bearing debt of
about IMP.nu.Miu. which Is criticised as a
measure that would result In a sharp
contraction of the currency, add greatly
to the burden of existing debts and ar
rest the progress of our Industrie. The
Ohio senator holds that the true line of
public policy is to furnish the govern
ment with enough funds to met current
expenditures and to provide each year
tor the payment of a part of the public
debt. He says that the gold reserve
could then be maintained without costs
but with "a saving of Interest en United
States notes and Treasury notes of live
times the Interest lost by the gold held
in reserve."
Senator Sherman states that "The enly
difficulty in the way of an easy main
tenance of our notia at par with coin
Is the fact that during this administra
tion the revenues of the government have
not been sufficient to meet the expendi
tures authorised by congress."
Contrasting the operation of the Mc
Klnley law Hnd the Wilson law as pro
ducer of revenue. It Is asserted that
"During the 'wcnty-five months of the
Mckinley law (October. Iva'-Si) the aver
age monthly surplus was l,lS4n. Dur
ing the existence of the Wilson law
(September, 1V4. to December. the
average monthly dedclency was Rltf.SO.
If the McKlnley law was. in U opinion
of the president. Inefficient 'or 1. venue,
he should have wild of the Wilson law
that it was bounteous In deficiency."
After going into the details of the oper
ations of these two laas. the senator
n?atn makes the positive assertion that
"The deficiency of revenue was the pri
mary cause of the demand .'or gold lor
United States notes." This 'witlon Is
maintained at great length.
From July I, IO. to July 1. Lsai the
redemption of United States note In
gold averaged less, than Ibree million
dollars a year, while during the last
three and one-half years the redemption
of United Stales and Treasury notes ex
ceeded on hundred million dollars fer
each year. From lpii to Vt the giAl
reserve Increased from ElMia,)e to R2",.
0U0.OX), and this increase was made wlttt
out cost to the treasury, the Knld being
received In exchange for paper.
H r. Sherman does sat agree with those,
who think that the withdrawals of gold
have been due to- the operations) of the
silver laws. On this point he says:
"The Bland-Allison act was In for-e from j
17 to im, when the accumulation of
gold occurred, and the great bulk of
gold was withdrawn after the repeal of
the act of July 14. Iu.- He ah says
that while he was secretary of the
treasury the government received over
)j,mj of gold la- exchange- for silver
certificates and United States notes, snd
this was done afo?r the lilami-Allison
act was in force and the silver certl
cates was issued under that a:..
As to the "kmilos chuln," tr the re
Issue of the notes when once redeemed.
It Is stated that the right to reissue Is a
necessary incMent to a einculialng- nctc,
the United States only doing whut every
bank does. Instead of Joining In Che
cry against this provision of the- law,
Senator Sherman says "It fsrnlshes a
note for circulexion better than any
other yet devised by mortal' man. "
There Is no lac of expllcltness In these
statements as to the dWIcterry of reve
nue and lt results, for In concluding
this branch of his topic Senator Hherman
says: "Sot would deflelencsfes have oc
curred had nc the president and both
houses of the fifty-third congress, then
In political sympathy, unite! In passing
a law reducing the reven ee below ex
penditures fesr the rlrst time since tht
close of thw war, and uompell.d th'
executive authorities; to apply a fund cre
ated for the; redemption of United States
notes to meet the ordinary expenses ef
the government. Thlw demonstrated
fact Is the source) of as! our nnanclal
difficulties."
It is recommended that the naes shonld
not be reissued except fn exchange for
gold coin, and also that the geld reserve
should be separated ty law from the
general cash assets of the teeaaury.
Senator Sherman estimates that de
ductlnif the notes destroyed or lose snd
those held as bank reserves, the actual
amount of United States notes In cir
culation does not exceed f.srt.i"!. He
thinks that with a proviskm In the law
that notes redeemed with coin shall not
be reissued except for coin, the value
and stability of our currency can never
be endangered. He also favors a law
compelling the banks to keep their re
serves In Unltel States notes or Treas
ury notes only, arvulng that the na
tional banks are creations of the govern
ment and that they ouifht not to be al
lowed to do anything that tends to dls
"redlt the notes In whl'h they may re
deem their circulation.
Aa to the other remedies to be applied,
Mr. Sherman would haze .vmjrresa at
one provide suffielcnt revenues to meet
public expenditures. The Invasion and
misapplication of the gold reserve he re
tards as being of much greater Injury
than the Imposition of ten times the
amount of taxation.
What Is said In regard to the reissue of
United States notes is somowhat novel
and Interesting. "It is asserted that the
continued reissue of United States notes
Is mandatory. This Is not a fair con
struction of the law. The plain mean

when the public debt w being educed
with unexampled rapidity, then- no

There Is a great deal of Information
and discussion In reference to the reve
nues and the gold reserve that ritnnot
be touched upon here, and while many
will not agree with the views of the d's
tlngulshed and venerable Ohio senator,
they will find the complete paper werthy
of a careful reading. It concluding
