REPUBLICAN CURRENCY REFORM. •, I want to ask the Republicans of your county why their speakers and papers are not discussing their proposed legislation to “refoim the currency.” Their platform declares for “comprehensive legislation” iri this direction and the people are entitled to know what that means. This phrase, like that of “sound money,” behind which the gold redemptionist has so long masked himself, has a certain definite meaning to the leaders, and the people should also understand it. Shortly after the election of President McKinley there met in Indianapolis a convention of men calling themselves a “Non-Partisan Monetary convention.” The announced object of this association was to inaugurate a “comprehensive reform of our currency.” A committee was appointed to prepare a bill to pass congress which would effect this reform. In January, 189 S, the convention assembled again at Indianapolis to hear aud act unon the report of the committee. It was called “non-parti-san,” bat not a Populist, Silver Republican or Democrat was invited. It was called a "bnsiness men’s" convention, but the delegates were selected by the banks and biards of trade of the various cities, and not a laboring man or farmer was there. The committee reported a bill to reform the currency and Jesse Overstreet, a Republican congressman from Indiana, was intrusted with introducing it in congress. This bill, known as the Overstreet bill, was introduced in the house as bill No. 5,855, and was referred to the committee on bankiug aud currency. The executive committee of the Indianapolis convention headed by H. H. Hanna, and composed of wealthy and influential men, were directed to attend the last session of congress aud see that the bill became a law. On June 15, 1898, the house committee reported the measure in a slightly modified form, but under the changes it was reported as house bill No. 10,289, and is known as the Hill-Fowler bill. Mr. Hanna, chairman of the lobby committee appointed by the Indianapolis convention, announces in an open letter that the changes are immaterial and that the measure reported by the house committee provides the desired “comprehensive reform” of the currency. He says, that the bill would have passed had the war not engrossed congressional attention, and declares that if the friends of “sound” money (Republicans) secure control of the coming congress this bid (No. 10,289) will become a law. It is apparent then, that by “compreheasive monetary legislation,” the Republican leaders mean this measure, or one of similar import. The very expression is taken trom the Indianapolis “business men’s” oouveution. Aud besides, the action of the last house foreshadows the intention of the next. The banking and currency committee of the house, that reported favorably on the act, represent the Republican majority in tnat house and upon measures of this kind are rightfully supposed to reflect the purpose of the party in power. Mr. Hanna says, in his open letter, “a careful poll of the house shows that the lr.ends of sound money will support the measure. ” Now, why did they not briefly state the purpose and effect of this bill in their platform, instead of making an umAuus declaration for “enlightened and couipreheu sive monetary legislation?” Why do they not discuss it now ? I will tell you: It is because they dare not go before the people with a frank statement of their purpose or a fair discussion of their policies. They propose by this measure to make our coined stiver dollars, which are today standard, irredeemable, aud full legal tender dollars, redeemable in gold; thus contracting oar volume of standard money, adding to the burden on gold and increasing its exchange value, aud reducing our silver to the condition of currency or mere promises to pay gold. They propose to withdraw from use and destroy all the greenbacks and government paper money and permit the issuance by national banks of their currency to take its place. In other words, the government is to withdraw its paper money in order that the national banks may issue bank note currency, loan it at the usual rates to their immense profit and contract and enlarge the volume in use from time to time as they see fit. I propose to discuss aud attack these policies in succeeding issues of this paper, but it is only fair that your Republican speakers aud editors should likewise discuss and defend them. They dare not deny party responsibility for them. The evidence is overwhelming that this is the policy meant in their declaration for “comprehensive monetary legislation.” If not, let them say what is. Do they mean to make our silver redeemable in gold and substitute for government paper money, national bank currency? Let them deny it or defend it. In the last session of congress six bills were introduced in the house on currency reform by Republican members. They were the MoCleary bill (H. R. 9,725). Htll-Fowler bill (H. R. 10.289), Overstreet bill (H R. 5,855), Gage bill (H. R. 5,181). Fowler bill (H. R. 50), and the Walker bill (H. R. 3,333), aud they are ail framed to accomplish this purpose. The Republican financial policy manifestly is to make gold the sole money of redemption aud government payment and to make national bank currency the sola circulating medium. Os all these bills, the Republican rartv stands peculiarly pledged to house bill No. 10.289, which was favorably reported to the last session with recoin men datiou that it pass, and we ask the people to send for it, and investigate it, to the end that no more secret financial legislation can be foisted on the statutes like the demonetization act of 1873, about which our statesmen have expressed the deepest regrets, but whish, in 33 years, we have been unable to undo.

ARE FEELING BETTER dons pleased over cordial spirit EXHIBITED BY PEACE DELEGATES. Surgeon Stsjir St-anian Protests Against Placing Sick Bol<li**r« on the Obdarn at Santiago—Aguinaldo Helmed a Civil List Until His Troops Are Paid. Madrid, Oct, 3.—The conciliatory and cordial spirit shown by the delegates to the Paris conference has produced a favorable impression. The newspapers, i discussing the proceedings of the conference, affect to believe that- the United States, besides respecting Spanish sovereignity in the Philippines, will also allow Spain to have a share in the settlement of the new regime in Cuba. Inspired articles assert that Spain will undertake to carry out the promised guarantee of the Cubau debts only until Cuba herself is able to pay the interest and sinking fund. A dispatch to The Imparcial from Paris declares that both the Spanish and American commissions have been instructed to act ad referendum. SURGEON’S PROTEST. Major Seaman Opposes Ob.lam Taking Sick From Santiago. Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 3. —Surgeon Major Seaman of the transport Obdaru declares that there will be a repetition of the awful horrors that have characterized the voyage home of the other transports if more sick soidiers are sent on board the vessel for transportation to New York. He says that when the Obdarn left Porto Rico many on board were sick, yet the first quartermaster refused to furnish wine for their use, hut supplied them with hardtack and canned food, saying that he had no authority to do more. Surgeon Seaman said he would hold him responsible | should any deaths occur, aud fiua lly succeeded in obtaining suitable food for those who were ill. He asserts that tile ship has every man that she can carry, aud that if she reaches New York without any deaths occurmg she will be lucky. Hearing that a number of other sick soldiers were to be sent aboard here, j the surgeon major made a protest aud stated that he was informed by Genj eral Lawton that his protests showed lack of discipline aud that an officer had been appointed to see how many j additional men the Obdarn could carry. Surgeon Seaman says be will cable to j Surgeon General Sternberg a protest disclaiming responsibility for whatever may happen. Mayor McLeary of Santiago, is endeavoring to compel the merchants tc sell the necessaries ot lift- at reasonaole figures. NEWS FROM MANILA. People of the Philippines Ilnther Distrust Americans. Manila, Oct. 3. —The national assembly at Malolos at a recent sitting voted Aguinaldo a civil list of $75,000, but Aguiualdo declined to receive anything until the army should have bteu paid. An attempt was made by Paleruo, the speaker of the house, to have inserted a clause granting him an allowance because of liis office, but the proposal was rejected. The assembly is now engaged in discussing the constitution. Everywhere is seen evidences of appalling struggles. Popular opinion favors autonomy, which it is generally expected will be established. The people rather distrust the Americans, who, beginning to realize th is fact, sent the cruiser Raieish to the northwestern ports for the purpose of showing the American flag and making friends with the natives. The cruisers officers endeavored to arrange an interchange of hospitalities, but the natives at first were unwilling to visit the ship unless hostages were landed. Finally, however, friendly feeling was established and the natives were agreeably surprised at the American attitude. A sanitary board, with an American at its head, has been established here. A corps of physicians are superintending sanitary work in all the districts of the city and vicinity. M'KINLEY DETERMINED No More Troops to lie Discharged — The Southern Soldier* Content. Washington, Oct. 4. —To a number of interested callers yesterday President McKinley had occasion to reiterate his determination to have no more troops mustered out for the present. In the course of several interview's he stated in substance that it was the intention of the administration to send fresh troops to Porto Rico to take the place of the volunteers who will have to be returned home and who will be given furloughs. He stated very firmly that there would be no general discharges until the situation was “cleared up.” The president also testified to his appreciation of the soldiers from the south. He said one of the results of the war which particularly gratified him was that the war seemed to have effaced the last vestige of sectional feeling as between the north and the south. He referred to the hearty responses from the south when the war broke out and concluded with the statement that if the elimination of all difference of feelings between the north and the south was to continue permanently he ] would be a happy man. He also spoke of the evident contentment of the southern troops to remain in service so long as they were needed. Colnoel Bryan Going to Hot Spring. Washington, Oct. 3.—Colonel William | J. Bryan has sufficiently recovered from his attack of fever to return to his regiment, aud this he intends to do in a few days. He left Washington today over ! the Southern railway for Hot Springs j and from there will go to his regiment.
