I ' ' not settled; The gold Democratic p apefs and the Republican papers seem to take It for granted that, the last election settled the. question as to the gold standard, but it did nothing of the kind. It settled it for four years; whether for longer than that depends very much on the course, within these four years of the party that has come into power. While in one sense this was a verdict of the American people which will be bowed to, it is not really so much the verdict of the , people as the Verdict of the! cities where-the large majorities for the gold standard came from. Take out. those majorities and the -majority for McKinley and the gold standard would be wiped out. '.. .;-; V . While it may hold in law and an -swef all practical purposes a verdict secured by deception, j intimidation , v or fraud is no verdict at ail, and as to the merits of the case leaves it just where it was before thej verdict was rendered. An intimidated, coerced or deceived jury is bo jury at a'1, al though its rendering may be in ac cordance with law and have all the force and effect of law.

(:' We know how the fears of the manufacturers themselves were worked upon by the countermanded orders, which were permitted to stand only on the -condition that McKinley was elected. ; ; We know how, the mortgage was held over the heads of: the farmers in some States, with the threat that these mortgages would be foreclosed if the - givers of 'them voted for I Bryan. ;."' ,: ' - ;: '.;;; We know how the money-lenders - framed their contracts to be paid in gold and did business only on that condition.- :" .'

We know the pressure that some: of the great railroad corporations of the country brought to bear upon their thousands of employes to In , fluence them against a reform in the gold standard system. ': - j , We know how the stock market was depressed at bjorae and abroad - We know all, this and much more - d yet the organs and spokesmen of the gold men have the colossal cheek to talk about the "verdict of the people" and the immense popu lar majority that "settled" this ques tion. - . ':: - '- . : It settled nothing but the power of the mighty combinations under the manipulation of unscrupulous party - leaders to secure such a verdict. But such as it is the verdict stands nntil tccan oe reversed In the vided by law. ii way pro- Bat the American people are not fond of agitation for the sake of agitation, or just to have something , to get excited over. : They strive for substantial results, t and they never , agitate without; a cause. t If they secure what they want; although not in t,he exact way they had in view or in the fall, measure that they de sired, being a practical people," who seek results and care but little for the way in which the .results come, they will accept them,; and agitate the , less, and hence we !say that the' ex tent to which the financial nnf fiffnn may be settled will depend very how the , party which will mucn on r - - " ' W e come into Dower next March will deal with it- If it ignores its pledges to endeavor to bring about inter national agreement for the coinage of silver, and shows no disposition to ; study and ' heed . the im pressive ."object lesson"- pre sented in the past campaign, and in the millions of -votes that were cast for Win; J. Bryan by men of all parties,- men who : differed on air party issues and agreed on that sole one of the restoration -of silver, then the agitation of the; past will will be nothing compared to the agitation that will be. .V''-.': ,' What the party will do remains to be seenbut there Is one thing cer tain, it cannot ignore its .pledges without inviting an. antagonism that may cost it its life. If it listens to the advice of the extremists who would disregard its pledges and its declarations friendly to silver it will, find itself deserted by the thousands who put faith in these pledges and stood by it hoping that thus the question . of bimetallism would be happily and effectuallysolved with oat injuriously affecting our financial or commercial relations with other nations. There" are thousands of such who do not believe that the re cent verdict of the people settled the question ;for all time, but rather agree with the view taken by the Washington Post, a gold standard paper, in the following which we clip from an editorial commenting: upon the opinion expressed by Senator Teller : ;:". ' : : "We; inspect that there are a great many advocates oi international bimet allism, a great many badness men who voted last week agaiost silver mono metallism, who have serious doubts of the ability of our Government to brine atom an international arrangement upon a doable standard. But the McKinley administration and the Fifty-fifth Con gress will come in under a solemn pledge and mandate to renew negotiations for such an arrangement, and to do ail that can properly be done to forward the movement. We think "Senator Teller has no reason to doubt the sincerity of Mr. McKinley. He has always been in favor of bimetallism, and it is a well known fact that his friendliness to silver was urged by Eastern influences against his nomination. We believe that he and his party will mike a prompt and persis tent effort to induce the European pow ers to join the United Statesin a bimet allic agreement. Political necessity not less than common fairness will dictate that coarse. , ' . - . "Bat while we hold this view as to the probable action of the Republican parti; upon its restoration to power.it is an undeniable fact that there are in dications in some quarters of a ten dency toward the iulfiilment of Senator Teller's predictions.' The Milwaukee Sentintl, an influential Republican or gan, says: 'We need a currency consist ing of gold and bank notes, with no ad dition of full legal tender silver It adds that 'since it is settled that our standard is to remain gold,' and as soon as we have retired the greenbacks and Treasury notes, and provided a substi tute for them, the best thins; we can all do i to accept oar currency ( system as an established fact, and to pay no more and no lets attention to it than the cur rency systems of England and Germany get from level-headed Germans and Eng lishmen." '" . '. ;.--v We do not know how, when, or wnere it was 'settled that our standard is to remain gold.' There is no such thing in the St, Louis platform. The Indianap olis platform it the only party creed of this year-that declares unconditionally far gold. It was not McKinley and Ho bart, bat Palmer and Backner, who ran on that. We think it quite probable that gold will continue to be the only stand aid, bat that has not vet been ettlMf.' Meanwhile, we have about 1600.000.000. in silver money, and the mints are coin ing more millions every month." jThe question as it stands now is not settled by a good deal, the late popular verdictjo the contrary not- withstanding. . 1 .

The Government looks upon Spain as having, pursued aa unsuccess ful ana brutal warfare on her depen dency, bat jast when and through what means an end of it can be reached seems to be yet undecided. The theories ad vanced are many bat the impression is strong, although it is merely aa under current of feeling with possibly no sonna oasis, that it wiu not be long be fore an end will occur.! At the white House and State De partment there Is maintained the cus tomary secretiveness and indisposition to disenss the question, It may be that the President contemplates embodying in his message a fail report of the pro ceedings passing between Spam and this Government and will then declare hie pOUCy. . ;-; .js:" U SOMETHING MAY .

Bat when the culmination will occur not even the administration, it is believed, has any idea, and whether it will come throueh jome overt act of Spain or by the recog nition 01 tne oeiugerencv 01 the island is not yet clearly defined. The former theo ry is the one more generally accepted, although it seems foolhardy for Spain to piace nerseu in sucn a position. Spain is known to be fighting not only to hold Cuba, but to maintain the present Gov ernment at home. Her recognition of failure to hold the island would be im mediately availed of by the opposing party to unseat the. present administra tion. If, therefore, Weyler cannot per sonally, at the head of the Spanish forces, subdue the Insurgents within a reasonable time, it is assumed in Wash ington that Spain must be compelled, through sheer lack of funds to maintain the warfare, to withdraw from Cuba and acknowledge she is powerless. - .
