At a hisile ! of tbe gold bug filihiit-rT- th Mlver lieiiiiM rats abjectly turrrudcrrd. It was all a bluff, and thea-iiiiii. H-r-forniaiice ended by an kmi confrMofi in the Senate today. mator lUiivmi tilibuMered last night on the Mei-au side of the question. It wa noticed that he avoided the deserted cloak room dreading, sonu-lxMly suggested, that lie might encounter Vmi.-eV ghost. It is an unconditional surren der on the part of silver Icmocrats. Fear of an extra session of emigres is the alleged excuse, but it is a con fession of failure to redeem partv pledges. The debate to-day on the Wolcott resolution was desiiltorv until Senator Chandler got the floor and startled the Senate. He sounded a key note which alarms Republican leaders and his speech, commanding the close attention of a full senate has leen the chief topic of discussion among them to-day. Mr.Chandler, is an ultra New Kngland Republican, but is not blind ed to the unmistakable iinaiK-ial drift in this country to the single gold stand ard if as he says it has not already been accomplished. Whether the govern ment should pay its debts in silver or gold is insignificant, he said 'voinpar ed with the thousands of millions of obligations which weigh with crush ing force upon the millions of our fellow country men, equal to or greater in amount than they were a few years ago, while in the mean time half the world's money has been stricken from the ex istence, and the prices of all property from which debtors must derive the means to make their payments have gone down one-half." "There can be no prosperity under these conditions," he declared, with an emphasis that shook the galleries with applause. Hut the next climax waked up the Repub lican Senators. The Republican party, he said, is pledged by its national eon tion to establish bimetallism in this country. Gold monometallism is our destiny, if some affirmative at tion in another direction is not soon taken. If there are fl,(KK,0(K),(K) of gold and 1, (KM,(MH),(KKI or silver in existence, con situting together the world's meas ure of value and one-half of the quan- a. T a ? m m my is auanuoneu as a money metal and measure of value the other half appreciates in value and destruction comes to the values of all other property while all the debts of the world remain unreduced. This brings insolvency to debtors and ruin to business and enterprises To such a fate the people are now exposed. The adoption of the single gold standard has produced the impending calamity thai threatens the people with hope less bankruptcy. Rimetalism must be restored or another step forward means the issue between gold monometalism and silver monometalism. "It is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that the debtors are more numer ous than the creditors and that the citizens who want prices of property to o up out number those who want them to remain as they now are." The gallaries thundered their approval of the New Knglander's logic. Obviously and naturally both Republican a4id Democratic leaders would avoid this issue, but in action on the silver ques tion and the consequent adoption of the single gold standard inevitably ieaus to it. it is not hard to guess what the result will be, once the issue is submitted to the American people.
