The finances of the nation must not be thrown into dis order. Our honor as a people who have always paid their debts in full in money that was worth its face value in every market place in the world, must not bo sacrificed. Our vast foreign trade must not be disor ganized and subjected to a long pe riod of waste and loss, caused by a 11 actuating currency ehanges. Our still vaster internal trade must not be thrown into the abyss of inflation that is always produced by the issu ing of a debased currency and the inevitable driving out of gold, where by all values and prices are first forced upwards to fictitious figures which they cannot bo maintained, with the result that when they drop, as they must when the reaction comes, disaster and rniu mark the path of the recoil from the debauch of inflation throughout the Union All these things will come to pass if the reserve forces of the conserva tive business classes are not called intoeffective action to prevent them. There are, it ia true, gratifying signs that the cause of sound money is already in a fair way to be vindi cated in the pending contest. Dem ocrats who have stayed in their party ranks all their lives are coming in thousands to the direct support of William McKinley, of Ohio. It is now peen, with growing distinctness that McKinley is no longer the mere in the house oE his friends, or of those who should bo his friends. Them was no disposition among the delegates who went to Chicago for tho purpose of declaring Demo cratic principles to condemn the Cleveland administration in any for mal or organized way. Ihe party was willing to extend to Cleveland tne cnarity ot its silence, it was impossible for a Democratic conven tion to approve Clevelandism, but it was possible to repudiate him by the eloquence t f silence. . This was the conro determined upon. It was the st'Utim: at of every man in tho ma jority with but tew exceptions, it was dictated by motives not only ct party policy, but of public decency. When the gold minority in the platform committea placed in the ni'nority report a resolution indors ing Cleveland it invited that con demnation of the President which tho convention had been anxious to avoid. It forced the party to spew out tho bad taste in its mouth which it had been willing to swallow for the sake of decency. Mr. Hill's the atricals made a bad matter neither worse nor better. It is impossible not to sympathize witn JUr. Cleveland in hi3 humiha turn- He ha3 been disgraced by those he nas served. He has been left naked by those whose livery he has worn. The party which has heaped honor and emolument upon him has been forced, against its will, to brand him as unworthy, false to it and to the country. Et tu, Brute?
