The expressions, heard on every hand
how, that "straddling' ' and "platform
juggling" are things of the past, and that
the party which expects to win the com
ing presidential contest must declare itself
uneaui vocally on the issues of the cam
Wign, are not idle boasts to be forgotten
with the closing up of the lines as the
shock of battle approaches. It is agreed
that party ties never sat so lightly upon
the people. That is a most healthy indi
cation of political alertness on the people's
part, however damaging it may be to the
plans of those who put their faith in mere
party organizations. As the people are
the sovereign in this country, and it is
certain that the party organizations have
not well used their trust for some years
past, it follows that the people should not
only take steps to manage their own af.
fairs but that the more they study public
questions the more likely are they to
manage them in the public (that is, in
their own) interest.
These things being so, the greater is the
wonder that public men of ordinary discern
mcnt should continue to 1 ignore the signs of
the times. Here, for example, we find the
mephistophelean Senator from Ohio (we
mean the senior one of that description) say
ing to the reporter of the New York World
these foolish words :
"The financial plank of the Ohio Republi-
. f -
can piatiorm i regard as a souna expression
on the money question, on which Gov. Mc-
Kinley entertains the' same views that I do
myself. I believe, as I have repeatedly said,
in the widest possible use of silver as money,
consistent with its maintenance at a parity
with gold."
The fact that McKinley should have al
lowed his managers to commit him to such a
straddle on the leading issues of the day as
that of the Ohio platform on the currency
question and that Mr. Sherman should add
the potent weight of his approval to it, is no
longer a sign of what the popular judgment.
or even the party judgment, is to be. It is
an evidence of one of two things. Either
Messrs. McKinley and Sherman are so ac-
rnstnmerl to iMflintr rmKlir ttinmrhf' tfint tViv
t r -
fail to perceive the determination of the
public to do their own thinking; or, recog
nizing the fact just mentioned, they still hope
to bend the public will to their own, so as to
"sidetrack" the financial question and force
the tariff as the issue. The latter is proba
bly the truth. Is that good "politics" ?
That depends. It is good politics for Major
McKinley, personally, for, in a campaign
run upon any other issue than that of the
tariff, he would be literally, in the slang of
me day, a "Dack number." But is it
good politics for the ordinary politician ?
Certainly not, if his purpose be to serve
the people and to meet their unmistaka
ble desires. They care but little for
the tariff now that the McKinley act has
been repealed. Their minds are set upon
m m m . m
a reconstruction ot the money system.
For the course of Senator Sherman and
the'other Republican supporters of Mc
Kinley not interested in the personal for
tunes of the great one-idead protectionist,
another explanation must be sought. It
is the only explanation which fits the case
and, it is this : All the dominant political
forces are controlled by the money power,
of which Senator Sherman is a conspicu
ous and a consistent agent. Bear this in
mind and you have an explanation of the
McKinley bocm. McKinley is a mere in
strument for the carrying out of the larger

the party manipulators. It declares that
the Ohio deliverance is a straddle.
It is perfectly safe to assume that
between McKinley and an out-ana-oui
gold standard candidate, the Eastern Re
publicans would vote solidly for the latter no
matter what party name he bore. The quo
tation from the World throws another light
on the subject. On the financial question,
the World and Senator Sherman are at one.
And both recognize in McKinley's candidacy
the nnssibilitv of the same net result. The
World is more outspoken than the Senator.

Read the very interesting article which
we copy to-day from the New York Times
on "The Partition of Africa." First we
had the partition of America, now comes
that of Africa, next we shall have that of
Asia. Everywhere the English-speaking
race is seen in the lead, whether we con
sider what has been settled in the history
of the past four hundred years, or what is
taking place now, or the vantage grounds
for future action now occupied by that
race, lhe commercial instincts ot the
British and their insular habitat have
forced them to be free traders. That is
the secret of their outstripping the Latin
races in the colonizing- and conquest of I
the globe. By failing to follow the Eng
lish lead in respect to commercial freedom
we have bottled ourselves up. By adopt
ing, in our isolated condition, the Eng
lish monetary system, we have still fur-
thur injured ourselves, because that sys
tem is fit only for a nation which has at
tained the position that England has, viz:
as a creditor of all the other nations, our
selves included.
