Playing the voters for suckersj
is a very old republican game, but
ic is to be played again this year,
nnd, it' it wins, in l'.MKt, It is the
regulation three curd monte jnoliti-
(>«1 trick. The republican n.hninis-
tration, through its president and
secretary of the treasury, is lttanip
ulating the emtls so that in sec-
tions where s<une silver votes are
necessary to win, the cards will
show the republican party to be a
great friend of hi-m*t*lism and
many fairy stories will be told
about what Mr. MeKiuley expects
to accomplish ft r silver through
internatUmal bimctalisin, and in
sections where the gold standard
uentiment is held by a majority,
the cards Witt sh« w the republiunns
in their true colors--supporters « f
the gold standard. To be fore-
warned, and if any real friend of
silver gets caught in this game, he
and samplos to selsct frona lor 'V will deserve t«*he caught.

Czar Heed 'cracked the party
whij) and compelled the republican
majority of the house to stand up
and be counted against the Teller
resolution, declaring bonds to be
payable in silver at the option of
the government. Heed is no dod*
ger) whatever else lie may be. He
is for the gold standard and for
gold bonds, and he simply cnirtpell
ed the house to endorse the pay-
ment of bonds in gold by defeating
the Teller resolution, although
then* are lots of republicans wh«
would rather that he killed the
resolution by the pigeon-hole meth
o<l. If many of t,he republieahs'of
the liouee hiid dared to vote as
they thought, there would have
been enough of them with the solid
democratic vote to have overthrown
Reed's plan and adopted the
ler resolution.
Xenntor Chandler, who h.is b mi
conspicious in his chnnipionship of
McKinley's bimetalism, has this to
say of the latest attempt of the bit-
ter to enray gold on one, shoulder
and silver on the other: "The
President is trying to satisfy the
gold people and also prosecute in-
ternational bimetalism, which is a
very difficult thing for him to do,
1 ecnuse the former are not in fav-
or of any kind of bimetallism. So
he declares in favor of paying the
national debt in the best money in
the world, in deference to the gold
people, and aefaains from saying
that the best money in the world is
old, in order to avoid disturbing
the bimetallists, It may be snga-
tiou* policy, but it will be difficult
to pursue it much longer, if Secre-
tary Gage and his assistants are to
continue to declare, on every pos-
sible occasion, tlmt international
bimetallism is impossible, while the
president maintains that lie'is pros
ecuting negotiations with other
nations. The time will soon come
for the explicit declaration as to
whether Mr. (Inge or the president
represents the Republican party
