Show GOLDUTES PURPOSE I In his recent speech at Covington Secretary Sec-retary Carlisle said The first and most important step IE 1 for the people of the United States to make such a record at the polls on the third of next I month as will forever put an end to Vhe selfish and mischievous agitation of the currency question which has done more than any other one thing to paralyze industry destroy credit and depress our trade at home and abroad No one can be found who thinks that Secretary Carlisle does not fully under Jand what the program of the opposition oppo-sition Is relative to the financial question ques-tion He is handandglove with the McKinley managers on this question I and he is supporting Palmer and Buck ner in order to contribute to McKin leys election I No other man Is in a position to more accurately define the financial policy of the administration that would come jl into power if the Republicans should be j successful For four years the secre taiv has been In close touch with the I financial powers that are at the back of McKinleys campaign and he knows exactly what is to be done in the event I of McKinleys election Not only does he know but he proclaims it It will I not be supposed that he was Outlining Palmer and Buckners policy When he J said that the first thing for the people to do was to make a record at the polls that would forever put an end to the free coinage agitation When the secretary made that statement he was announcing the policy of the Republican Re-publican party How foolish it is in view of such a prearranged programme for any man to think of voting for Republicans for the house and senate in the hope that In the event of McKinleys election they would he able to induce him to reopen the agitation The Tribune asks silver Republicans here to vote for the Republican candidate candi-date for the national house and for legislative candidates who would choose I i a Republican senator on the ground that if McKinley should become president i presi-dent they might be able to induce him I to do something for silver The Herald wants voters to put right I alongside of that argument the purpose pur-pose of the Republican partya pur I pose clearly disclosed In every utterance I utter-ance of the party press and ln the I speeches of the party orators and that is reflected by the secretary of the treasury who stands sO close to the power that controls that party That purpose is to forever put an end to the agitation of the financial question ques-tion Whit possible hope can there be that McKinley would leopsn the question What excuse would there be for a man who should vote the Republican ticket upon such a theory It would be quite as reasonable for exconfederates to vote for Buckner In the expectation that he would be able to reopen negotiations respqcting Fort Donelson |
