Senato'rf-Sli’hrman’s Speech. .
Senator Sherman’s speech delivered
’in the Senate lsst week will attract wide .
attention and both parties will give
great weight to the exposition 'by the
veteran statesman and financier of the
situation and his views as to what ought,
to bedone to relieve it. . . '
He points out clearly. the truth, that
our'recent troubles cannot 7 properly. be
all charged to {the law bearing his
name, but he fators repeal because he
believes such action will help bring the
desired relief. He shows that free coin:
age nieans silver monometallism and
can mean nothing .else, and urges that
the Secretary of the Treasury should
be authOrized to sell bonds to secure
. gold whenever necessary to maintain
the parity between the two money met-
als. It is a‘strong speech, in refresh-
ihg‘contrastngr its clear, plain, com~
mon sense presentment of the case
with the woefully muddled spouting we
have had from the mere politicians.
More'Cllp-s frommthe World.
. , The New York Worldcertainly breaks
all records for a party organ. ' Its
methods of supporting President Cleve-
land and his administration are-cer-
tainlypeeuliar and bewildering. Mon-
day’s paper-has such quie ting ' con'
fidence inspiring sentiments as these :
The danger is now imminent._ The
‘. available cash in the Treasufiy 1s fast
disappearing. If Congress_ oes not
provide ways and means for, increasing
the revenues the Treasury must default.
Expenditures are increasing and rev-
enuesare falhug'ofi‘. '
The problem before Con rose is not
to discover the responsibi ity but to
workbut‘a remedy. According to the
present rate of out-go and income, ex-
. penditures for the current fiscal year
will amount to $426,000,000, while the
' receipts willhe only 83.30.000.000.
y ' Thefs‘ituatioir‘is very serious.
It is now. in order for Benjamin Har-
rison to express an opinion on the
President’s management of the popu-
lar end of the “Wild team.” ‘
. Lessons of LabOrDay. -
Although the army of the unem-
ployed 'is distressingly large, the toil-
ing masses who yesterday celebrated
Labor Day havegdespite present con-
ditions, mu‘chf reason for hope and'faith
in the certainty of returning prosperity
- to this great and powerful nation.
There is a hopeful significance in this
very holiday. Labor Day is the token
of a wider recognition of the identity
of interest which Exists between the
.workmj'aii and his empIOyer.' It is.a
7 day dedicated by law to the cause of
the teller, whose rights and privileges
- are year by year attaining to a higher.
’ respect and‘a broader dignity in the
afi'airs of the world. , .- , .
The progress made by the cause of
Americanlabor in recent years is 'a
most significant and encouraging sign
of the times. This is conspicuously
shown inthe legislation designed ‘to
remedy the grievances, protect ._ the
rights ”and advance the condition of
wage earners. Every 'year laws have
been passedofor that purpose. Labor
Day itself signalizes the State’s recog-
nition of the dignity of labor and the
advance of the cause in popular senti-
ment and sympathy. , 5 ,
It should never be' forgotten‘that
these are the achievements of law abid— .
ing demand. . .
During the last few months the whole
American people' have had a'vpainful.
experience. _We have felt both peer
and depressed. The _agonies which
business men have _eudur’ed‘wbuld
moisten the ‘eyes of angels; with' pity.
Scores of brave souls with families de-
pendent .on them have fought with the
courage of a forlorn hope. Daughters.
hurled from the drawing room to pov-
erty, sons taken from‘ college and high
prospects, are not matters to be looked
upon with indifference. Twenty years
of successful business," toppling on the,
edge of the chasml' The carefulz-savé
ings of a lifetime blown aWay like a
mist in a whirlwind. And the same is
' true of the wage earners. They want
broad, but there can be no bread with—
out work. A mill shut down is likc‘an
“avalanche . that buries them, ' There
imay. be money enough somewhere, but
‘ money hid‘away is money lost. When
the rich hold onto their'cash the poor.
,must sufi‘er. ‘ . . '
Despite all this, our country is yet
rich and poWerful, and no deserving
. law abiding son or daughter of” tail
‘ need suffer for food. There are many
hopeful omens of brighter days to come
