While the English people are seeking
to end their house of lords and we
Americans to mend our senate it
should not be forgotten that similar
movements are in progress throughout
Europe. France, in seeking to revise
h'i constitution, has in mind the re
construction of her senate on more
popular lines and the abolition of the
life eenatorships. In Italy the senate
is already not much more than an em
asculated body of aristocrats having
no control over and not much influence
with the chamber of deputies. Ger
many has two bouses still, but thebun
desrath has no influence or authority.
It goes through the motions of assent
ing to laws passed by the reichstag, but
all the legislative power is nested in
the latter body.
In a word, it has dawned upon the
world at this late day that the dual
system of law-making is not what
fancy and the fevor of early constitu
tion builders painted. No scheme has
yet been devised to give power to an
upper house without giving the power
of veto, and the spirit of this latter day
does not brook such authority in a body
which doe not represent the people.
On the other hand, if the upper house
be shorn of its authority altogether
what excuse has it for existence ?
It will be a curious, but not improb
able, result if this republic shall stand
by and take its cue in this most im
portant popular reform from monar
chical Europe.
Tom Bkkd's prophecy is that a tariff
for revenue will develop manufactures
in the west. If be knows nothing
about the tariff be is Lot fit to lead a
party. If he know anything and if
telling what be knows the west cannot
afford to cast a vote for a protection
party. Take Reed at his word and the
west Hiust be unanimous democratic.
Washington, D. C, March ly, 1S94.
Although the Bland seigniorage bill
passed the senate last Thursday and
went to the president, it is still un
signed, and the feeling grows that the
president means to permit it to be
come a law without bis signature. The
management of the bill in the senate,
as I said in a former letter, devolved
upon Senator Harris of Tennessee,
and it was like a picnic to watch with
what a round turn he brought the op
position to time. He is a consummate
parliamentarian, and would allow no
juggling.
Congressman Bryan returned to his
post of duty yesterday very well
pleased with his western tour. The
receiption tendered him at Denverwas,
by all accounts, one of most distin
guished consideration the leading
men of all parties uniting in doing him
honor. The speech was printed in full
in the News, and largely in tue Times
and Republican, and all of the news
papers praise it as one of rare power
and elevated iu tone. "Judging by the
following extract from the- News the
second day after, the address is having
an effect that is not ephemeral:
"VOKSE THAN DYNAMITE.
Comment op a Republican os Cookessman
Bryan's Speech.
Congressman Uiyan's and his speech
at the Broadway theatre, as reported
exclusively in the News, weie the sub
jects of general comment in the city
yesterday. "Three speeches like that,
from such a man as Bryan, would smash
the republican party in Colorado," re
marked a life-long republican who has
largely modified his political views
since the Broadway theatre meeting.
The remark was heard many times
during the day that the address was the
most convincing political argument
ever beard in Denver. The stalwart
Nebraska statesman touched a cord
which will continue to vibrate for many
a month in Colorado. The contrast
between such a man as Bryan and Gov
ernor Boies of Iowa, the speaker of the
Greystone club two years ago. on the
same platform, is indeed striking and
was remarked upon by the great au
dience. Judging also by newspaper accounts
the meeting at Omaha was a gratifying
success, and resulted happily In
strengthening the cause of democracy
by paving the way for unity on lines
which are not only democratic but in
conformity with the true interests of
the state and the country at large. The
trouble with thedemocracy of Nebraska J
seems to have been a multiplicity of
leadership with an insufficiency of
brains, singleness of purpose or public
confidence to back :t up. The leader
ship, too, has largely been of the picay
une persuasion that is measured by
the lust for office, instead of a desire to
help and promote tbe public good.
When, however, a man makes his ap
pearance who has the real genius
for leadership the people recognize him
at once, just as the children as Israel
recognized Moses as their real leader,
and will follow him despite the efforts
of pretenders to draw them away.
Some men imagine that the silver
question or bimetallism is settled,
never to be resurrected, but they never
were more mistaken. I was in the sen
ate chamber the other day when Sena
tor Vilas wasmakiDg his speech against
the seigniorage bill. Alongside of me
sat an Englishman who has been quite
a traveller, and we engaged in conver
sation. "It is little wonder,"' eaid he,
"that the public is puzzled at the cur
rency theories when senators pay so
little regard for facts."' The senator
had just declared that gold was
"money'' everywhere, when Senator
Teller said, "No, in India, for example,
it is not available for money any
more than diamonds are' The
Wisconsin senator replied: "These
silver advocates always have to
ride off to some country where
we are in the dark as to the facts."
"That little debate illustrates what I
mean," said my traveling friend. "Not
only is gold coin not money in the east,
but you could not get a breakfast for a
sovereign or a 5 gold piece in many
parts of British India. And further,
in the eastern provinces of Russia the
peasants will not take Russian gold
coin except at an actual discount, not
withstanding the fact that gold is
quoted at 10 per cent premium over the
paper rouble. If I were asked what
coin circulated at par over the largest
area in the world, I should say without
hesitation, the Mexican silver dollar.
Indeed, I don't know of any country
of the old world, whether civilized or
savage, except a part of Africa, where
it is not convertible at par. In Ceylon
it is current money; in the entire Malay
peninsula it is tbe currency. It is the
currency mint of China. Any bank or
any bourse of Europe will take it.
Why is it so popular? Why has it
superseded throughout all China the
trade dollar of France and the United
States? I can give no other reason
than this one that it is legal tender at
its home, and the Mexican mints are
open to coin it in unlimited amounts.
If 1 may take Senator Vilas us a repre
sentative of pold monometallism, then
I think Sir George Cheney's recent
statement is justified in your country
also that the world is divided into two
schools the bimetallists and tlieinono
metalhsts into those who understand
the question and those who don't."
The more I think over what that
Englishman told me, the moie it seems
to have the stamp of truth.

I.KMOlliATS IN KANSAS
Some Kansas politicians calling
themselves the "stalwart democratic
committee" announce their purpose of
putting an independent democratic
ticket in the field if the regular demo
crats fuse with the populists. The ef
fect of such action, of course, would be
to aid in the election of republican
candidates. The nat ion as a whole is
not vitally concerned in the character
of the state government of Kansas.
Whether it be demociatic, republican
or populist is of serious import to Kan
sans, but not to the rest of the people.
The choice of representatives in con
gress, however, is a matter of more
general concern.
The Kansas delegation in the house
of representatives now comprises one
democrat, three republicans and four
populists. In the votes on tariff, silver
and income tax these populists have
voted with the democratic party. For
purposes of possible national legislation
they are democrats better democrats
than most of those who find their way
to congress from New Yoik or New
England.
If people calling themselves "stal
wart" or any other kind of democrats
aid indirectly in the substitution of re
publican congressmen for these popu
listic members they will do the nation
and their party an injury. Party
loyalty is a proper spirit, but patriotism
is a higher aim, and the part of the
patriotic citizen is to aid in getting the
people's work properly done, whether
the agent doing it call himself populist
or democrat.

$1,500 to loan on farm security on
i8t or :Id mortgage. J M. Leyda.
Mr. Cleveland is keeping Irscounsel,
but Washington thinks it can see that
he is sure to veto the seigniorage bill.
There is no standpoint from which a
veto would not be a blunder.
lie is a fool and not a financier who
could anticipate that a nation which
has nearly paid off a national dett of
billions has not credit enough to float
$1,000,000,000 of silver certificates if
had that many standard dollars on
hand. The moment the Sheiman act
wasrepeaWl the most xtravagant gold
bug in Christendom must have been
satisfied, if he kuev anything of
monetary science, that the United
States could do an j thing it pleased
with the bullion accumulated, and not
affect the stability of the currency a
particle.
The only possible argument of the
honest gold bug would be that the bill
is a step toward free coinage. But it
is not free coinage, and a veto will not
check the free coinage movement
Therefore, the honest gold bug would
see that if free coinage is coming it
will come in spite of the veto: and if it
is not coming, the issue of certificates
under a slow coinage will not disturb
faitii in the power of the government
to deal with its obligations. In fact
the bill is a better thing for the gold
standard than a veto would be. It
treats silver as token money really,
and leaves the standard untouched
The impetus a veto will give to free
coinage will not stop there.
The protest against the bill is not
due to fear of the currency's stability,
but to a determination on the pprt of a
clique to force bond issues. The clique
is opposed to anything which will en
able the treasury to bridge the deficit,
When the government is compelled to
borrow, there is a chance for specula
tion. There is also a probability of a
big turn in -ilver before many years,
and the operators would prefer to see
that depressing mass of idle metal lit
untouched for the present.
To say nothing of the political effect
of a veto, the coinage of the bullion is
so plainly a correct business policy for
the government which owns it that a
veto can only be regarded as an extra
otdiuary pi- e of rigidity in dealing
with an economical question in which
rigid theory has never been deemed ad
visable in practice by any civilized
country.
