mands of the Demooratlo party plat
form.
The only excuse that lias been or
can be urged by the Demooratlo Sen
ators for refusing to vote for the re
peal of the law is.that it is all that
stands between the goldbugs and
monometalism, and that, with the
well known views of President Cleve
land against blmetalism, the repeal of
the law unconditionally or without
first having it distinctly understood
that there should be a substitute by
which the free coinage of silver would
bo assured, would be equivn’ent to
demonetizing silver and placing the
money of tllc country on a single
metal basis.
But, while It may be true that Pres
ident Cleveland Is opposed to tho free
coinage of silver, and that he would,
after the repeal of the Sherman law,
give his influence to the monometnl-
ists, this fact docs not Justlsfy the
course that lias been pursued by Dem
ocrats in the Sennte since the repeal
bill lins been under consideration in
that body. The repeal of the Sher
man law is demanded by the Demo
cratic platform; President Cleveland
acquiesces in this demnnd; the present
financial condition of the country
seems to demnnd it, and God knows
the business men and business inter
ests of the whole country nre
crying out for it. Senators who
nre standing out against repeal and
nre clogging legislation by nil sorts of
dilatory tactics and by talkingagainst
time for the purpose of delay only nro
making a mistake that is not only
costly to the country at large, but one
that is affecting the Democratic party
most disastrously. Let them repeal
the Sherman law, and then, if the
President should oontlnue to stand in
the way of free silver coinage he
alone, and not the Demooratlo major.
Ity, will be responsible to the people
for it.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels
has written a letter to the New York
World In reply to a request from that
paper for a review of the history of
the national banks during tho mone
tary troubles through which the coun
try has passed, in which he speaks a
good word for the banks of the coun
try generally ns follows:
-It is to lw until to tho credit of tho bntiki, and
the huotncsH intercuts of the country recognize
It, that tho general policy pursued by them in
not pressing collect Iohb and n general willing,
ness on their part lo renew paper, in tho lnr
gest measure prevented n general mercantile
panic, llie far-reaching effects of which cannot
he estimated.”
Wlmt the Comptroller of the Cur
rency says here to the credit of the
lmnks is true, especially with refer
enoe to the hanks In the South. Many
merchants and other business men
were enabled to “pull through” the
panic by the Indulgence of their local
banks, when, had they been refused an
extension nr renewal of their bank
papers, they would have been driven
to the wall. The Albany banks have
been very accommodating in this par
ticular, nml to tills, more Ilian to any
thing else, perhaps, is due the gratify
ing fact that our little city has been
conspicuously exempt from business
failures during the financial string
ency.
