The New Issues Coming

The Adrián Timet (Kepubhcan) says : It is very evident that unless some change soon takes place in the feelings of the people on the question of the tinancial policy of the government the political issues of the coming fall will be contraction or expansión. If party Unes are drawn on thig question the old boundaries will, to a large extent, disappear, and men will array theniselves on one side or the other, as they are already doing, regardless of old political associations. On this issue it will be almost iinpossible to draw the party Unes. - Many Republicana favor expansión. This is undeniable. We think a large majority favor the honost keeping of pledges made to the country and the creditors of the nation, and getting our currency back to a specie basis as soon as possible. On the other hand the Domocracy are still more divided. A large and influential part of them are strongly tinctured with Pendleton's fínancial theories, and favor out and out repudiation, Another, and we think the larger portion, stand with the mass of the Ilepublican party on this question, and look with disfavor on anything that smacks of expansión or repudiation. If this statement of the status of members of both political partiesis correct, it is difficult to see where the inflationists will have numerical strength enough to make a very formidable opposition. Yet it is undeniable that their argumenta are specious. They appeal to all the latent dishonesty in haman nature, and, taking advantage of the present business stagnation, prescribe inflation as the panacea for our financial ills. We can hardly under the most favored circumstances recover from our present financial embarrassments before another election. There is no disguising the fact that specious appeals made to the industrial classes, and pointing out an apparent method of relief, will have their effect, and it behooves the friends of honesty and fair dealing to prepare themselves to meet the issue.
