Democratic and Republican. we find the same men who. upon the tariff question. have for years and years besought the American people to stand out against England. and Englands pauper conditions. and to maintain here under our own bright Stars and Stripes an American policy. now most active in trying to prevail upon the members of this House. by their editorial utterances. to surrender absolutely any idea of America having any policy of her own upon the money question. We find this true in the press of both of the great parties. and why does it happen? How does it happen that those who were so jealous of the American plan and the American policy. who have so roundly denounced the attempt of the Democracy to surrender to the Cobden Club and to the free traders of England and to bring our poor laboring men into competition with the pauper labor of Europe. how does it happen that now and here upon this question of greater importance you protest that we must wait upon England. that we must not remonetize until England consents. and that when we remonetize we must do so at a ratio which meets with the approval of England? What! Wait upon England to fix the ratio for us?
