THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
The clear-headed, logical thinking men
of the party know that the people of this
country, the men at the head of the great
financial institutions, as well as the toiling
masses, demand a dollar which shall have
a purchasing power the world over of one
hundred cents.
All of this financial agitation has been
brought about by enemies of McKinley
who have sought to compass his ruin by
.seeking to draw from him utterances which
might be misconstrued to his own political
defeat.
The unmistakable national sentiment has
set too strong toward McKinley to be side-
tracked except by some sharp political
move.
It should be understood that throughout
McKinley's entire life he has stood for all
that is best and noble—an intensely
loyal and patriotic American.
Of course, all of this currency lalk has
had a detrimental effect upon business in-
terests, as it has retarded the investment
of capital, both by foreign and domestic
investors. But we may rest assured after
the Convention is held in St. Louis busi-
ness affairs will at once show considerable
improvement. In fact, we say that from
the hour the St. Louis platform is announced
business will show speedy signs of revival.
and thought not of the morrow, but that
time is not now.
Hence it is the duty as well as the right
of every journal which represents manufac-
turing interests in this country to express
itself in no uncertain language regarding
the situation.
We draw our sustenance from all parts
of America, we are not sectional or par-
tisan in our political views.
We believe in those principles which
bring the greatest good to the greatest
number of American people; and we
believe at the present time that the seas
will be less tempestuou-, and that there
will be a vastly augmented prosperity, when
McKinley walks the quarter-deck as captain
of the Ship of State.

Steinway & Sons have purchased the
piano and organ businesshitherto conducted
Pittsburg, Pa., under the name of Crawford
& Co., formerly Crawford & Cox, also the
branch at Erie, Pa. Steinway & Sons
will conduct the business in their own
name. The immediate result of this move
has been particularly gratifying to them,
as the sales made during the past week have
been surprisingly large.
As to the new wSteinway move in Cincin-
nati, it may be said that their establish-
ment on West Fourth street, uiuLr the
management of Mr. Urchs, is making an
exceedingly satisfactory showing. The re-
port of sales received at the home office
made during the past ten days, emphasizes
the wisdom of Steinway & Sons in estab-
lishing their own business in Cincinnati.
