How do you like the position of Mr. Me-
II read his speech at the convention with
care, and ii l understand him, no insists
that the American people are entitled to AZ
good money as any other people: by good
money of course he means gold money.
But he does not explain how the people
can exchange their property for the kind OF
money he advocates without mpoverishinR
themselves. 1t occurred to me that IL Mr..
Mckinley was 40 fond of good money as he
claimed to be. he ought to put q pound OF
gold in tho dollar instead of 2b.o grains.
Certainly a dollar containing q pound o.
gold would be a better dollar than = 2D.s
grain dollar. have no doubt our Euro
ing a pound to the standard dollar OF IN.

good by reducing its volume
or increasing its weight is past

whom both gold and silver were used as DOL

Mr., Campbell has shaken the confidence 0
the people by repudiating the platform o.
which he was nominated. The probablli
ties are that If there is no other candidst
, Mr.. Mckinley will beat Mr.. Campbell BY
