AGAINST FREE COINAGE.

Referring to money, these were the gen
erals words: SIN our humble judgment,
not only as Republicans, but as Connect
cut men generally, those men do err not
only against economic experience, but
against morality, when they demand of the
nation that it shall pay the holder of 20
cents worth of silver ingots or gold spoons
coin that he may push upon his employees
and creditors for dollar. The govern
ment has paid him his extra 80 cents or 43
per cent. profit, and it then holds itself
bound to make good the aforesaid 30 cents
to whom ever carries the dollar.
"Our silver bill of 1890 does enough
when it puts out silver dollar for every
marketable dollars worth of silver to the
extent of 81, coo, 900 ounces year, and
when 1t pledges itself to make every dollar
Of whatever kind as good as any dollar of
any kind it is believed by the world that
saw US make good our paper dollars is
sued In the agony of war. We may not be
true prophets in saying unlimited coinage
would bring upon US non-metallic silver
currency, premium on gold, q derange-
ment of our International commerce and
disaster to our financial institutions, and
people, but we see no necessity for making
experiments so dangerous in face Of the
belief OF the WiSesJ tinanciers and the
wisest men of other lands. If all civilized
nations will join us in general attempt to
readjUst the ratio between the two metals
we can carry our end OF the bargain

THE PLATFORM.


The platform denounces the extrava-
gance of Harrison's administration de-
clares public Office is public trust; favors
tariff for revenue only. On the currency
question it says: 1--WE maintain the true
interests of the people demand sound, hon
est, stable money, composed or based on
ana redeemable in gold and silver coin of
equal intrinsic value; we therefore oppose
the project Of unlimited coinage of silver
dollars of less commercial value than gold
dollars as undemocralic, dishonest and
specially hurtful to the farmers and labor
ing classes first and the most defenseless
victims of an unstable money and fluctuat-
ing currency. We denounce the Repub-
lican legislation on this subject, more par
ticularly the Sherman act of 1890, after
cowardly makeshift and ineXcuseble waste
of the national resources in the purchase
and storage of tons of bullion per day, and
as menacing the maintenance of a sound
stable currency, we demand the repeal Of
that act"

crown the assault. We believe most i'm
plicitly in the wisdom and honesty and he
roic courage of him who led US for that as
sault, and now refreshed, revived and
united and fearless in our faith, we de-

be any eastern manufacturers who think
the enormous wool interests of the country
will consent 10 be left without any degree
