The strongest platform that can be
written for reform would simply be a
demand for the free coinage Of silver
at a ratio Of 16 to 1, leaving the State
platforms to demand such other M.
Clonal reforms as were capabl8 of being
carried through in each particular
State. But even if such wise course
were pursued, the Wall street crowd
would still have a fine prospect of sue.

money in one OF two backwOoGS States

OF so much braggadocio and some lying
in all the political parties it is almost
impossible for the people to understand
in what q fearful sea of difficulties they
are beset and how doubtful is tho
success of their cause even if managed
by the pure and the wise. If the 80.
called reform press would oftener re-
publish in other States what l write in
this, the people would get face to face
with some truths not now sufficiently
considered. W. J. PEELE.
P. S.-Since writing the above,
Cleveland has issued his message. He
says he does not know the effect Of the
recent financial legislation in Congress
and does not propose to do anything
further till he sees what to do. Very
properly he has intimated that at the
proper time the whole problem will be
referred to the Rothschilds for solution
The Rothschild convention is more gsn,
orally known as the '"International
Monetary Conference" In a few more
years u government will be as com
pletely under the control of the great
banking houses of Europe as England,
Germany, Austria and some otherSnoW
are. Cleveland and Harrison are the
first Presidents who have openly and
shamelessly confessed that we must
seek the aid of the RothschiId none

cial legislation. The States IN when
British capital is so largely invested
