THE poPrtIsTs' PLATFORM.

There is really very little TO be SAID
about the platform adopted by the Popu-
lists at Lynchburg. 1t demands free
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the present ratio Of sixteen to one"
AT the present market price OF silver
(say seventy-one cents an ounce, the
silver In a silver dollar (Which Is 3nlA
grains OF pure silver is worth about M
ty-ive cents, as the ounce contains 40
grains. The Populists therefore demand
that Government shall coin all the silver
I'm the world. or as much OF IT as Is
brought TO the minis. into coins worth M
ty-hve cents each, and set them atioat
amongst the people as coins worth one
hundred cents each. Is there any farmer
fool enough to think this good fnancier-
ing7
They also demand that the United States
Government shall issue as many Of its
notes as the country desires chow many
the country may desire no one can say
based upon its credit and not on its in
debtedness."
t'o 20 NtAARNg - 'N
words. II is intended 10 declare that the
Populists want the national currency is
sued directly by the Government instead
Of by the national banks. But how IRA
tional TO seek TO create an idea that there
would be some difference in the character
of the responsibility Of the Government
in the two cases. The national ban
notes are based upon bonds of the United
States, and so the Populists say they are
based upon the Governments indebted
ness" The notes of the Government
would be issued by It directly. and so the
Populists say they are based upon the
credit OF the United States. But, If the
Government intends TO pay the notes II
issues they are indebtedness of il. and
what is the difference I'm principle or in
the Gcvernment's obligation If IT issues
the notes directly or If some one else
issues them based on its "indebtedness?'
In either case the Government is bound
for the notes.
But what Is 10 be done with this mar
velous kind of new notes? They are 10
be distributed directly among the peo-
pie, when demanded. on the security OF
their property. at a reasonable rate of in
t~erest."
JCwhillikens, Won't we all have a happy
time when this state OF affairs comes
around. This knocks the Dfspatch's plan
for "banishing panics and ending hard
times" into a cooked hat. The Dispatch
had as well hang It's harp on a willow
tree and of to the wars again." for no
one is going 10 become his own indorser
and then set "a SPY to watch himself TO
see that he does not cheat himself, when
he can step up to Washington. get his
congressman to certify to the Secretary
Of the Treasury that his old broom-sedge
fields are blue grass sod. and sell them
10 the Government for six times what
they are worth. We take 1t that most OF
such loans would end In sales Of the land
to the Government. and while a fellow
was selling he would be a fool not 10
sell for all he could get.
So that IL W. are going into the bust
ness Of 'banishing panies and ending
hard times" give us the Populists' plat
form every time. II we are going into
the humbuggery business. let's go into 1t
sure enough.

many Offices In the colonial days, but
they dropped out afterward, and families
like the Phillipses and other prominent
English families OF Long Island disappear
after the Revolution from the ofice-hold-

In the Revolution.

these old families. whose glories remain

much smaller then than now. and the

The ladies OF the City Mission beg their
friends TO aid them in supplying TO the
sick and suffering such comforts as are
needed to insure recovery. The number
OF sick children. and also the numerous
cases OF cancer and consumption among
the older people. requiring suitable food
and medicine, have caused such a heavy
drain on the treasury Of the City Mission
that the ladies are forced 10 ask for addi-
tional aid IN their work. Constant de-
mands are made for old clothing Of every
description, and touching appeals con-
stantiy come for rags to use in sickness.
Many of the mission visitors are absent
