such a result would enchance the price
Of silver bullion il is sufficient for US TO
know that a similar case would be i'm
mediately made in the price OF every
kind Of property except gold and credits
Ia the civilized world. 1t would be a
shallow, selfish class that would deny
to the mining industries at the cost Oh

legislation to demonetiZe silver has
given an unjust increase to the value

July IA, 1890, was a device Of the
enemy 10 prevent the restoration Of
free coinage, and il is greatly objection
able because it continues the practical
exclusion Of silver from the minis and
reduces it from a money metal 10 u

its repeal without the restoration of

further, the distance between the two
precious metals thus making the return
of bi-mettallism more difficult, greatly
increasing the purchasing power Of
gold, still further break down the
price OF the products OF the farmer,
laborer, mechanic and tradesman and
plunge still farther all commerce, bust
ness and industry into such depths Of
WretchedLess as to endanger peace;
the preservation of free institutions and
the very maintenance of civilization,
we therefore, in the name of the re-
public and OF humanity, protest against
the repeal Of the said act Of July II,
1890, except by an act restoring free
bimetallic coinage as it existed prior
to 1878.
Section recites that the "calamities
which now atllict the country" are not
due to the sherman act, and says the
same conditions now prevail over all
the gold standard world"
The remainder Of the platform is
merely a rehash Of the above senti-
ments in varying forms Of expression,
and concludes by denouncing the at
tempt TO repeal the Sherman law I'M
conditionally as IAN attempt to secure
monometalism in fragrant violation Of
the last national platforms of all the

POETRY AND THE MAGAZINE.

Editors Want Very Little, and Want
That in Short Lengths.
HaI'tfort Court: When the editor Of Il
magazine comes.to make up the con
tents for the month he finds certain
small interstices made by the prose
material which constitutes the bulk of
his reading matter and is Of shelf in
tereSt 10 his readers 1t is convenient
and even necessary to ill these up
with bits of verse, with short lyrics or
souuets, thereby giving variety to the
eye and the mind and also doing the
additionally correct thing by the muse
that highly respectable, classical
dame. Hence poetry of this sort is in
some demand by editors; as sort OF
filler when the more important part of
the publication is provided for. TO be
sure, when a famous name is attached
to the verse the contribution is valued
accordingly and if it fills more space
even there is no objection. But in such
a case the editor is paying for the name,
rather than for the poem, and the fact
oideutal part of the bargain. As a rule,
therefore, the magazines want brief
poems and not many of them, the gaps
in the solid prose ranks not being
many. Struggling young bards can thus,
with merit and by diligence, appear
with more or less frequency on the title
page Of the leading mOnthlies. if only
they make their flights brief and their
language condensed.
But supposing the young poet, In the
course Of time, having only tried his
wings with short poems, essays a more
sustained piece Of work, which alone
can show his metal and prove that he
has the staying quality and the broad
grasp Of art, which are necessary to the
recognized singer; what then? Is the
magazine his friend or his enemy De.
cidedly the latter, The editors don
want long poems; they won't have
them mt any price, o. at no price. Once
a year, perhaps hey will squeeze a
point and print 4 long effort Of some
welI-accredited verse-maker, but even
this they are shy Of doing. And as for
the ambitious younger man, they will
have none Of him. Let him stick to his
quatrans and sonnets or else get his
verse printed in book form, 1t is proba'
bly, that Keats unknown to fame, could
not have got his-Ode to a Nightingale
accepted by a modern magazine; its
length would have been dead against 1t
and its beauty would not have over
come the objection.
The fact must be faced by every ear.
