THE REPUBLICAN national convention
at Minneapolis declared that the people
favored bi-metallism and that the Re-
publican party demanded "the use OF
both gold and silver as standard
money" The Democrats at their ma
tional convention in Chicago declared a:
1--WE hold 20 the use OF both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
country, and to the coinage OF silver
and gold at ratio discriminating
against neither metal" The Peoples
Party in convention at Omaha declared
in favor of free and unlimited coinage
of silver at ratio of l6 to and for "a
national currency. safe, sound and
flexible, issued by the general govern
ment only, full legal tender for all
debts" The Prohibitionists in their
national convention at Cincinnati,
ignored the silver question, and the
Socialists held no convention, though
they ran candidates for president and
vice. president. But the Great-I-Am,
Grover Cleveland, tell the people that
they are all fools, and that only himself
and his friend, Johnny Bull, really
know what this country vans.

THE WINDOW PLAN.

There is talk in many quarters OF re.
viyal OF plan suggested by the late
Secrethry Window, OF utilizing silver
as a basis OF circulation. The plan was
proposed by Mr., Window while he was
at the head OF the treasury department,
but the Sherman bill, so-called, was
put in its place. The Window pro.
posal was, in substance, that the gov
eminent buy silver bullion at its mar
ket value and issue certificates there
fore, just ss is done under the Sherman
act; but under the Window plan, the
certificates would be redeemable, not
''in coin," as under the Sherman act,
but in silver bullion at it's market
value in gold on the day when the GER
tificates were presented for redemp.
ton.
1t seems clear it would have been
much better measure than the Sher-
man act, because there would have
been, under its operation, no drain Of
gold from the treasury, and very
large and indeed practically unlimited
amount OF silver certificates could have
been made to circulate at par with gold
money. The certificates, it was argued,
would always be as good as gold, be-
cause OF the right OF the holder to re-
ceive for them silver bullion equal to
their face value in gold. But this plan
congress would not receive, for the
reason that go many members wanted
to provide a cheap currency and "get

away from the tyranny of gold values. +"
1t is probably too late now to resort
to this "plan," or to any other which
might be regarded as experimental.
The necessary thing now is to stop
short, so there may be opportunity of
recovery from uncertainty and panic.
To do away with distrust, to establish
confidence, to get upon the bedrock, is
necessary before any further measures
OF tentative character are employed.
Free and unlimited coinage at ratio of
10 to is the only thing now that will
solve the money problem. There is no
time for compromises or experiments.

The Oldest Church.

The oldest Christian church in the
world is at Rome. Not far from the
great church of st. Maria Maggiore,
in a street bearing the same name, is
the much smaller church of st. Pu-
entiana, which tradition, as well as
the opinion of archaeological experts
declares to be the most ancient of the
Christian edifices of Rome.
About the middle of the first cen
fury certain Roman senator named
Pudens had house on this spot. He
was a Christian convert and, it is
said, a distant relative of Paul the
Apostle, who lodged with him from
A. D. Al to so, and converted his two
daughters, PraXedes and Pudentiana
For the religious uses of himself and
guests he built small chapel in this
house, and when he died III 90 and
his wife a year later his daughter
added a baptistry, the plans for
which were drawn by Plus. the then
bishop of Rome. In course of time
a church was erected on the site of
the original house of Pudens and con
secrated by the bishop in los or l45
