money would 60 from its hiding place into
tho great avenues to business where 1t be-
longs. If It is true, as the administration
boldly proclaims, that our financial dis
tress Is occasioned by the silver purchase
law which requires tbs government to buy
4,500, 900 ounces of silver every month
and issue treasury notes therefor, then
why does not the administration convene
congress and repeal that lswi Mr.. Cleve-
land plainly sought its repeal before his
Inauguration, but we have heard lit
tie from him in that direction since.
With tine congress democratic in both
branches elected by the same constituency
which elected Mr.. Cleveland, with undis-
puted authority in him under the consti-
tuition to convene congress, he Issues no
call and takes no steps to repeal the law
which he believes is the cause of our dis
turbed business condition. Believing he
knows the cause of the trouble, he makes
no effort to remove 1t; and in this is his
responsibility, and from 1t he cannot
escape. Three months have gone blythe
country waiting and suffering, and con-
gross is unconvened, and its assembling in
extraordinary session Ia now as doubtful
as it was three months ago. What he is
doing we do not know. He has no time
for ofice-seekers, that ia certain. He
has closed the doors of his Off
oial household in their faces; that il
susceptible of proof. He Will not see
them. If he is giving attention to the
business condition of the country-which
we sincerely hope he is-he Is to be COM
mended. But he should not lose sight of
the fact that he cannot, unaided, supply
the remedy for our vexed condition.
Whether he wants to or not. congress must
be taken into his confidence. Inconven-
lent as that may seem to the president,
congress must be consulted. If he has
been Withholding the call for an extra ses-
sion of congress in the belief that still
greater financial distresses and still added
bankruptcies are necessary to bring his
party associates to the adoption of his
views, then democratic sscsndency will
prove costly lesson to the people and an
expensive experiment to the country.
The report of the committee on resolu-
lions which was adopted ia as follows:
"The republicsns'of Ohio by their dele
gates in state convention assembled, de-
clare as follows: We endorse and reafirm
national republican convention in June,
1892.
"We indorse and commend the admins
tration of Benjamin Harrison while presi
dent of the United States ss eminently
natriotie wise pure and inst"
After speaking of state matters and ap
proving Governor McKinley's administra
ton the platform continues:
'We favor the policy of full and sde-
quate protection to American labor and
Industries.
"The best exempli6cation of the princi-
pie of protection and reciprocity that has
found expression In the statutes Is the Nc
Kinley act. We cordially declare our adj
hesion to the doctrines of that great meaa-
ure and favor such amendments thereto as
time and experience may show to be advis-
able.
"We condemn the bill passed by the
democratic majority in the house Of repre-
sentatives of the last congress and the
present avowed policy of the democratic
party to place wool on the free list, as an
unjust and ruinous attack on all the sgri-
cultural industries of the country. We

the policy of the National grange that all

the United States We demand the enact

against the influx OF. q vicious and GRIM

We favor honest money. money composed (,

domination. We denouncs the avowed
