THREE PARTIES ENDORSE TT
Within the month just past the state
conventions Of three distinct political
organizations in a. many different states,
widely separated geographically, have
placed in their platforms a demand for
the free coinage OF silver and gold 1t
the ratio OF 16 70 T. No one doubted that
the Populists Of Kansas would take this
position, but since they have been fol
lowed BY the Republicans Of California
and more recently by the Democrats OF
Michigan, it looks IS If the people Of the
country were about to take up this mat
ter regardless Of party. The silver plank
il the platform Of the Michigan De-
mocracy is a. follows, and Incidentally
levels a blow at the national banks:
1--WE declare in favor Of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at a ratio that
will permit the debtors to pay their debts
upon the same basis on which they were
contracted. We demand that henceforth
the issuing Of all circulating medium be
made under the acts of congress, through
the national treasury. in such amounts as
the business wants of the country may
require. and it shall be full legal tender
Partisan bias and prejudice may
keep the friends Of silver apart at the
approaching elections, bur there j. good
reason 10 believe that it will not keep
them apart in the next congress. :
large majority Of the people Of the Uni
ted States are demanding the restoration
Of silver to its former place in the cur
rency Of the country and they are going
to have il. The action Of the three con
ventions alluded to indicates that the
men who make platforms for political
parties are beginning to recognize this
fact President Cleveland will perhaps
be the last person to find it out.

MILAN'S GREAT SHOW
IT IS IN EVERY WAY WORTHY or
THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY.

4 Castle Dating From the Fifteenth Centu-
~ Is Used One OF the Most Important
Buf1dings-Hasty Review Of some of the
Most Notable Features.
According to all accounts, the exposi-
ton now going on at Milan is one of
the most successful of the year, judged
both from the quality of the show itself
and the attendance of visitors
The exposition grounds are to the
north of the city, centering in the his
toric old castle Of the Sforza- Visconti, a
structure that has had prominent place
in Milanese records ever since the If
teenth century. The scheme for the
present exposition was preached in the
public journals as early as March, 1898,
and although last year was one of de-
preston in Italy and indeed in all Eu-
rope as well as in America, the Milan
ese took hol1t of the matter at once and
with enthusiasm, and by the beginning
of 1894 it was we'll understood by the
people of the entire country that Milan
was not only in earnest, but quite COM
petent to organize and carry through to
a successful termination a fair that
would combine transient interest with
permanent benefit both to Milan and
indirectly to her sister cities.
Not only is the exposition fortunate
in being allowed the use of the castle
and its grounds but the president of the
executive committee, who has had
charge directly of the work Of construc-
ton and arrangement, is the Prince Gil
