THE STATE CONVENTION.
A Short Session Tuesday Morning,
Temporary Officers.

The proceedings of the great gath
ering of Minnesota Populists today,
opened with a meeting of the state
central committee in the parlors of
the Brunswick Hotel between and 10
o'clock this morning. 1t was an ex-
tremely harmonious gathering. The
committee recommended the follow
ing, for the temporary organization:
Thomas J. Meighen, chairman;
Louis Hanson, secretary; p. j. See
berger and Robt. Eckford, assist
ant secretaries; G. H. Johnson, read
ing clerk; Albert Harris, sergeat-at-
arms; H. A. Swain, assistant sergeant
alarms. 1t was also decided to re-
commend that the chairman ap
point two men as chairman and
secretary of the committee on creden-
tials and that each county name one
member of the committee. This
plan relieves the chair of a heavy re-
sponsibility of appointment. 1t was
also decided to recommend that each
delegation present cast the full vote
for its county after the manner of the
national convention. $50 delegates
are present.
The evening session will be taken up
with addresses of Willard j. Hull, and
others.
The convention will proceed with
nominations Wednesday morning.

as wax Is not seal without stamp,
so metal is no money without the i'm
preston of the sovereign authority"
Plato says: Money is creation of
law to effect exchanges"
So that gold and silver are not mon
ey; but when an established coinage is
fixed by our government, by which
they give us money coined for bullion,
that price is arbitrary, and the price
OF bullion cannot vary except to ap-
preciate. The law of supply and de-
mand is thus vanquished by legisla-
tion.
Thomas Barring, of Barring Bros,
says that in money CRISIS in Calcut-
ia, 1864, it was impossible to raise a
single rupee on 10000 pounds of gold,
that money being demOnetiZed in
India.
That money volume regulates prices,
and that legislation regulates money
volume, is beyond cavil, and not de-
ranged fancy, as your editorials states,
| quote the report of the United
States commission, Forty-second Con-
gress, page 40. Referring to the dark
ages and lack Of money, it states that

wealth and freedom all disappeared

Adam Smith says: Increased cur
rency means increased industrial pur-
suits"
Alison shows by Horne Tooke's
"Tab les of Prices" that "a shrinkage
of one-fourth in the volume Of money
in 1925 in England was followed by
one-half fall in prices"
Our panic of 1873, was caused by the
destruction of over 81 ,OO0, 900, 900 of pa
per money between 1866 and 1873, and
the issuing of only a mOiety Of that
amount in bank notes to take it's
place.
True bime tallism is the free and IN
limited coinage of both metals at
fixed coinage price. The free coinage
OF gold is now permitted at fixed price
of $2O.67 per ounce. BY coming both
metals we can trade with both gold
and silver-using nations without being
handicapped.
Heretofore England has had the
trade of silver-using nations because
the British empire has had the free
coinage of both gold and silver; she
coined the gold in England and the
silver in India at the established ratio
of Is to l; SO that while England paid
us 81 cents per ounce, or less, for silver
she bought $1.37 worth Of wheat in
India with the same ounce Of silver,
making profit of 81 cents per ounce.
Holding this over our heads she could
make her own price on our wheat, as
the $l.37 worth of wheat they claim
only costs them so cents in gold, the
standard of price in the United
States.
The Hindoo lost nothing by the
transaction, because the ounce of sill
yer was legal tender for India debts
at $l.37, the coinage value of the
ounce of silver in India, while the
Americans ounce of silver was legal
tender at 80 cents for American debts.
Thus England made her own price
on our commodities, especially on our
wheat and cotton. We made the loss
and England the gain.
Our farmers and cotton growers, for
lack of silver coinage, are cola borers
in aiding England obtain cheap wheat
and cotton. ARNOLD A. BOMBAY.
