hardship of this policy would fall up
on workingmen, skilled or unslzilled,
whose daily wages measured by the
present standard is higher than in
any country in the world. Their wages
will purchase more of the necessaries
Of life than the wages paid for similar

Mr.. Sherman insists that the mints
of the United States shall be closed
against the coinage of silver dollars
until an international arrangement
opens a safe road for the resumption
of such coinage. 1t is wise counsel,

the letter. The currency statement
of the Ohio platform is substantially
the same as that adopted by the Re-
publican party at it's last national con

THE YOUNG BOOMLETS.

Those presidential booms having
left New York and gone to their re-
spective homes and the result of their
airing is open to speculation. Under
the heading ''Who's the Coming
Man?'' the Chicago Record submits the
following:
There is a great unanimity of opin-
ion among newspapers of both par
ties that Governor Morton of New
York can have the solid vote of that
state in the next Republican national
convention if he wants it.
Ohio has expressed her preference
for Mckinley.
Maine will instruct its delegates for
Reed.
Indiana will be true to Harrison.
There is little doubt that Iowa will
be solidly in favor of Allison.
These men fairly represent the sec
tions of the country from which they
come and are all of high character
and of good abilities.
But the nominee of the party will
probably be a Western man.
The voters of the territory west Of
the Allegheny mountains elect the
president in this country. With one
exception the Republicans have sue
ceeded with a western man at the head
of their ticket. The West will domi-
nate the convention of 1896 and it will
be for western man.
IF Mckinley comes with the solid
vote of Ohio at his back he will divide
the vote of the west with Allison, if
the latter shall be a candidate. But
It is extremely doubtful whether
Ohio's vote will be solid for McKin-
ley, who occupies exactly the position
that Mr. Sherman did in 1880 and 1884.
The machine in the state, managed
by Foraker, is not for Mckinley.
Iowa's candidate is a popular one,
as he is an extremist in nothing. Out
side of Indiana, Harrison has no con-
siderable following in the west, and
his strength lies in the east and south.
Morton may use his strength in New
York in Harrison's favor, but Reed of
Maine will not No Western state,
except Indiana, Iowa and Ohio, has
serious candidate, and probably AL
lison is the strongest of the three with
the conservative men of the party.
There is abundent time for the nam
ing of Efavorites sons' before the
conventions of next year, but the Re-
publican party might do far worse
thing than nominate any one of the
three prominent western men that
have been named.

The policy now urged by the pro-
ducers Of silver, and by men who
wish to pay their debts in cheaper
money than they promised to pay, is
the free coinage of silver. This means
the single standard of silver and the
demonetization of gold. This is the
monometallic system. 1t is the de-
gradation of our dollar to fifty cents.
If applied to our national bonds it is
reputation of one-half of all debts.
1t confers no favor on producers of
any kind, whether of the farm, the
workshop, or the mine, for if they get
nominally more dollars for their pro-
ductions their additional dollars would
have only one half of the purchasing
