"pArRSoTs OF AMERICA"

Word comes from Chicago that ma
tionaI secret political order, whose OBJ
ject will be the bringing about of the
restoration of the free coinage of silver,
will file articles of incorporation with
| the secretary of state at Springfield,
Ill, Immediately. The order is to be
known as the Patriots of America"
and its sole object the restoration Of
the timetable standard. The founder
of the order is William Harvey, au-
thor of Coins Financial School"
1t is said that charters have been
made out. and will be sent
as soon as possible to not
less than one thousand lodges
in various parts of the United States.
said to be to take steps that will COM
pei the recognition of the claims of
silver from representatives of the Dem
ocratic or Republican parties, or both,
when the national conventions meet
next summer.
OF the worthiness of the object of the
order there is no question; as to the
sought to be accomplished, it is not so
certain. The American people have a
natural aversion to secret orders in
politics, for the reason that the thing
that is hidden generally will not bear
the light Of day. There is nothing hid
den about the silver question, neither
as to the bad financial policy of it's de-
monetization, the great disturbances
of its restoration as a money metal
nor the unanswerable arguments by
which the demand for its restoration
is upheld. Secrecy and mystery in pol
itics in the minds of the people are
more or less associated with humbug.
If the gold standard men can succeed
in getting that idea associated with
silver in the minds of the people. it will
be all they ask.
1t is also bad judgment to take as
the name of this new order patriots
of America" The patriots of America
are the people of America, and no one
class is entitled to so designate itself
more than another. A man may be a
protectionist or a tariff reformer,
gold-bug or a free silver advocate, and
still be a patriot. 1t is really absurd
to select this name, patriots Of Amer
lea, to designate a political order even
when it has so worthy an aim as the
bringing about of the recognition of
silver 1t will invite ridicule by those
who oppose silver, and ridicule is the
deadliest weapon used in politics.
&c 1lo+4
none that is worthier the serious
thought of the people, none that dis
covers more merit when closely studied,
none less in need of a secret order to
further it.

their course is approved by the party,
then we dissent from the party, be-
cause we stand by Democratic prin-
ciples.
But we are unlike the paper which
calls our attention to the necessity of
holding to Democratic principles. We
do not leave our party because it
makes mistakes, or because some of
its official leaders get astray on GER
tain points. To do that would be folly
IN the extreme. The Democratic party
is a live body and can correct it's own
disorders, and cast off from it's or
ganism that which is effete or that
may be discordant with its fundamen-
tai principles We will make correc-
tive efforts within, and not go outside
and pelt or herate it, for it is the
means by which the power of princi-
pies can be brought to bear on the
benefit of humanity
We are with the Atlanta Constitu-
ton in saying that The great body
of the common people prefer the old
principles under the old name, but they
will care nothing for the name unless
it represents the old principles" 1t is
not the name of the thing but the
thing itself which is of prime import
ance. We stand by both because the
Democratic party is for Democratic
principles, and in spite of occasional
departures in some respects from the
straight line, it works its way back
and goes on towards the goal Of good
government, and will eventually reach
it and make it triumphant in the land
By that time all side issues Will De
dried up and every mushroom party
will he hurried out of sight

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS REPRE-
SENTATION.

Prior to the meeting of the Repub-
lican national committee to select a
place and time for holding the Re
publican national convention, there
was talk that the committee might
give the subject of the basis of rep
resentation some consideration, but it
did not
The question of the unit of represen-
tation in national conventions is an
important one. At present the basis
of representation in both parties is
the congressional delegation, the rep
RESERVATION in the conventions being
double the number in the congressional
delegation. In 1884 a convention of
Massachusetts, Republicans brought
forward a new plan, which was to al
low each state a representation in ma
tional conventions based on the num-
Der of votes cast for the Republican
presidential candidate. There is merit
in the plan but it has never been taken
up by national convention Had it
been adopted, it would have solved for
the Republican party the problem, if
such it may be termed. of the great
power Of the South in their national
conventions when it had no power in
the presidential elections, so far as
electing a Republican was concerned.
Chairman Manley, of the National
Republican executive committee, is
said to have made out a table showing
what the result would be under the
new plan. Under it, New York would
have gained fifty-four votes; Illinois,
forty-two: Ohio, thirty-four; Pennsyl-
vania, thirty-three: Indiana, ten; while
Georgia would have lost thirteen; Ala
bama. eleven; Texas, eleven, and Mis-
sissippi, eight.
There is much to be said in favor of
the plan. but politicians will be very
shy of favoring the innovation as at
the country a preponderating and
determining influence in a conven-
ton, which fact would tend to alien
ate the political sympathy of some
particular section, whose support would
be necessary to the success of the
party. Then the states are so jealous
of their power in national conventions
that it would be an extremely diff
cult matter to induce them to agree to
any plan that might deprive them of
it. The present plan Of representa-
ton will. in all probability, be adhered
for many years to come.

INCREASING GOVERNMENT REyE.
NUES.

Recently the government's revenue
has shown very decided Improvement
For the II months ending November
SOth ult. the receipts of revenue amounted
to $685. .S25. while in the corresponding
II mouths of 1894 they were only s279,-
S3S.9S9. The receipts will probably be $780,.
100000 more this year than last. During
November this year the receipts We're
considerably larger than in November,
1894, or November, 1898.
1T is a most striking fact that the
handsome increase this year of revenue
amounting so far to SIS, 100000 above that
of the first eleven months of 1890 was
due to the increase of customs-receipts
under the new tariff. For the first eleven
months of 1895 the customs receipts were
$152,2S2, S54, while in the corresponding
months of 1894 they were only $40, 07S, 1897.
There could not possibly be stronger
proof that the new tariff is as good as,
if not better measure for raising rev.
enue than was the Mckinley tariff. OF
course, any tariff is an uncertain and ir-
regular source of revenue. But in this
respect the Wilson tariff is evidently
not inferior to McKinley's, and surely if
the high duties of the latter Were re-
stored the national treasury would not
be replenished. New York Herald.
