NOTES AND COMMENT.

We are not of the number who be-
lieve that no good will come from the
Democrats holding free silver conven-
tions this year. While we realize that
the principal object in holding them is
to stop the disintegration Of the party,
we rather think that it will have the
opposite effect in the outcome. There
is certain amount of education going
along with this movement that will re-
suit in good. Resolutions favoring
free silver this year may be the means
OF many voters leaving the party next
year when gold standard plank is
adopted, and a so-called sound cur
renC5 candidate nominated.

While we recognize that the free sill
yer discussion is breeding dissension
in the two old parties, and for that
reason it ought to be encouraged, we
insist that there is danger in commit
ting ourselves to that alone, to the ex-
clusion of more important phases of the
money question, and of other questions.
We predict that the silver question is
to take the place of the tariff question
for the purposes of keeping the people
divided. 1t is to be discussed, but not
settled, is the programme of the two
old parties. What the Populists should
do is to show that both old parties de-
monetized silver, and that there is no
possible show for either old party to re-
store it. Keep the record of the two
old parties on this question constantly
before the people.

In his speech at Memphis, Mr.. Sib-
ley said:
Suppose the news should reach
Memphis that New York was belea-
guered by the British. The Democrats
would hold a mass-meeting and de-
termine that if the party was not strong
enough to drive out the intruders they
would wait until they were able to
make the attempt. The Republicans
would hold a mass-meeting and con-
clude that the British ought to be driy-
en- out by the Republican party without
leaving party lines The Populists
would get together and declare that IL
they could take all the planks of the
Omaha platform along with them they
would drive the representatives of John
Bull from the shores of America. Is
this what the parties would do? Or

We frequently wonder how any old
Union soldier can vote either the Re-
publican or Democratic ticket. They
put their lives in the scale for the pres
ervation of the Union. They took their
pay in dollar that was purposely de-
preciated at the suggestion and de-
mands of the capitalists. The capital
lst called it dishonest dollar But he
speculated, got all of them he could and
traded them for bonds, dollar for dol
lar. If that dollar was dishonest,
then the bond also is dishonest. He
was entitled to no better dollar for the
bond than he gave for it. But he de-
manded better dollar and got it-one
that would buy twice as much of all
the necessities of life as the dollar he
gave for the bond. And now he is de-
manding a better dollar still, which
the two old parties have given him.
The soldier took the greenbacks and
did not grumble. The difference in
the value of coin and greenbacks was
made up to the rich man, who stayed
at home and gambled and speculated,
but not to the soldier, who risked his
life and fought and bled for his coun-
try.

as follows:
We, citizens of Chicago, have gath
