GRAND sMARAIs MINI. JUNE 20. 1896. Z
For MCKINLEY. Hobart and Gold

For Mckinley. Hobart and Gold
The republican national convention
hold in st. Louis last week declared that
Mckinley shall be president, Hobart vice
president and that Wall street shall
control the Nation. The Duluth Herald,
commenting on the platform adopted,
says:
E; -Four years ago the national conven-
ton at Minneapolis asserted that the
Republican party favored sbimetalism
from tradition and interest, and the
platform then adopted pledged the par
'ty to the use of gold and silver as stand
ard money. The text book of the Re
publican congressional committee issued
for compaign purposes declared that
sthe platform meant the reconciliation
of silver and the opening of the mints to
gold and silver on equal terms. It was
upon the strength of this Interpretation
of the platform that the West voted
ssolidly for the Republican ticket. How
the platform was disregarded, how the
pledges made in convention and upon
the stump have been broken, the whole
country knows. = ~.
I "The platform of today is in direct
contradiction to the platform of four
ago. It completely ignores the time
llonored Republican principle of bimetal-
lism. tits a Wall street goldbug pro-
duct, written by gold monometallist
william r. Merriam, who has steadily
derided the idea of bimetallism in any
form whatever and has repeatedly de-
clared that an International agreement
cannot be secured. His insertion of a
reference to an international agreement
was therefore made with the idea Of hold
ing in line some Republicans who believe
in bimetallism but hate to desert their
party at this time. Mr.. Merriam no
doubt hoped that this pledge to promote
an International agreement would lessen
the obnoxious taste of the gold dose and
keep them within the old party lines.
ct is very doubtful whether this scheme
will work" - x:
