To the Editor OF the inteiiReneer.
SIR:-The question OF a reduction In
wharfage charges has been argued
both ways for several months and stu
council has not passed an ordinance
reducing the rate. understand. also.
that the ordinance that came up before
council last week Is not at all agreeable
to the river people for the reason that.
though Il makes a partial reduction.
the charges would still be higher than
ut Cincinnati and Pittsburgh (ports
where many times more business Is
done than at Wheellngl, Mr., Editor,
would suggest that the 1ntelllgencer
look into the advisnbility OF doing away
with wharfage tolls altogether and
making trade entirely free. hear that
when the wharfmaster gets his money
there Is hardly anything left for the
city. Then why not do away with the
office OF wharfmaster and charge no
wharfage? Business men in other cit
les have been instrumental in having
wharfage abolished. They do this be-
cause they know that to encourage
ateamboats Is to their direct interest.
Discourage and hamper steamboats,
and railroad freiEhts go up. Encourage
and assist them and competition brings
down the freight charges. BY doing
away with wharfage the city will lose
almost nothing In pecunilry way,
and will encourage the steamboats,
greatly. BUSINESS MAN.

A STRONG ARBAIGNMENT OF THE

The Executive Committee OF tho New

day evening to determine what position
that organization should take towaid DIS
the Chicago platform and nominee. il
repudiated botn. and in doing so, it
adopted resolutions which state some of
the objections to the platform so clearly
and so forcbly that we commend tie
following one to the careful perusal Ct
an men. Here it is:
Resolved. That We hereby repudiate
and condemn the revolutionary and un-
Democratic platform adopted at the so
called Democratic Convention held I'm
Chicago. 10 proposes to substitute for
our present standard OF value, which IS
equal 20 the best IN the world an UNI
stable and deprecated standard which
has been repudlated by every civilized
and prosperous commercial nation, and
which would put US on a monetary par
with China, Mexico. and other countries
where labor is VIGOROUSLY undergrad
II declares against gold monometallism.
and advocates legislation which must in
ovitablv lead TO silver monon6talism: II
advocates monetary system which
would offer an unlimited field Of specula-
ton 10 the capitalist, but would material
ly reduce the purchasing power Of every
dollar paid 10 the wage-earner, which
would punish honest thrift 10y depre-
cating the value of every savings bank
deposit and every life insurance policy.
il advocates a liberal pension policy. and
ar the same time seeks to impair the
value OF every pension paid 10y the Gov

fee. ana whose integrity OF purpose and
firm determination 20 maintain the nation
al honor has been recognized and ac-

This is an admirable and most forcible
statement of objections to the platform.
ana IL is 10 be borne I'm mind that II IS
not the work of Republicans but Of life

as 30 is. IL does not begin 10 state the
whole case. It should have said that

aims az ovorthrowine all the foundations

murder. II this platform is 10 constitute

HOW FAR WILL THE SILVER DOLLAR
DECLINE

The Baltimore American mentioned
sav or so back that there were two thou
sand millions Of dollars in the savings
institutions Of this country, and IL re-
marked on the enormous loss to these
depositors that would be inflicted Of
free silver caused them TO be paid in
afty-cent silver dollars. The Richmond
Dispatch said OF this:
There is no danger of Decent dollar.
we know of no banker or nndncicr VINO
s. willing to come out under his own
signature and predict that In case oil
the success of the froe-silver movement
the silver dollar would be deprecated
10 80 cents. The prevailing opinion is
rather that the fan would Dee 10 30 or W
cents. TO be sure this would cause a
great disturbance of our finances; but
there Is no sense in cXaeseIatins the
state of the case.
Let us see about this. We append a
statement OF the worlds production of
silver. taken from the Report of the
Director Of the Mint FOR each year since
