In bimetall,sm they find a broad basis
OF prices and credits, greater stabI-

italy one money all over the earth.
They are. therefore, advocates Of the
double standard. Said Mr.. BalfOur, the
English statesman, in May. 1894: The
general concensus of scientific ecOnOm-
&c opinion has now for many years
been thrown with an overwhelming
balance of opinion into the scale Of the
double standard
B.meta.lism IS not an experiment; It
has held the field in all the most pros
porous periods of the worlds history.
Il is not only practicable, but it is the
only means by which a stable and
equitable money system can be main
tanned. 1t makes the two metals sub
stantially one money, with which the
business CT the entire world may be
transacted without shock or friction.
Tbs idea is well expressed by Hon.
William ". Evarts, the eminent Ia

standards, one or two, are but a form
and mode by which We may reach what

rect the actions of our conventions so
as TO make the Republican party the
beneficiary of our vote. The Populists
of the Fourth District in convention
do not want TO see the gOldbug, Warren
Miller. reelected TO Congress, and
knowing full well that to put up u
straight-out Popuist would result in
securing his reelection, and when, as
the Hon. Walter PendletOn represents
our views on the money question, the
delegates to the Populist convention
unhesitatingly nominated him. And
as Mr.. Pendleton sad on addressing
the convention afterwards, he realized
that fl was not so much the man as the
principle he represented that induced
the action of the delegates in making
him our standard-bearer. believe
tbat nine-ten.hs Of the Populists Of this

most hearty and cordial support.

- 1,1nnprANT CASE.

>-eIie II. Robinson, of Cincinnati,

81 should like to call your attention
To q case which | have had pending be
fore the Supreme Court and when l
tried TO get before the L. ). supreme
Court last week, but failed; not upon
the merits of the case, as the question
raised was a legal one, and should have
been heard. o,,.
Under the statute law OF Ohio,

cfaIei TO Washington last week and
laid my case before thai angus rib

writ. on the grounds that Mr.. Mckinley
was out of Office. and they could not fol-
low him. I assured them that in OHIO
the law followed the Office. and no the

10 get the case before The Court I
