The Sound Money Declaration

Assuming that the Chicago convention is

is to combine, in opposition to the radical
free-silverites. all who favor sound money
This opposition includes % the single

the possibility of bimetallism through inter-
rational agreement, and who would favor

irrevocabiy. even If they thought that inter-
rational bimetallsm was attainable; and

the present gold standard only until the
double standard through International
agreement can with safety be established,
and who believe thai an international
agreement on this subject can be secured.
The first class prevails and Is growing
steadily stronger in the business circles of
the East There are still thousands of
voters of the second class in the middle
West Both classes are opposed to the free
coinage of silver at 16 to l. or any other
ratio, Independent of the action of other
nations. 1t would be asinine in the repub-
icans to so word their financial declaration
as to expel from their ranks either of these

Parade fer the EndcavOrers.

1t wor Id be a proper and emirently cour-
teous act If the bicyclists Of Washington
would add to the pleasure of the delegates
to the Christian Endeavor convention by
r.aking wheeliaar's parade one Of the
recreative features of convention week.
For some time past there has been more or
less of gossip as to the desirability OF
otherwise of a cycle parade. and at the
recent nnecting OF the local members of the
League of American Whcelmen-as stated
in yesterdays Star-the project was sug-
gested and considered. There was. how
ever something of aimlessness in the idea
as at first discussed: there was absence Of
reason for such turnout and that weak
ness would influence many riders who
would undoubtedly contribute to the dis
play if good cause for participation could
be shown Now there is ample reason for
a parade such as Washington has never
witnessed. Sixty thousand Christian En-
doavorers are coming, and a very large
percentage of that multitude will either
bring bicycles with them or secure them
here. These stranger cyclists have heard
of our smooth and broad avenues. and
trey have planned to enjoy wheeling
sations impossible in many cities. A bicycle
parade would surely be appreciated by the
city's guests and ought to be popular
among the city riders. AS The Star under
stands the situation. there Is no obstacle
in the way of such a celebration. With a
little consultation between the League
officials and those who have charge of the
convention the arrangements can easily lie
made so as to satisfy practically every
tody, and the result ought to be memorable.
General preference is favorable to a night
parade; and for several reasons The
streets will be compa ratively clear after
business hours: at night there will be many
more people at liberty to view the parade;
the natural darkness will afford opportun-
tiles for spectacular lantern and torch dis
play such as delighted those who witnessed
the procession given in honor of Alexander
r. Shepherd some years ago. Reference 10
the news columns of The Star will show
that the matter IS being taken up seriously
by men who mean to do all in their power

success It should be- Should the scheme de-
velop alGng the proposed lines there ought

The free silver men predict that Mr.. Nc
kinley will prove to be a weak candidate
at the polls. And they base their prediction
On the assertion that protection will cut
70 figure in the campaign. The republican
party, they suggest, will be at the disad-
vantage of contesting for supremacy in a
struggle over the money issue with a cam
uidate who stands conspicuously only for a
high tariff. In other words, the man who
won over his rivals in his own party on one
issue must be tried in the struggle with his
democratic opponent before the people on
another issue.
IS this true? Can the tariff question be
eliminated from, or even subordinated In.
the coming campaign? Is it not, on the
contrary, indissolubly connected with the
