Mr.. Thurston said:
"on the eleventh day of July. 1896. a
Democratic paper. the Chicago Chron-
icle. published this in double-Ieaded
type on its editorial page: The pro-
prietors of the big bonanzas have
found it profitable to keep a large
number of lecturers and other spokes-
men on the road preaching to the peo-
pie. Among the many who have thus
been employed and carried on the pay
rolls of the big bonanzas for num-
Der of years is William j. Bryan of
Nebraska, Il paid agent and spokesman
for the free-silver combine In the
city of Omaha. where William j.
Bryan does editorial work. the Omaha

zen. having at heart the welfare of the
people. that the man posing as the ad-
VoCate of the doWntrodden masses of
His countrymen, holding Il crown of
thorns' in one hand, and the bugaboo
cross of gold in the other. owes it as
duty to every man. woman, and
child in this country to say whether
that charge is false or whether il Is
true"
The New York Post suggests that
no better place could be found for de-
nying this charge than the proposed
notification meeting in Madison Square
Garden on the 18th of august.

ton welcome either gentleman to tbs

Popocratic banner to be carried at the
head of the Democratic forces in this
September campaign will obscure the
candidate behind it. over its front
will be emblazoned "Repudiation.
Down with the nations credit, "
Down with civil service reform, The
supreme court shall be a political tri-
bunal." The government shall not
protect its rights against armed riot"
Down with contracts and up with
Altseld.' May we expect Democrats
who We're hooted out of the Waterville
convention. who believe the convention
at Portland represented the principles
of the Democratic party. may we ex-
pect them to be found in september
fighting under that banner?

Very many of the Democratic or
gans have ceased from troubling about
Mckinley and in a general way the
public are at rest. But in case there
should be a few doubling Thomases.
who fear that the doughty Ohio ma jor
will not do what he says he will. we
print the opinion expressed by Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, that old line Demo-
crat and man of affairs. Mr. Hewitt.
who declares that he shall vote for
Mckinley, says; II used to sit near
the major in Congress when he voted
for free silver. Right near us were
General Garfield and Tom Reed both
of whom were always on the right
side Of the question. The ma jor is as
honest as the day is long. and when
will do it regardless of all conse-
quences. He now sees that free silver
! would work injury to every one. and
has consequently experienced change
of heart since his early days in Con-
gresS. The American people need not
fear Mckinley on the money question.
He has enough obstinacy in him ia
stick to a position, when once he takes
it. And now that he is beginning to
talk gold standard, he will stand by his
colors till the last horn blows He is
by no means a weakling. His early
| leaning to free silver and subsequent
change of heart were not due to lack
of back bone but. rather lack of infor-
nation and study on the silver ques-
| ton

What is the Chicago Platform?
On. Y. SUM

As printed in all of the newspapers
immediately after its adoption by tbs
Chicago convention, and as generally
/ understood by the country, the Popo-
I cratic platform contains this plank:
we demand that the silver stand
ard dollar shall be a full legal ten
der, equally with gold, for all debts
public ana private: and we favor
such legislation as will prevent for the
future the decentralization of any kind
of logal-tender money by private con
tract"
ON Il parallel line, the Populist plat
form of st. Louis contains this reso-
| luton:
We demand such legislation as will
prevent the decentralization of the law
full money of the United States by pri-
Vate contract"
1t is Il curious ana significant cir
cumstauce that the copies of the Chi
cago platform which are now put forth
officially by the managers of Mr.. Bry-
ans canvass add to the resolution as
printed above this modifying clause:
But ii should be carefully provided
10y law, at the same time. that any
change in the monetary standard should
not apply to existing contracts
This addition to the financial plank
rs heretofore published is Identical
with an amendment offered by Senator
hin in the convention. and VIGOROUSLY
defeated along With Mr.. Hills other
proposed amendments by the vote of
the convention.
Neither Mr.. Hill. nor any other del
eGatc to Chicago, nor again any other
person in the United States, has sup
posed that the amendment in regard
to existing contracts was not defeated
but was adopted by the Chicago con-
Vention.
Yet now Col. Edward b. Dickinson
the official stenographer of the con-
vention. is reported by the st. Louis
Republic as declaring that the Hill
amendment was adopted without roll
call" and that he has been instructed
. place it at the end Of the financial
plank
Instructed by whom? by Mr.. Bryan?
by Senator Jones of Arkansas? What
authority in the Bryan management
has the right to reverse the declared
vote of the convention and to incor-
porate in the platform matter rejected
by that body?
1t looks as if reputation was to ex-
tend to the very record of the conven-
ton itself. Are Mir. Bryan's managers
afraid to stand upon the platform of
dishonesty which was erected at Chi
cago, and upon which the Boy Orator
jumped With a whoop?
Shall we hear next that even the
similar plank in the platform of the
St. Louis Popuiists was amended, I'M
known to everybody, so as not to APP
ply to existing contracts?

Silver in; India.

| Hagop Bogfgian. the well known Ar
menian. took occasion on his recent
visit to London to make some inquiries
| regarding the money question. He
| said:
Il have been buying East Indian
goods through an f. l. agency in Lon
don for the last twelve years. Within
| the last seven or eight years | have
noticed that the same grade of goods
| has steadily declined in price. For in
| stance. one class of goods for which
| five years ago l paid Il shillingS per
| square yard this year l bought for
5i5 shllings | found upon inquiry
that as midas currency is upon a sill
Yer basis. exchange has been steadily
coming down. The Indian rupee is
supposed to equal 40 cents in our
money. 1t is now worth 1-6 shillngs.
or IS cents in American money.
An English officer of high grade
who had just returned from n 20-years'
residence in India, gave me the results
of this fluctuation of value of the rupee
upon the laboring classes.
He said a certain class of laborers
receive the same wages as formerly
but that amount of money buys just
SO much less food and clothing. as the
rupee has declined in value other
classes of laborerS are not getting as
much as they used to. This gentle
man also told me that many officers
stationed in India instead of getting
exchange on London for the money
they want to send home to England,
buy goods and send home to be sold
instead
In this way they lose only 20 or %
per cent. when the loss by exchange
would be 40 per cent. from the stand
ard value of the rupee. This explained
To me very clearly the cause of the
gradual decline inprice of goods manu-
factured in india with which ] am
familiar. The above mentioned gem
tleman stated that the principal suf-
fers from this decline in the value of
the rupees are the laborers of India
talked with English and foreign
bankers on this subject and they all
admitted that they made more money
out OF their transactions with countries
having silver standard than with
those having the gold standard.
SAID banker to me. What your
silver men in America want is plenty of
money at cheap rate of interest To
help the laboring man, farmer and
poor man; but they forget that when they
nave free silver. interest will be much
higher and the purchasing power of
the wage Garner much less Which are
the countries which are the most pros
porous today. where the laborer and
the farmer get the best wages and the
most for their products? In America.
england and France, the countries
having gold standard You can Dor
row money today in London and Paris
from u to | per cent per annum. The
rate of interest in India is from six to
"A per cent. per annum'"
