Go on Record.

Lincoln, Neb.. April 29.-Nebraska demo-
Gratis of the sound money SCHOOL held their
stale convention to-day primarily TO elect
four delegates-at-large to the Chicago ma
tiOnal convention and incidentally as the
party leaders announced, 10 declare 10
the democracy Of the nation that Nebras-
ka is not wholly silver mad"
There was very fun representation Of
delegates and an absence OF bitter strife
in the deliberations. There was no launch
ing of presidential boOms, the only favor
ed son mentioned being Secretary j. Ster-
ling Morton. who in advance had indicat-
ed his desire that nothing be said i'm that
connection so far as he was concerned.
II was after ( O'Clock, when Euclid Mar

Ryan of Grand Island and Dan w. Cook

Upon the question of finance the plat
form says: I'VE believe with Thomas
Jefferson that the market value Of bullion
regulates the value OF the coin, ana not
its coin value. We accept the teachings of
economic science that under free cOndi-
tions the cheaper money VIII always drive
away better money leaving nothing but
the poorer in circulation, and that under
that unvarying law. that the adoption of
free coinage of silver at l6 to /, would eX-
pei from circulation all the gold and pa
per money redeemable in gold and leave
the country on a silver basis with paper
currency and much less of il. We believe
that common honesty and just regard for
the rights of our creditors, as well as the
rights of the wage earners, require us to
use all honorable means to prevent the In
sertion Of a free coinage plank in the ma
tional platform.
I'VE adhere to our previous declara-
tions on this subject and declare our views
unequivocally and unreservedly for the
metallic money as the standard unit the
| bullion and mint value of which are APP
prOximately the same and the purchasing
power of which, regardless of government
mintage, is the least fiuctuating in all the
markets of the world. We INSIST on this
policy as especially necessary for the pro
lection of the farmers, laborers ana prop
erty owning debtors-the most defenseless
victims Of an unstable and fiuctuaung cur
rency."

Washington. April 29.-"There viii be
some silver plated noise at the convention.
but the practical men will control IT," re-
marked Senator Brice to-day. when he
was informed that the Michigan democrats
&c convention had adopted a sound money
platform.
Senator Brlce is not given to talking az
random when his views on great political
issues are solicited. and this afternoon he
was in an interesting and at the same time
serious mood. He expressed serious sur
prise at the action Of the Michigan con-
vontiOu, for he has been led to believe that
the convention was very evenly divided
on the money question, with the prospects
In favor of the free silver men. That he
was familiar with the subject was shown
by the fact that he knew just about how
each county delegation stood. One would
have thought that Il was an Ohio conven-
tion under consideration instead Of a Mich
igan assemblage.
After expressing, his qualification at the
result of to-days proceedings, Senators
Brlce went on to say that the outcome in
Michigan demonstrates the wisdom Of tho
substantial men Of the democratic party
IN going 20 the front and taking an activs
part In political affairs. He says it will NOT
do for the influential men OF the party
to become Indifferent and stay away from
the national convention and allow ths
nomination and the construction Of tha
platform to so by default. The practical
men of the democratic party have always
dominated the national conventions. whila
Wild-eyed theorists have made the noise

Of the party say they will not attend tho
convention and their places are filled by
men who are careless or without influ-
ence In the convention, then the resulr

point
The senator went on to say that ne Is
fully convinced that the combined wis
dom Of the democratic party Is not going
into convention and ignore the great states
Of New York, New Jersey. Connecticut,
Maryland West Virginia and go off after
a few little free silver states In the west
which on election day generally give their
votes to the republican nominees. He says
he has been In too many conventions
where all the noise was on one side and
the practical results on the other.
lie added that the practical results wers
generally on the side Of the men who
have the business interests OF the coun-
try at heart. II Is not always necessary
for the influential men of the various
states TO be members OF the convention,
but II Is we'll for them to be on hand ana

tives OF their respective states who ars

and of contracts authorized to be entered
into 1913 45l 600, making the grand total for
which this congress would be responsi-
BILE al this term over $500 100000. He said
the current revenue was not equal to
the current expenditures; and had not
been at any time during the term of this
administration. And he pleaded, in no
spirit Of partisanship, for careful scrutiny
of appropriation bills for the protection
of the treasury.
Mr. Dingley, chairman of the committee
on ways and means responded to Mr.
DOckery's statement and analyZed the flg-
ures he had given. He asserted that the
appropriations at this session Of congress
for the current expenditures would not

must be paid by the government would
