OUR friend, DIR. E. p. Miller, of New
York, writes that If the agricultural
papers of the United States favor the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of Is
to 1. and also its use in payment of
coin Obligations of the government,
the agricultural papers are in the wrong
hands, etc. 1t may be remarked that
most of the few agricultural papers
which, according to DIR. Miller's ideas,
are in the right hands, are scarcely
agricultural papers at all, but appear
to be managed In the interest of loan
syndicates, etc.-Kansas Farmer.

THERE is one thing which the peo-

and that is to quarrel within the ranks.
We nave all we can do to hold down

haye abundant faith in the intelligence
of the majority of the members of the

Gold standard.papers endeavor to make
light of the holt from the Republican
convention. They declare that of nearly
IL thousand delegates less than fifty were
included in the boiling list, How about
it? In the stated numbers they were
near the truth. But what does those fifty
represent? Does Teller stand for one
single individual or for his entire State
and others along with it? What did Sen
ator Cannon stand for when he stated in
the convention that the gold plank in the
platform meant the loss of Utah. When
he Withdrew was it the withdrawal of one
man only? When Senator Dubois. the
brainy young leader of the Idaho Repub-
licans, quit the convention, did he take
himself simply? Tom Carter, a Senator
from Montana, chairman of the last na.
tional Republican executive committee,
the man who called the St Louis conven-
ton to order, has decided to cast his fate
with his people rather than with his
party. Is Carter simply one of thirty or
forty who protest against gold standard
domination, Lee Mantle il another SEN
ator who was lone of the thirty, "and
another is Senator Pettigrew, and still
another is Senator Hansbrough. In the
list are Il half Il dozen or so members of
Congress, all of whom 90 in obedience to
and in sympathy with the wishes of the
Republicans of their districts. Those
who attempt to make light of the with
drawal of that little band of honest
money Republicans will do we'll to think
of the great constituencies they represent
in their withdrawal. They mean the en-
tire West. They mean California, Colo
RADIO, the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
