The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1896-07-30

IT has often been urged that the
practice of holding the nominating con-
ventions for president SO long IN advance
OF the election works harm to the bust
ness interests Of the country. This may
be true to a certain extent but on the
other hand since voters must often de-
eide questions of an economic nature it
ls OF great Importance that sufficiently
long time should intervene between the
convention and election in order to allow
time for full and free discussion.
Probably little attention has been
given to the monetary discussions thus
far by the people at large. But now that
the silver question has assumed a critical
Ctage more and more study will be given
it with view of solving 1t right. When
once the real democracy fully grasps the
situation on the silver question it will be
solved on the basis of right and wrong.
No one will argue that the great moral
sense of the people will not assert itself
for what Is believed to be right. It is
true large part of our voters favor tie
free coinage of silver, but the stand taken
is due more to feeling than conviction
The campaign which is about to open
cannot fail to make clear to all that the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of lilo,
when the market ratio Is 1:30, is not
right, to say the least. And when once
this is fully understood there will no
longer be any doubt as to the verdict
