MUCH IN EVIDENCE.
Members of the Republican National Committee Dis eussing TOmOrrOw's
 Meeting.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 9.-Members of the Republican National Commit tee are very much in evidence about the rotunda of the Southern Hotel today and Chairman Carter and Sec retary Jos. H. Manley are up to their ears in business incident to tomor- rows meeting of the committed David Martin of Pennsylvania. w H. Hahn of Ohio, Samuel Fessden of Connecticut, ]. $. Clarkson of Iowa. and John M. Thurston of Nebraska are among the prominent committee men on hand, while the remaining members will put in an appearance tonight. Gen. Grosyenor is doing the honors at the Mckinley head quarters until the arrival of Mark Hanna. Numerous conferences be tween the committeeman and the big party leaders who have stolen into St. Louis the last day or two are be- ing indulged in, the all-important subject of discussion being the ITO election contests which the commit tee will act on tomorrow afternoon. The claims of what are known as Mckinley delegates will be pre- sented by Gen. Grosvenor and ex- Congressman Thompson of Ports mouth, Ohio, both of whom will be assisted by tae counsel of Mark Hanna, Major Dick and Jos. r. Smith. On the subject of Speaker Reed and the Vice Presidential nom- nation little is being said by those whose opinions are most sought, but the general sentiment is that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear upon the speaker to induce him to accept the nomina ton, in spite of his natural tendency to decline. Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes, who has also established headquarters at the Southern. is progressing rapidly with his end of the arrangements for the big gathering and says that within day or two he will he able forgive out ~te-ssill list -eg~ l,is, -tsessist- ants and begin the distribution of his 5,000 badges. The carpenters and decorators have for the most part deserted the big convention auditorium and today the floors are being given their first sweeping in preparation for the dedicatory exei cises tomorrow night.

Some people are asking what Is to l

meant that sixteen ounces of silver were
equal in value to one ounce of gold 1t
WAS as much trouble for the miner to get
sixteen ounces of silver as one OF gold );
anu the man who had q commodity to
sell was willing to take for it 81 xteen
parts Of silver or ono of gold, or the GER
tificates or tokens representing either of
these. Governments ACCEPTING what had
become the Judgment of mankind, adopt
cd this ratio at their minis, accepting six
teen parts OF silver as equal to one part
of gold bullion, and putting forth coins
in which this ratio was maintained,
But in the last twenty-five or thirty
years mankind have ceased to esteem sill
yer SO highly. Be 1t because it could be
produced more oheaply, or because there
was not SO much demand for it when
produced, men have ceased to be content

The Democratic platform at Chicago
takes up the old stock cry about the
Crime of 1873" and from it deduces
tho conclusion that hence arise all the
woes of hard times which affiict this
country at tho present time. A moments
reflection will show the utter dishonesty
and iinpudence of such claim. Up to
two years ago this country was the most
prosperous nation on earth. Its laboring
men were more generally employed, the
rate of wages was generally higher han
ever before. 1t is true that everyone was
not satisfied; but he must have lived a
very short time and learned little of
human nature who believes that all men
Will be permanently satisfied with any
good fortune whatever. The good luck
OF today becomes the regular condition of
tomorrow and merely the stepping stone
for tho other good luck that is desired
the day after. The mon over whose
wages the controversy arose at Homestead
were in reality, in the rate of their COM
pensation, princes among laboring men
OF the earth. Yet small reduction at
NSesA<CA
although now, after having experienced
what they have, it probably seems a
small matter. The strikes like that at
Homestead only emphasized the general
good condition of business and wages in
this country up to 1898. We believe no
candid. thoughtful man will look back
TO that time without acknowledging that
this country was very prosperous. Yet
the alleged Crime of 1879 had then been
at Its baleful work twenty years, II We
are to believe the riotous cages now
performing at Chicago! Why is it neces-
sary to look back to 1878 for the cause of
the depression in the last two or three
years? Why not look to the abominably
unequal and foolish Wilson tariff law,
upon the heels of which the bard times
followed as inevitably as the pale horse
man follows the heels of pestilence?
The Democrats know that the tariff
bungling and not the alleged Crime of
1872 brought on the hsrdtimes; but they
wish to MAKE the people think that 9TH
ers than themselves are responsible.
Unfortunately for them, In sending the
| tariff to the rear as an issue, they have
brought forward another issue on which
they are as hopelessly in tho wrong
Upon the tariff the ablest statesmen have
differed, and there is room for respeota-
Die contest on the free trade side But on
the question of debased currency the
really wise statesmen of all times have
been only on one side. The force of this
was never more plainly shown than in
the present instance. The greatest lead
e-s of tine Democratic party are opposing
bitterly the action of its convention; and
for nominee the most promising figure
is nonentity like Bland.
