The Republican
Financial Plank
Adopted by the National Convention at ST.
Louis, June Is, 1896.

"The Republican party is unre-
servedly for sound money. It caused
the enactment of the law providing
for the resumption of specie pay
ment in 1870; since then every dol
lar has been as good as gold.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit of
our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
Of the world, WHICH WE PLEDGE
OURSELVES TO PROMOTE; and
until such agreement can be OBJ
tanned, the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver
and paper currency must be main
tained at parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolable the obligations of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the pres
ent standard, the standard of the
most enlightened nations of the
world"

AMERICANS IN TURKEY
Claim Greater Privileges Than
Other NatiOnulities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The president to-
day sent to the senate a reply relative to the
rights of United States citizens who are al
lowed to visit Turkey, and whose passports
are not recognized. In letter to the presi-
dent the secretary Of state says that the pa
pers OF recent years show that the Turkish
government claims the right to exclude from
the Ottoman territory such naturalized cti-
Zens. The right is claimed as prerogative
of sovereignty. Its enforcement has not been
opposed, nor has remonstrance been made save
in case of arrest or proceedings on ground of
their having become citizens OF the United
States without imperial permission. Passports
or such people are recognized, but the recogni-
ton does not prevent the exercise of the right
or exclusion or expulsion. The second branch
OF the senate inquiry asked whether families
OF naturalized citizens are permitted to leave
Turkey and come to the United States and
upon this point the secretary says the natu-
raization laws cannot operate indirectly or
by executive Interpretation to make q citizen
OF person who has never been within the
jurisdiction of the United States. The resolu-
tlon further inquiries whether naturalized citi-
zens of the United States, of American birth.
have the same rights of protection in that
country as have naturaized citizens of Great
Britain, France, Germany or Russia. AS to
this, the secretary says the privilege claimed
by the government of the United States for
such citizens by naturalization in the country
OF origin Is greater than that claimed by any
OIL the government powers named.

THE CARACAS STATUTE
Cuts No Figure in the Opinion of the
London Times.

LONDON. Jan. PA dispatch to the Times
from Washington with reference to the So
called jingo argument that VeneZueans will
never consent to the repeal of the statute
Whlcn forbtds the reopenfng of negotiations
with Great Britain, says: There is no public
opinion in Venezuela which will survive the
hrst plain notice from the United States that
the republic must choose between accepting
her advice and arranging as best she can un>
necessary to put it so bluntly The advice has
been given, and WILL if necessary be re-
peated and pressed. Americas will will pre-
vail, or Venezuela must seek a champion
elsewhere. At the same time. if Lord Sails
bury is willing to smooth the way to a re-
sumption OF relations with Venezuela it
would be a welcome step. There is every
disposition to meet England half way.
In an editorial commenting on the forego-
ing the Times says: There is sincere desire
here to arrive at a friendly agreement with
Venezuela so as to remove all cause of con-
troVersy with the United States. A door has
Deen open ever since Lord Salisbury's dis
patch Ito Secretary Olney) for a counter
proposition. The maintenance of the Schom-
burgk line was adopted very much as rough
and ready makeshift. 1t Is no secret that
Lord Salisbury is quite prepared to consider
faForably any fair and frank suggestion"
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Chronicle under
professor of Jurisprudence at the University
of Oxford, has been entrusted with the com
piiing OF the British case In its legal aspects

George L. Wellington, who mas just been
elected United States senator by the Maryland
legislature to succeed Charles H. Gibson has
been a leader in Maryland politics for fif-
teen years. Mr.. Wellington is young man
and deserves the new honor conferred on
him for his able management of the cam
paign that elected his friend Lloyd Lowndes,
governor OF the state. His career in poll
tics has been as remarkable as his success,
and his story is an interesting one. He was
born in 1851 of parents who had come from
Germany only three years before. His early
OF twelve he went to work after only year
and half of instruction at a Lutheran
school in Cumberland Md. But young
was unconouerable in spirit and his nights
were devoted to hard work in the study of
history and literature. Thus, unxssisted, he
became acquainted with Goethe. Schiller,

Burns, Milton and Shakespeare. He taueb+
himself Latin and became acquainted with
cicero, Caesar and Horace. He gained some
knowledge Of the law in his reading of Black
stone ana Story and in many other ways
stored his mind with information that in
late life helped him to climb the heights his
ambition marked out for him. He first es-
sayed hnance, and at seventeen was clerk
IN tne Second National Bank Of Baltimore,
where he gained the friendship of Lloyd
Lowndes In 1876 he entered politics and
became power as stump orator in English
and German He was county treasurer in
1852 and in 1884 and 1888 was national dele
gate, supporting Blaine and Sherman. In
1890 President Harrison made him subtreas
urer at Baltimore. He was in 1894 a suc

WANT A SILVER PLANK.
Republican Senator's VIII Demand
One In Convention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The Re-
publican silver senators today signed
a declaration which is intended to be
used in the coming campaign as the
demand which the silver men will make
for a plank in the national convention
In the preamble it is recited that the
present financial system endangers the
industrial prosperity of the United
States, which is threatened by China
and Japan as result of the decrease
in the value in silver and the difference
in exchange between silver and gold
using countries. 1t is therefore resolv-
ed that the signers favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to l for the purpose of obliter-
ating this difference of exchange, which
is declared to operate as a bounty on
the export of products from silver
using countries to goid-using coun-
