George T. Anthony in his platform
at Wichita said that the work Of
formulating and resolving upon a
platform of defined policies Of ma
tional administration can only be
done wisely and well by a conven-
ton after a patient and patriotic
interchange of views by representa-
tives of all the states, delegated to
speak for them in that convention"
How "wisely and well" the work has
been done the people can see. We
have an idea that there is not a
farmer in the West but what can sit
on rail fence and write a better
finance plank on his knee. GOldbug
George is a slick old fraud and the

John J. ingalls, sums up the con-
vention as follows in his article to
the New York Journal: -"When the
delegates to the convention were
chosen 200 were for the gold stand
ard, $50 for bimetallism and the rest
for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver. 1t is now claimed that a
large majority are in favor Of the
gold plank prepared by the repre-
sentatives OF The corporate moneyed
interests Of New York and New Eng
land. Bv what arguments they have
been converted is not disclosed, nor
by what coercion the compliance Of
Mckinley and his managers has
been secured to these demands. The
debate will be transferred from the
committee to the convention. Upon
the result great consequences hinge.

banker as vice president, those who
make the ticket may find it neces.

The London Statist says:

1T is the best platform possible but
it will not establish order in the cur
rency and therefore will not restore
confidence, for it must never be for
gotten that the key to the position is
held by the senate, which is governed
by silverite and Populist majority.
Unhappily there is NJ chance that
the composition of the senate will be
materially changed for the present,
so that the legislature and admins
tratiOn are pOweTleSS."
Those pesky Populists are in the
way of the British gold gamblers
again. Is it not about time the peo-
pie were learning that their interests
lie with America rather than with
England. Don't stand for England
any longer; stand for America. Line

Judge Henry c. Caldwell bolts the
Republican ticket and in an inter
view calls attention to this fact:
"The complete abandonment of
Republican principles by the St.
Louis convention is shown by the
fact that in the whole of the long
platform there adopted, there is not
one word against monopolies and
trusts, or in favor Of regulating the
interstate railway traffic of the coun-
try in way to protect the rights Of
individuals and localities from the
injustice and oppression which is
now perpetrated upon them" No
tice has just been given by the coal
trust that they will advance anthra-
cite 25 per cent. July lst. They
own the whole product and can
make the peoplepay as much as they
choose for it. They are safe to ply
their piracy under the Republican
party. Hubbard the Minnesota
millionaire miller can organize his
miller's trust and raise the price oi
flower 80 per cent while the price oI
wheat is decreasing but the Republi.
can party will never raise an arm to
stop him. People may starve fol
the want of bread because OF the
trusts extortion, but the Republican
party dare not interfere, because il
is owned body and soul by the in
terests engaged in thus robbing tht
people.

Ed. Little, a prominent Kansas Re-
publican, honored by President Harri-
son with the appointment as Consul
General to Egypt refuses to hearken
to the crack Of the gold standard

bosses in openly insulting the friends

Of the Republican party to Wall

disgusted with the surrender, are
openly declaring that they are now
without party and are ready to cast
their votes for Teller or some equally
honest free silver advocate for presi-

Hon. E. &. Little, who has, perhaps,
given the question as much sincere
and earnest study as anyone in the
country, and hearing that he had de-
clared himself on the matter, a
Chronicle representative talked with
him this morning:
"The nomination Of Major McKin

"Did you read Col. Tom MoOnlights

ditions in that free silver country?"
was asked Mr.. Little.
"Yes," was the reply. "He talks OF
the prices Of labor, but why didn't he
say something about farm products?

says labor brings from 20 TO Y cents a

the people, the money question, it
declares as follows:
1--WE are unalterably opposed to ey.
cry measure calculated to debase our

country, We are, therefore, opposed
to the free coinage of silver except by

can be obtained, the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All sill.
