If the Populists who dominated the
Chicago Convention had not gone entirely
mad tho scene when New York cast her
seventy-two votes against the outrage Of
unseating the Michigan delegation would
have warned them Of what is ahead OF
them. Tho applause which this act. upon
the part of the New York delegation pro-
ducod made something like pandemonium
I'm the convention hail for q considerable
time. 10 must Doe remembered that the
people who created this applause are not
Republicans. They are Democrats Of the
most earnest character, who have been
lifelong Democrats. They have been in
attendance upon the sessions of the Ma
tional Convention Of their party, hoping
that its actions would be governed by a
spirit Of moderation and Justice. and that
at the end OF its deliberations platform
of Democratic principles, with "a real
democrat upon &c. would De offered 10
them for their sunrages. Their applause
at the action Of the New York delegation
was the most emphatic possible con-
demnation of the high-handed act of the
convention iu depriving Michigan of her
representation. and it was equally dis
sent from the general ideas that are in
control at Chicago.
Although in no sense responsible for the
representatives OF Virginia Democracy in
Chicago We were ashamed at their COM
plete abandonment of the principles they
themselves laid down at staunton as fun
damental I'm the choice of delegates to a
National Democratic Convention.
In stanton the voices Of Gionnan and
West were stopped. and they were sent
10 Chicago with Swanson pad locks On
their months, because. as Swanson ar
gued, tie delegates were elected not by
the districts. but by the convention.
In Chicago that same Swanson, sup
ported 10y "a majority Of tho delegation
from Virginia. reversed this principle in
the Michigan case. and turned out dele
gates chosen by State Convention and
seated those chosen by certain districts.
Enough under the unit rule TO give the
required two-thirds majority TO the sill
vcritos.
Conviction Of the Justice Of free coinage
IS an honorable though utterly deluded
belief. but conviction OF such gross
injustice and outrage as this hasty up
setting Of elementary political right is a
shame 10 Virginia Democrats.
The leaders Of the Chicago Conyen-
ton should be warned that they are
puing NJ wrath against the day OF wrath.
They should be notified that there Is
great body Of Democrats who viii not
follow them in the revolutionary courses
that they seem bent upon.

Kindness to dry up In his breast often

wonders II all this vast struggle over

pessimism puts In It's plea. But there, In
an obscure corner OF one Of the great

sketch OF the old hOme-life with its odd
interminglng OF laughter and pathos,
something that touches upon those senti-
ments wherein all mankind are kin, tell

No greater proclamation Of p great name
ever was made than the declaration that
came from the Platform Committee of
the Chicago Convention, that Andrew
jackson declared that Congress alone
had the power "to coin and Issue money
and that this power could not be delegated
10 corporations or individuals. THE pro-
fanatlon is in putting the proposition I'm
such a way ~ TO make 10 appear that
President jackson approved OF the no
tion that It was possible for the Gov
eminent 10 issue paper that would be
money. and that he opposed the idea
that individuals and corporations might
usefuny put ont circulating promises TO
pay money.
General Jackson undoubtedly held that
the Government alone can coin money.
All sensible men hold that. But DE also
held that the entire function OF Govern
ment IN coming money was 10 assay
metal 60 determine fits nneness and then
10 stamp upon given piece that IT
contained certain quantity @. That metal
OF a certain nneLess. That was General
Jackson's doctrine and It IS the doctrine
OF all men who know anything whatever of
the subject. Gen. Jackson held that the
Government alone could coin money. and
that coming was nothing IN effect hut
stamping on a piece OF metal low much
metal II contained.
But when General Jackson IS presented
10 the country as approving % the idea
that paper can be issued by the Govern
ment which is 10 be and be considered as
money. and that no private parties are
70 issue their circulating notes. payable
on demand in money. TO he used as sub
stitutes for money. q proclamation Of his
great name IS made. an insult IS offered
TO history. aud common sense itself is
anrontcd. The people who fran % this
plank in the report OF the Resolu ions
Committee have no moro IDEA OF the
relation Of money and paper currency TO
business than a clam has Of The Charac-
ter OF Wagner music. They rave IN
their minds the radical error that money
issues out OF government, and that bust
ness consists OF the sale OK commodities
for money. But money does not issue
out OF government. IL depends for It's
value upon the cost OF production. as
modified by demand, and IT'S chief re'a-
ton 70 business IS TO furnish q standard
by which commodities may measure their
respective values for the purpose Of
swaps and exchanges. il is found I'm
human experience that SO long as prom
ises 10 pay this money ON demand are
sacredly kept. these promises serve as a
perfectly enoctual substitute Tor the
money itself. and as a little money viii
serve as basis for a great quantity Of
these promises. men hnd that business
cOnyeniences are enormously enhanced
while they are left free to create and
pass tho promises from one 10 another.
Business. then. Is done not by selling
commodities for money but by exchang
Ing them. by transferring the credit values
OF each. and this can be done by trans
ferring a paper promise to pay the value
OF a commodity just as efIectually as
hgr4enyeging the commodity itself. Gen.
