kilfeather's Views.

cratic candidate for presidential
elector, had the following to say as
to the result of the Chicago con-
vention:
THE battle of the standards is
on, and the people will now have
to range themselves either on the
side of humanity, or on the side of
a grinding money monopoly.
The men who composed the
convention at Chicago should take
rank with those who formulated the
Declaration of Independence for
us-independence of the foreign
money power which has long had
its yoke on the necks of our op-
pressed people.
The platform is one of the most
important documents that has been
given to us since the early days of
the republic. There is no doubt or
equivocation about it. tits ia clear
cut declaration in favor of the in
terests of the laboring and produc-
ing masses, and against those who
would, by single gold standard,
reduce them to degradation and
slavery.
Our standard-bearer is one of
the ablest statesmen of our times, a
man who, when elected, will not
fill his financial system with the
putrid waters of Wall street, but
will drink of the life-giving foun-
tains of pure democracy. He is
democrat who believes that the
long night of the British gold
standard should be cleared by the
dawn of American bimetalism, that
will shed the light of hope and
cheer in the hearts of the American
toilers. He is a democrat who will
put it beyond the power of any
politician or platform orator to
truthtully say that all the tavors Of
the law should be accorded to
corporations and monopolies, and
that the just and righteous demands
of the American mechanics and
artisans should be resisted by the
cold steel of the national dragons.
Let us examine the complexion
OF the two conventions-that at
st. Louis and that al Chicago.
The republican convention was
composed Of Is railroad attorneys,
II brokers, II6 bankers, Io6 trust
officers. 54 aliens, who just got
their first papers, and the balance
of the vote was cash. Look at the
democratic convention. The men
who nominated Bryan were the
laboring men and farmers, and the
yeomanry and life of the nation.
There were no $50, 1000 year rail
road presidents, and no frog faced
noblemen fresh from the gilded
parlors of the Bank of England.
Let all those who earn their
bread by the sweat Of their brow,
the laborer, the mechanic, the
farmer, the clerk, and all those
whose fresides are darkened by the
shadow of want, stand together
and with a mighty effort, roll up a
majority for Bryan and free silver,
in order that happiness and pros
perity will light up every house
hold in the land"
Napoleon Davis, member of the
national democratic congressional
committee, for Oregon, said:
II regard the platform just adopt
ed at Chicago as the most forcible
declaration of principles ever put
forth since the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence in
1916. 1t is a most admirable doc
ument-the sneer of Ex-Governor
Flowers to the contrary notwith-
standing-and one that will prove

A WEEKLY MARKET.

II the plan proposed by Secretary Ling.
OF the Chamber of Commerce. can be car
rIed out. II Will be good thing. not only
for Seattle and King county. but for very
considerable portion Of Western Washing
ton. Several attempts have been made to
provide for regular market day each
week. when producers and wholesalers could
meet. The proposition has frequently been
discussed in local papers. but no organized
body has been induced hitherto TO take any
steps toward selection OF site and arous-
ing the farmers to interest in the subject.
A weekly market has been so successful
in almost every place where II has been
tried that II would be worth the experiment
In q place where the difficulty OF getting
buyers and sellers together IN 20 great. II
has been frequently pointed out that the
reason farmers do not make as much
money az they ought Is chiefly due to the
loss Of time and the want of method In
their transactions with buyers. They come
into town at all times, knowing nothing Of
the demand, and are compelled frequently
20 either dispose Of their products at loss
or haul them home again 10 be carried back
20 the city on the next leisure day. on the
other hand. buyers can make no arrange
ments with local producers. because OF the
uncertain supply. and prefer to handle on
consignment through steamers which ar
rive on a certain day.
Probably the chief difficulty will be In Sc
lection Of a site which shall be rs Access
slble to teams as TO steamers coming from
different parts OF the Sound. The water
traffic must be taken into consideration.
because much OF the produce Is perishahie.
and buyers win so to the cheapes, market.
therefore Il would not DO to have one loca-
tion for farmers coming In by road IN their
wagons and another for shipments by wa
ter. II this difficulty can be overcome many
thousands OF dollars now sent out OF the
state ought to go Into tho pockets of local
farmers.

should have been made by one who Is In

Another advocate Of free silver, nearer

Without accepting all these statements
as beyond controversy. It must be conceded
that International b;-metallists need only
point to the experience Of the past to prove
their contention that any attempt on the
part Of this government TO force upon the
world the ratio Of l6 to 1 against its con-
sent. would only result in disaster to our
selves. 1t is to the proposed ratio to which
bi-me,allists object; IL we could all agree
upon Q ratio which would not underyalue
gold and so reduce US to silver mono-metal
ism, there would be very little difference
between free silverites and international
bi-metallism.
