sistency than Bryan and Sewan, one OF
whom has been until very recently an
avowed Populist, and the other
has been, and still is, an avowed friend
of protective tariff, so far at least az
American shipping is concerned. The
platform declares unequivocally in favor
of the gold standard under any and all
conditions, going further in that direc-
ton than the Republican platform. On
the tariff its declaration is equally spe-
cifc. being against protection and in ia :
vor of free trade. In the character OF
the men who took part, in dignity of
procedure-indeed in every thing except
mere numbers, the Indianapolis body
was far superior to the Chicago gather
ing. The Dem ooraoy of it's platform and
of it's candidates is uninlpeachable.

People still continue to wonder why,
if the present dollnrs are kept at par,
dollars under free coinage cannot be. 1t
Is simply because the present dollars are
limited in number and are receivable for
customs and taxes; while under free
coinage the number would be unlimited
and only part of them could be used to
pay taxes and duties. Perha ps an illus
tration will make the matter clear.
The city of Portland imposes taxes of
about $500, 900 yearly, and the citizens
have to pay this sum into the treasury
yearly. If in the spring it should issue
SS0o, 600 silver dollars and pledge 1t self to
receive them Cor taxes at their
face value, our citizens would take them,
no matter how small their intrinsic
| value, because being receivable for taxes
the face value could always be got out
of them. But if instead Of $500, 900, the
amount of the taxes, it should issue
81, 600, 900, the value could not be got out
OF half of these, because only $500, GOO
could be used in payment of taxes; and
consequently all of them would fall So
long az the United States governments
keeps it's silver dollars near the number
that can be absorbed for taxes and duties
it can keep them at par. But when the
number gets considerably in excess of that
amount than they are sure to fall. Now
it has control of the coinage and keeps
the amount down. But under free coin
age it will have no control of the coinage
at all. 1t will then he compelled to coin
all the silver that is rendered, whether
it be a million ounces or ten million.
