The Populist platform, adopted at
ST. Louis. contains several planks, of
which the foremost and determine
tive one relates to silver. 1t demands
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer and gold; the issue and regula-
ton of the volume of the currency by
the government alone; legislation to
prevent the characterization of silver:
the payment of all obligations in such
form of money as the government
may choose; graduated income tax
and the establishment of postal saw
ings- banks. All bond issues except
by specific act of Congress are de-
nounced. The platform demands the
naturalization of railways and tele-
graphs; the opening of the public
lands to the free settlement of the
people, and denOunces the granting
of them to railroad corporations; and
direct legislation by the use of the re-
ferendum. The platform has a word
of sympathy for Cuba, and favors the
election of President and Senators by
the people, home rule in the Terri
tories, graduated public salaries, the
employment of those out of work on
the government works, and pensions
for the disabled Union soldiers. Ar
bitrary imprisonment by the courts,
and the obstruction in some of the
States of full, free and fair ballot
and an honest count, are denounced.
Though the principles of the conven-
ton are thus varied, the silver declar-
alton, like one Of Pharaho's lean kline,
will consume all the rest in the cur
rent canvass.

A Boiling Paper.

The action of the free silver men in
dicates that they desire to drive from
the support of the ticket all who hold
the same views on finances that Cleve-
land holds. They may think that for
every gold man they drive from the
support of the ticket they will gain two
from some other source, but will they
do it? Tt is hardly likely. Elections are
carried by votes, and votes depend on
the good will and friendship of the
masses. To insult these, or any large
body of these, and then to expect their
votes, is presuming too far. The free
silverites might as well recognize now
as later that by their insolent course at
Chicago they have alienated large num-
bers of lifelong Democrats. Whether
they will be able to make up these losses
elsewhere remains to be seen. 1t Will be
remarkable if they do.-Staunton (Va. }

The National Silver Party, in con-
vention at ST. Louis, holds in its dec
Iaration of principles that the para
mount and vital issue in the present
canvass is the money question. The
platform declares in favor of bimetal-
lism and of 'the unrestricted coinage
of both gold and silver into standard
money at the ratio of Is to l and up
on terms of exact equality as they
existed prior to 1872, the silver coin
to be full legal tender, equally with
gold for all debts and dues, public and
private.'' This full legal tender of
silver shall not be neutralized by pri-
vate contract; paper money shall be
issued by the government alone, and
all bonds issued shall be noninterest-
bearing. 1t is held that the want of
conformity to these principles has
paralyzed industry and reduced
vast number of our people to the
condition of pauperism by sending
the prices of our products below
those in the Asiatic markets. The
policy here recommended, it was al
legged, was that of Washington, Ham
ilton, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln,
and to it we should return. The
platform closes with an appeal to the
American people to hold all other is
sues in allegiance, to sunder all former
party ties, and to concentrate upon
this single issue. The platform has
the advantage of unity of aim. Every
other interest of the nation is ignored;
the rehabilitation of silver is the one
matter kept steadily in view from the
first line to the last. The free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 16 to 1, is
the panacea for all our illsl

The dyspeptic carries dreadful load
on his back. 1t seems as If he were
really two men. One of them ambi-
tlous, brainy and energetic; the other
sick, listless, peevish and without force.
The weak man weighs the other one
down. The dyspeptlc may be able to
do pretty good work one day, and
the next day because of some little in
discretion i'll eating. he may be able to
do nothing at all. Most cases of dys-
pepsia start with constipation. Consti-
patton is the cause of nine tenths of all
human sickness. Some of its symptoms
are sick and bilious headache. dizziness,
sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul
breath. windy belchings, heartburn,
pain and distress after eating. All
these are indicative of arrangements of
the liver, stomach and bowels, and all
are caused by constipation. Dr.Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are the quickest, east

dltion. They are not violent i'm action.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of INQUIRY of Aug.

true we have a central silver club with a
membership of over 600, and three ward silver
clubs with large membership. but just what
1t is am unable to say, and also. in the other
wards there Will also be organized silver
clubs The central club has just been organ
lied; it has an eminent republican for presi-
dent, and four vice presidents-ope a demo-
GRAFT one a republican, one populist and one
a prohibitionist. and the club includes large
clement OF republicans. Unless the tide
turns Mckinley will not carry his ward, nor
his city, nor his congressional district, and
even there is great probability of Mckinley s
losing the state. Yours Very Respectfully,

ded that Barber county has 100 repaid

And thus with time came more

Let me ask you, Mr.. Puck, one plain
question, (methinks you're stuck IF
congress, from metal, can value take
why cannot congress also value make?
