ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The nationa

day in the Music Hall.
The only banner in the hall outside
of the regular decorations, was carried
by the Minnesota delegation and wa:

of Herr Most, the New Yorker, fol
Mckinley. 1t represents Herr Mos

the words Unite and down these" and
at it's base "The modern Herod and

The plan proposed at noon to-day is to

This arrangement includes commit.
tee to treat with the populists.
At - o'clock Temporary Chairman
Newlands and Mr.. Towne, of MIMI,
one of the boiling republicans, appeared
and took seats on the platform, accom-.
panied by slight applause. They were
soon followed by Mr.. W. P. st. John,
the ex-New York national banker,
slated for permanent chairman, who
was not recognized by the people pres
emit, and so received no recognition.
at 1890 the convention was called to
order by Chairman Mott, who, in his
address, said the democratic party Is for
16 to independent of the world. He
said Bryan is young, courageous, wise,
enthusiastic and conservative. Mr..
Newlands, of Nevada, was made tenn
porary chairman and addressed the
convention.
A call for Janury 4th, 1896 for sill
yer convention was read.
The secretary then called the roll for
the committee on credentials.
After the appointment of the usual
committees, the convention adjourned
until 4:30 p. m.
By actual count eighteen spectators,
five policemen, and the official band
were in the gallery.
A report was current that Senator
Jones, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee, will place Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, a boiling republican,
on the campaign executive committee,
representing the silYerites, and T. NJ.
Patterson, of Colorado. the former
democratic leader of the State, for the
populists.
General A. ]. Warner, of Ohio, President of
American Bimetallic League, says there is
division of opinion as to whether MIR. Bryan
shall be endorsed or nominated.

WHEN THE currency question was
under discussion in England, nearly
fifty years ago, a writer in Black
woods Magazine took the same view
that Hume did nearly hundred years
before, that in every age OF the world
prices have been increased by an in
crease of money, such increase enhanc-
ing the reward of industry, by holding
out the prospect to the industrial
classes of increased ability to con-
sumo. political economists" he says,
"may preach to us of the evils Of in
fated currencies and deprecated
money, but so long as an ample cur
rency, be it composed of what it may,
keeps industry employed, the result
must be increasing capital and its diff
fusion among the masses, whilst its OPP
posite, restricted currency, must be
an accumulation of wealth in the hands
of the few, and the decrease in the
social scale of the many. More money
means more reward for industry and
art, more products and more created
capital, whilst monetary restriction
means industry neglected, it's rewards
confscated, the few rolling in wealth,
and the many sinking into poverty"
There is nothing new under the sun,
nor is there anything new that hasn't
been old.

some relations IN Alexandria, Va. he
