paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
u%nsltersbly opposed to the issue by the
United States Of interest bearing bonds
| in time of peace, and We denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, OF plunging the country
in debt by hundreds of millions in q vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and we demand the
payment Of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option OF the government and not at the
option Of the creditors.
2. That over and aboys all other ques-
tons OF policy, w are in Favor Of restor-
ing to the people OF the United States
the time honored money Of the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money OF Washington, Hamilton,

coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations 10 an honest
standard and not in "A standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples OF the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived Of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people Of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other ques-
tons, however important and even mo.
mentous they may appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and affiilia-
tons, and unite in one supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-

/. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is indlsputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold

standard, no bonds and government cur.
rency on the other. On this issue we de-
clare ourselves to be in favor Of q dis.

unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard OF gold
and silver by restoration by this govern.

DR.. G. E. Shuey, Professor Schaeberi

disheartened from the station in North

were made, determined to climb the
snowy summit of Fujiyame, $4,000 feet
above the sea level, notwithstanding
the ominous conditions that threatened
a severe storm. The ascent was not
marked, writes DR.. Shuey, by any ex.
traordinary features until the snow

time afterwards. 1t was the most fu.

Christian man, DR.. Parkhnrst, do you
call that honest? Does the religion Of
Jesus Christ teach extortion? Nay,
more than this. These same creditors
have been drawing interest all these
twenty years or more in q constantly
increasing dollar and in this and the
payment of debts have wrongfuiiy taken
billions from the debtor. Ii that honest?
And yet you would fasten this system
perpetually upon the American people.
Beware. The church is accused on
every side now for losing it's interest 10
the poor and catering to the rich-be-
coming a gilded sepulcher. Bishop
Newman's own ministry are accusing
him OF catering to Wall street because
he wants to borrow s25O,OOO for church
purposes. Take a lesson from the con-
dltion OF the church Of France before the
Revolution. The great Presby terrain
church has ever been the foe OF tyranny
and oppression. Must it's history be
sullied now by un alliance with extor-
TONERS? Must there be another clean
ing out OF the temple and the money
changers before We can have pure relig-
ion? How different was Mr.. Talmage's
reference last Sunday to the situation!
During the last SIX presidential cleo
tions I have been urged to enter the po-
litical arena, but I never have and never
will turn the pulpit in which I prAach
into a political stump" This statement
was followed by a reference to the de-
preston now prevailing throughout the
country, and he said that never within
bis memory had 80 many people liter
ally starved to death as in the past few
months" He believed the country was
better off after every crisis and that the
Almighty would settle the controversy
between the metals.
There is no installing the import Of
these words and DR.. Parkhurst would do
we'll to ally himself with the welfare Of
the oppressed.

The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst of New York
has just returned from his European a
cation thoroughly saturated with Anglo
man,a>and in an interview says:
The present situation Of national af-
fairs shows ID very mixed condition Of
affairs. yet the whole thing is very clear
if one will reason honestly. No man
with a conscience and wholesome intel.
lect can fail to grasp the situation, and
at the same time appreciate the main
principles involved. The principles in
volved are two / n number. One is a
moral question; the other an intellectual
question. The moral principle is that
an honest man will always keep his word
and pay dollar for dollar. II he con-
tracts on q basis he will pay on the
same basis. II he buys on a scale Of six
teen unoes to the pound he will not
sell on q scale Of eight ounces. That
would be transparent dishonesty"
The good doctor no doubt 9 all
right and in his analysis OF the situation
resolves all right, but the trouble with
the doctor is he makes the application
Just twenty years too late. He says:
"The moral principle is that an honest
man will always keep his word and pay
dollar for dollar. II he buys on a scale
OF sixteen Ounces to the pound he will
not sell on a scale OF eight ounces"
