The PonuIIst PIntform.

The general tone of the populist platform
is much more moderate than was that of
the platform adopted four years ago. 1t
contains the principal demands of that
platform, such as the demands for free
silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to !, for
fiat paper money. for an income tax and
for the ownership of railroads and tele-
platform. such as the demand for $50 per
capita circulation, the eight-hour law and
the sub-treasury law it makes no refer
ence.
The populists cling to fiat money. They
demand that all the paper money shall be
issued by the national government. They
clearly do not believe that our silver and
paper currency would circulate on a parity
with gold currency if all paper money
were issued by the national government
and the coinage of silver were made free
and unlimited at the 10 to 1 ratio, because
they demand such legislation as will pre-
vent the demonstration of the lawful mon
ey Of the United States by private con
tract"
With a financial system such as the pop
ulists demand this country would soon be
in worse financial trouble than any one of
the Central or South American states
Great and rich as it is it couldn't prosper
with such financial system as that pro-
posed by the populists. Its credit would be
quickly destroyed and it would be handi-
capped by a currency more rotten than that
of the Argentine Republic.
The monetary demand is the only one
an the platform that is really important,
because it is the only one that is occupying
the attention of the people. Whatever may
be the result of the election we are conf
dent that that demand will never be the
basis of the monetary system of this
country

The Chicago Conference.

The result OF the conference of sound
money democrats at Chicago on Friday
leaves in doubt the question whether or
not there will be another democratic
presidential ticket Eleven states were
represented at the conference, and con-
siderable enthusiasm was manifested. but
there seemed to be very great doubt as
TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of calling national
convention Of sound money democrats. Al
the meeting, which is to be held in In
dianapolis on Aug. Z, the course which the
sound money democrats viii pursue will
be decided upon. Whether or not a con-
vention will be called will depend upon adj
vices received in the meantime from sound
money democrats in the different states.
There are two reason for thinking there
viii be no convention. The FIRST is that
the majority of the sound money demo-
Gratis win have made up their minds to
support the regular democratic ticket he
fore Aug. z, and the second is that the
most of the rest Of them will
have decided either to vote for
lhtN4iiiNg VI Aol NpVt at all
1t will be difficult therefore to arouse sur
hcient enthusiasm in third ticket move
ment TO encourage the leaders of that
movement TO so ahead with the work
they have undertaken.
Every day sound money democrats are
announcing their purpose to give their
support to the regular democratic ticket.
Those who are still undecided as to the
course they will pursue are being encour-
aged by republican newspapers to vote
with the republican party this year. These
newspapers insist that Mr. Whitney's
complaint that the republican party is
showing so much partisanship that demo-
Gratis ind it impossible 10 vote for Mr..
Mckinley is unfoundSl, Naturally, they
would denyAtha their party is showing
itself to be Extensively partisan. They are
not qualified. however. to express an I'M
biased opinion in respect to that matter.
Mr.. Whitney would hardly have made the
charge ne did if there had not been
grounds for it,
That charge win have the effect of in
creasing the proportion of sound money
democrats who viii support Mr. Bryan
if there should not be sound money

the prospect of such ticket is not prom
