M. HOGAN,
Chairman.

Congressman Franklin Bartlett of the
seventh New York district, in letter
repudiating the Bryan creed, addressed
10 Sachem Murphy of Tammanv says.
The wild assemblage, with mad &C
claim, foisted upon the helpless DIM
mocracy the burden of dishonest and
anarchist platform. The fatal features of
this platform to which especially OBJ
ar: the plank which advocates "the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver and
gold at the ratio OF 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid of consent of any
other nation; that which condition the
issuing ut bonds to uphold the national
credit; that which attacks the supreme
court tor its decision on the income tax
and which threatens to pack the court
in order to secure a reversal of it's for
mer decision, that which denounces the
president for calling out the troops to
suppress riot and instruction, and
which denounces the federal judges for
granting injunctions against obstruct-
ing the mails and against destroying
property, and that which proposes to
change the life tenure of federal judges.
Not one OF these propositions had ever
before found favor in a democratic ma
tional convention. they had only formed
part of the creed of the popuIists and
socialists.

MUCH has been said relative to selfish
and oppressive methods employed by
the banks in their dealings with the
government and with the people. and
this alleged oppression is part of the
stock in trade OF the free silver advo-

be found an interesting article from the
pen of M. Hogan OF this city, detailing
the history OF the relations Of the banks

and the inevitable result will
be the conclusion that the banks acted
with patriotic unsel6shness in that

The above nonsensical statement has
been quoted by well informed men on
both sides OF the financial question very
frequently since its publication. 1t is
statement that every man at all con-
versant with the facts, and especially
every German, KIN ows TO be utterly aud
inexcusably false. 1t is true that the
silver dollar or the silver certificate of
the United States is not reemdable in
gold, but this fact does not initiate
against the silver dollar or the SILVER
certificate being accepted at practically
their full worth in Europe.
A local witness bears testimony to
the fact, and one which the Times will
scarscely dispute. This witness is no
less parsonage than Rey. Father Pau
lin, o. S. b., OF Cold Spring. who has
just returned from the Fatherland. In
leaving TOR his old home the Reverend
gentleman took with him silver certifi-
Gates. Arrived in Germany naturally
he wanted to exchange them for the
coin of Germany What was the result!
They were at once exchanged for Ger
man money at their full face value, with
not cent reduction because OF repre-
senting and being redeemablc only in
silver, with no discount for exchange.
In tact they were just as good and of
just as much as value to the American
traveller in Europe as though he had
gold coin of Germany for it. Here is an
object lesson for our German friends
who have been following the Times
line of argument. -Journal-P Press.
