II the arguments OF the Mckinley
republicans and gold standard demo
Gratis are true, that the adoption OF q
double standard of money will iniure
our national credit, or in any way effect
our integrity as nation, then the
change from the present gold standard
to that Of bimetalism becomes matter
for serious consideration. However, this
is only the argument OF the plutocr ats
to frighten the more tim id ones into
the gold standard way of thinking
Whenever the people become
restless and begin to show signs
OF rebsllion against the sway OF the
moneyed classes. then we at once hear
them talking OF our national honor, aud
other dire calamities that are TO follow
a change in our financial system. What
has become Of our prestige, boasted
Americanism that has been paraded be
| fore the inhabitants Of the nation since
100 by every orator and cross.road

small colonies could beard the lion in his
den and plant political liberty on the
North American continent till they
swelled the number to forty five compact
and powerful governments whose united
strength go TO make up one great nation,
we'll may we maintain our integrity and
national honor, under double standard
Of money, silver and gold, at ratio OF
l6 to1.

this: How many dollars per capita is
mos. conducive to business prosperity
in this couutryf Now. it being con-
ceeded that money is necessary, it fol
lows naturally that a government can
issue too much money or too little.
No one would say that one Thousand
dollars was money enough to answer
the needs OF business in this country,
nor would anyone say that we should
have a billion dollars per capita Tor
every person in this country. Then,
it being a fact, that we can have too
much money in circulation, or too little.
it becomes necessary to try to ascertain
lust how much money is necessary to
conduct the business OF this country
with least friction and to the best ad--
vantage. When Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Sherman say that the present volume
of money is sufiicien. and ample for all
business needs, why don't they give us
some reason for their conclusion? BY
| what process OF reasoning have they
solved this problem? Can they demon-
strate that the present volume OF money
is sufficient? II so, why do they not dc
it, and thus settle this question! The
TACT is. those gentlemen can no more say
just the proper amount OF money to
meet business requirements in this
country, than any other person who has
studied this question.
In arriving at conclusion we mus
look to the financial history of this ant
other countries, and judge Of the future
by the past. II, forinstance, this countr.
was more prosperous before 1873 whel
both gold and silver were eqna
before the law and had the same right
at our miats, than now, undor a gol'
standard, it causes us naturally to con
clude that the decentralization OF silve
might have been instrumental i
. bringing about present conditions. 81
p il this country has been more prosper
I GUS when we had forty dollars in cirut
|. lation for each person in this countr,
k than when we only had twenty dollar
!. then it leads us to conclude that twent
= dollars is not enough. Therefore, "
q conclude that the only way to reaso
n upon this subject is by analogy
q com pairing the future with the past, nj
y only OF this, but Of other countries
q we'll; and that the bankers and go

Boys, get your horns and shootin
irons ready to celebrate BANDS nomi'
nation
BLAND THE MAN.

All indications point to the nomina-
ton OF Bland at Chicago; and il
Mckinley was the logical candidate OF
the republicans, SO is Bland the logical
candidate OF the democrats. Mckinley
stands not only as the greatest friend
OF protection in this country, being
better known as such than any other
man in his party, but he is also the
candidate OF the gold monometal lists,
Bland, upon the other hand, stands as
the representative Of the masses, those
who are at one and the same time "the
bone and sinew"-the stay and sup
port OF this government. and who are
struggling against the combined wealth
OF the protected millionaires, the bank
ers, bondholders and money lenders OF
this county and Of Europe. Mark
Hanna, who was McKinley's manager
and the ruling spirit at the st. Louis
convention, is a millionaire manufact-
urer, while Hobart, the republican
nominee for vice-president, is million
aire corporation lawyer Of New Jersey,
and the men who are to contribute the
millions necessary to elect Mckinley, if
in fact, his election ie possible, are
those who have become millionaires by
reason Of protection, and those who
have amassed great fortunes by absorb
ing the wealth created by the farmers
and other producers OF the country. Ii
other words, Mckinley stands as th'
representative Of plutocracy in its mos
dangerous aspects, while Bland is al
ideal representative of those principle
and policies which are essential to tn
preservation OF our liberties and to tn
maintenance OF our republican form q
government. This is saying goodea
but it is not saying too much. Thin
of the corporations and monopoist
the bankers, bondholders and none
lenders being in control and dictatn

matters affecting their interests. al
their interests our interests? Can the
be depended upon to lc2islate in tn
3 interest of the masses OF our peopl
aud against themselves? Can tt
eagle be relied upon to protect II
lamb? II not, neither can we expe'
the moneyed classes to look after oth'
= than their own interests. S
y whether Bland shall be the standal
bearer of the democracy, or some 9th
who represents the same principles al
policies that are so ftly represented
him, the issuxs are the same; and if Il
people who believe in those principl
get together Mr.. Mckinley will u
II. doubtedly be defeated, and an era
- peace, progress and prosperity will
inaugurated IN this country such as
have not known since silver VAS strick

know so long as the country is upon

OF these obligations in either silver or
gold is the law, whether the executive
is supposed to execute the laws OF the
country or to make and execute them
The edict OF Grover came forth and
Carlisle Topped; the edict OF Carlisle
has gone forth and the ports have been
blockaded against silver The masses
have been misrepresented, the dignity
OF the nation insulted by Wall Street
manipulators and money lenders OF like
character. II there was ever a time
when the American people needed pro-
lection, a jackson at the head OF the
executive department and when the en-
forcement of just law could have
protected them; it was few months
ago. when instead OF borrowing millions
of dollars to protect the gold reserve
and to enrich bond spectators, the obi
cations OF the government could have
been justly discharged by payment in
silver, which complies with the law as
coin OF the nation. II we cannot nave
the laws OF the country justly admins
tered by the gold portion OF the demo
cratic party it is just conclusion tina
the goldbug republicans will give III
inst as little relief as their gold stand

adoption of platform by the Nationa

claring for the free and unlimited coin

HOW MUCH MONEY is ENOUGH2

We constantly hear from Carlisle,
Sherman and other gold standard advo-
Gates that we have money enough-that
our circulation per capita is now equal
to the demands OF business in this
country. Now, why is it that these
great tinanciers do not tell us just how
they know these facts, and how they
arrive at that conclusion. Let's exam.
inc some OF the elementary principles
OF this question: First, is 1t necessary
to have any money at all? Money is the
medium OF exchanges-a measure OF
values and simply facilitates trade.
II we had no money, all business would
necessarily have to be done 10y barter, a
farmer exchanging grain or other pro.
ducts OF the farm for such articles as he
could not produce, and so it would bo
with all other classes OF producers, each
exchanging his surplus products for the
surplus products OF his neighbor. This
would take US back to primitive meth
ods-the manner OF trading which ex'
listed before the time whtn money came
into use.
When we take il that we are al
agreed to the first proposition laid down
that money is necessary and that civil
zed people cannot do without money
without going back hundreds OF yeaii
to conditions which existed before man
kind learned the Use and benefits o
money. Well, then, II money OF som'
sort is necessary then we come to th'
question OF kind and quantity. Wha
! substance IL best adapted for use a

THE GOLD DELEGATES SEATED

Chicago, July 9th. The national
committee to-day selected temporary
chairman and passed upon the contest
ed cases brought before it. Unlike the
action of the republican convention in
St. Louis it refused to admit the press to
the sessions OF the committee and its
proceedings were entirely behind closed
doors. The committee decided to take
up contested cases first. There was
little interest manifested in them, with
the exception OF the Michigan and
Nebraska caees.. The Nebraska case
was settled in favor OF the gold men by
vote of &c to 49, A member OF the
committee who was in favor OF the gold
men and voted with the majority said
the case was very peculiar and it was
ard to tell which side had regularity
although it was his opinion that the
gold men had long series of precedents
and should be seated. The contest,
however, was decided on stright vote
as to preference OF members OF com
mittee as to a gold or silver delegation.
The action OF the convention in seat
ing the gold delegation from Michigan
was a surprise to the silver men. But
one vote was cast against the placing OF
the gold delegation on the temporary
roll and that was cast by Campan, one
OF the silver leaders Of Michigan.
Thomas, OF Colorado, made motion to
seat the gold delegation and forty seven
members OF the national committee
voted to do so. The other contests

or the most radical Of gold standard
mon and consistently vote a negative
ballot.
A fairer form Of ballot to the gold
advocates could not have been devised
By the Democratic state executive COM
mlttec. II gives all the advantage to
the monometuilists by defining a gold
standard vote to be merely a negntlon
OF free coinage at the present ratio. II
anybody is entitled to question the fair
ness OF that form OF submission 1t is
the silver men. II comedies to the
other side all who are not aggresslvely
for immediate silver coinage at 16 to 1.
Tho truth OF the matter ia, and the
Post knows It, that tho gentlemen who
participated In the Hardy CON
ference at Galveston would have made
fight ON any plan of submission to
the primaries that could have been
adopted. They are against primaries
They want chance TO manipulate CON
yentions and to traffic In convention
votes. Their objection to tho form of
the ballot adopted IL a mere ptetense.
1t Is equally as insincere as the al
legged grounds for their former csca-
pade in boiling II state convention be-
cause Of platform that had not even
been reported.
