st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
These gold standard circulars issued by
the Coprecticus Mutual Life Insurance

first appearance in ST. LOUIS through the

poAcy holders. a. 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
The circulars were in the carly morning
distribution to ST. Louis policy holders IN
the company, enclosed in unseaied envel-

left-hand corners Of the envelopes was
stamped in red ink:
"Compiments OF Charles ]. Gore. Genl

The circulars were mailed by Mr.. Gore
Tuesday evening. Every policy holder IN
the company in 81. LOUIS, whether a free
SILVER democrat or a Mark Hanna gold

The circular aroused considerable indig-

EPIDEMIC OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Harper's Weekly says further that the
platform IS AN assault upon common
honesty and law and order. a declaration
OF war against civilization, and that the
candidate is worthy of the PLATFORM"
This reads like The rawlings of a lunatic.
How the writer of that sentence omitted
to say that IL was also a crusade against
religion IS "A little singular, The mere
statement Of such insane sibberish car
ries with it its own retutaton.
But this sans culotte critic goes to
even greater lengths. for he says that
"hatred Of prosperity, Jealousy of re-
warded industry, Impotence with the
mua.ty TO protect the individual from the
results Of has own !ncapacity, and to
level down the average by restraining tine

faculties, all his is expressed in the plat
form and ticket
Now the man who odn find all this in

discover the secret of perpetual motion

Never has there been such an epidemic
OF reckless misrepresentation regarding
the declaration Of n political parry. The
Eastern p1pers have attributed 10 tho
n'w platform every kind of political
crime; they have read INTO 1t things which
n microscopic search fails TO find, they
Civ to its paragraphs a construction not
borne out by omnc sense or COMMON
probability, and to top It al! they declare
that communists and anarchists were in

Free Coinage of Silver.
[Review of Reviews.


 The annual product of gold is now es- timated at little over $2OO, ,00O,0O9. For the years lS81- 1885 Soetbeer estimated the non-nonetary consumption at $SO, ,000, 900 year. It IS now probably thlrd more, but about S100, ,0O0. 900 re- main to be added to the currency of gold using countries. The nations of Europe using gold-and not paper have increased their population and business during the past decade barely as much as this country alone has in- creased it, and the rate of increase has been far less. Europe's supply of cur rency will increase as rapidly in propor- ton to the expansion of our industries. It is hardly necessary to anticipate any exportation of gold whatever. This nation, together with the silver-using nations of Spanish America and the Orient. constitute half of the commer- cial world. There IS no more danger of infating the currency of half the world with silver than there IS of inflating the currency of the whole world with gold and silver. The currency of the world will increase no more rapidly under na- tional bimetallism than under interna- tional bimetallism. Each will give to silver and gold at the old ratio approx imately the same currency demand. When the currency demands for the two metals were approximately the same, silver and gold remained at the old ratio during the first part of the cen tury, when three times as much silver was produced as gold; they remained at this ratio at the mlddle of this cen- tury, when three times as much gold was produced as silver. Much more, therefore, will equal currency demands maintain this ratio at the end of the century, when the two metals are pro- duced in equal amounts.

and all the legislation criticized was the work of Republicans. A small plank in the middle of the platform indorses N. O. Murphy, present delegate to con- gross.
 The ticket nominat and placed be- fore the people averages up pretty we'll and is composed of very fair citizens. It, of course, was the outcome of the usual amount of caucussing and com peting among the different possible can- didates and their friends, and like all compromises, is not entirely satisfac- tory to all. Still, however, we do not see how our friends could do much bet ter. Several times during the negotls- tions the wide differences bid fair to disrupt the entire concern, but the old heads of the party came to the rescue, and 6 truce was patched up between the warning and discordant factions.
 Of course, in the convention proper. things moved comparatively smoothly, but no one can tell what the result may be between now and the day of election,
 The usual party machinery was erect ed and is expected to run for the next two years without jar. Delegates to the Territorial Conven ton were elect ed and even this matter seemed to be the result of careful study on the part of the party managers as the entirely honorary positions were bestowed with an eye single to the adjustment of any slight differences that might have been overlooked.
 Altogether the proceedings of the convention were marked with the fea- lures of the most typical Republican Convention that has been held here for the last several years.

A Faithful Porter.

"Once, when was stopping at pio- neer hotel at Alamosa, Col. said the ancient major to the Daily National Hotel Reporter. 'I asked the landlord to have fire made in my room at 6:3O o'clock the next morning. He made a note of my request on 8 book or slate kept for that purpose, and told me the porter would attend to the matter.
 1.-The note read: Fire 40 at 6:30,
 "The portor was new to the business. He came at 6.30, and, having knocked at my door, was admitted. Then he told me to get out. I asked hIm what sort of fool he was, and he said he was all kinds, but he obeyed orders just the same. And, don't you think, that fel- low tried to throw me down the stairs. He would have succeeded in fact, had not the landlord appeared in time to save me.
 That was the new porter's interpret ation of Fire 40 at 6:30.'"

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Apache coun ty held their county convention last Tues day, the 18th inst, the detailed pro- ceedings of which can be found in sn- other column. This party can now be said to be completely in the field for this campaign, and it only remains for Democratic party to hold their conven- ton (which occurs on the 22d inst when the lines will be sharply drawn and both sides organized for work be- tween now and the election in Novem- Der next.
 The platform promulgated lndorses the St. Louis platform without any reservation whatever" This places the Republicans of Apache county in 8 fairer position before the people than those of any other county ia the Terri. tory, as We doubt whether any other county convention will indorse the &C., ton of the national convention in such uneonivocaI terms as did that of last Tuesday. This, to say the least, puts the Republicans of Apache county
 more in accord with the principles Of their side of the political fence than those of any other in this territory. Several local questions were discussed, the one of most interest being that in regard to the boundary lne between this and Graham counties. Some Of the legislation Of tue last legislative assembly wss mildly disapproved of. The passage of these acts, by the way, wss 5y sS assembly largely Republican.
