GEORGE L. KMMER
r-''.-'' BOIES To WHITNEY.
The Iowa Statesman Annihilates the New
York Millionaire.
The substance Of e1-Secretary Whit
ney's recentdespefase letter was pub
Ilished II The ENouIRER of fWednes-
day. The New York, Herald asked
Horace Boies for his views on the mat
ter, and the great Iowan has tele.
graphed his reply as follows:
"Mr. Whitney is entirely right in his
conclusion that there Is no disposition
on the part of those who will represent
the silver sentiment of the south and
west in the Chicago convention to fur
ther discuss the matter at issue with
men whose views are Numerically
opposed to their own on the currency
question. He is entirely correct in his
conclusion that it is now, too late to
accomplish any practical results by
discussion of that character. Through
the south and west that discussion has
been extended and thorough, and the
views expressed by Mr.. Whitney have
been put forward by many men who
entertain them, and they have been
fully considered and weighed, and af-
ter all of this, the judgment of an over
whelming majority, of the party in
these sections is in evidence by the
class of delegates who have been chosen
to represent it in the Chicago conven-
tion. Not one of the men can now
disregard the known sentiment of
those who selected him without be-
traying trust and not one of them,
in my Judgment, will ever do 80.
"Mr. Whitney is.entirely wrong in
assuming that free silver Democrats
are forsaking the fundamental princi-
pies of Democracy or that what he
terms sound money Democrats are
defending these principles in their en-.
deavor to commit their party to gold
monometallism. Until the Republican
party met at st. Louis a few days ago
there was never a line written in a
national platform Of either of the great
parties that justifies the claim that the
one or the other of these parties was
committed to that doctrine. Over and
over again the Democratic party in
national convention assembled has put
itself on record in the clearest and
most comprehensive language possible
to use in fayor.of bimetallism, in favor
of the restoration of silver to its place
in our financial system as standard
money, and never for q moment in the
congress of the United States has a
majority or anything like majority
of the representatives of that party
wavsred in its devotion to the princi-
pie so clearly enunciated in the party
platforms. To assume now that ad-
herence to that principle Is abandon
ment of an established doctrine Of that
party is to defy history and ignore the
most plainly written of all its declara-
tions of policy.
ut is useless to claim that q tender
of the good officers of the party to Be-
cure an international agreement of the
free coinage of silver Is the fulfllment
of It's pledges 80 often made In this
respect. To the sincere believer in
bimetallism for the United States an
effort of this character Is little If any.
thing less than an unqualified violation
of q sacred pledge by great political
organization. If this is all Mr.. Whit
ney and those who think with him can
offer, it will be vastly better that they
offer nothing. When Mr.. Whitney
says the maintenance of our present
gold standard Is essential to the pre-
servation of our national credit and re-
demption of our public pledges he ig-
nores a great truth of which he cannot
be ignorant. He knows there is not a
single obligation Of this nation out
standing today that by its terms Is
payable in gold alone, and he knows
that right upon the face of the bulk OF
the bonds Is written, in substance, that
they are payable in coin of the United
States of the standard weight and fine
ness of its coins before silver was de-
monetized, and that, therefore, by their
own express terms they are payable in
our present silver dollar, If the govern
ment elects to so pay them.
eff to undo what has been done to
add to the burdens of the toiling mill
ions of this nation and double the for
tunes of the rich within it is to disrupt
the Democratic party, disruption must
come. The majority of that party
threatens no wrong to any one, and if
those who compose that majority can
avoid it all may be assured they will
submit to no wrong, suoh as the per-
manent establishment of q single gold
standard would impose upon the
great mass of the people ofthis nation.

The HISTORY OF CAKE.
1t is interesting to trace back to the
earliest records the history ofcake and
cake making. The ancients made cake,
h,,t IL uas not the rich hiphly season.
