THE PLATFORM.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION Is UP
PERM0ST AT ST. LOUIS.
Hansbrough, of Dakota, Wants an Ameri-
can Declaration in Favor of Bimet-
allism and No Favors for
England.

ST. LOUIS, June lO.-The man.
cial question continues uppermost.
Senator Hsnsbrough, member Of
the national committee, In speak
ing of the currency question said:
"The republican party should at
least pledge itself to labor for an
international conference to agree
upon a fixed ratio between silver
and gold, and the nominee Of the
convention should be Instructed to
force the gold nations Of Europe
through trade determinations,
and the closing Of intercourse with
them to establish bimetallism as
the universal rule. Should the re-
publican party take hold Of this
great question In the vigorous
way it has grappled with
other great questions the mas
ses would support it heart
lily. This, In my idea should be
the central idea in framing
the financial plank. All the
clap-trap about honest dollars
and parity and untarnished honor
used in the construction of former
platforms should be left out,
Every patriotic American believes
in sustaining the untarnished
honor Of the country and In honest
dollars, and millions Of voters are
thoroughly satisfied that our ma
tional honor should be preserved
and that amnesty would prevail
under q just system of bimetalism.
The fact is that the gold standard
advocates do not want bimetalism.
England does not want bimetal-
ism. We have been resolving in
favor of bimetalism and legisla-
tion in favor of the British bond
holder until distrust and intoler-
ance has arisen in the minds Of the
masses. In 1898 England closed
the minis Of India to silver, and
we repealed the Sherman law.
Strange as it may appear, these
two events took place within thirty
days of each other.
at would look very much like
collision, only we are assured 1t
was done to restore public conf
dence. The Americans know there
is nothing to hope for under
policy which means more bond
issues and perpetuates the gold
standard.
"Leading southern delegates with
whom / have talked admit the
force of this argument, but they
answer that the democratic party
has become the champion Of silver
and consequently the republican
party must take the other side OF
the question. II we are given a
straight gold plank next week, it
will be largely with the help of
delegates from states which never
gave q republican vote in the
electoral college. fit is the mis-
take of approving the English
financial system, it will be any
thing but q cheerful campaign for
our party. Other orators may
turn the eagle loose and unfurl the
stars and strips when talking on
the tariff question but it will need
a unicorn and the cross Of st.
George when they discuss the
financial question"

THE GERMAN-AMERICANS' PO-
SITION,

Washington, June lit is abso-
lutely certain now that the party
which declares for sound money in
this campaign will have the support
of all prominent German-Americans
of the country. This is especially
true in Illinois. The most prominent
German-Americans in the state are
after Altgeld and will defeat him for
reelection If poss"le because of his
silver views. Petitions are being
sent to every prominent German
American in the country asking him
to stand for sound money everywhere
Representative <Kiefer today received
one Of these and. will ..be with his
countrymen in their fight.

and China. India's stock of silver
money is equivalent to 1926, 100000,
China has 100000 and the
United States stock of silver money
is $624,0OO,OOO. The next largest
stock of silver money is tLat OF
France, $500, 100000. Germany has
$215, 100000 and the United King
dom only 100000. Mexico, a
free silver country of which we hear
a good deal now, has only s50.OO0,-
600 of silver money.
SILVER ASSERTION:
''This country is suffering from a
scarcity of currency"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
The banks of New York City alone
are now holding over $2O,OOO,OOO of
idle currency, for which its owners
can find no safe or profitable invest
ments. The banks of nearly all of
our large cities are in the same fix.
To coin or print more money now
would be merely to add to this stock
of idle and consequently useless cur
rency.
SILVER ASSERTION:
The farmer or laboring man are
poor and we want to introduce free
coinage of silver SO that they may
have more dollars"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
The farmer or iaboring man can
today get as many dollars as he, can
G) earn, OF ~ give goods for. or
(3) give good security for borrowing.
There are probably 2O0.O0O,00O un-
used dollars now in the county. If
there were 10 times as many there
would be no other way in which the
farmer or laboring man could get
hold of any part of them than those
above mentioned.

WORTH vorERs, READING

The following pertinent questions
and answers are from the Dry Goods
Economist:
SILVER ASSERTION:
''You contracted the currency by
-discontinuing the coinage of silver
dollars on private account in 1879"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
The total currency of the United
States in 1865 was s714,7O2, ,995. In
1875, two years after the discontinue
ance of the coinage of silver, 1t had
Increased to $754,1o1, ,947. and it has
continued to increase until the total
money in circulation in this country
in 1895 was 81 sol ,968,473.
SILVER ASSERTION:
stYou have demonetized silver and
destroyed the dollar of our fathers
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
All the silver dollars coined in this
country from the Revolution till 1873
numbered s,045, 1888. Much of this
time even these did not circulate,
being worth as bullion more than a
gold dollar and consequently being
melted or boarded. Since 1873 we
have put in circulation over $780,
100000 In silver, or more than so
times as mulch as the total coinage
previous to 1873, and on the 1st of
last month the number of silver dol
1ars was 430, 0,79O,O41.
SILVER ASSERTION:
4'Free coinage of silver will ex-
pand our currency"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
A law decreeing the free coinage
of silver would instantly contract
the currency by the total amount of
our gold coin ts567, ,00O,00o) going
out of circulation, for every one INTO
whose possession gold came would
hoard whatever he could save of it,
knowing that its value would always
remain unchangeable. To supply
this instantaneous loss of currency
with silver dollars worth in gold 50
cents would require the operation of
all the mints in the country night
and day for 10 years, during which
time good deal might happen to us.
SILVER ASSERTION:
~The United States has stricken
cut and disgraced silver
EaE FACT IN THE CASE:
The United States are today the
largest user of silver as money of all
the nations on earth, excepting India

weigh many tons. even when light.
The scow in question sank at the

morning, an effort was made to raise
the craft and turn it bottom up. in or
der that the repairs might be made.
Operations were started at high tide
The tug Henry Chapel with the assist
ance of a derrick on the wharf, were
successful in raising the scoW on its
side to an angle of about so degrees.
and then, when the work seemed about

the refractory scoW settled down be

raise it Will be made this morning.
