From a Manifesto by the Illinois Sound
Money Democrats.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed its sessions in the city of
Chicago.
1t entered upon its work by violating
all preccdcnts in the rejection of a dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived a sovereign state of a voice
in its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tional administration.
1t adopted a platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to L,
and thereby it rcpudiated a time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of Il sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that, al
though i'm name, ii was not in fact Il
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, a Democrat.

Senator Palmer Out.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 11.-Senator John
NJ. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of 800 Democrats
i'm this ~(Sangamon) county who will not
support the ticket, and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
mo Democrat, so far as / have been
informed, will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan is
that the Democrats of Illinois, in CO.
operation with Democrats of other states,
call a convention and nominate candi-
dates. l favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
counties, in order to preserve the Demo-
cratic organization"
Having thus stated his views as to the
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought there
was any danger to be expected from the
silver movement. He replied:
| ceive the support of the semi Populists,
| called Democrats, the real Populists who
are soon to hold a convention IN st.
! Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but who
wi the silver and want to sell it. We
will whip them out of their boots. We
ought to have fought them a year ago,

EDITOR DANA'S ADVICE.
Democrats Should Vote for McKin-
ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
Ciple to Party.

New York Sun: The political reasons
for not putting up an honest-money can
didate this year on a genuinely Demo-
cratic platform are strong and obvious.
The nomination of another Democratic
candidate would contribute to the per-
sonal comfort of Democrats who are re-
luctant to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, but
it would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for a principle only
would surely imperil the result in many
a close state.
Better far to vote for principle in
a way that will count.
Every Democratic vote cast for Viii
liam Mckinley as the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic institu-
tons against the wild horde now pre-
pairing to attack them. will do Just twice
as much service for the common cause
as can be done by a Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election.
Let every Democrat who appreciates
the magnitude of the present crisis keep
this fact steadily in mind: His vote for
Mckinley and Hobart is worth double
his vote for the best Democrat that
the sane part of the party could put up
as a protest against the inquiry consum-
mated at Chicago.
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
unutISllHulhS III tudt u tittIlDU HltduS
for our beloved country, is willing TO
cut his vote in two this year: TO deprive
his ballot of one-half its efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats. 1t will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
selves under no circumstances to cast
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is so. Let
them register their protest against Chi
cago by refusing to vote for presidential
electors. Let them concentrate their
partisan enthusiasm upon the state and
local tickets. They will help in this way
TO defend the nations honor and the
continued existence of the institutions
| which the regulators and the revolution
lists are assailing. They will help, il is
true. only half as much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle more
! han that by bestowing their votes upon
n sound-money Democrat nominated for
the sake of their personal comfort and
| p~olitical consistency.
On~the other hand, there are hundreds
| of thousands of Democrats, if not mil
| lions of them, who see in the present
crisis a call to duty only less urgent and
| inspiring than that which summoned to
the front thirty-five years ago our patri.

OPPOSE CHEAP MONEY
The Building Associations Pass ResoIu-
tons on tae Money Question.

At the annual meeting of the United
States League of Local Building Associa-
tions held in Philadelphia, July %, the
following resolution on the money ques-
ton was adopted:
The United States League of Local
Building and Loan Associations, in con-
vention assembled, declares: /. That it is
the sense of this meeting that the interest
of all shareholders of building and loan
associations in the United States de-
mands that the present standard of value
upon which our monetary system has
been based since the resumption of specie
payments in 1878 shall remain unchanged
and i~nviolate. =. That we believe that
the interest of every class in the COM
munity, and especially those of the great
wage-earning class, imperatively de-
mands that the present standard of value
whether coin or paper, shall be equal in
value to every other. 3. That patriotism
demands that the dollar bearing the
mint mark of the United States shall be
the equal of the dollar of the most ad-
yanced nations and entitled to full faith
and credit all over the world; and to
that end it must be maintained free from
all suspicion, debasement, or reputation.

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR CLASSES.
From a Pamphlet Entitled "The silver
snake"

From a Pamphlet Entitled 1.-THE Silver
snake"
What has been said about the merits
of the question in a philosophical sense
il plain and seems sound, but may there
MOI he other reasons why silver should
he coined at the ratio of 16 to 1?
What other reasons can there be?
We'll. such reasons as those given with
respcct to the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
Ii is said that the country for the past
twenty years has been gradually getting
into the hands of what is called the cred
itor class, which is alleged to be a very
small proportion of the population, while
the great majority have fallen into the
debtor class and into the absolute con-
troll of the others. Now it is alleged that
these creditors, as a rule, are harsh and,
practically owning the majority of the
people and able to dictate to them, are
Sucking what is called the life blood"
out of the country.
Who are these terrible creditors who
are doing thisl Name a single class.
Well, the bankers and money lenders,
for instance; the money power" as it is
called.
Then the country is gradually getting
into the hands of a class of which the
bankers are the representatives, and
these vampires are sucking the life
blood out of the country, crushing the
energy out of the people and enslaving
them. That is the argument then, is il!
Well, you are from Rockford, III. Let
us take the situation right in Rockford.
That city, as we understand it, is the
second largest furniture manufacturing
place in the world, being next to that of
Grand Rapids. Now, if what is said
about the terrible class of creditors bo
true, and if what is said about the awful
condition of the debtor class be true. the
trouble must be as apparent in Rockford
as in any other place in the country, and
there the people who have created the
wealth, the workers, are gradually be.
coming the slaves of those who simply

To Attempt the Impossible.

Looking to the New York Convention.
Syracuse News: The Chicago plat
form is a wide departure from the plat
form adopted by the last Democratic
state convention at Saratoga. 1t was
so wide a departure that the New York
delegation felt compelled to abstain
from participation in the nomination of
| candidates on that platform. 1t re-
mains for the coming Democratic state
| convention to formulate the policy of
the New York Democracy. That con-
vcntion, i'm nominating presidential cleo
tors, will point the way to Democrats
| which shall lead to the preservation of
| the party-the preservation Of it's nm
| sullied honor and integrity. The party
