The following is an editorial from the
London Financial News (gold bugl:
There is . plain moral in the remark
that If the United States would venture
to cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver. she would have
all of America and Asia ct her back and
the command of the markets OF both
countries. The barrier Of gold would be
more fatal than any barrier OF . custom
house. The bond of silver would be
stronger than any bond Of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it that II
the United States were to adopt . silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not only
ct home, bat in every other market. OF
course the United States would suffer to
. certain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold. but the
loss OF exchange under this head would
be q mere drop in the bucket as CON-
pared to the profit to be reaped from the
markets of South America and Asia, to
say nothing Of Europe. The marvel is
that the United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has been Q
piece of luck that it has never occurred
to the Americans to scoop us out Of the
worlds markets by going on . silver
basis, and it might serve Us right il, irri.
tased by the contemplate apathy Of our
Government toward the silver problem,
the Americans retaliated by freezing out
the gold. Ii could be DONE"

ERROR IN PLATFORM.

A Little Rock dispatch Of July 3lst
says The National Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago, as certified by the
official stenogrspher, Mr.. E. Dickinson.
contains q clause in the money plank
which, according to Senator James X.
Jones, Chairman Of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, was rejected by the
convention, and has no place in the Off
cial platform.
In the certified copy of the platform
after the sentence demanding the silver
dollar shall be a full legal tender equally
with gold for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and 1--WE favor such legislation as
will prevent for the future the demoneti-
cation of any kind Of legal tender money
by private contract" appears the clause,
but it should be carefully provided by
law at the same time that any change in
the monetary standard should not apply
10 existing contracts"
This latter clause, according to Sem
ator Jones, was not adopted. 1t was Of.
fered as an amendment by Hill Of New
York. The erroneous insertion into the
official platform Of this clause by the off
cial stenographer, was discovered by Col.
j. N. Smith, editor of the Arkansas Gaz-
cite, who at once wrote to Senator Jones
in regard to the matter. A reply has
been received by that Senator, stating
that all amendments to the platform pro.
posed by Senator Hill we're rejected.

The Silver State Of July 81 gives the
following extract from the speech Of Coz
gresham Newlsnds at Wiunemucca. In
the speech Mr.. Newlsnds declares him
self . candidate for reelection. and his
reference to his personal service TO the
cause Of silver will be appreciated by the
voters OF the State. The telling points
of Mr.. yewlands' speech were heartily
cheered by bis hearers:
"Speaking Of the situation in Nevada,
Mr.. Newlands said there were three par
ties for silver-the Silver, Democratic
and Populist-snd one for gold-the Re-
publican. He said that these constituted
the great silver army Of this State, and
that ID made little difference in which
one OF the three batsllions Of this army
the voters fought, but be urged harmony
among the three in their battle against .
common foe. An arrangement by which
the conventions would be held ct the
same time and place aud confer, would
be a potent means Of accomplishing that
end. He hoped that in this Nevada
would set the same worthy example it
did two and four years ago in blazing .
path for the true friends Of silver in other
States to follow.
"with reference to his personal can
didacy, Mr.. Newlands said he desired a
nomination and reelection to Congress.
Eight years ago he was a member of the
first National Silver Convention. Since
that time he has labored to the best Of
his ability for the cause Of silver. Now
the goal is in sight and he wished to par
ticipate in the victorious silver rati6ca-
tion-the passage of q free silver coinage
bill-which will follow the Inauguration
Of William j.. Bryan on the 4th Of next
March,"

The friends Of silver in the State OF
Nevada should all unite in a cripple
alliance" such as was welded at st.
Louis. Democrats, Silver men and Pop.
ulists are lighting for a common cause.
and Nevada should fall into line with the
general trend Of national politics and
form an alliance with all Of the three par.
ties in line. Let the Democrats, Silver
men and Populists each select a Presi-
Dental elector to be voted for jointly,
and when elected their vote should be
cast for Bryan. The Regents Of the Uni
versity could be divided the same way,
there being two to elect, and the party
not naming a Regent could select a can
didate for Supreme Judge.
The Supreme Judge ought not to be an
ex-Democrat, as there are two ex-Dem-
ocrats on the bench now. Such q unfit

would mean a sweeping of the State by

William G. Whitney's wall over the
failure Of the Mckinley managers to
grasp the opportunity Of uniting all the
gold standard forces is suggestive.
Mr.. Whitney's remarks concerning the
refusal Of the Hanna syndicate to put
aside all but the money issue indicate
that an attempt has been made to get the
Republicans and dissatisfied Democrats
together on that basis.
II is evident that something in the ma
ture Of 9 pledge has been sought from
Major McKinley's campaign managers
that the votes cast for gold will not be
counted for protection.
