The st. Louis Conventions.

The silver men in convention in St.
Louis organized by the election of
w. P. st. John chairman. A strong
silver platform was submitted by the
committee, and conference commit
tee was appointed to meet similar
committee from the Populist conven-
ton. Stirring speeches were made by
eminent men in the movement and
the convention adjourned from day to
day awaiting action of the Populists.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, was elect
ed permanent chairman of the Popu-
list Convention. He is a Bryan man.
The middle. of-the-road" Populists
voted for James X. Champion OF
Maine, the vote standing 1853 to 564.
This vote presaged the endorsement OF
Bryan, but by no means indicated the
acceptance of Sewell for the Vice Pres
idency. Much time was wasted in
awaiting reports Of committees, and
the intervals served for speech making,
singing OF campaign songs and devices
for advancing the objects OF the rival
factions. The middle-of-the road"
men made several attempts at " stage
effect" but with little success in pro-
noting that enthusiasm for which
they were devised.
The platform submitted by the
committee denounces the old parties,
declaring that their policies have
brought the country to the verge of
ruin and enthroned plutocracy upon
the ruins of the democracy. The fin
ancial plank demands the free COIN
age OF silver and the further increase
OF the circulating medium according
to the demands OF business. 1t de-
nounces the sales of bonds by the
present administration, and demands
law prohibiting issues in the future.
1t demands legislation to prohibit dis.
elimination between different kinds of
money in contracts; that the govern
ment shall pay obligations in any
kind of lawful money; a graduated
income tax, and postal savings banks.
The land plank declares against land
monopoly for speculative purposes,
and condemns the Pacific railroad
land grant frauds" Direct legislation,
national, State and local, is demanded.
The transportation plank demands
government ownership of railroads
and OF telegraph and telephone lines.

That a financial panic is upon the
country no one will deny. Universal
disaster will be the result if relief does
not come. How can this be brought
about? is the question. How can our
homes be saved, and prosperity and
happiness again smile upon us?
For this end all sectional differences
should be laid aside, and that policy
adopted which will bring about the de-
sired result.
What makes hard times? Is it
scarcity of money, or ways to get it?
we hear people complaining of
their inability to get cash enough for
ordinary expenses. Then it is evident
we need more money in circulation.
How can we get this? answer, re-
monetize silver and put it in circula.
ton with gold. so that instead of one.
we have two kinds of money. Gold is
the only legal money now. If you
borrow from the bank your note calls
Tor Gold COIN" and if the banker
sees tit he can refuse any other kind of
money.
Gold is in the hands of the few. and
Tor some cause it is kept there, and the
business men cannot get money to
work with unless they borrow at high
rate OF interest; so all kinds of business
Is crippled for want of capital.
Upon the money question the two
political parties draw their lines. The
gold party want gold only as legal
money OF the United States, the silver
party are in favor OF both silver and
gold as legal money; thus instead of
one, having two kinds, and by the re.
storing of silver to its place az money
OF the United States, increase the VOL
ume OF our currency, available for
transactions. The gold
party admits the usefulness of the hi.
metallic system, and say they are will.

Is That All P

The oratory of VIM. J. Pryan is
making the Republican wind-bags
fairly green with envy, and they are
now trying to lessen the effect OF his
speeches by asserting that they are
in the main, repetitions of what he
has said before. Well, why should
they not be, when the distinguishing
creed of the two platforms is mar
rowed down to a single plank. 1t
would be simply impossible for any
body to present the same ideas day
after day, in speech after speech, and
use different form of expression
every time, even were the memory OF
man able to select from the greatest
vocabulary Of any language, new forms
and reject those already used, without
occasional repetition.
The Oregonian devotes much space
in each of its daily issues to establish
an implied charge of plagiarism. 1t
finds no fault with Bryan's matches
rhetoric, nor does it claim that his
forms OF expression are not wholly his
own; but it holds up as a great fault
that he sometimes uses the same fig
ures that he has used before. Well,
we'll; if that is all that the astute
brain OF a Scott, or the malignity OF
his party of gold worshipers Can bring
against the methods OF the Democratic
nominee, while they grope in vain for
any legitimate subject of censure, he
may we'll afford to exclaim: LAY on
McDuf!"
The Oregoaian has discovered that
