A PRAYER ron THE couNrR Y /.

Last week Bishop Potter, of New
York, sent to the clergy of his diocese
a. prayer to be used in The Episcopal
churches last Sunday. 1t is entilted
"a prayer for the country, set forth for
use in the diocese of the state of New
York, by the ecclesiastical authorities"
and is as follows:
o Almighty Lord, who fashionest the
hearts of men an conSiderest all their
works, grant, we beseech thee, to us
and to all the people OF this land, the
spirit of obedience to thy command
nleGts; that, walking only in thy fear,
we may under thy mighty protection,
continue to dwell in righteousness and
peace. Defend our liberties; preserve
our unity; save us from dishonesty,
lawlessness and violence; from discord
and confusion; from pride and AFRO
gancy, and from every evil way. Con-
tinue thy goodness to us. that the her
ifage received from our fathers may be
preserved in our time and transmitted
impaired to the generations to come;
that all the nations of the earth
may know that thou, o Lord, art our
Savior and mighty deliverer and our
king forever. Grant this, we beseech
thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord
amen.
Such prayers are rather unusual
That which has called out this one is
the political situation no doubt Most
likely Bishop Potter is in favor of the
gold standard and looks upon the Chi
cago platform and ticket with strong
disapproval- 1t may be the case it
most likely is. that he sees the same
dangers ahead that so many gold men
have seen. or rather thought they have
seen, should Mr.. Bryan be elected and
the country get free coinage. And no
doubt it is this which prompted the
putting forth of this prayer. While
we cannot accept his dark views of the
situation, yet everyone wilf acknowl-
edge the nobility of the language and
say amen to its sentiments.

THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION.

The Indianapolis convention, the
convention of those Democrats VINO
bottled the Chicago platform and
ticket, has met, entered its protest
against the Democratic party, pro-
mulgated its platform, named it's can
didates, and, best of all, adjourned.
There was no enthusiasm whatever
about it, nor viii it create any when
its speakers go into the field. The
speech of Ex-Governor Flower, of New
York, as temporary chairman, was
Ions and dreary, and failed to pre-
sent the cause he advocated with any
speech in no way compares with Sen
ator HilIs at Chicago in behalf Of the
same cause. 1t can only be character
lied as weak.
Unquestionaibly those who got up the
convention expected direct and open
encouragement from President Cleve-
land, most likely in the form of a
letter. The letter never came Had
it, lit would have lent TO the occasion
an Importance it is now lacking. This
fact cannot fail to be commented upon
by all prospective supporters of the
ticket
The object of the convention from
the beginning was TO defeat Mr.. Bryan.
Those who viii support its nominees
would not have supported Mr. Bryan
IN any event but would have suiked
IN tneir tents. How many disaffected
Democrats it will draw away from
Mckinley it is impossible to say; per-
haps not a great number.
The convention will not have that
moral effect which was hoped and
anticipated for 1T some time ago. 1t
was a coincidence meeting for the dis
gruntled and will be recognized and
treated as such.

THE LINE WELL DEFINED.

It is ludicrously incongruous, as well
as an imposition on public credulity,
to associate the name of William Nc
Kiniey with bimetallism. Mr.. McKin-
ley is recorded in history as at one
time cilampioning the cause of silver.
But, aspiring to higher office in the
councils of the nation and believing
that the avenue leading to it was
through subservience to the money
power, he deserted the principles he
had protested and has subscribed to
the gold standard doctrine. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is the candidate of the capitals
tic element, an automaton as it were.
and, no matter what his views and
convictions were in the past, if elect
ed he will be firmly held to the tenets

"NATIoNAL DEMOCRATIC, PLAT
FORM.

The National Democrats in con-
vention assembled at Indianapolis
have put forth their platform Of prin-
ciples. With many of its planks all
Democrats will agree. The first plank
which declares that the Democratic
party is pledged to equal and exact
justice to all men of every creed and
condition; to economy in public expen-
ditures and against patemalism and all
class legislation, is as sound Demo-
cratic doctrine as could be-
The platform says that the condi-
tons which made possible the utter
ances of the Chicago convention are
the direct result of legislation by the
Republican party. This is very largely
correct, particularly the legislation of
February u, 1878; and which legisla-
ton receives the hearty approval of
Mr.. Cleveland and the gentlemen who
formulated this platform.
All the declarations regarding pro-
lection and the tariff are sound, as are
those that say there should be strict
economy in the appropriations and in
the administration of government; also
those favoring arbitration for the set
tlement of international disputes.
The weakness of the platform is it's
declarations on the financial question.
They are utterly opposed to the free
coinage of silver and declare for the
gold standard. That was to have been
expected, as it was the opposition of
the boiling Democrats to free silver
that was the prime factor in bringing
about the third party movement The
money plank is not so clean cut as was
to have been expected. The reason
may be that the gentlemen were so
bent upon saving the country that they
had not time to put it in clear, terse
language.
Nothing could be more ridiculous
than the declaration that the deficiency
of revenue finds its partial cause lin
the stagnation of trade and reduced
consumption due to loss of confidence
that mas followed the Populist threat
of free coinage" What nonsense to
say the Democratic party practically
esta blished by the legislation of 1884
and 1858 the gold standard of none
tary measurement"
Mr.. Cleveland's administration is in
dorsed and praised in terms almost /
fulsome. Indorsing the administration (
is a matter of taste, as the old woman
said when she kissed her cow.

probation. Tt is not analogous to BIZ
metallism. 1t is an unusual and un-
equiyocal declaration for a gold stand
ard 1t is neither compatible with, nor
reeoncilable to, bimetallic sentimental

or legerdemain cam disguise the atti-
tude Of Mr.. Mckinley and his party.
BY them bindallism and kindred doc
trlnes have been condemned and pas
sionately thrust aside. The ST. Louis
platform boldly excludes and alienates

machinery of government be entrusted

TALES OF THE DAY.
A Modern Defense.

We propose to show, gentlemen of the
Jury, said the counsel for the defense,
that it is impossible for the defendant
TO have committed this crime.
!, In the first place, we will prove that
the defendant was nowhere near the
scene OF the crime at the time the crime
was committed.
Next. we will offer the indisputable
testimony Of persons VINO saw defendant
on the spot, and who did not see the de-
PENDANT commit the crime.
We viii show that no poison was found
in the body of the deceased.
Not only that, but we will prove that

this case.
We will Furthermore show that the
deceased committed suicide.

THE SALT LAKE HERALD. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER j. 1895.

being demonedzed, wool sold at so
/ son act was only a. temporary meas
ure in so far as restituting silver was
concerned. and the market again took
a. downward turn and has been moving
in that direction ever since. Since the
decentralization act there has been a,
shrinkage in the price of wool of about
90 per cent One can form an intel
ligent opinion of the loss Utah has
thus sustained by computing a net loss
of 90 per cent on the wool crop each
year. What is true of wool is true of
all farm commodities. Farm products
are worth less now than at any time
in the history of the nation The debt
paying capacity of labor, of farm pro-
ducts and of silver bullion is about so
per cent less now than in 1873. 1t is
generally believed by those who do not
stop to think that the silver producing
states will alone be injured by gold
standardism and will alone be bene-
fitted by the restoration of the white
metal That this is not fact, that the
commercial value of the output, SO far
as revenue from this source is con-
cerned, is but a drop in the bucket
compared with the benefits to be de-
rived from an increase in the earning
capacity of labor and an increase in
the value of all products of the farm,
is proven beyond question by prevail
ing prices prior to the destruction of
silver as a basal coin.
Strictly agricultural states like
Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Missouri and
Wisconsin will be benefited ten times
more by the restoration of silver than
the silver producing states; and the
farmers and laborers Of these states
will benefit to a much greater extent
than the man who owns silver mines
or the man who is employed in them.
