From II Manifesto by the Illinois Sound
Money Democrats.

A national conventAn 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 precedents i'll the rejection of dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived II sovereign state of 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 platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and thereby it repudiated time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of n sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that al
though in name, it was not in fact a
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, Democrat.

They will want to put their votes where

tional dishonor. They will fire their bal
lots straight at the common enemy, even
though the ballots be labeled Mckinley.
1t would be a piece of political folly
tion of this class of Democrats from the
suit of the election, by setting up inop-
perfume claims to a partisan allegiance
which, in an emergency like this, is NOM
inal at the best.
Mass every honest American vote on
one candidate representing honest
money, the nations honor. and the intcn-
tion of this people to preserve the gov
crnment and the institutions which their
fathers handed down to them. Waste
no ammunition when Popuism is shrek
ing its battle cry, and anarchy is lurking
close behind in the rear with torch in
hand.
Mckinley's personality is nothing in
this contest. His previous political affili-
ations are nothing. Accident has decreed
that he shall stand for the time for some
thing thousand times more precious
than any party badge.

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
in this (Sangamon) county who will not
support the ticket, and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
"No Democrat, so far as / have been
informed, will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan il
that the Democrats of Illinois, in CO.
operation with Democrats of other states,
call convention and nominate candi-
dates. | favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
counties, in order a. 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:
mot a particle. Mr.. Bryan will re-
ceive the support of the semi-Populists,
called Democrats, the real Populists who
are soon to hold convention IN st.
Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but who
own the silver and want to sell it. We
will whip them out of their boots. We
ought to have fought them year ago,
and l wanted to, do it, but the people
| seemed indisposed to move i'm the mat
ter. We win fight them now, however,
and give them enough of it.
"There is nothing in the platform but
nee but mouth. He is good talker, he
| is fine talker, but when that is said 1t
is all said. At the same time l think he
| is the right sort of a man for conven-
ton of that character to nominate. lie
suits a gathering of that kind"

OPPOSE CHEAP MONEY.
The Building Associations Pass ResoIu.
tions on tao 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, &eclares: /. That it is
the sense of this meeting that the interest
of all shareholders of building and loun
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 inviolate. 2. That we believe that
the interest of every class in the com
munity, and especially those of the great
wage-earning class, imperatiyely de-
mands that the present standard of value
whether coin or papsr, 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-
vanced 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 repudiation.

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 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 Will
liam Mckinley as the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic institu-
tions 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 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 inquity cOnsum-
mated at Chicago.
understanding all that the election means
for our beloved country, is willing to
cut his vote in two this year; to delh'iye
his ballot of one-half it's 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 theu
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 repudiators and the revolution
| lists are assailing. They will help, it Is
| true, only half as much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle NOR,
than that by bestowing their votes upor
n sound-money Democrat nominated fol
the sake of their personal comfort and
| political consistency
On the other hand, there are hundreds
| of thousands of Democrats, il not mil
lions of them, who see in the present
| crisis call to duty only less urgent and
| inspiring than that which summoned tc
the front thirty-fiye years ago our patti

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR CLASSES.
From IA Pamphlet Entitled "The Silver
Snake"

What has been said about the merits
of the question in n philosophical sense
is plain and seems sound, but may there
not be other reasons why silver should
be coined at the ratio of III to
What other reasons can there be?
Well such reasons as those given with
respect to the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
1t 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 very
small proportion of the popula ton, 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 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 thisf Name single class.
Well, the bankers apd money lenders,
for instance; the ''moIiNy power" as 1t is
called.
Then the country is gradually getting
into the hands of IA class of which the
bankers are the representatives, and
these vampires" are sucking the life
bkOod" out of the country, crushing the
energy out of the people and enslaving
them. That is the argument then, is ii
Well. you are from Rockford, Ill. 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 be
true, and If what is said about the awfu
condition of the debtor class be true, the
trouble must be as apparent in Rockford
aS in any other place In the country and
wealth, the workers, are gradually be.
coming the slaves of those who simply

A VITAL ISSUE.
The Republican Party's Consistent
Stand as Regards the Tariff.

From 1878 to 1892 the period of maxi
mum national prosperity under Republic
an economic policies-which the first
Cleveland administration, lacking con-
trol of Congress. was unable to disturb
the foreign movement of our gold gave us
practically no concern. 1t is illustrated
in the amended mile.

sands and thousands of Democrats in
Alabama will learn with mingled emo
tions of anger and shame that Demo-
cratic national convention declined to de-
clare of Grover Cleveland the simple
truth tHat his honesty, economy, cour-
age, and fidelity" deserved commenda-
ton at the hands of Democrats. The in.

causes to over 10000 sound money Dem
ocrats in Alabama is heightened when
