gold standard is permanently established.
So it seems that Mr.. Greene can now pay,
and for aught know is paying, in
dollars worth only 80 cents" II the con-
tention of the goldites is true. 1t GER
tainly would be interesting TO know how
many families have received gold from
Mr.. Greene's company, or from any
other. 1t also seems to me that If Mr..
Greenes' dsspised silver dollar Is main
tained full legal tender, then his policy
holders can pay into his company pre-
cisely the kind of money that Mr.. Greene
proposes to pay their families, and, what
is more to the point, his policy holders
can continue to pay their premiums, IL
they deem 1t prudent to remain in his
company, but If the gold standard is es-
tablished, which necessarily means the
reduction of the silver dollar to mere
token money and the doubling in value
Of the gold dollar, for one, doubt my
ability to keep up my premiums, since 1
will have to give so much more of my
labor and products to get dollar than
l now do. 1t is hard enough for me to
keep up my premiums and support my
family now, but If we are to continue on
the present gold basis, with money get
ting dearer and dearer, l am afraid, since
have no fixed income, that I will be
com PEELED to let my policy lapse in order
to use the money, that otherwise would
go to pay premiums, to meet current ex-
penses. But don't you think Mr.. Greene
has indulged in some humbug, intended
either to pacify the families of his
$3.50, 900 policy holders when he shall
come to offer them 80 cents instead of 100
cents for each dollar invested with him,
or to frighten them for purely political
purposes2 l would be glad If you would

Editor Democrat: Dear Sir--As q
reader Of the good old Stark County
Democrat since 1 was little boy In 1865,
1 am surprised at the stand my old friend,
A. MoGregor, has taken, supporting the
Chicago Populist- Democratic ticket. II
was pretty big pill to swallow the 10 to
1 resolution, but above all else, and
which was the last straw, in my estima-
tion as a good jackson Democrat, was the
resolution oondemning the present Demo
cratic president and Democratic admins
tration, the best and squarest this country
has ever had. Such cussedness, such
lunacy, and such feather-brained work
l never heard of before in a Democratic
convention, ard deserves to be con-
demned by every true Democrat by not
voting the ticket want to ask my
old friend just one question. How much
would the government paper dollar be
worth In gold, II the government should
refuse to redeem 1t In gold and should in.

tanning but 55 to 20 cents worth of silver

JONES DENIES A DEAL.
Sewall Not to Withdraw, as
Far as He Knows,
BY AGREEMENT WITH POPULIsTs.
The Democratic National Chairman In
Washington TO Consult with the Lead.
ers--Going to New York to Attend the
Notification and Committee Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-SenatDr Jones
of Arkansas, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, has returned to
this city from his trip to the west,
which included st. Louis, during the
Populist convention week, Mr.. Bryau's
at Lincoln, and the senator's home in
Arkansas. The senator expects to re-
main in the city during the coming
week for consultation with such Demo
cratic leaders as may be here from time
to time, and later will go to New York
city to attend the meeting of the na.
tional committee on the 1lth, and the
Bryan and Sewall notification ON the
day following.
The understanding was that the two
candidates will be notified at the same
time, as has been by the Democratic
party in the past. Pending the
meeting of the national committee
in New York, the final disposition Of
the question Of the establishment of
permanent headquarters during the
coming campaign is hardly looked for.
Senator Jones had nothing definite to
say on this subject and expressed the
opinion that the matter wouldn't be
settled until the committee meets.
While Senator Jones is believed to
have about decided upon the formation
Of the executive committee which will
have active charge of campaign work,
he is not yet prepared to make public
any names. In this case. also, he ex.
pressed the opinion that the committee
will not be fully named until the meet.
ing in New York. He may, however,
announce an individual member or two
during his stay in this city.
Questions bearing on the attitude of
Mr.. Bryan toward the Populist nomina'
tion and affecting the retention of Mr.
Sewall on the national ticket are those
on which the chairman declined to ex,
press an opinion. The senator's atten.
tion was called to the statement in the

MIR. McGregor's Response.

Canton, o., August 5, 1885, :
Editor News Democrat:
The foregoing has been handed us,
being named therein.
Our friend does not seem 10 be aware
that the constitution of the United States
recognizes silver as we'll as gold, these
precious metals only being tender In
pay ment of debts. The depreciation of
silver as a metal is entirely in conse-
quence of the war made upon it, Had
President Cleveland obeyed his oath Of
office and maintained and defended the
constitution, and redeemed in coin as the
obligations read, the condition Of things
would be different.
Congress has always refused to legalize
gold bonds, and no president ever asked
1t but Grover Cleveland; assuredly not
Andrew jackson, for he was for the con-
stitution, bimetallic document. Our
friend has not yet discovered that the
British gold side has no argument and
cann not meet these constitutional points
If the cheaper metal is the one that
should be refused coinage, and equally
fair treatment otherwise. according to
contract, 1t should have been gold in
1878, as silver was about 9 per cent.
above gold, and had been running that
way for years. uy..r
In his letter to Mr.. Howells four years
ago, Mr.. Cleveland thought Democrats
were in honor bound to stand by the
action of our national convention. II
that was good doctrine then, it is now.
1t should also be remembered that no
national convention of any political
party ever proclaimed in favor Of the
single gold standard until the recent Mo,
Kinley affair at St. Louis Stick a pin
there.
As to Mr.. Cleveland, his time is nearly
up, and the people have passed Judgment,
and they are not likely to reverse it soon.
He has not yet proclaimed where he
stands, whether for Bryan or Mckinley
but 1t is some time till November, and
We ulby near lEUIu MIN p6lOr6
The Democracy have enunciated and
nominated, and thus far seem to be well
satisfied; ana the outlook is decidedly
encouraging. 1t may be that Mr. Cleve
land is not in 1t, but the election in Ala
bama on Monday is good sign.
Our IecenJ national convention really
thought the people of this land had somt
rights that even money magnates should
respect, and people quite generally of al
parties seem to agree. Mr.. Rooms re
minds one Of the juror who differed from
his eleven colleagues and called them fool
and lunatics.
The Chicago national convention faith
fully and nobly proclaimed and reiterated
the doctrines of the Democratic party
They truly represented the Democracy
as all signs since confirm. 1t is to b.
hoped our worthy friend will fall into lin
> and do full duty in electing Bryan ant
3 restoring justice and the constitution.

II see that some of the Populists are
