TEE MONEY PLANK TO-DAY.

II the convention at Everett today sees

fion. the declaration shosid be clean cut
ara unsqulyocal. The Minneapolis plank

fed the demands OF that time. but the bust

for sound money and against the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver 1t the ratio Of

ington.
All signs point to emphatic reputation
OF the free silver heresy. The period OF
irresoIution IN now q matter Of history.
From ell over the land come reports that
. folly, which at one time might have been
captivating. Is al last being proved vision

stAts has come out squarely against the
free silver idea and the Republicans OF
Washington should not fan to make II clear
TO tho rest OF the Union Tia they are In
touch with the honest. rational thought Of
The best minds In the land.
There should be no abandonment Of sound
money principles such as has characterized
the actions Of some few Republican con-
vsntions within the past few weeks. 1t

ventions Of Minnesota, Wisconsin. New
York and Massachusetts,. Let II DO known
that the state OF Washington II not carried
away by faiiacies that smack Of repudh-
ton or coin clipping.
Should the delegates at Everett decide to
instruct. We believe those instructions will
be In keeping with the history Of the party
which has from first TO last fought for an
honest currency. The state OF Washing
ton. A. much rs any other. Is interested In
tho preservation Of the Integrity and sta
bll'ty Of our medium of exchange. and the
Republicans OF that state should not hest
tate TO say tina, they are In favor OF the
best kind Of money-money as good as that
OF the most enlightened nations OF the
world. in which every dollar Is equal IN
value 10 every other dollar. They should
Oppose tho free coinage OF silver. because
that will not give us such money. and It
should be done without the slightest slgn
OF trimming. straddlIng and doAgins

Growing Sentiment for Honest Cur.
rency IhrOughOut the state.
Elma Chronicle: The Republican party
Is not party OF reputation or cheap
money, ana II We begin right in this cam
paign we shall end right; and the place to
begin u At home. No state In the Union
would suffer moro than Washington
should the FREQ silver heresy succeed. and
the only way to prevent its success 10 to
pay attention to the matter ct the outset
OF the campaign.
Cosmopclis Enterprise: Reports In
dictate that Eastern Washington win
not present solid free silver
front Good. We hope all our
east Of the mountain friends win soon re-
cover from this diabolical infection. The
atmosphere over there must be tainted
with 16 to microbes. but they will speed
lily die IL subjected to the clear light of
reason for q sufficient length OF tims.
Centralia Chronicle: We believe that q
weak or time serving declaration on the
money question would be an exceedingly
bad advertisement for the state and would
greatly delay development of Washington's
resources. The money plank Of the wash
tngton Republicans should be firm and un-
yielding in favor OF the only standard in
which the commercial world has confidence
or under which it consents to do business
with US.
Whatcom Reveille. The plank Is souare-
ly a committal OF the party in this county,
represented by 30 delegates, to the gold
standard. coupled with the only rational
use OF silver as money. Now II the state
convention will have the good Judgment
and courage to take similar position, II
will go far towards tearing into tatters
the pail of depression which has enshroud-
ed this state so long. We believe 1t will
be done. and that the 16-l hcreey in Wash
ington will have the life blood let out OF
1t ct Everett.
HoQuiam Washingtonian: The time has
come for the Republicans OF Washington
to stop flirting with the free silver hum
bug. 1t was only done at the last con-
vention to curry favor with the fopullsts,
and placed the state In a bad light. That
vote made our representatives support the
SILVER fight when they knew better, but
thought they must do so TO represent
their constituents At the coming con-
vention money plank should be passed
that will be as Republican as the protec-
tive measure Let US stand for something.
not put before the voters a plank that
may mean anything or nothing.
Spokane Chronicle: Clarke, Yakima
Snohomish. Whatcpm and other In
fuential counties have given posi-
tive instructions against free coinage.
King county has placed her votes in the
hands OF avowed anti-silver men Pierce
and Lincoln counties dare not express
anything resembling an opinion. II the
{a4ntest action is to be taken in favor of
silver by this Republican convention Il
must be by the efforts OF tho delegates
from Northeastern Washington; and ur-
less these delegates are aggressive from
the start, look out for a gold standard
platform for the Republicans of Wash
ington to climb upon.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-10
MR.. HokE SMITH TALKS.

Those who won yesterday proclaimed
principles for which the most illus
trious Democrats in the history of the
party have contended. The distinctive
Republican doctrine of protection was
shrewdly obscured by the Republican
nominee and his followers. The coun-
try was confronted by the danger of a
debased currency and the Republican
party pledged itself to defend it from
such a calamity. In this sign it con-
quered; for this reason, and for this
alone, did the people of the United
States consent to trust that party
again.
Concerning those who led the De-
mocracy into the road to inevitable
disaster we have nothing TO say in the
way of accusation or rebuke. We con
cede to them honesty of purpose and
courage of conviction, but they must re-
alize from the lesson of yesterday, as
well as from the result of the past di-
vergencies of the party from the
straight and narrow path that leads
to life, that the best political expe-
diency is that which adheres most
closely to sound political principles.
That is from ex-Secretary Hoke
Smiths paper, the Atlanta Journal. It
is well for him that he did not specify
what principles were proclaimed by the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-10
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Mr.. Bryan is the best judge of how
he should proceed in his future work
for the cause of bimetallism, and he
can be trusted 20 decide wisely But
there can be no doubt that he will re-
ceive much bad advice from some of
those most enthusiastic in support of
the reform movement The Herald ex-
poets to see him firmly, yet with his
customary discretion, set all injudicious
propositions aside.
That the late candidate for the pres
idency is to be a great power when
the campaign of education is renewed
is perfectly plain to all observers. He
is the leader Of leaders in this fight
and will WELD an influence far greater
than any other man can hope to exer-
else.
At the proper time, after the insult
ficiency of the proposals of the oppo-
sition shall have been demonstrated,
Mr.. Bryan can strike a series of
blows that will clear the field for a vic
torious campaign in 1898 and again in
1900 He may decide, if requested, to
deliver some abstract lectures on the
subject in the near future; but it is not
likely that he will determine to inaug-
urate a popular campaign at once
The people who have just voted the
Republicans into power-and a good
many Of those who are on the other
side-will desire to give the successful
party an opportunity to develop its
policy and show what it can do; and,
pending such trial, they would rather
resent renewal of the agitation by a
campaign in the field. All realize that
no change can be effected for d long
time, and very great many desire to
have business freed, as far as possible,
from disturbing conditions.
But, when it shall have been made
apparent that the promised benefits are
not to be fully realized-when it be-
comes plain to the people that the
measure of prosperity for which they
are striving and to which they feel
themselves entitled cannot be secured
through Republican policies-then Mr..
Bryan can appear in the field and be
certain of a warm welcome every
where. The people will be glad to
again give their attention to the truths
that he proclaims, and their minds will
be in a condition to receive and bene-
fit by them
