THE SOUND-MONEY DEMOCRATS.

indianapolis will gladly entertain the
Democratic sound-money convention if it
shall be decided to hold it here. 1t will not
be a mob convention, but an ~assemblage of
business men and party leaders whose
visits would at any time be welcome. This
city could not offer frst-class hotel ac-
commodations to the army of people who
flock to the ordinary national political con-
%vention. but this gathering will. in the
nature of the case, attract hundreds where
the one at Chicago drew thousands. All
who are likely to come can be comfortably
Theater will answer requirements as to a
place of meeting. while the hotels will be
equal to ell demands. The fact that il will
not be accompanied by a heterogeneous
mob by no means indicates that it's action
will be unimportant or regarded with slight
interest. On the contrary. its proceedings
will be significant and closely observed by
the public and all classes of politicians.
It's purpose being clearly defined in adj
vance. however. and no uncertainties con-
nected with it. the camp-follower element
will nave no motive for being present. 1t
will meet to transact business previously
outlined. and will probably dispatch the
business promptly. It's influence will help
to strengthen the sound-money sentiment
in Indiana, and for this reason. if no other.
it would be well TO use every effort to
bring the convention here.

never by debasing the currency or lower

out Of employment have been compelled to
draw on their savings bank deposits for the
support of their families. The money they
have thus drawn out has been the equiva-

all our currency would be measured by the
silver instead of the gold standard. and
IL w-orkingmen checked on their savings
they would be paid in Scent dollars. AS
these dollars would have but little more
than half the purchasing power Of a gold
dollar they could not buy nearly as much.
and thus farmers and other producers
would suffer. But the farmer would suffer
more directly, for while his products might
advance somewhat in price the money he
received for them would have only about
half the purchasing power of that which
he now receives. and he would have to
pay nearly double rates for all he bought.
1t is a great mistake to think that the
situation could not be any worse. The
process of getting to a silver basis would
make IL vastly worse.

ton 10 reduce the public debt. which a
portion Of the Democratic party now pro-
poses to repudiate.
In 1892 the people were promised tariff re-
form. the possession Of the markets of the
world, $1.25 wheat and far better times
they would restore the Democratic party
in power. The gifted and man~y-tongued
Turpie. who presided over the Democratic
State convention tina year. said. in his
opening speech:
This convention means the immediate re-
duction of the ratio of tariff taxation and
the reimbursement of those ratios so that
the public burdens shall not be imposed
upon the daily necessities Of men. but shall
be borne in some degree by their wealth
and ability to pay those liabilities. 1t means
that the laborer, the mechanic, the miner,
every man, shall possess and enjoy his W
earnings. shall not be compelled by law to
share them with the ruthless banditti of
the tariff trusts and combines. 1t means
the farmer. who has tiled his own acres
year after year, shall no longer be COM
PEELED 10 share his crop with the favored
and protected monopolist.
Hon. Claude Matthews. in accepting the
nomination for Governor that year. said:
We will attack the Infamous measures of
the Republican party in whole and in part.
We will attack that Fraudulent cry of
simply as protection to trusts and working
up new and other fields Tor trust-protected
goods. We will suDplant 1t with a great
worldwide reciprocity. We Will whiten the
seas with the sails of our own vessels and
unfurl the flag of our country in the mar
kets of the world.
This commercial millennium and a condi-
ton of universal prosperity was to be the
result of Democratic success in 1882. The
people were foolish enough to believe these
rosy promises, and the party making them
was once more intrusted with power. The
result is history. The promised commercial
millennium has not come. The sails of our
ships have not whitened the seas in a new
and larger reciprocity. Farmers have not
had s1.25 wheat. Labor has not been better
paid. Trusts and combines nave been
more aggressive and rapacious than ever.
In short. all the Democratic promises of
1892 nave failed.
Now comes the same old party by it's
national convention and. taking the people
upon a high mountain, offers them all the
kingdoms of the earth if they will fall down
