The following in reference to the
action of the st. Louis convention
from the pen of Henry d. Lloyd will
prove of interest to readers;
"The solution of the parsdoxicsl &C
tion of the convention as to Democracy
and money was the craving for union
of reform forces which burned with all
the fires of hope and fear In the breasts
of the delegates, and oVercsme all their
academic differences of economic doc
trlne and all their old political preiu-
dices. The radicals had men who
were eager to raise the convention
against the qualification they thought
1t was perpetrating. If the issue had
been made there was an even chance,
good srithmeticians among the OBJ
servers thought, that the convention
could have been carried by them,
and a 'stslwsrt' ticket put into the
field on platform far In advance Of
that adopted In Omaha In l892-one
demanding, for instance, the public
ownership of all monopOlles. This
contingent felt that the social question
Is more than the silver question, and
the silver question more than the can
didscy of any one person. II the
money question was to be the Issue it
wanted it to be the whole money ques-
tion-the question how an honest dol
lar can be made instead of being
only stumbled on In plscers or bonsn-
zas, and how it can be made as elastic
as the creative will Of the people and
as expansive as civilization itself. Ger
tainly the strongest single body of be-
levers In the convention was that of

the currency. These men would have

tizatlon Of gold than the remonetlza-
tion of silver. That their strength
was formidsble-strong enough to have
split the convention near the middle,
If not to have carried it-no one could
deny who studied on the ground the
feelings and beliefs Of the delegates.
But those who might have called this
force into activity were quiescent, for
Colonel Norton's candidacy was un-
sought, impromptu and without or
gsnizstion. The leaders did not lead,
and their followers did not clamor to

Governor Wsite Of Colorado, whose
name will be cheered In an assembly
of labor men or Popullsts as the only
Governor who has called out the militia
to protect the worklngmen against Vio-

press his claims at the head Of con-
testing delegation from Colorado. Sem
stor PETER, who has shown an ample
courage in every emergency at Wasi-
ington, sat silent, though he was bit
terly opposed to the methods of the
managers. The fear ruled that unless
the reform forces united this time they
would never again have the oppOr-
tunity to unite. 1t was In the air that
there must be union. The football Of
the hour for action was heard approach
ing. 1t was a psychological moment
of rapprochement against an appall.
ing danger which for thirty years now
had been rising in the sky. If the rad
iCalS made q mistake, 1t was patri-
otic mistake. The delegates knew
perfectly we'll that the silver miners
were spending a great deal of money
and politics to get them to do Just what
they were doing They knew what the
Democrat politicians were doing with
the same object. They knew that with
some of their own politicians the snx-
lety to return to the old political home
was not dissssociated from visions of
possible fatted calf. But though they
knew all this, they went on by an over
whelmlng majority to do what the
mine owners and the Democrats and
the traders wanted them to do, and the
scquiescence of the mass of the party
in THAR action is now beyond question.
We can comprehend this better when
we see men like Edward Bellamy, the
head of the Nationslists, and Henry
George Of the Single Takers, and the
Rev. w. d. p. Bliss of the Christian
Socialists also taking the same atti-
tude and for precisely the same reason
that the real issue Is between men and
money In Bellsmy's phrase; and they
cannot afford to side with money
against men,"

juggle figures. Hundreds of papers,

create the impression that gold makes

the biggest fool engaged in this disrep-

Certainly wages are higher in Eng
land and the United States than In
China OF Japan, and Of right ought to
be, for the productive power of the
energetic Caucasian, with his improved
machinery, is ten-fold greater than
that of the puttering Mongolian with
his entediluVian devices. Every man
Versed in even the primary principles
of economics knows that the unit Of

more to do with its wage rate than the

We don't have TO 90 to Ricardo, or
Mill, or Montesqueiu for this infOrms-
tion-it Is only necessary to turn to the
latest Consular Reports, which any
man may obtain of his representative
in Congress, free of cost. If the gold
makes for high and the silver standard
for low wages, how comes it that gas
filters receive $14.50 week in Colon
bis and $1S in Venezuela, both silver
standard countries, and but $4.08 in
Germany and $3.40 in Italy, both on a

In pointing out that the wages are
higher In gold standard England and

President Cleveland win Recommend the
Retirement of Green6ackS and
Treasury Notes.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct PA Tribune
special from Washington says: President
Cleveland has begun work on his annual
message to Congress. Besides treating
the numerous matters which will come
before Congress the President expects to
be able to congratulate the country on the
triumph of soundmoney principles at the
general election. The President remains
so confident Of McKinley's election that
he thinks the question of probabilities un-
worthy of discussion.
A part of the message will be given up
to consideration of the financial ques-
ton. 1t is said the message will contain
a recommendation for the retirement of
the greenbacks and treasury notes and
that the President will declare himself
thoroughly of the opinion that this is the
only practical remedy for the financial
situation.
To accomplish this he may recommend
the issue of United States bonds at low
interest for long term of years.

the eve of matrimonial venture. The
wedding, it is said, will take place in San
Francisco about the middle of Novem ber
and the groom will be Walter Jones Of
'In Gay New York"
Miss Russell played here last week at
the New Century Theater. Mr.. Jones and
I'm Gay New York; followed this week.
The prima donna remained over one day
in order to meet him, and, so the story
goes, the matter was arranged. Miss Rus
sell desired that it be kept a secret. but
Mr.. Jones, indiscreet in his happiness,
told a fellow-actor, and then-well, OF
course, every one knew it to-day.
Mr.. Jones, when seeu this afternoon,
acknowledged that he was engaged to
marry Miss Russell. Asked about the date
of the wedding. he replied: ''Miss Rus
sell will arrange that, but it will probably
be in San Francisco in the middle of No
vember. We both play there about that
time."
Between the acts tonight Mr.. Jones
said that Miss Russell was not yet divorced
from Slgnor Perugini, but added :s'1 ex-
pect her to get-a divorce within week or
two, and then I'll have story for you
