The platform as agreed upon by the
sub committee of the resolutions COM
mittee at Chicago, is such declaration
as any pOpuist should be able to en-
dOrse. 1t is much broader than ex-
pected. 1t IS in fact the very essence
of populist principles, concretely ex.
pressed. 1t seems evident that it takes
up all the issues which at this time it
is wise to do, While there are several
other things we might suggest that ale
good and we need, such as government
ownership of railroads, the referendum
and postal savings banks, it is very
questionable whether at this time their
Incorporation would not weaken the
cause. Read the platform on the fifth
page. OF course it may be changed
but it is probable that this text will be
the democratic platform.

WE NOTICE that many populist lead

er should he be nominated, but are
shy of Bland. We can see no good
reason for this. Surely no one can
doubt his fidelity to silver. He has
been longer and more active in the
fight than any other man in the lower
House, aud We believe we may say
than any other man in Congress. BE
is poor man, a farmer who works IN
the fields with his hands, honest be-
yond question. He has opposed every
salary grab since he was in Congress
and even refused TO draw his money
on some Of them after the bill had
passed over his protest. The only
thing we know that the populists can
urge against him is that he did moi
come out of the democrats party, but
had he done that he would have
brought few with him, while by hold
ing on he is bringing most of his party
with him. The indications appear Il

charged he has no convictions. Woe,
woe to him who in these pursey times
has convictions They are property
which like horses he fain would give
to another but cannot. If the owner
keeps silent and attemptes to hide them
under bushel they steal up when he
is unawares and gnaw his conscience.
If he speak them openly and honestly,
he is no true politician but statesman
out ST a job. And if, like Ingalls,, he
speak them ano then deny it, he is
doubly damned. Poor painting Ingalls,!
He is the most melancholy and spectral
victim Of convictions extant. Curse
him not. His own party will do all of
that the occasion requires.

JOHN J. INGALLS, is about as much
Of political nOn-descript as Mary
Ellen Lease. During the republican
convention the New York Journal EN-
plOyed him at a large figure to write
his impressions of the convention in
daily letters. He did so. In his letters,
all of them, he showed and frequently
brandished the skinning knife he has
so frequently used upon some southern
cavalier, this time directed against the
eastern plutocrat" One of these let
tiers in particular, written when Teller
was marching out, eulOgizing his cour
age and his cause, stated in the
most emphatic terms that Mckinley
was a beaten, fallen hero, who under
no possible combination of circum-
stances could be elected. The Justly
celebrated brand of ingalls, vitriol
made its corrosive effect felt in every
line. The fountain of his vinegar was
furiously and awfully moved. His let
ter had the tone of the man with con-
viction terribly outraged, of a brave
man justly indignant and ready for
battle. 1t had the imprint of his in
dividuality, the polish Of his rhetoric,
and every attribute which criticism
would accord to the characteristic man
ingalls,. But he is a candidate for
United States senator with a goldbug
party. While good fragment of his
party is with him, it is not a large
enough piece to secure his election. He
has no hopes Of the silver forces taking
him up. Now Re denOunces this par.
ticular letter as forgery from date
to signature;" declares the publication
of the letter part of a plan to do him
up. Poor troubled and troublesome
ingalls,! Nobody should say he has nc
convictions. The trouble is when he

with it. He gets one about the time Of

The democratic convention now in
session at Chicago at this writing
is just getting down to business. The
gold standard national committee un-
seated the Bryan delegation and re-
ported Senator Hill for temporary
chairman. All this work the silver
convention promptly undid, electing
Senator Daniels of Virginia temporary
chairman and seating Bryan's delega-
tiOn as we'll as unseating part of the
Michigan delegation. Now they are
ready to adopt the platform and then
to nominate. On the resolutions each
side is to have an hour for debate then
they are to vote.

WOULD NILvER RISE.

In listening to an old gentleman the
other day from the East who is an ad-
Vocate of the gold standard, we heard
an argument which was in a large
measure new to uS, and one which has
upon the face of it the appearance OF
plausibility. 1t is therefore worthy Of
consideration and answer. The argu-
ment vas that with free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, foreign importer
could with his shipment of goods bring
silver bullion, coin it, and paw his i'm.
port duties with it, which he said,
would be equivalent to cutting the rev.
enue In two.
If you allow the hypothesis that sill
yer bullion after free coinage is adopted
will be worth the same that it is now,
this is correct. But everybody who
knows anything of the law Of supply
and demand knows that this would not
be true. Everyone will admit that the
demand for silver for coinage would
increase the price of bullion, the only
contention is in regard to the extent.
We believe it can be- practically dem.
Onstrated that it would be sufficient TO
bring it TO q parity with gold. The
very demand for speculation mentioned
in this argument would Of itself be
sufficient to greatly raise the price of
it, and when you come to add to that
the fact that 1t will be available as
money for the payment of all sorts of
debts, and for the purcha ie of all the
wide and extended range of products
of farm, field and factory, which
might be thrown onto the European
market in competition with the gold
standard prices, it appears very clear
to us that the demand for silver would
be fully equal to meet the best argu-
ment against its rise in price.
Starting with the assumption of the
above argument that silver would re-
main at its present price, the foreign
importer could not only pay his custom
house demands at fifty cents on the
dollar, but he could take bis fifty cents
worth of silver and buy a dollars
worth Of our products which he would
take back with him. How long could
such a snap last before competing mer-
chants would be bidding bullion, the
medium Of his speculation, up to where
there would be no profit in the trans
action. The continuance Of such spec
ulative performance would be cOntin-
gent only upon the supply of silver in
creasing in exact proportion to the de-
mand and nothing else could prevent
the rise in the price of silver save an
exhaustion of the supply of our pro-
ducts for foreign purchase, Most peo-
pie woald like at least to see an at.
tempt made at working such exhauS-
ton.
Owe do not mean to say that sill
yer would rise in value and pur-
chasing power 10 where gold is
now. If it did that there would be
little or no relief. But it would so en-
largo the supply of money that gold
would be cheapened and brought down
in value while silver rose to meet it.

EVIDENCE continues to accumulate
proving the business" propensities of
the present State administration.
When John Breldenthal moved the
bank commissioners office into the real
estate building about 5000 worth of
good carpet was taken from the vacated
floors and as he supposed packed away
for safe keeping pending his return.
When however be was ready to move
back and the matter of carpet was
brought up in the executive council the
good old grandmother governor had his
senses shocked by finding that others
than himself had thought they had
some claims upon the State property
for private use. The carpet was gone
and it was some time before it was To-
Gated in three pieces on the private
parlOrs of W. A. Thompson. bond clerk
in the treasurers office, N. G. Perry
man, guard in the treasurers Office and
Bruce BOrin, janitor. After this, as
we understand an entry, was made al
lowing some sixty dollars to the State
for the carpet. Altogether the pieces
cost 5000 and had been used very little.
But this is business" We do not pre-
tend to say there were no Jobs" or
steals under dwellings appointees, but
we acknowledge and admi. that at least
when the various records are all
summed and averaged up, the Lewell-
ing administration is a little behind
10 this sort of business.

that Notwithstanding the national plat
