GOLD IN THE PLATFORM.


For years. since specie resumption. the
United States has been upon a gold
basis. From 1894 until the suspension of
specie payments in December, 1861. the
United States was upon gold basis. From
December. 1861. to December. 1873, the coun-
try was upon fiuctuating paper basis.
There is not a well-informed silverite. not
even a Populist, who has not been saying
for years that gold is the basis of our
monetary system. Like France, the United
States has supplemented its gold by the use
Of as much full legal-tender silver as is pos
sible without going TO a silver basis. Both
France and the United States keep in cir
culation larger amount Of silver per capi a
than does any country the silver basis.
In view Of these facts. the insertion of
the word gold in the phrase of the In
diana platform, ''the present standard"
would not change any part OF history, or
the aim and purpose of the declaration.
AS the present standard Ii a gold one, and
Is known to be a gold one. and as the
purpose of the advocates Of free coin
age is to change the basis from gold to
SHNcT, the JOURNAL IdllS 10 see tnat good
purpose can be served by refusing to in
sert the word gold in the sentence. Its
insertion would simply make clearer
the contrast between the purpose of
those who favor the retention of the pres
ent gold basis and the purpose of those
who seek to substitute a silver basis. 1t
Is expected that the silverites will dodge.
They Will not put into their platform the
statement that it is their purpose to put
the country on a silver basis, yet before
three months every man of fair intelM-
gence will know that such is their intent,
and that such would be the result of their
16-to-1 declaration. The insertion of the
word gold after the word present" in
the Indiana plank, making 1t read 1.-The
present gold standard" would not only put
the Republicans where they cannot be ac-
cused Of trying to straddle, but where they
could charge upon the free-silver Democ-
racy that they dared not put silver basis
in their platform. thus covering up their
real purpose.

Associated Press Dispatch.
ST. LOUIS. June l5.-There was very
lively scene In Mr.. Hanna's room this
morning when Henry Cabot Lodge. OF Bos-
tor. called upon him TO discuss the finan-
cial plank to be put into the platform. Mr..
Lodge in his forceful way announced his
purpose to have a gold plank or TO over
throw Mr.. Hanna's plans 1t was not the
desire of Mr.. Lodge to have a gold plank
that angered Mr.. Hanna but the manner
In which 1t was presented. and he pro-
ceeded TO notify Mr.. Lodge in no uncertain
way that he could not be forced. and that
he could not talk with Mr.. Lodge on the
subject.
IF you own this convention. Mr.. Lodge"
! shall not talk with you," and Mr.. Lodge
left the room.
Later in the day Senator Lodge said that
he considered the battle as won We have
been actively at work" he said. 'and have
received so many assurances that we can
not longer doubt the success OF our move
ment. The Eastern States are all coming

Bad MIssOURfANs.
The Filley-Kerens Fight Leads to the
Drawing Of a Knife.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The bad blood be-
tween the Filley and Kerens factions in
the Missouri delegation developed bloody
turn after the delegation had been in ses-
sion an hour and half in Room 2lS at the
Southern Hotel. Mayor p. d. Hastain, OF
Sedalia, drew a knife on alternate Berry
in the ante-room. but was seized and pre-
vented from making personal attack
The Kerens faction had been outvoting the
Filley people on several issues raised
After a test vote on q proposition 10 post
pone the selection of a national commit
teeman until the contest from Missouri
had been passed on, Mr.. Berry made a
sighting remark regarding Missouri's ''old
man." Berry was on his feet instantly and
made sharp personal attack on Hastain.
The latter, pale as death at the words flung
at him by Berry. drew from his pocket a
knife, which warned the other committee
men that it was time for them TO act. and
they pushed in between the angry faction
lists, separated them and the light was over
for the present.
Mayor Hastain was hurried away after
the row by his friends. who assert that
II was not knife in Hastain's hand but
a silver match safe. whose glitter startled
the crowd and excited the cry of knife"
The delegation finally organized with
Maj William Warner chairman and
George A. Purdy as secretary. The follow
ing selections were then made: National
committeeman, Richard c. Kerens; plat
form committee, F. NJ Niedringhaus; cre-
dentials committee. John l.. Bittinger: per-
manent organization committee, Samuel

An evening paper says that the fact that
Governor Matthews called upon Senator
Tillman on Sunday Is criticised by some of
his party. 1t should not be. Is not Gov
ernor Matthews seeking delegates. and Is
not Tillman a delegate. or. rather. Is he
not twenty-five delegates from South Caro-
Ina to the Democratic national conven-
ton? Certainly he Is. and a twenty-five
vote man Is courted. even IL he has de-
noonced the Democratic President and
every member Of his Cabinet as thieves.
Governor Matthews knows what he is
about ia calling upon Tillman. or thinks he
does. He Is anxious TO win the support OF
the most ultra silverite in the country-one
who Is sIlverlte even IL he marches out
OF the national convention to assert his

EITHER A GOLD OR SILVER STAND
ARD.

Every intelligent man who has candidly
considered the money question in the light
OF experience must know that until the
leading nations shall fix a ratio for the
coinage Of the two metals practical bimet-
allism is an impossibility in this country.
Either gold must be the standard, as it
now is. or silver will be. 1t has always
been so; 1t will always be so. The ques-
ton. then. before the country is, Shall We
continue the present monetary system, or
shall we change to a silver basis? If there
should be a decision In favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /,
the country would at once go to silver
basis. No intelligent and candid advocate
of 16 to 1 will deny that such would be
the result. On the contrary, several Of the
leading advocates of silver have frankly
asserted that such would be the result
All the claims that higher prices VIII re-
suit from the free coinage of silver are
based upon the assumption that the coun-
try would pass to the silver standard and
values would be measured by the worth
Of the silver in silver dollars
1t is better to have the question decided
now. Year after year of uncertainty Incl
dent to the agitation of a change of stand
ards will paralyze business and industry.
A terrible panic would follow the change,
causing a financial revulsion which would
bring all the large industries to stand
still. but after two or three years of uni
versal distress the country would begin to
adjust itself to the new conditions.
If the decision shall be in favor of the
present standard which insures the larg-
est volume of money possible, business and
industry would begin TO revive. because
confidence would return. This decision.
with the certainty of a protective tariff
which would put end to the importation
of merchandise made by the cheaper labor
of Europe and Asia, would at once quicken
the business of the country without panic
and two or three years to recover from it..
In this connection 1t may be noted that
the most notable era of prosperity and de-
velopment which any country ever saw
came with the resumption of specie pay
mcnts in 1879 on the present basis, namely,
gold, with as much silver as could be kept
on parity with ii. Let US turn to the
census of 1880 and 1890. and other official
statistics. for the verification of this state
