As SILVER DOLLARS.

In response to an inquiry from Silver
City the NEW MEXICAN states that the sill
yer dollar is not redeemable in gold; that
the government stamp and the legal ten
der character conferred upon it by law
are solely responsible for its acceptance
at 100 cents on the dollar. 1t seems al
most waste of time and space to refer
to the subject again, for the NEW MEx1.
oAN long ago stated the facts In the case,
but in order to place quietus on the alb
surd story, a favorite one with those gold
ties who take the plain people for set
of ignorants, we present the following:
In letter addressed to Senator Faulk-
ner, chairman of the Democratic congress
sional committee, on the 9th of August,
1896, Secretary Carlisle stated: $50 far as
/ have been able to ascertain, neither the
treasury department nor any sub-treas-
ury has ever been called upon to redeem
silver dollars in gold, and no such dollars
have, in fact, been redeemed in gold"
This statement from the head of the
treasury department. shows that the hold.
ers of silver certificates or silver dollars
have never entertained the opinion that
the contract on the face of the certificate
which expressly provides for their re-
demption in silver dollars should be con-
strued by the executive department as
entailing the holders to demand gold dol
lars.
The silver dollar is made by law le-
gal tender in payment of all debts, and in
the discharge of all obligations desig-
mated in the statute as "the standard
money of the country"
If further authority is needed, we may
add that so late as July 1, 1896, there was
issued, under authority of Mr.. Carlisle,
for the Information of the people of this
country, "treasnry circular No. 123," in
which the policy of the government and
the treasury department was announced,
over Mr.. Carlisle's own signature. In
this circular, on page 20, under the head
of Redemption he says:
"Gold coins and standard silver dollars,
being standard coins of the United States,
are not redeemable. Silver certificates
are receipts for standard silver dollars
deposited, and are redeemable in such
dollars only"

The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at its said meeting, all DEM
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in it's Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un.
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro-
posed territorial convention, if so it be
that they are chosen as representatives
at county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, it is
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be a fully
attended and memorable gathering Of
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizens of this territory, within the pur-
view of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
TO constitute said convention and in the
important work of the same.

and
Whereas, The date of the holding of

ing to fifty or more,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity in us SO vested, convention of the

The Next Delegate.

The Democratic territorial convention
will be held at Santa Fe on the 29th in
stant. This convention will have the
honor of naming the next delegate who
is to represent New Mexico in the con-
gress of the United States. New Mexico
has not exactly been without a delegate
for the past year and a half, but it can
not be denied that the territory would
have been better of had such been the
case. The next delegate will-enter con-
gress with the handicap of the bad i'm
preston created by the biped who now
draws salary of $1,000 year and milage
for the opportunity of giving his boys
life sinecures at public expense. The
next delegate will necessarily have to be
man of force, good address and of in.
domitable energy. The Democratic party
has just such man, and he will be nomi-
mated AID triumphantly elected.- d.-Ros-

PRESS COMMENT.
McHanna's HELPERS.

Mr.. Childers is Democrat but advised
the election of Mckinley as expedient
and in accordance with the demands of
the times. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Childers was delegate to the Indian
apolis convention and helped to nomi-
nate Palmer and Buckner, yet he now ad-
vises everyone to vote for Mckinley and
Hobart. He stands on higher plain of
honesty than common free silver Demo-
Gratis, yet like the other indianapolis
bolters proclaims bad faith toward his
own indianapolis nominees, thus proving
that Palmer and Buckner were placed be-
fore the people merely as stool pigeons
to catch fool Democrats.-Si City
