Cutting Off Their Own Noses.

1t now seems tnat, since the SOluDuSS
Of Wall street have succeeded in seating
| their candidate in the presidential
chair, they will endeavor to punish
those States which rolled up handsome
maiorities for Mr.. Bryan in the recent
| election.
An idea of the sentiment existing
| may be imagined from the following ar
ticle which appeared a few days ago in
] the Wall Street Daily News:
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
States which in the last election support
ed Bryan, free silv,r, and reputation of
honest obligations, will have hard time
of it in floating new securities or ne
gotiating loans in New York or for that
matter in any part of the East. The Chi
cago platform and the people who sup
ported it have given capital shock from
which it will take long time to recover.
Reputation, as advocated by the States
giving their full vote and support 20
Bryan, is sufficient to deter capital from
in any way becoming financially interest
ed in them, and henceforth they had bet
ter give New York the ''go by" when
money is wanted. We know of no con-
certed movement to boycott the securi-
ties of the Bryan States, but from con-
versation with leading bankers and brok-
ers we do know that n bitter feeling Of
antagonism prevails, and the disposition
is general to have nothing to do with
them.
This may seem like a terrorizing
threat in the eyes of Wall street, but
a careful study of the census of 1890
showing the estimated wealth of the
various States Will convince anyone
that the dog will wag the tail, and not
the tail the dog, as the financial inter-
ests of Wall street think.
Even the threat of such movement
would encourage the combination of all
the capital west of the Alleghenies in
building up all sorts of manufacturing
industries now patronized in the East,
and, instead of the West being boycott
ted by the East, the East would be boy
cotted by the West.
1t would simply prove to be case of
cutting off their own noses to spite
themselves They fail to recognize the
fact that there is vast population
growing up in the far West, and that
the deciding power of the electoral col
lege no longer remains in the Middle
States.
A fair example Of the outcome is to
be found in the growth of the paper in
dustry in the West. A few years ago
the East sold its news and book paper
as far West as the Pacific coast; now it
is hard to sell it in Chicago.
In n few words. Wall street may rule
Wall street, but Wall street cannot and
shall not dictate 20 the 7O,0OO.00O people
of this grand land Of freedom. They
may squeeze the American eagle (the
gold dollar) until the last dollar has left
the treasury, but they cannot fool all
the American people all the time.

Let Republicans Consider,

When Congress is asked to enter on
reckless legislative methods, simply for
the purpose of annoying the Democratic
party and showing the alleged superb
Ority of the Republicans, let them con-
slider that the numerical strength of
both parties at the last election was
so evenly balanced in the entire nation
that if one man out of every fifty had
changed his opinion the big popular ma
jority over which the Ohio majors sup
porters crow so much would have been
wiped out of existence.
In addition, let Congressman remem-
ber that the abuse heaped at the Demo-
cratic party in it's platform during the
late campaign, and even to-day, is un-
adulterated misapprehensiono of a most
reckless character. The mere fact that
the declarations put forth by the Chi
cago convention received the indorse-
ment of nearly one-half the voters, in
the face of an exercise of the corporate
wealth of the country on the other side
such as was never seen before, ought
to convince them that the vituperation
was unjustifiable and that it will be ad-
visable to treat these declarations with
a great deal of serious consideration.
Let them take the plankS Of the last
Democratic platform one after another
and let them try to study them as a
guide and warning, for they will find
nothing there that needs to be recalled
and apologiZed for by those who framed
them. There may have been mistakes
of policy, but the principles are all
right when rightly and reasonably in
terpreted.
There is declaration against return
ing to the Mckinley tariff which was
voted down so emphatically in two sue
cessive elections, and there Is also a
declaration that the best way of pro-
tecting American labor Is to prevent
the Importation of foreign pauper labor
to compete with it. 1t will be an evil
day for the Republicans on which they
ignore the truth Of these two PROPOSE
tionS.

omy in Government expenditures. 1t is
against the extravaganza that tries to
conceal itself under the cloak Of patri-
otism-using the noblest sentiments OF
the nation to hide the rapacity Of mo-
nopolists and contractors. Its declara-
ton against government by injunc-
tion" is very much akin to the forego-
Ing. 1t has been denounced as being
anarchistic, but it is in truth nothing
more than a protest against the public
authorities acting as the catspaws of
che big corporations.
These are great questions and entirely
worthy Of the most serious, most re-
spectful treatment. If those who be-
lieve them to be the most important
now at issue are treated contemptu-
ously and reviled, those who are guilty
thereof will surely meet their proper
punishment.

THE LOCATION QUESTION
tSt. Louis Repnhlie1

tSt L0uis Repuhllel
 It is gratifying to note that !Senator Jones, of Arkansas, em- phatieally corrects the impression that, despite the Bland instructions of his State convention, he is trying to defeat the Mis- sourian.
 Senator Jones is man of great ability and strength of character. He is in the front rank of silver leaders and his detection would have been a serious loss to Mr. Bland's strength, not only because of the great influence he yields in the dominant element at Chicago, but through the force of example.
 The Arkansas Senator is too honorable man to lightly disregard the will of his constituents, and he is too wise not to see the possible damage to his own cause in thrust ing aside instructions. Ifinstruc- tions for candidates can be disregard ed, why not platform instructions? But the public correction of the : rumor that Jones is unfriendly to Mir. Bland or sees any reason for discouraging his candidacy will have beneficial effect upon the Bland campaign. The alleged cause of the opposition of Senator Jones and others was the question of location, the only objection that has been brought against the nomination of Mr. Bland should the convention adopt the platform he so thoroughly represents.
 To further strengthen the effect of Senator Jones denial comes the testimony of Senator Martin and the Honorable David Overmyer, two of the best posted Democrats in Kansas, who say that the most acceptable man and the man most likely to carry Kansas and Nebraska is Mr, Bland.
 The elements to be dealt with in Kansas are the clements to be con sidered in all of the West and North west Republican States, and if Bland can carry Kansas aud Nebraska he is as certain to carry the entire Northwest as any free silver man that can be named.
 The fact is, everyone who knows Mr Bland and the foundation of his strength knows that he would help a 16 to l platform in every part of the country.

IT is very apparent that the free silver men will have an overwhelm- ing majority, in fact, almost two thirds of the Chicago convention. But the free silver leaders should use their majority conservatively; there should be no Democrats to in- suit or estrange from the ticket to be nominated at Chicago. To be conciliatory to the minority does not involve any sacrifice of prinei- pie. It would not do to be too rad ical or extreme. Old precedents and practices should not be ruth lessly violated and set at defiance.
 Former customs and rules which have prevailed in National Demo cratic conventions for the last quar- ter of a century in the selection of a temporary chairman and the other machinery of the convention should
 be observed. The free silver lead CTS should remember that in times
 long gone by when the black clouds of Repubicanism threateningly overhung and menaced the liberties of the South, it was the Democrats of the East who stood by and pro teeted them. IL was the Democrats of the East, with the votes from the South, who more than once defeated Federal Force bill; it was the Dem ocrats of the East who voted for the repeal of the odious Federal election

laws; it was the Democrats Of the East who voted for tariff reform; and. finally, it was the Democrats of the East who elected Samuel J. Til den and Grover Cleveland Presi- dents Of the United States And, when the former was fraudulently swindled out of the position, it was the Democrats of the East who joined the Democrats of the South in a vehement protest. The Demo- cratic party should be a National, and not a sectional party. The South has always in the past protested against sectionalism; now, when sectionalism is dead, the Democrats of the South should not be the first to revive it. Therefore, we hope to see the National Democratic Con vention at Chicago unify and solidi- fy the Democrats of the Nation We have no Democrats to kill, drive out of the party or estrange. Conei.ia- tory tactics at Chicago will unite the party and presage a glorious Democratic victory in November. Division and radicalism will imper- il Democratic success at the very outset.

Senator Teller has declared for Bland, and the Kansas aud Ne braska delegations have declared that Bland can carry their States aud will probably vote for him on first ballot. It is also believed that Illinois will support Bland on the first ballot, and from the present state of public sentiment at Chicago, as reflected by the press, 1t seems that Bland will be the nominee.

THE CHICAGO c0NTEN TI0N.

TIE CYTCdGO CONVENTION.
 Not one delegate at Chicago, or any union of delegates there, can tell what will be the result of that convention. The result of MT. Whit ney's commission, or what that com mission is, or whether it is Q com mission, or an individual movement, is equally an unknown quality.
 Who will be the nominee, and the cardinal line of the platform is like wise equally shfoaded in darkness.
 Seemingly the latter will be for free silver, without reference to any foreign agency, at 3 ratio of l6 to l.
 This fixed, the nominee is in such a groove of doubt that he car not be safely named; in fact, it is so doubt full as to who he is that any sport could bet pennies or pounds that no other sport could name him at two simultaneous guesses. That is, one man would say will wager that the nominee will be either Bland or Boies, his opponent could safely ac- cept the wager and rest assured that the odds were not against him.
 This would not be so as to the platform.
 But there is a grander idea relat- ing to these views than these divis- ions of thought. Let the nominee or the platform be what it may, if Democratic, the whole party should stand by it, whether gold or silver, and no question should be raised as to gold or silver when the Chicago convention has once passed upon the issue and upon the nominee.
 We contend that the Democratic party is too large to be controlled by one issue, that are many other conflicts between it and the other claimants of public patronage, such  as tariff, direct tax, the income tax, the franchise as a subject of Federal control as against the powers of the State; but between the gold adyo- eates and the silver advocates in the Democratic party there is no issue on these qustions.
 We honestly think, measured by all the surroundings, that bimetall- ism secured through the consent ei the leading nations interested in it is the better policy, but if the Dem ocratic party in convention decide on unit action of our own party rule, we are Democratic enough to yield our views and go with the majority and abide by its decision. It will be but few days before the question of platform and nomina- tion will be settled, and it will be fairly settled, and we promise in ad- vance to cordially and earnestly support that conclusion.
