THE CASE BEGINNING TO BE UNDER
STOOD

The people Of the North are beginning
TO learn something OF the conditions in
the South that have caused the wide
spread demand in that section for the
free coinage OF silver. The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Journal
OF Commerce writes that paper, a few
days back that travellers through the
South and West say that there is no
doubt Of the intensity and sincerity OF
the feeling there in favor of the free
coinage OF silver. IL is too late 10 di-
vert this demand. GROWING OUT OF A
REAL SCARCITY OF CURRENCY rom

bolt OF the silver element at Chicago

Of a union silver party at the ST. Louis
convention. called by the Populists and
silver men for July o."
IL IS these words. growing out OF a
real scarcity Of currency" that We wish
TO call especial attention TO. The fact is
as this gentleman describes it. The war
left us Of the South with nothing but
our lands and farming stock. The ma
tional banking act makes It practically
impossible TO establish national banks
upon these as a basis. The few ma
tional banks that we have are located
in the commercial centres. and the mana
gers OF them do not know the country
people. and will. consequently. grant
them no accommodations. our people are
an agricultural people and the country IS
sparsely settled. The consequence is that
they are wholly without banking faclli-
ties. that they have no media OF ex-
change at ALL and that they are being
Slowly starved and ground 10 powder for
want OF some media with which to trans
act their affairs. This is the actual state
OF the case which the Northern and
Eastern people. who. by reason OF the
density OF their population. can get on
with the national banks, have eithAr been
ignorant OF or have chosen to ignore, II
they knew 1t. 1t Is this state Of the

case that has caused the universal de-

though free silver will no doubt be

thing IS done 10 take from her throat
the straneIing fingers Of the national
bank act and TO give her liberty to use
her resources IN her business ACCORDING
TO tho nature Of those resources ana
the demands Of that business. This Is
the naked truth, and the sentence We
have quoted from the Journal OF Com
nerce proves that intelligent northern
men are waking up to realization OF
it.
And they had Just as we'll understand
at once that they may c. ush free silver

May 1t not be from sheer weariness and

Magazine" With the exception Of an oc-
casional game at shuttlecock or kite fly
ing-only at fixed seasons-there are no
outdoor sports. The Chinese rarely walk
for pie asure. There is no social intercourse
between respectable men and women
There Is not sufficient house ROOM privacy
or light for reading after dark. How IL

WILL THE GOLD MEN BOLTS
The Leading Question of the Day q
ChicaxO.

The Leading Question of the Day at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 4.-The leading question
Of the day seems to be the query. "Will
the gold standard men bolt the convention
II silver platform is adopted"' As to
this particular question, Ex-Governor Ros-
well p. Flower said this morning to the
Associated Press representative: Il am
frank to say If an out and out silver plat
form is adopted the gold standard men, as
representing truly the democracy. should
leave the convention. believe that with
defeat or success OF a silver ticket 1t
means that the leaders in the movement
and the movement itself will be consigned
by the people to oblivion before a year
has past and the theory OF silver Ii
known by the masses"
Governor Flower was asked: will the
gold adherents nominate candidate in
together?'
Frankly, I don't think so. Ny own
belief Is that we will not be in the con-
vention when the roll is called for NOM
in the convention after the adoption OF
a silver plank.
Suppose a republican. Mr.. Teller. was
nominated, would that make the proposed
bolt any more pronounced?"
II dent believe that the democratic con-
vention will so so far as to name re-
publican, so l can't speculate on that is
sue"
Senator Hill was told of Governor Flow
er's views, but declined to subscribe to that
portion concerning the bolt He said: I'VE
have several days and things may change
materially, 80 that cannot say what our
action will be. No. don't think we will
have a candidate. Indeed. II a silver plat
form is adopted don't see how we could
make pretense Of placing candidate
Upon it,
John R. Fellows said: 1--WE ought to
leave the convention II the silver policy
prevails. That Is all 1 have to say
Mr.. Whitney said: "Will we bolt? Well, I
can't discuss that new. VIII we have a
candidate? I can't tell"
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Sheehan. New York's ma
tional committeeman. said: THE talk Of
bolting before the convention decides any,
thing is foolish. We will act after the
platform is adopted.
On the other hand, 1t has been determined
by some Of the anti-slver men to have
candidates placed in nomination for whom
they can vote. The gold standard men
think they have about $50 votes in the con-
vention. and they wish to have them hell
away from any silver candidate until some
definite arrangement can be made for max
Ing the force effective.
Ex-Gov. Pattison will be placed in nomi-
ration by Pennsylvania, and there Is some
talk that William E. Russell will receive
the Endorsement of the Massachusetts, dele
cation. There has been some suggestion
that VIM. c. Whitney should be the man
whom the gold democrats should unite on
There Is also some talk of placing Wm r,
Morrison in nomination, but the action Of
the gold men has not crystallized on any
line Of policy.
