SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration Of principles:
/. The paramount issue at this time
10 the United States is in1lsputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank cur
rency on one side, and the bimetallic
standard, no bonds and government ur-
rency on the other. On this issue We de-
clare ourselves to be in favor OF a dis
tinctiveiy American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard aud demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard OF gold
and silver by restoration by this govern
ment, Independently Of any foreign pow

should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
! and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States Of interest bearing bonds
in time OF peace, and we denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
! publican house, of ~plunglng the country
in debt by hundreds of millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and We demand the
payment Of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option OF the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
2. That over and above all other CUES
tons OF policy, we are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people Of the United States
the time honored money Of the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money Of Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe, Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
Pile may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples of the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold aud sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone canno overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people Of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other cues
tions, however important and even mo.
mentous they may appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and affiilia-
tions, and unite in ore supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has aver been fastened upon civilized
man Of any race or in any age. And
| upon the coEsummation Of u desires
and efforts we invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

The August report OF the bureau OF
statistics affords ample explanation Of
the large sums Of gold now coming TO us
from Europe, the balance OF exports and
imports for the last eight months, on the
items of merchandise, gold, silver and
precious ores showing a balance of 1885,
100000 to the credit Of this country. The
volume OF exports of merchandise from
the United States in August was S68,.
652,G61 and the volume for the eight
months ending with August was $780,
9S2, 453. The corresponding figures for
1895 were So, 950,6l9 for August and
sI99, 1887 ,403 for the eight months. An
excess OF imports for the same periods
last year was thus turned into an excess
Of exports of::sl9, 1912 for the moths and
slO9, 7GO,Ol9 for eight months Of this
year. The exports OF silver coin and
bullion showed an excess OF one million
dollars for August and over six millions
for the eight months over the same
periods last year.

low figures made him considerable OF @
target for several weeks, but when the
machines got to york his estimate was
found to be rather over than under the
actual yield. In Indiana. Illinois and
other middle eastern states he de-
clares that large acreages OF wheat have
spoiled and even rotted In shock and
stack.
Because Of this manifest shortage and
the continued and reliable activity in
exports, Mr.. Mcdonald takes the ground
that wheat is bound to materially ad,
vance between this time and spring. The
advance Of the past ten days, about five
cents per bushel, he believes will be
permanent, and that prices will gradu,
ally creep up until they get to the old.
time notch. The farmer who can hold
his wheat, he says, will yet realize very
handsomely.

San Francisco's Chances as
Against Chicago to Be Much
Improved.
AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.
1t Is Expected to Put the Commodity
Schedule Into Effect on the
Twentieth.

In accordance with the understanding
arrived at during the recent meeting of the
trans Missouri lines at Denver the South
ern Pacific Company las prepared new
schedule of commodity rates into Utah
based, as were the class rates published
some days ago, on rs per cent of the rate
from Omaha into that State.
Before the new deal the rates from San
francisco to Utah terminals were $50 per
cent OF the Omaha q tab rate, and the pro-
posed rates are, therefore, 1913 per cent
less than they would have been under the
old agreement, and gives San Francisco
and Cali fornia a much better opportunity
for doing business in Utah than was ever
before offered, particularly as against Chi
cago, which is the chief and most impor-
tant competitor of San Francisco.
While the class rates have been an.
nounced to 60 into effect on the 18th inst.
it is expected that the commodity rates
will not be put in until the Goth, though an
effort will be made to put the latter in at
the same time as the class rates.
Herewith are given some of the princi-
pal new commodity carload rates from
San Francisco to Ogden and Utah COM
mon points in comparison with the rates
from Chicago into the same territory, the
figures showing the rates in cents per 100
pounds:

OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE.
A Frail Young Woman Ends Her Career
Either by Accident or
Design.

Flossie Hamilton, a woman of the
world, was found dead in her room, 319
Suffer street, yesterday morning. Death
was due to an overdose OF morphine, but
it is question whether it was taken with
suicidal intent.
There are some who claim that the wo-
man was a victim of insomnia and used
the drug as a promoter of sleep. They
claim that she incautiously took an over
Dose
The dead girl was known as Flossie
Hamilton, alias Ellen Farrell. She came
here May 9 from Honolulu under the last
name. Her companion, Miss Merson, 123
Powell street. claims that Flossie was
married, but had left her husband on ac-
count of some domestic trouble.
The elevator boy OF the house said that
the deceased had been drinking heavily
and that she was intoxicated on Sunday
evening. A note reading as follows was
found in her room:
Send me ole bottle Of morphine and
charge same to my account.
FLossIE HAMILTON.
The body was discovered about O'Clock
yesterday morning by Mrs. Dougherty,
the landlady. From letters found in her
room it was shown that her parents reside
in Boston and that she was well connected
there. She is said to have a husband in
Honolulu
