WHY WALLACE WENT OUT.
Democratic Committeeman Resigns BE-
cause of Bryan's Platform.

In resigning from the Democratic ma
tional committee, Hon. Hugh Q. Wal
lace of Washington wrote to Chairman
Jones:
To enact free coinage at l6 TO would
be TO overvalue silver by nearly one
half. The consequences of such change
would be catastrophe. Such violent
alteration of contracts and credits, Of
debts and values, carrying with it re-
duction Of the purchasing power of
wages, could not take place without
general disaster The mere thought Of
the consequences of such transfer of our
money from one metal TO the other,
upon ratio so false, cannot be enter.
tanned without deepest alarm.
Results of the change of standard.
thus forced, would be Reputation, pure
and simple. Hostility to property is
made the basis of this appeal 10 the peo-
pie. Moreover, the Chicago Platform
proposes 90 abolish the Democratic and
constitutional right of private contract.
by declaring that no one shall stipulato
to pay ia present standard money. *ss
From the disorders that would attend
the loss Of the present STANDARD shrink
with apprehension and alarm, and |
must, as "a Democrat, condemn that de.
partpre fron the principles aud practice
Of the party which threatens so dire -
result.

administration.

The Boy Mayor OF woonsocket Demo
craft has acted sensibly but inconsis-
tently.
lie has taken violent stand in favor
of protection.
A sewer contractor hired alot Of men
from out of town 10 work on his con-
tract while many woonsocket men are
out of Job. whereupon the Boy Mayor
(Democratj addr essed a communication
to the contractor, calling his attention to
the condition of the workmen at nome
and their just claim for work, based on
their place OF abode, in preference TO out
siders. And yet 1t is probable that nine
tenths of the people who are protesting
against the action OF this contractor, in
cluding the. Boy Mayor (Democrat) him
self, voted the Democratic ticket in 1892
because they were opposed to protection,
otherwise called "McKINLEYIsM."
The NEWS respectfully calls the at
tention of the workmen t, the protest of
the Boy Mayor, with the suggestion that
what is true with reference to the labor
question in woonsocket is true Of every
place in the country, and true respecting
every industry.
The issue is whether foreign labor at
inferior price shall De brought into cornue-
:ition with the labor OF our own people.
Here is sn opportunity TO study the free
trade theory and apply it in practice.
The contractor in question is dong this
and the Democracy Is the first to
"squeaL" Which shows that the
Democracy is ipsincere or does not know
what it is talking about.
Bot then election time Is approaching
and it may bo that the Boy Mayor (Dem-
ocrat), like the Boy Orator (Dem. Pop.),
is merely foxy.
In our own city, however, Mayor Nc
GUINNESS stands firm on the issue Of
"ro expectoration '' and does not have
to bother himself with minor reforms.

Bryan's Ignorance.

An allusion made by Mr.. Bryan to
France is noteworthy. The Democratic
candidate says that the Bank of France
reserves to itself the right of paying its
notes in either gold or silver, and, for
all that, he adds, gold and silver have
the same value in France. Mr.. Bryan
omitted to say that If the French franc
piece has value equal to that of gold
it is because, since 1878, franc pieces
are no longer coined in France. Itwould
be impossible 20 do in Paris that which
Mr.. Bryan would like TO see done in
Washington. One cannot bring 10 tho
mint pieces OF silver worth 2 francs 90
centimes and have them transformed
into franc pieces. Bimetallism exists
in name only in France. In reality gold
is the only metal that the public can
get coined in the French mints -Cou.

not the Case. The strip OF land is wanted
