THE GRAY AND THE BLUE

The consensus OF opinion on the part
OF the newspapers of the South Is that
inasmuch as some objections have been
raised by certain Grand Army posts
to the Joint parade of the Gray and the
Blue In New York on the 4th OF July
next, that the men who wore the gray
should have nothing further to do with
the affair, and this is right. Since
the parade cannot be one Of unaninity
1t had better by far be abandoned en-
tirely.

cAMros SOMEWHAT A PROPHET

In the light of passing events, Gen.
Campos. the late Governor General of
Cuba, Is presented somewhat as n
prophet. 1t Will be remembered that
when the Madrid Government was press
ing Campos to inauGurate reign OF
terror In dealing with the Cubans as
Il means of speedily crushing the re-
bellion, that official protested and
Informed the home Government that
such policy would have a bad effect,
In that 1t would arouse public senti-
ment In the United States against
Spain. which in the end might be hurt
full to her cause.
Inc old General had made n study of
the temper of the people of the United
states In relation to tho trea tment of
the Cubans by the Mother Country. and
being convinced that to adopt the policy
demanded of him by Spain meant sim
ply to invite Intervention from the
United States and possibly worse
lie preferred 10 give up his
command. and so Informed the
Government at Madrid. The re-
suit OF this was that Canlpos was re-
called and General Weyler. "the butch
en-" was sent out to succeed him.
In due time Weyler arrived on tho
island and at once proceededI to carry
out the policy which Campos declined.
His coming filled the people with ter
ror. and despite denals TO the contrary,
1t is known that more than one victim
No. ,.i,
OF a supposed sympathy for the strug-
Cling patriots was entertained by them
The torch and sword have been his chief
weapons and none who have come in
his way have escaped his brutality
General Weyler's conduct since assum-
Ing command in Havana has driven
thousands of people. heretofore only
sympathzers with the patriots, to ac-
tive fighting for the cause. They say
that there is 10 safety in the island for
a Cuban unless he is an active sup
porter of the Crcwn-that there is no
such 4 thing as being q passive locker
on-that those who do not espouse the
Spanish cause are daily being arrested
on trumped up charges and thrown into
prison, and under this condition of af-
fairs thousands are fleeing to the army
of the patriots. In fact a reign of terror
has been inaugurated throughout the
island since Weyler's arrival, and just
what Campos predicted has come to pass
namely, the United States has come
in The field.
The action of Congress in pass
ing resolutions calling upon Pres
ident Cleveland to accord the Cubans
belligercnt rights is the first step in
that direction. and no one doubts that
this action will be supplemented IL
the necessities of the case demands 1t.

OPPOSE CHEAP MONEY.
The Building Associations Pass Resolu-
tions on tae Money Question.

At the annual meeting of the United
States League of Local Building Associa-
tons held in Philadelphia, July %. the
following resolution on the money aues-
ton was adopted:
The United States League of Local
Building and Loan Associations, in con-
vention assembled, declares: 1. That il is
the sense of this meeting that the interest
of all shareholders of building and loan
associations in the United States de-
mands that the present standard of value
upon which our monetary system has
been based since the resumption of specie
payments in 1878 shall remain unchanged
and inviolate. ,. That we believe that
the interest of every class in the COM
munity, and especially those of the great
wage-earning class, imperatively de-
mands that the present standard of yahue
whether coin or paper, shall be equal i'm
value to every other. 3. That patriotism
demands that the dollar bearing the
mint mark of the United States shall be-
the equal of the dollar of the most ad-
vanced nations and entitled 10 full faith
and credit all over the world; and TO
that end il must be maintained free from
all suspicion, debasement, or reputation.

Senator Palmer Out,

Springfield, IL, July y. Senator John
NJ. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of ~ Democrats
in this ~CSangamon) county who viii not
support the ticket. and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
NO Democrat. SO far as l have been
informed, will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan is
that the Democrats of Illinois, in CO.
operation with Democrats of other states,
call u convention aud nominate candi-
dates. l favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
cratic organization"
Having thus stated his views as to the
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought ;here
was any danger to be expected from the
silver movement. he replied:
Not a particle. Mr.. Bryan will re-
ceive the support of the semi opulists,
called Democrats, the real Populists who
are soon to hold a convention IN St,
Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but whC

What has been said about the merits
of the question in a philosophical sense
is plain and seems sound, but may there
not be other reasons why silver should
be coined az the ratio OF l6 20 I?
What other reasons can there be?
Well. such reasons as those given with
respect TO the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
Ii is said that the country for the past
twenty years has been gradually getting
into the hands of what is called the cretf
itor class, which is alleged 10 be a very
small proportion of the population. while
the great majority nave fallen into the
debtor class and into the absolute con-
troll of the others. Now il is alleged that
these creditors, as a rule, are harsh and.
practically owning the majority of the
people and able to dictate 10 them, are
sucking what is called the life blood
out of the country.
Who are these terrible creditors who
are doing this? Name a single class.
Well, the bankers and money lenders.
for instance; the money power" as il is
called.
Then the country is gradually getting
into the hands of a class of which the
bankers are the representatives, and
these vampires" are sucking the 'life
blood" out of the country, crushing the
energy out of the people and ensla wing
them. That is the argument then, Is it3
Well, you are from Rockford, III. Let
us take the situation right in Rockford.

about the terrible class of creditors he

as in any other place in the country, and

EDITOR DANA'S ADVICE.
Democrats Should Vote for Mckin-
ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
ciple to Party.

New York Sun: The political reasons
for not putting up an honest-mouey can
didate this year on n genuinely Demo
cratic platform are strong and obvious.
The nomination of another Democratic
candidate would contribute TO the per-
sonal comfort of Democrats who are re-
luctant TO vote for Mr.. Mckinley, but
il would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for a principle only
would surely imperil the result in many
a close state.
Better far to vote for principle in
a way that will count.
Every Democratic vote cast for Will
liam Mckinley as the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic %institu-
tons against the wild horde now pre-
pairing to attack them, will do just twice
as much service for the common cause
as can be done 10y n Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election.
Let every Democrat who appreciates
the magnitude of the present crisis keep
this fact steadily in mind: His vote for
Mckinley and Hobart is worth double
his vote for the best Democrat that
the sane part of the party could put up
as a protest against the inquiry cOnsum-
mated at Chicago.
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
understanding all that the election means
for our beloved country, is willing TO
cut his vote in two this year; TO deprive
his ballot of one-half it's efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats. Ii will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
selves under no circumstances 10 east
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is SO. Let
them register their protest against Chi
cage by refusing to vote for presidential
electors. Let them concentrate their
partisan enthusiasm upon the state and
local tickets. They will help in this way
to defend the nations honor and the
continued existence of the institutions
which the regulators and the revolution
lists are assailing. They will HELM. il is
true, only half as much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle more
than that by b~estowing their votes upon
a sound-money Democrat nominated for
the sake of their personal comfort and
political consistency.
On the other hand, there are hundreds
of thousands of Democrats, IL not mil
of them, who see in the present
crisis a cali TO duty only less urgent and
inspiring than that which summoned TO
the front ~thirty-6ve years ago our patri-

From a Manifesto by the Illinois sound
Money Democrats.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed its sessions in the city Of
Chicago.
1t entered upon its work by violating
all precedcnts in the rejection of a dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
Ii deprived a sovereign state of a voice
in its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
Ii refused TO endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tiOnal administration.
II adopted a platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone AT the ratio of Is 10 /.
and thereby il r~epudiated a time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of a sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, TO make it palmer that, al
though in name, il was not in fact "A
Democratic convention, il nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, a Democrat.
