Senator Palmer Out.

Springfield, ILL.,, July n.-Senator John
M. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of 5OO Democrats
in this (Sangamon) county who Will not
support the ticket, and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
"No Democrat, so far as have been
informed will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan is
that the Democrats of Illinois, in CO.
oneration with Democrats of other states,
call convention and nominate candi-
congressional districts and in all the
counties, in order to preserve the Demo-
cratic organization.
Having thus stated his views as TO the
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought there
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-Populists,
called Democrats, the real Popuiists who
are soon to hold convention IN st.
Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but who
own the silver and want to sell it. We
will whip them out of their boots. We
ought to have fought them year ago.
and I wanted to do it, but the people
seemed indisposed to move in the mat
ter. We will fight them now, however,
and give them enough of it.
"There is nothing in the platform but
16 TO 1, and there is nothing in the nomi-
nee but mouth. He is a good talker. he
is a fine talker, but when that is said it
is all said. At the same time l think he
is the right sort of a man for conyen-
tion of that character to nominate. he
suits gathering of that kind.

From 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 precedents in the rejection of a dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived a sovereign state of voice
in it's deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic na-
tional administration.
1t adopted platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to /,
and thereby it repudiated a time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of a sound and stable
national currency.

President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has. not always been

ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
ciple to Party.

New York Sun: The political reasons
for not putting up an honest-money can
didate this year on genuinely Demo-
cratic platform are strong and obviouss
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
it would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for 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
the preservation of democratic institu-
tions 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 by Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election. ,c:
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 protest against the inquity consum-
mated ,at Chicago:
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
| understanding all that the election means
for our beloved country, is willing to
emf his vote in two this year; to deprive
his ballot of one-half its efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats 1t will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
| selves under no circumstances to cast
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is SO. Let
them register their protest against Chi
go by refusing TO vote for presidential
electors. Let them cor concentrate their
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 help, it 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 bestowing their votes upon
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, if not mil
lions of them, who see in the present
crisis call to duty only less urgent and
inspiring than that which summoned to
the front thirty-fve years ago our patri-

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR CLASSES
From a Pamphlet Entitled s'The Silver
Snake"

From a Pamphlet Entitled s'The Silver
Snake"
What has been said about the merits
of the question in a philosophical sense
is plain and seems sound, but may there
NOT he other reasons why silver should
be coined at the ratio of 16 to 1?
What other reasons can there be?
We'll such reasons as those given with
respect to the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
1t is said that the country for the past
twenty years has been gradually getting
into the hands of what is called the cred
itor class. which is alleged to be a very
small proportion of the population, while
the great majority have fallen into the
debtor class and into the absolute con-
troll of the others. Now 1t is alleged that
these creditors, as a rule, are harsh and,
practically owning the majority of the
neoDle and able to dictate to them, are
ssucking" what is called the 'life blood''
out of the country.
Who are these terrible creditors who
are doing this? Name single class.
Well. the bankers and money lenders.

Then the country is gradually getting

energy out of the people and enslaying

Well, you are from Rockford, Iii. Let
us take the situation right in Rockford.
That city, as we understand it, is the
second largest furniture manufacturing
place in the world, being next to that of
Grand Rapids. Now, if what is said
about the terrible class of creditors be
true, and if what is said about the awful
condition of the debtor class be true. the
trouble must be as apparent in Rockford
as in any other place in the country, and
there the people who have created the
wealth, the workers, are gradually be-
coming the slaves of those who simply

The United States League of Local

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

wage-earning class, imperatively de-
mands that the present standard of value
whether coin or paper, shall be equal in
value to every other. 3. That patriotism

that end it must be maintained free from
