In q day or two the advance guard OF

from $4,000 to 100000 representatives
of the largest religious society in the world
will have gathered here. In comparison
with the New York convention OF 1894

estimate places the numerical strength
of the united Societies Of Christian En-

spread all over the United States, Canada,
and foreign countries. One common pur-
pose brings this vast host together here.
1t is to still further expand the orgariiza-
ton, make more perfect its work, and
achieve yet greater results.
The preparations made for the reception
and entertainment of these thousands of
young Christians have been watched with
a curious interest by the people of those
cities W here previous conventions have been
held. Because this is by long odds the most
numerous invasion of visitors experienced
by any large city upon occasions of every
kind some doubt has been intimated as to
Washington's capacity to comfortably house
them all. Right here, however, is where

WASHINGTON A CONVENTION CITY.

Capital for taking care of great masses Of
strangers manifests itself. With its abun-
dance of hotels, large and small, Washing
ton has thousands of boarding houses, and
on occasions like this every house almost is
thrown open, So that no one may want
place whereon to lay his head or a bite and
sup" There are, whether fifty thousand
come or twice that number, all will be well
cared for. 1t is quite safe to make the as
sertion that never before have arrange
ments for entertaining great crowds Of
strangers been SO complete.
onstrating how easily they can handle
great crowds, and they can point with
pride to the fact that their visitors rarely
make the complaint-so often heard in other
cities-that they have been .'gouged"
People all over the country are beginning
TO take note Of this fact, and with every
year our beautiful city is in greater de-
mand as a meeting place for great organi-
.ations Its natural advantages, its i'm
provements and the hospitality Of its citi-
zens are gradually making Washington the
convention city OF the United States. No
doubt the Christian Endeavorers will still
further spread Washington's fame in this
particular.

bers who do not believe in that policy are
in no way duty bound to support it. Free
silver coinage is by no means Demo-
cratic principle, and the temporary with
drawal OF a Democrat from his party while
it is wandering after false gods, does not
imply that he is either traitor or a
renegade. Free silver Is a heresy that will
have a short shrift. 1t Is madness de-
veloped by the present hard times. and its
cure will be found in prosperity There

No Longer Slow Coach Days.

Great stress is given the claim that silver the
money of our forefahers of Washington Jefferson and
other famous statesmen and for that should again
be made to dominate monetary system But it must
be remembered that conditions have changed and that
this is no longer age of traditions Indian trails
Stage coaches smoot-bore cannon, and slow moving
methods have long given place to good roads, RAPID
transit quick firing guns and speedy systems OF trans
acting business Nor do silver and gold occupy the
commercial relations The United States they existed
under foefathers has passed for all time into history
and their federation of hustng bustling
Conmonwealts whose people have turned their backs
tradition and forging ahead for first place IN the
intellectual social. commercial, and industrial world
Plainly speaking, the customs habits business methods
and industrial surroundings of Washington good they
WERE obsolete and the monetary system
in those days would quickly demonstrate its nadequacy
it in force these times of enterprise and financial
energy.
With its present enlarged commercial relations and
its pushing methods of extending its arteries of
to every known market this country must have none
tary system that is reliable business methods
and broad and cosmopolitan the expansive territory
to which its various products transported Its dollar
must pass current in Europe Asia in any quarter of
globe and its credit be stable that OF other
country This condition both its credit and
its money the recent bond sales have demonstrated
but if we had been silver basis when necessity
PEELED appeal for credit not dollar could have been
borrowed except under the express agreement that it
should be returned in gold-the money of the world It
alleged that adoption of the silver standard would
force other countries to follow example. AS matter
of fact such argument is indefinite the attempt
to convert China to the Christian religion. The gold
standard Of the great commercial nations is the out
growth of ages of financial experience and
observation and it would be equally for be-
gin warlike conquest of transatlantic neighbors
to attempt to drive them to debased standard through
the means proposed by the slverites
The prospective declaration of the Democratic party
for free silver at Chicago has already caused shrnkage
of $500 00O 900 in the stock markets This loss
falls alike American and foreigner because the stocks
and securities of great corporations held both
at home and abroad The adoption of silver platform
at Chicago need not necessarily bring panic, but it
will many foreign investors to drop their Amer
holdings, and in the event of silver victory No
vember there will be immediate and disastrous money
srngency If there anything good in free silver
outlook would be encouraging instead of being filled
with gloom. This is, perhaps the best financial barom
that could be selected and its alarming
