circulation, injuring If not destroying do
mestic trade and foreign commerce.
While protesting to advocate policy of BIZ
metallism, it censures the present Democratic
administration for maintaining the parity of
gold and silver. 1t proposes to reduce this
country to condition of silver monometal-
lism, with its vacillating and unreliable
standard of values, and tends to bring the
farmer, the wage-earner and the salaried man
to the wretched condition of the same classes
in countries in which the silver standard pre-
walls, and where the rewards of agriculture
and labor are lower than anywhere in the
world.
With what seems to be deliberate attempt
to mislead the people, 1t asserts that by the
coinage act of 1873 the United States aban-
doned the use of silver as money, and that
gold has appreciated and commodities fallen
in price solely by reason of this legislation. It
ignores the fact that the prices of commodities
have fallen because of the enlarged use Of
labor-saving machinery, increased production
and resulting competition. 1t suppresses the
fact that potent reason for the decline in the
price OF silver has been the discovery of new
and cheaply worked mines, resulting in an
increase in its production. Instead of recog-
nizing these facts, it appeals to the prejudice
of the people. 1t demands the free coinage of
silver at the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of Is
TO 1, although the ratio in the worlds
market is as 80 to i, and as no other
experience nor reason warrants the belief

PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Jones Discusses the Sssbject o.
WGYs and Means.

Chairman Jones Discusses the Stsbject of
Ways and Means.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 17-For
three hours to- day Senator Jones, chair
man of the Democratic National Commit
tee, was closeted in an upper room with
several Democrats discussing the subject
of ways and means and the best method
OF conducting the campaign.
Those present were Mr.. Johnson of
Kansas, the newly appointed member OF
the campaign committee from that State
Senator Bacon of Georgia; C. a. Faux
ner of the Congressional committee; Dan
McConville of Ohio; Major T. o. Towles
of Missouri, secretary of the Dimetallic
league; Hon. K. P. Bland of Missouri
Representative Richardson of Tennessee;
Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia, and Secretary
Gardiner of the league of Democratic
clubs.
Mr.. Bland predicts an immense ma
jority in Missouri and says every Western
State will be loyal to free silver. He states
his belief in the triumph and the election
of Bryan. Mr.. Livingstone expresses con-
6dence that the Democrats will carry New
York, New Jersey and Delaware.
Chairman Jones leaves for Chicago to-
morrow night for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the headquarters. He said to-day
that he had offered Governor Stone OF
Missouri place on the campaign COM
mirtee, but the Governor had declined it,
as he had official duties to attend to.
This committee will not find its work
child's play" said Senator Jones. 1.-The
members are expected to be at headquar-
ters and actively engaged. Messrs. Nc
Lean of Ohio, Smalley of Vermont and
Howell of Georgia, will be stationed in
Washington and the other members at
Chicago"
The executive committee has not yet
been agreed upon. 1t has also been set
| tied that there will be no headquarters of
any kind in New York If Treasurer st.
John finds it impossible to go to Chicago
he will remain in New York.
While the headquarters of the National
committee are to be located in Chicago,
the real headquarters, it is thought, will
be in this city. The naming OF Chicago
was, as one member expressed it, merely
| catering to sentiment. The main work
| will be done from this city.
Although no official programme has been
arranged it is unofficially announced that
after Mr.. Bryan speaks st Buffalo and
Erie on the 18th and 18th inst, he will go
direct to Lincoln and remain until after
the first week in September.
He will then go to st. Louis between the
7th and 10th of that month, when he i'll
speak, thence going to Louisville. From
that point his tentative itinerary includes
Atlanta, portions of North Carolina
Richmond and Baltimore. He will arrive
in the latter city some time between the
18th and the 10th of September, where he
will be formally notified of his nomina-
ton by the silver party. Between Rich
mond and Baltimore il is expected he will
speak at a meeting to he held in this city.
After October he will confne himself to
the Middle Western States of Ohio. In
diana. Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wiscon.
sin and Minnesota.
