The Chicago Times Herald very
properly enters its protest against the
use of scriptural events of the most
sacred association as illustrations OF
the political conditions, or position.
Bryan began it, with his cross of gold,
and now editors and speakers have
utilized and eulogized the idea until
there is IL to | Of blasphemy in their
remarks. If they have nothing better
to offer on the political situation we
can only think of their moral sense of
propriety as expressed by the Mexican
dollar. DO they not have any regard
for the religious sentiment OF the
people Can they not see that they
wound their feelings when they take
in DETAIL the events Of the crucillx-
ion and make them the imagery of
their remarks. How would these same
writers like to see the death scene Of
Lincoln, or Grant, or Washington ser
we'd up In similar way. What loud
protests they would utter. We defy
any one to show that there is anything
very original, or striking, or beautiful,
in the oft.quoted remark of Bryan. 1t
is not even catchy phrase. Then,
others, In trying to go one better, have
simply insulted the Christian senti-
ment of the country. They had better
let up and find other ways to Illustrate
their points. Political history, outside
Of the scriptures, can furnish better
illustrations.

Very good Republican authority &C

true, then it logically follows that Il

These three things do not logically
belong together. Two must be right

Chairman Peck, who has a great
reputation as a humorist, has promised
the electoral vote of Wisconsin to
candidate Bryan.

The Republican platform has a

Judge by the editorial remarks of some,
it has reference wholly to gold Dem
ocrats. Evidently they want to keep
them out Of the Republican party.
At least they are doing all they can to
raise the party cry above that of the
the country and its distress. Here
they act as If the idea of protection
simply meant the protection of the
spells; and SO consistently try to limit
the immigration of gold Democrats.
Evidently they do not want them or
their votes. They seem to labor under
the delusion that if the gold Demo

may be possible that they will need all
the votes in some states they can get,

they would say, "Come over and help

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.
The National Democratic Party has
issued the following call for national
convention, to be held in indianapolis,
Sept. .
"To the Democrats of the United
States; A political party has always
been defined to be an association of
voters to promote the success OF polit.
ical principles held in common. The
Democratic party during its whole
history, has pledged to promote the
liberty of the individual, the security
of private rights and property, and the
supremacy OF the law. 1t has always
insisted upon u safe and stable money
for the peoples use. 1t has always in
sisted upon the maintenance of the

stituton. These, its principles, were

tatives Of the party ut u national con

cease to eXist unless II be preserved by

The Milwaukee Journal rightly
remarks: "Under freee coinage of
both gold and silver there will be
practically no coinage of gold. Those
who think so are mistaken. If either
coin is worth three per cent more than
the other as bullion, it will go abroad.
This has been our experience from the
first To keep both gold and silver in
circulation, together, the coinage of
silver must be restricted or the com
merciaI ratio must stand permanently
well within three per cent of the legal
ratio. And three per cent is wide
