ABOUT BOLTIA G.

It will be observed that all the talk about boltfng this year comes from the free silver wing of the Democratic party. Not man of any prominence in the sound money camp has threatened to bolt the Chicago convention if a free silver platform shall be adopted. On the other hand, the shouting free silver ties are loud in their declarations and threaten all kinds of disaster to the Democratic party if bold free silver declaration is not incorpo- rated in the National Democratic platform. Tillman, of South Caro- lima; Dan Jones, of Arkansas; Bry- an, of Nebraska; and Bland, of Mis- souri, are among the obstreperous leaders in the free silver camp who are advocating the disruption of the Democratic party if it does not de- clare for free silver. In contrast with these disloyal party declara- tions, the action of the sound money men stand out in bold relief. For instance, the Washington cores pondent of the St. Louis Republic, in speaking of the many recent con- ferences held by the sound money Representatives and Senators, says:
 At these informal conferences the attitude to be assumed by the sound money men at Chicago has been dis cussed, and it seems to be taken
 for granted now that the silver men will be in a large majority in the National Conyen ton. Ii is hardly necessary to say that the sound
 money Democrats are very much disappointed. But there is no talk of bolt among them. Democratic newspapers in Baltimore, Pniladel-
 phia, Boston and New York talk of q bot at Chicago, but Democratic Senators and Representatives ad- herring to the sound money cause have not said word about bolt so

TIE Cook County, Illinois, free silver convention failed to say a word about the ratio of Is to 1. The money plank of the platform reads as follows:
 We declare in favor of the i'm mediate repeal of all that Repnbli- can unpatriotic legislation of 1873 demonetizing silver, and we de- mand the immediate restoration of the Democratic system of free and unlimited coinage of silver, without waiting for any other nation.

i PRISON REFORM

The penitentiary authorities of Illinois have recently made an im- portant change in the rules for uniforming the conviets, says the Little Rock Press. Instead of dressing them all, regardless Of their prison character, in black and white stripes, they have established three grades. The highest .of these grades is the docile, obedient, we'll behaved class, whose distinctive uniform is green. The intermediate class is composed of those whose behavior is somewhat about the average, but who are not of the best class, and their uniform is q gray one. The unruly, impenitent and demoralizing class is designa- ted by uniforms of red.
 This new system is an innovation, and it is far too early to discuss the result of it. But it is an idea that is along the right line. There should be differences in prisoners. There should be distinctions made be- tween the ugly, vicious class, ard those who are obedient to the prison rules, and who try to. accept the opportunity for reformation that is offered by the isolation from evil influences and companions. The latter should not be compelled to wear the same marks of disgrace as are worn by his vicious brother prisoner. He should have some incentive for good behavior-some- thing that would appeal to and de- velope his sense of pride.
 This innovation by the Illinois authorities will be watched with great deal of interest by those who are making study, more or less active, of the prison and the convict question.

THE Boston Herald observes
that cit would not be at all sur
prising if in the next ten years the
rate of progress in the south were
not more rapid than in any other
section of the country" On the
contrary, if that were not the case
it would afford ample cause for as
tonishment. During the past ten
years the rate of progress in the
south has been marvellous. But it
was only the beginning of a de.
velopment which will not reach
full fruition within a quarter of a
century, though it will increase in
volume and velocity with each
year. At the conclusion of the war
the south was PROSTATE in destitu-
tion and helplessness. For near ten
years following the odious carpet
bagger sapped the fruits of her en-
deavor, and the next decade was
devoted to the re- building of her
lost resources, but since that she
has been moving forward and dur
ing the last few years her progress
has been unparalleled in any part
of the wolld. The south is especi-
ally rich in elements Of wealth, and
the people have at last learned to
utilize the advantages with which
generous nature has endowed her,
In iron, coal, cotton and various
other staple products of the earth
and soil she is provided more boun-
tifully than any other section of
the common country and the fact
that manufacturing enterprises
have found their way to these ex-
haustless sources of supply is
the natural consequence of the
change of industrial conditions.
The iron furnaces Of Alabama and
the cotton factories of Georgia, Ten
nessee and other cotton producing
states have enjoyed prosperity
during the past three years that
has existed in no other quarter,
and the determination to further
and fuller development is the logic
al result, But the full measure
has not yet been reached. There
are other and equally potential
agencies of progress in the south
which are still unexplored. These
are the fertility of the soil for ag-
ricultural operations, the vast for

Indeed the great Lincoln was al
most prophetic in his suspicious.
What he feared would result has
come to pass. We find at this
time our government in the hands
of corporations and the money
power. In every branch Of gov
ernment, in our state legislatures,
in our house of representatives, in
the senate and on the bench we
find the representatives of corpora
tions predominating. And as Pres
ident Lincoln said they would do,
the money power is endeavoring to
"prolong its reign by working upon
the prejudices of the people, i'm
ploring them to maintain the hon
esty Of the currency and at the
same time elect to the highest office
in the gift of the people, one who is
bound body and soul to administer
government for the classes. Will
the people be thus gulled into bar
tering away their liberty by ele,t-
ing to the presidency the direct
representative of the corporations,
and aid the money power to tight
en- the yoke Of financial bondage
about their necks2' Are they ready
to surrender their right to rule
this nation and turn it over to the
classes? Or will they heed the
warning Of grand, honest old Abe
Lincoln and elect to the presidency

trusts, the money brokers abhor?

The Democratic Platform.

The platform which has been heralded
to the people OF these United States by
the democratic party in convention as
sembled, on which it is predicted the
brilliant Bryan will be swept to victory
by tidal wave is as follows:
We, the democrats of the United States,
in national convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance to thsee great essen
tial principles of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has main
tanned from Jefferson's time to our own
freedom OF speech, freedom of the press,
freedom of conscience, the preservation
of personal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law, and the faithful
observance OF constitutional limitations.
Recognizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this time,
we invite attention 10 the TACT that the
federal constitution names silver and
gold together as the money metals OF the
United States, and that the first coinage
law passed by congress under the consti-
tuition made the silver dollar the unit of
value and admitted gold TO free coinage,
at a ratio measured by the silver dollar
unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 de-
monetizing silver without the knowledge
or approval of the American people has
resulted In the appreciation OF gold snd
corresponding fall in the prices OF
commodities produced by the people; 9
heavy increase in the burden OF taxation,
and of all debts, public and private; the
enrichment Of the money.lending classes
at home and abroad; paralysis OF indus

THAT deadly parallel" now ap-
pearing in the goldbug press, un-
der the title of "Silver VS.. Gold,"
and purporting to be a comparison
of wages and cost of food, clothing
and furniture in Mexico and the
United States is indeed paralyz-
er. The prices OF furniture in the
two countries is especially surpris.
ing, and why manufacturers will
sell three piece oak bedroom set
for $50 in the United States when
they can get 5000 in Mexico for it,
which is equal to $l0S in our mon
ey, is d conundrum. Other items
in the furniture line are practical
lv on the same ratio. In food pro-
ducts the difference is not so great,
although bread is quoted at 3 cents
per pound in this country and IL
cents i'll Mexico. The statement
that the average pay for labor in
the United States is $40 per month
is another surprise. The term ''la-
bor," as used, is presumed to mean
unskilled labor, and every one
knows that where that class of la
Dor is employed by the month the
average of wages is nearer $40 than
$40.
1t is stated that the average pay
for labor in Mexico is 50 per
month. This is presumably some
where near the truth, for in dis
patch in the Sunday Oregonian il
is stated that laborers in Mexico
are paid 40 cents a day and board
or 80 cents day without board.
Either the employers don't feed
their "hands' anything, or else the
cost of living is greatly exaggerated
in that deadly parallel" For
with food products 100 per cent.
higher in Mexico than here, it
would puzzle the most astute
goldbug to board laborers for 10
cents day. Even in this country
where everything is so remarkably
reasonable, no one pretends to
board men at 10 cents q day.
Hence it is an easy matter to see
that there is something materially
wrong in the parallel business, or
in the Oregonian's news service.

Do NOT pay any attention to the

publican cormorants by whom it
has been robbed and looted, the
gold bugs are ranting like wild
bulls in a China shop. The people

they are almost insane to see their

his produce will not pay his ex-

particularly happy when he reflects
that the persons calling him an
anarchist are those who profit by
the laws that rob him.

WHICH SHALL 1T BEP

The danger to our free institu-
tions from the Capitalization of
wealth, and the possibility of the
money power gaining control of the
reins of government, was one
which our early statesmen sought
to guard against, and in eloquent
terms did they warn the people to
beware of this threatening menace
to popular government. Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson and Web
ster all raised their voices caution
ing the masses against risking too
much authority in the hands of the
classes. And the martyred presi :
dent, Abraham Lincoln, whose
sympathies were wholly with the
common people, and who was
nearer to the people than any other
man of his time, soon after the
close of the war, saw this danger,
and he asserted that it caused him
more anxiety for the safety of his
country than even the rebellion. In
message TO the thirty seventh
congress (see pages SO9.310 Bar
rett's Life of Lincoln) he said:
Monarchy itself is sometimes
limited at as a possible refuge from
the power of the people. In my
present position / could scarcely
be justified were | to omit raising a
warning voice against approaching
despotism. There is one point to
which / ask q brief attention. 1t
is the effort to place capital on an
equal footing with, if not above,
labor in the structure of the gov
ernment, Let them beware of sur
rendering q political power, which
they already have, and which if
surrendered will certainly be used
to close the door of advancement
against such as they, and to fix
new disabilities and burdens upon
them, till all of liberty shall be
lost"
Then in a subsequent letter Mr..
Lincoln expressed bis fears of the
encroachment of the money power
as follows:

hour for the republic; but | see in
