PLATFORM BUILDING.
Tariff Plank Bothering the silver
Democrats.

Democrats.
CHICAGO, July Notwithstanding
the convention Is still four days off,
there are almost continuous confer
ences among those who expect to be
called upon to make the platform,
when 1t Is made. They consist largely
Of the free silver leaders, who are To-
Gated at the Sherman house. Their
plans all look to preparing a document
which, while 1t will cover various other
questions Of Democratic faith, will
give the place of prominence to the
financial declaration. 1t Is, indeed, now
expected that the platform will be a
silver pronunciamento, setting forth
the free coinage claims in the form of
q ringing address, which will appeal
to the support Of all silver advocates
of whatever party. The gist Of the
plank WILL however, be an unequivocal
declaration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l,
without awaiting the action of any
other nation
The tariff plank is really giving the
silver majority more concern than the
financial declaration. They consider
this a very important plank. The sill
yer question is recognized by all as
the paramount issue, but the Democ-
racy has been so persistent in its decla-
rations upon the tariff, and the Repub-
licans made it so prominent In their
platform, that they recognize the i'm
possibility of ignoring it. This they
would gladly do if they could for this
one time because of the effect that a
declaration leaning too pronouncedly
toward free trade would have upon the
Republican silver men and Populists
whose votes they hope to secure with
free silver candidate. So far as there
has been an exchange of opinion, the
tendency Is decidedly towards a very
brief, and not very pronounced, dec
laration on this point.
The leaders feel that the financial
question is one requiring declaration
OF principle but that the tariff is a
proper subject to play politics upon.
They will probably announce adherence
to Democratic traditions on this sub
ject, though in very general terms,
and announce the belief that with the
mintage of silver the present tariff will
produce sufficient revenue for the needs
of the government. There may be a
declaration for a more equitable adj
justment than that contained in the
present law with the hope of recon-
Cling the different elements. The
plank may contain an implied recon
cilment to protection in words indicat-
ing that any tariff, even though for
revenue only is protection to labor
Judge Powers, of the Utah delega-
ton, has submitted from that delega-
ton the following draft of tariff
plank:
I'VE favor the imposition of duties
to meet the demands of the govern
ment for revenues, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally through
out the country, and not to discrimi-
nate aginst classes or sections
Judge Powers expresses the opinion
that declaration Of this character
will be satisfactory to the West, and
also that it would meet all the de-
mands of the situation, and of Demo-
cratic faith. 1t was taken substan-
TALLY from report made by Secretary
Walker and embodies the principles on
which the Walker tariff was based.

favor OF bimetallism, has been so at
any and all times during the past year
and expects to remain so for the
future. 1t opposes, and will continue
to oppose the free coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio Of 16
to l, because that Is the most offensive
kind Of monometallism Whether an
international agreement could main
tain fixed ratio between gold and
silver with free coinage must always
remain an open question until the ex-
pertinent has, been tried. 1t would
probably depend largely upon the ratio
itself. With one that approximated
reasonably to the commercial ratio 1t is
possible that the thing might be done.
This is the position of the 10
today, exactly as has been its position
for the last 400 days preceding. If the
Journal knows anything at all it knows
that all the intelligent and honest men.
even on its own side of the financial
question, admit that free coinage at the
present moment would drive every dol
lar of gold out of circulation instantly,
and thus precipitate the silver mono
metallism that is suited to such civili-
cations as those Of China and Mexico.
AS we said at the beginning, If you are
going to say anything on this question
at ali, why not tell the truth? Lying
neither helps any cause, nor, in the
long run. convihces any individual.

TELLER TROJANs.
Working Hard to Bring About His
Nomination.


CHICAGO, July S-There was a
strong rally of the friends of Senator
Teller to-day, following the assertion
by Buck" Hinrichsen, Of Illinois, yes
terday, that the Colorado senator would
not accept the nomination. The silver
boilers from the ST. Louis convention
are working like Trojans to impress
upon the Democratic silver leaders the
great advantage of Teller's nomina.
ton In solidifying all the silver ele-
ment of the West, and they are being
warmly supported by Mr. Taubeneck.
chairman of the Populist party com
mittee, DR.. Mott, secretary of the sill
yer party, and the representative OF
the Independent silver element gener-
ally. Taubeneck, assuming to sneak
for the Populists, declares most EN-,
phatically that unless Teller is noni-
mated the three million votes. which

Will be cast for candidate selected
by the PopuliSts at their national con-
vention In st. Louis on the 21st. The
majority of the Democratic silver SEN
ators who are on the ground recognize
Teller's great individual strength and
his towering figure as a great cham
pion Of silver, and, privately, most Of
them would like to see him nominated.
but there is a great fear that the rank
and file Of the Democratic party would
rebel against the selection of a man
who so recently walked out of a Re-
publican convention. Nevertheless.
they are canvassing Teller's available

coming delegates, and upon the result
of their quiet conferences the question

THE EXTENT OF CREDITS.

Controller Eckles, if he receives the
information he has called for. will
make very soon a most valuable con-
tribution to the fund Of information

answer the questions contained in it,

to know the amount of gold, silver and
paper on deposit that day; the amount

the kind of money deposited by the
retail dealers, wholesalers and other
depositors; if wages are paid by check

monthly. The data will state the vari-
Gus kinds Of money deposited Private
banks and companies, over whom he
has no jurisdiction. are asked to con-

One feature that this inquiry will de-
velop is the singular inequality of the

Kinley Is telling audiences that come
to congratulate him that his party,
himself and Mr. Hanna, stand for

and all over the world" but the fact is
that there is a singular preference for
some and repugnance to others of our
dollars in sections Of this country
Westerners visiting the Eastern states
are struck with the prevalence there of
bills and the absence Of silver dollars
Merchants do not want them, trades
people refuse them in change, and, ex-
cept for the smaller denominations for
which there Is no substitute. silver is
seldom seen. In the South, Mr.. Eckles
says, the silver dollar and the silver

But while these last data will crafty

TO GET TOGETHER.
Silver Men VIII Agree ON One Can.
didate,


CHICAGO, July 3.-The silver men
are making a very determined effort
to get together in the subject Of pres
idential candidate, before the opening
Of the convention. This work is neces-
sarily being conducted very quietly,
and away from the public haunts and
largely, at the present stage, by the
recognized leaders. They are finding
the task one of stupendous proportions,
on account Of the large number of can
didates and the determination of the
friends Of the respective candidates to
hold out as long as there is possibility
Of success.
Notwithstanding these difficulties the
representative men express hope Of
success. One of them said today that
the man would be named and g. suffi-
cient number of votes pledged to him
to insure his nomination by Sunday
night. The feeling is generally against
caucus of all the delegates. the lead
ers still pressing their faith to the
plan Of having the representative men
from the various delegations continue
their meetings, depending upon their
representatives to communicate with
and secure the acquiescense of their
fellow delegates in any plan agreed
upon by the general caucus.
The especial necessity for concentra-
ton upon candidate Is found In the
belief among the silver men that 1t
will be the plan Of the gold forces to
combine with the friends Of some par
ticuIar silver candidate and then Sc
cure the credit of naming the candidate
even though he may not agree with
them on the financial question. The
silver men are determined to If possible
prevent any coalition of this character
on the ground that no man who would
take nomination at the hands Of the
gold men would be acceptable.

SILVER CAUCUS.
May be- Held in Advance of the
Convention.

Convention.
CHICAGO, July 3.-There is talk
among the free silver leaders of calling
a caucus of their forces before the con-
vention for the purpose Of fixing up a
slate. Should this be done, Gov. Alt
gelds idea Of "one day" convention
may be carried ito effect w. H. Hin
richsen, chairman of the Illinois state
central committee and delegate-at-
large, says that there is a strong SEN
timent among the free silver delegates
now in the city favoring such caucus.
But even should there be no eau
GUS" he continued, IT. have an idea
that the work Of the convention can
be wound up in single day. AS /
figure it out the silver candidates for
the nomination for president will be
Bland, Boies, Blackburn, Matthews
and Mclean. OF these, I rather in
cline to the belief that Boies and Bland
will get the bulk Of the votes, and that
whoever has the greatest number of
votes on the first ballot will be nomi-
mated on the second.
AS to the gold men, I don't think
we have anything to fear from them.
AS soon as they get here and circulate
among the delegates, they will have
political sagacity enough to see they
are in hopeless minority, and that
to make a fight would be butting their
heads aginst a brick wall, with an idea
of battering it down. The majority of
Democrats Of the country are for free
silver, and 1t has always been the
policy Of the Democrats to allow the
majority to rule"
To Mr.. Hinrichsen's notion, c. s.
Thomas. national committeeman from
Colorado, and chairman Of the dele
gates from that state, stands a good
show of being selected temporary
chairman.
ut is quite possible" Mr. Hinrichsen
went on to say, that the temporary
organization will be made permanent.
This would be done for the purpose of
expediting business"

ARE FOR GARLAND.
Arkansas Delegation Ready to De-
sert BIaIEI,

LITTLE ROCK, July b. The Arkansas
delegation will leave for Chicago Sunday.
Senator Berry said that he favored Mr..
Bland for the presidency, but he was not
enthusiastic over the prospect There is a
growing feeling in the delegation that Mr..
Bland will not be the nominee, and it is be-
lieved by many politicians here that the
Arkansas delegation will desert the Missouri
candidate, after the first few ballots, If he
has not what appears to be winning lead,
and that the name Of ex-Attorney General
A. H. Garland will be presented as a COM
promise candidate, and that the Arkansas
vote will go solidly Mr.. Garland. 1t Is an
open secret here that there has been cor
respondence with Senator Hill and other
Eastern leaders relative to a Garland boom
and Senator Hill Is said to favor Garland as
against any other free silver man. The
delegates from Arkansas are not instructed
for Mr.. Bland The convention simply passed
resolution indorsing his candidacy and
none Of the Arkansas delegates will hesitate
to desert him to join the Garland move
ment.

Bland. Indeed, the gold standard men
declared to-day that even If they are
whipped on other issues, they will not
vote for Bland, nor Ia this sentiment
confined to the gold adherents. There
were rumors af1oat that the Bland
boom had assumed its largest proper
lions and that the leaders would not
accept him under any circumstances
In other words Bland was to be used
as stalking horse.

MINES SHUT DOWN.
Fifteen Hundred Men Thrown Out
I'm MichiGan

IRONWOOD, Mich, July 3.-An extensive
shutdown occurred at all of the mines OF
the Metropolitan Iron and Land company
this evening and fully 1900 men are forced
into idleness. The Metropolitan group of
mines include the Norrie, East Nerrie and
Pabst, and their average yearly shipments
combined are about 100000 tons Of ore
The cause Of the shutdown is the slight de-
mand for iron ore and the fact that they
have in stock piles about $780, 600 TONS The
forces were reduced about month ago and
the management has made every effort to
sell it's product, but outside of a few small
sales they have been unable to place their
ore. The furnaces are running upon the
productions Of the smaller Mines which
shaded prices made by the pool to which the
larger ones belong.
