Tbe Gold Convention.

The lack of numbers in the Gold Con
vention at Trenton has been the subject
CT some comment. and the Silver pro-
motors have taken some courage from it.
We regard 1T as wholly Insignificant.
There was no need for a great crowd.
There was no machinery to draw one
and no reason to expect one.
The Trenton Convention had only one real
purpose. 1t was called to nominate dele
gates to the Gold Democratic National
Convention at Indianapolis. It was nu-
merous enough and representative enough
TO do this effectively and wen. It did
dts work. and it sent out to the people
Of the State words Of encouragement and
ediacation. The character of III men
Who made up the gathering was high.
All the State knows that they had no
selfish purpose. It was a coed thing in
stseIf to see so many citizens of a high
order of mind and education taking SO
active a part in politics.
There is no reason to infer from the
comparatively small attendance on this
occasion that the vote for the Gold ticket
win be light. This vote is a silent vote,
what is called a vest pocket vote.
Those who cast It are business men.
They cannot spare a day to go to Tren-
ton, nor would they be at home at a
political gathering. But they read and
think They a a personal interest in
saving the ouptr from ruin. Their
ballots will be ali right.

zanzibar and yenezusia.

The Zanzibar incident throws an inter-
esting side-light on recent American poll
tics. The new Sultan of that weak and
semi-civilized principality refused to be
dictated to by john Bull. John imme-
diatelx resorted to his ultimatum scheme,
and when the unhappy Sultan said he
would rather die than surrender his
rights. the reply was made with a saw
age bombardment which laid waste his
palace, his public buildings and his works
Of defence. The Sultan himself became
a refugee in the German Consulate, and
England put a puppet of her own on the
throne.
We have here a very good example of
what would have happened in Venezuela
before now, had it not been for the stall

preliminaries had reached the ultimatum

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is, 1Ss6.-secretary
Schrader Of the National Republican Con.
gressional headquarters, said to q cor.
respondent today that the bulk Of til
campaign literature sent by the commit.
tee to New Jersey consists of speeches
on the silver question.
THE speech delivered In the House last
session by Congressman McCleary. d
minnesota, seems to be in the greatest
demand" Mr.. Schrader continued. uBy
request OF Congressman Loudenslager
we will send him another big sup.
ply. Mr.. L~oudenslager Is evidently deyot.
ing a good deal of time to distributing
literature calculated to set the misguid.
ed right on the money question.
What comes next In demand?,
well, the New Jersey members show
a strong liking for Secretary Carlisle,a
address to the Chicago w-orkingmen.
We have sent a great many copies Of
that speech to New Jersey. Then the
speech of James G.. Blaine, delivered by
him in the Senate on February I, 1873. Il
popular. One of the clearest points made
by Blaine in that speech is particulars
applicable now. I recall it distinctly. II
is as follows:-
A current rates of silver, the free
coinage of a dollar containing 412Hs grains
worth In gold about ninety-two cents,
gives an illegitimate profit to the owner
of the bullion. enabling him to take
ninety-two cents worth of silver to the
mint and get 1t stamped as coin and force
his neighbor to take it for a full dollar.
This is an undue, an unfair advantage
which the Government has no right to
give the owners of silver bullion, and
which defrauds the man who is forced to
take the dollar.
What makes that point all the sharper
and more forcible now" said Mr.. Schra-
der, rs that instead Of being worth
nlnety-two cents, the same amount OF
silver is worth but fifty-three cents.
HOW IS the demand from New Jersey
for tariff literature7"
Good, but 1t is not so great, by any
means. as the demand for currency stuff.
We don't hear much about the situation
in. New Jersey. All we get. or about an
we get. IS the cali Tor literature. But 10
Judge from the frequency Of that call
the campaign In that part of the coun-
try must be waxing hot"
How about the rest Of the country7''
our reports are encouraging. Some
people say that the free silver craze IS
over. That would be too radical a state
ment for me to make. A good conserva-
tive, reliable assertion is that the craze
is surely diminishing. It has seen its
greatest growth. It is now on the de-
cline. 1t will not do, however, to be
o-vereontident. There is a fight on. and
reason for any advocate Of sound money
TO lay down his arms. Such a proceed
ing would set an example which, If fol-
lowed, would be disastrous. This is,
however, appreciated by u party, and
! look for an increase rather than a di-
minishing of our fighting forces"
