CongressionaI Convention.

Senator Edmund i. Ross, chairman
of the last Republican Congressional
Convention held at Cape May, has
issued a call for the next convention to
meet at Woodbury. on July 30. Dele
gates to the convention will he elected
on July 81, throughout the district,
which comprises the counties of Cam
den, Cape May, Cumberland, Glouces-
ter and Salem.
AT the present time the only candi-
date for the Republican nomination is
Congressman Harry Z. L~oudenslager,
of Paulsboro, who has served two terms.
Should Mr.. Loudenslager be nominat-
ed, which event is now almost certain
to happen. the old two.term rule which
has prevailed for so many years in the
First Congressional district will be
broken for the first time. The only OPP
position to the denomination of MI.
Loudenslager comes from those welded
to the two-term idea, and, as that is
the only argument against the present
Congressman, he will have plain sailing
before the convention.
Some months ago there was talk of
Senator Edward G. Stokes, OF Millville,
being a candidate for the Congressional
nomination against Mr., Loudenslager,
but his recent declaration that he would
not oppose the present incumbent has
left the field clear of rivals.

Sunday was the one hundred and
eleventh anniversary of the establish
ment of the standard of American coin.
age. AS early as 1882 Superintendent
of Finance Robert Morris submitted to
the Continental Congress a plan for a
metallic currency for the United States.
Gouveneur Morris had attempted to
harmonic all the moneys of all the
States. He proposed that ten units
should be equal to n penny, ten pence
to one bill, ten bills to II dollar (abOut
segenty-fve cents of our present cur
rency), and ten dollars to one crown.
But there was no use in attempting to
evolve any Federal order out of the
chaos of Colonial and Revolutionary.
coins, so, after some of these proposed
new coins had been submitted to Con-
gress. Thomas Jefferson proposed the
successful plan. This new propose
was to strike four coins upon the basis
of the Spanished milled dollar, as fol-
lows: A golden piece of the value of
ten dollars, a dollar in silver, a tenth
of a dollar in silver, and a hundredth
of a dollar in copper. This report was
adopted by Congress on July 6, 1885,
and was the origin of the American
copper cent, dime, dollar and golden
eagle. The first silver dollar was COIN
ed in 1894. 1t was embellished with
fifteen stars, and weighed 416 grains.

FThe hgureS Tor 1870 are 10 jury l.
This record of crops and prices proves
that instead Of being caused by an in
crease or decrease in the use of silver
money, the price of cotton depends in
every case ON the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re-
suited in falling prices, and when in q
few years with an increased crop prices
advanced 1t was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop was
not larger as compared with oonsump-
tion, which regulated the price. The
record further proves that in the year
1915, when the silverites claim that sill
yer was the unit of value, the price Of
cotton in the United States was lower
than at any time in the history of the
country. In view Of these facts we
should hear nc more of the price of cot
ton as q reason for debasing our currency
by putting it ON tho silver standard.

A Washington correspondent says:
1t is not believed in Washington that
there will he any boiling Of the conven.
tion, but it is believed-Aye known
that the gold men will individually
fight the ticket in every way possible,
not only with ordinary political meth.
dds but also with business methods.
One of the latter which has already
leaked out will lie. to use the banks to
embarrass the silver men, by refusing
to discount their notes OF to allow
them to renew apy of their obligations
now held by the banks when they be-
come due. The forcing of Mr.. st.
John to resign the presidency of the
Merchantile National Bank of New
York city, because of his views on the
silver question, is said to have been a
part of the scheme to have the banks
all over the country put the screws on
their silver customers. This is a new
wrinkle in politics. How it will work
remains to be seen.

A committee waited on Garrett A
Hobart, in Patterson, OIL Tuesday and
apprised him of his nomination for
Vice President. In his address he
spoke boldly for the gold standard. He
said "Gold is the one standard of value
among all enlightened commercial ma
tions. All financial transactions of
whatever character, all business enter
prise, all individual or corporate invest.
ments are adjusted to it. An honest
dollar, worth 100 cents everywhere,
cannot be coined out of SO cents worth
of silver plus a legislative fat. Such II
debasement of our currency would in
evitably produce ~incalculable loss, ap.
palling disaster and national %dishonor."
