D. Populist convention and upon the

h. ventiou. The Populist convention.
re as the Democratic convention. has
IS been characterized 10y the gold press,
,r and with unreasoning viiuperatio
AZ as an assemblage Of anarchists and
communists. OF repudia;ors and con
,e iiscationiEts, and some have gone 80
in far as TO speak of it's meeting as Wild
q. orgies. But the Populist conven-
"A ton In no more deserving OF such
,e abuse than the Democrstic conven-
ne tion held at Chicago a few weeks be
~ fore. In both eases such epitheis as
repudiators and coBfscationIsts that
3. have been applied Sd Unfortunately y
TO the delegates az both conventions
are misplaced. Those who demand
that the money that debtors are re-
quired To tender 10 payment Of then
Indebtedness shall be of no greater
value, Of 10 greater purchasing
H. power, than the money borrowed
are not repUdiators, they are moi

en- The very essence OF bimetallism i
.s honesty, justice, equity and for gol'
,rv contractivnists who are urging III
maintenance of the gold standar'
d's that has constantly appreciated dur
~ ing the past twenty years, who de

Inc silver to it's place As money b-csus
it will check the appreciation of gol

go by defrauding their debtors and iu

s.n- sionately assail ail bimetallisfs q
regulators and confscationis,s,
t.s but a RI lection on their own homes;
nta of purpose.
ith- The charge that the plAtfo-r
ion adopted by the Populist Party is 81
archistic, carries its own refutatior
IRD. for anarchy denounces any extensio
oad of the powers Of functions OF govern
ter ment as an unmitigated evil, th
'ed- anarchist holding that each ms

re- own destiny in his owe way, and IN,
III. in the interest of the general veal (
ira mankind it is not necessary tn,
certain rights and relations of ma
the government In order TO secul
