A Sound Money Convention.

- SSeh" -ANhNt NOhN
Milwaukee Journal,
The National Democrats of Wiscon-
sin will hold convention at the Pabst
theatre in Milwaukee on Aug. % to
elect delegates to the national conven.
ton to be held at Indianapolis on
Sept. 2. This call is issued by the
committee appointed for that purpose
and is panied by list of men
endorsing the movement. While this
list is from the nature of the case
comparatively meager in numbers ow-
ing to the short time in which it had
to be prepared, it will be found to
contain 500 names. No one looking it
over will afterward think lightly of
the revolt of the sound money Demo
Gratis in Wisconsin. The names
attached are a guarantee of the char
acter and standing of the National
Democratic party in this state. That
SO many and such names could be
gathered mp in the brief space in
which the work was done, shows that
the departure of the Chicago conven-
ton from the old landmarks will not
be sustained by large and influential
body of Democrats we'll known in this
state. This convention and the cause
it represents will make itself felt; it
cannot be sneered out of existence or
choked off; it is stubborn fact in the
campaign.

A mass convention of the National
Democratic party of Wisconsin will
be held In Milwaukee, on Wednesday,
Aug. &c, to select delegates to the
National Democratic convention, at
indianapolis, Sept. 2. The call for
the state convention is signed by
eight hundred representative Demo
Gratis, who together with thousands OF
others throughout Wisconsin, deny the
right of any man to set aside the basic
principles of Democray. The conven-
ton will be largely attended by men
who cannot endorse the undemocratic
platform of the Chicago convention.

error of their ways? If this is the
case. it only shows that they have no
real convictions on any subject; for If
a thing is radically wrong-intrinsically
wrong-wrong in itself as they said
the silver policy was, before the con-
vention, then 1t seems to us that 1t
would take more than the nomination
of an orator and the simple adoption
of a platform to make this wrong
right. Real convictions are not
changed In a day. Such conversions
can only come through a voice from
heaven. not from Democratic or Re-
publican caucus or convention. Again,
il they were only talking for political
effect, 1t seems to US that they were
playing and tri1ing with the most
serious problem that has presented IT.
self for the sober consideration OF the
American people. We believe this
question between gold and silver has
moral side which rules it out OF "the
lighter vein" The question goes down
into the ethical relations OF men. 1T
concerns their ideas Of honesty and
honor; and so it demands the best and
most sober thought. 1t makes all the
difference in the world whether we
are an honest or u dishonest people
Nations have n character rs well as
individuals. What we want to know
is simply this: Ghe gold basis being
secure,) by experience, will u silver
basis maintain our national honor and
credit? There are honorable and In
telligeDt men who long before the
Chicago convention believed this, and
they believe it to day, and they are
willing to 20 down with their prln-
ciples. We honor such men for hay
ing the courage Of their coVlctlohs,
while we reject their principles. What
about those who before the conven-
ton maintained the negative Of this
question, and who now, in blind and
submissive obedience to party, assume
the Affirmative? This surely does not
show them In u favorable light. Such
men disturb the money market, ana
brighten men and women out OF their
wits, by their dreadful predictions;
and then say that it was only joke,
and that they were for silver all the
time 1t Is like the cry of fire." that
creates tho panic in the crowded
house. The wounded and the friends
of the dead may well feel like severely
furnishing that one. In this connec.
ton, we would say we believe in sub.
mission to party platforms and nom
nations when this only involves sur
render Of opinions in matters of pol
icy and party rxpediency; but when it
means the surrender Of our conscience
and political faith, this Is another
matter. There is u wide difference
between matters Of faith and matters
of policy and opinion about the faith;
and when in our Judgment party
convention Surrcnders its political
faith, it is just and right to protest
agnins. It's platform and candidate.

very much as Mr.. Bryan said in his
speech, during the " Democratic con-
vention at Chicago, last month, when
he used these words: The United
States is large and strong enough to
legislate for its own people. But the
gold bug of today will say we can't do
it when legislating on questions per-
tanning to currency. Let's see what
little France did from 1884 to 1873.
She opened her minis to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 15i to !, while our ratio was 16
to /. What was the result? No man
in New York or London would take
less for his silver bullion than he
could get for it In France less the
cost of transportation. This is one
reason why silver was worth more
than gold in 1873, when silver was
demonatiZed; and if we pass free
coinage bill to coin silver at the ratio
of 1G to l., no person who has silver
bullion will take less than it would be
worth after being coined. Now what
little France can do, cannot big United
States? And if this can be done, as it
will be done if the "Democrats are
successful this fall, what a blessing
it would be to the farmers Of this
country, as free coinagc would decrease
the purchasing power Of England's
gold which would mean an incre ase
for our farm products. But some one
says your l6 to silver dollar would
be worth so or So cents, the present
price of silver bullion. We insist
that it would be worth 100 cents
Let's see the laws of supply and de-
mand again come into play. If you
make new demand for silver the
price of bullion must necessarily rise
and you decrease the demand for gold
and the price Of gold bullion must
decrease, and when this great govern
ment Of ours backed by over 20
millions Of her people can coin 4l2l
grains Of silver into q dollar it will
have the purchasing power of 100
cents, and who is going to doubt it?
England may say for a time, | will
not honor your dl2i grains of silver
us 100 cents, but right mere we will
say, all right old, John Bull you don't
have to honor it ust now, for if we
owe you anything we will pay you off
in our products, which you must have
or starye and about the time he is
making his last kick, he will throw
100 cents worth of gold to exchange
for our products and {" we have him y ;
and every person in this great country
of ours will join US Democrats in
singing, Hail the new born day.
Yours, j. T. AYLWAIiD.

There has been ono feature about
this campaign which strikes us rs very
peculiar. We refer to the fact, that
before the Chicago convention there
were many who called themselves gold
men and predicted all kinds of dtsas.
ter, not only for tho party, but for the
country, if silver should carry; and
when silver carried In the convention,
they sputtcrcd Il great deal, and
still predicted the ruin of the country,
Now, after II few weeks have gone
bv, they have changed their posi-
ton and are now tho luudest shout
ers among the silyeritcs. This is
their own affair, IN one sense; but
what strikes MS MS wen! peculiar ~,
how can they shout for silver, Whel
two months ago they said II mean
disaster for the country. This shows
three things either they were tnSin-
cere in their talk against silver, and
were talking Tor political effect or it
shows that they have no real political
conyictions; or that they did not know
anything about the subject, and in
this case everyone must say that
silence was golden one or the other
of these three things must be true.
Who in the future can place any re-
lance upon what they say. They now
say, silver is the best thing. Can We
take their word for it, How do We
know that they are not talking tol
effect, or about something Of whicl
they have no knowledge What the.
say today they may ilatly contradict
tomorrow. 1t is said that the Chicago
convention converted them from tn
