ton of the jury.
"The fatal infirmity of Mr..
Dingley's theory is his assumption
that the executive has the right to
hold the greenbscks in the treas
ury, either to exchange for gold or
for the purchase of bonds. The
greenbscks limited to 1916, 6,6lS,0l6
were intended as permanent and
constant addition to the legal ten
der currency OF the country, and
any policy which has for its object
their temporary or final withdrawal
ls without warrant in law.
Another defect in tho hypothe-
sis of Mr.. D,ngley is his assertion
that the retention of the green
backs in the treasury would not
contract the currency because the
gold for which they were cx-
changed would enter into and be-
come a part of the circulating
medium of the country. Every
body knows to the contrary.
Practically gold is never ia
circulation. 1t is not available in
the daily transactions of wage
earners because it is not suscep-
tible of subdividiny into coinage
of small denominations. In placid
times of tranquil and con'rn,ed
prosperity the people prefer pnl er
and gold remains in unsougit re-
clusion. When distrustsnd nppre-
hension prevail; when credit is inn
paired and confidence shaken, then
gold is boarded aud transferred
in bulk from kingdom to kingdom,
to be buried IN the vaults OF tho
Jews, or to replenish the treas
uries Of monarchs.
"The statement Of Dincley em-
phasizes the declarations Of those
who framed the financial plank OF
the st. Louis platform, and Of
their democratic allies that "-ound
money means ultimately the re-
tirement of the greenbacks, the
legi atlation of standard silver
money, and the transfer Of tho
legal tender function to gold coin

The Monte Vista Journal says
Colorado will be entitled to one
delegate 10 the national populist
conference to be held this summer.
You know that was a false state
ment.-Saguache Herald.
If we understand the call, only
those who followed Waite in Colo
RADIO last fall are invited to partici-
pate in the Nashville conference.
The men responsible for the call
denounce John c. Bell, Senator
Butler, and, in fact. almost every
man whom the party has elected
to Office as unworthy to sit in a
populist convention.
We believe in the middle of the
road but do not have to go to
Paul Vandervort and his ilk to
find ont where the middle of the
road is. Last year it was IN the
middle of the road to nominate
Bryan but not Sewall. No man
can tell where the middle of the
road will be three years from now,
not even the brains of the Nash
vile convention. There is not the
least danger of repeating the mis-
takes of 1896 three years hence.
So we may as well keep our eyes
off Charybdise and look ahead, look
to the future and not to the past.
We are with the peace makers and
not the mischief makers. We
shall remain in the party 80 long
as the men in control do their duty

which the answer would reveal is

Jail rather than give the required

means detention for thirty days in

efforts to restrain the trusts are

prompted by desire on the part
OF the politicians to reap some Of
the benefits Of tho special privi-
leges which the trust enjoys. It

Billy Leydon is great card for the game

other places. Hobe is looking out for the
money end OF II for us, and last night was
on the door, and that is the reason he was
not in the game.
i'The people I'm Rockland were very
much surprised at our playing, and Is
probably the best game OF polo they ever

In good shape, and put up a fine game.
