THE holt IN NEW YORK.

The Petersburg Index-Appe1l makes the
telling point against the free silver Demo-
Gratis Of New York that they have bolted
the regular nomination, and that, too, with
less reason than the gold Democrats had
Tor refusing TO support the nominees OF
1he Chicago convention.
I'm The one case" says our contempo-
rary "the goldtes found themselves con-
fronted with a platform and nominees
who declared FOR doctrines in which they
dld not believe and could not conscient-
ously support. In the other case. the con-
venton simply declined to incorporate in
its municipal platform the declaration Of
n national convention on national sub
poets which had no more application TO
The municipal affairs OF New York than
II can have to the affairs Of the man in
the moon. The platform was absolutely
Silent, and properly so, on national ques-
tons. and there was no good reason why
the Bryanites should not support it,
Worse than that, the New Workers have,
nominated Henry George, who does not
even profess TO be a Democrat, and we
are now told that mass-meeting Of the
rank and file OF Tammany Hall will
be called for the purpose of repudiatpg
the regular ticket and endorsing the can
dacy OF Mr.. George.
But why should we be surprised? The
free silver people have shown by their
every act that with them the great issue
IS '1g 20 l or bust and that 1t matters
little about the great principles Of Demo-
cracy, just so the interests Of free coinage
are promoted
Let us be honest about this matter. Mr..
Bryan said before the Chicago convention
was held that II the convention should de-
clare for the gold standard he would not
support the ticket. and in saying so he
voiced the sentiment OF many others who
regarded free silver as the great issue Of
the campaign. Had the convention been
controlled by the sound money element in
the Democratic party, there would have
been bolt on the part OF many free sill
yer delegates. Moreover, It was current
gossip al the CONVENTION that in case Of q
bolt on the part Of the gold delegates, the
silver forces Of all parties would at once
combine and nominate Senator Teller a
silver Republican. And there are those
who believe that the platform was franz
ed to SUIT that emergency, which, how
ever. did not arise
HAD either course been adopted, there
is no question as to where William Jen-
nIngs Bryan would have been found.
why not. We say, be honest about this
matter We ask our free silver friends to
say in all candor n what We have out
lined above is not true, and II so, why de-
nounce and abuse gold Democrats for,do-
ing what most silver Democrats would
have done under reversed conditions?

At Waco. Tex. Saturday afternoon two

went cunning for one Bran, editor Of

institutions and generally to stir up strife

Bran went too far however. when he

SOME INTERESTING FACTS REGARD.
ING SILVER

In the past day or two we have met
with number of very interesting facts
in relation to silver, which we group to
gether and present to our readers.
A table has been prepared recently,
showing the way wheat and silver have
kept in relation 10 each other. 1t shows
that in September. 1895. wheat began to rise
in price, beginning at G7.2 cents bushel
and ascending to so cents in October, TO
92.7 cents In March. 1897. TO 80 cents in
August. and Sl0s on September, 1897.
Parallel with this line .of figures is
another line showing how silver began at
ss2 cents per ounce on September l. 1880.
and fell steadily. while wheat was rising.
getting By August. 1857. to ST. cents per
ounce. and by September /. 1887. 10 sl.2
cents per ounce.
II ought TO be apparent TO all that the
argument so long used by the free coIners
that a bushel OF wheat and an ounce
OF silver kept always of the same value.
is an utter fallacy. It Is perfectly plain

One farmer last yedr had 10 acres In
melons and others lo0 acres and more.
The cost OF growing melons Is little
more than that OF growing corn and the
cost OF harvesting Is something more, but
the receipts are said to be from two to
five times greater than could be realized
from any other crop. II IL said that
nearly all the melon seeds used In the
United States come from this semi-arid
region.
IL would make many of the colored
folks groan with anguish. however, to see
these luscious melons lruthlessly sacri-
feed for seeds only.
