The Meaning ofthe Chicago Platform
TFrom the New York Journall

[Fron the New York Journal,l
The republican managers, writhing in
their own Porto Rican misery, comfort
themselves with the reflection that they
can convict the democracy either Of in
consistency or bad Judgment on the
fiancial question. They think that the
democrats must either make the mis-
take of demanding the immediate free
coinage of silver OF abandon the Chica-
go platform. ~
They are nursing false hopes.
The democracy will reatiirm the prin-
cfples of the Chicago platform, knowing
that those principles were1ight in 1885
and are right now, for principles do not
change. But what does the platform
say? TT e
We-declare that. the act of 1873, de-
monetizing silver without the knowl-
edge or approval Of the 4Americanspeo,.
pie has resulted in theSaHpreciation OF
gelAand p Corresponding fall ip%thei
prices Of comm oditfes pradneed BY the.
peoples - ~ We dBiHShd the free
and unlimited coinage of b5th silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of 1B to 1,
without waiting fol-, the, aid. or consent
of any other nation.
In other words, the democracy said:
"We are suffering from scarcity of
money, with resulting appreciation of
gold and falling prices, and our remedy
is the free coinage of silver"
Since that time the mines have added
nearly thousand million dollars to the
gold circulation of the world, and on
top of that the republican party has pre-.
pared to initiate the currency with $780,
100000 of bank rag money. And Nc.
Kinley and Mark Hanna fondly believe
that the democrats will offer The same
remedy forsrising prices and unhealthy
speculation that they offered for falling
prices and Industrial depression,
Hardly. The trainers of the Chicago
platform were deeply versed in the prin.
ciples Of monetary science. They
stated the principle that prices could be
regulated by the volume of money,
and the truth of thatprinclple has since
been demonstrated by the course OF
events and recognized by the republican
party. More money was needed in 1885
and the democrats proposed to supply
it by the free coinage of silver. The
currency is now inflated and :prices are
above the free silver level, The repub.
lican party has adopted the very worst
possible method of imitation, but the
work is done. The principles OF the
Chicago platform, therefore, require
free silver to be kept IN reserve as a
remedy not to be applied until the con.
ditlons of 1896 recur-the appreciation
of gold and corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities produced by the
people, q heavy increase in the burdens
of taxation and Of all debts, public and
private, the enrichment of the money
lending class at home and abroad, the
prostration Of Industry and inp6verish-
ment Of the people,"
IAN honest dollar lisa stable dollar
That is, and always has been the demo-
cratic policy not the republican policy
of alterations of pinching contraction
and wild bank-note initiation for the
benefit of speculative mixers of the
money market.

Der of the democratic party after the
close of the presentsession of congress.
He has already announced that he
will not support Mckinley if he should
be nominated. The senator will take
no overt political action until McKin-
ley's nomination.
Senator Wellington opposes McKin-
ley conscientiously, because he regards
him as unfit for the presidential office.
He rescnts the suppression of Gen.
Miles in time of war, when the coun-
try needed his services. He believes
that if Gen. Miles had been placed in
command there would have been no
horrors OF hospital ships and no crimes
of the camps. He resentS the calum-
MES which were hurled against Admit
raj Schley in administration circles
after Schley had won his great victory.
He regards the Porto Rican tariff bill
as an infamy, which congress enacted
because Mckinley demanded it.

Stagnation or Speculation.

Business stagnation is the reason
assigned for shutting down twelve of
the largest steel mills of the country,
members of. the trust, and throwing
quito employment over TO- VEG work.
men. II the reas1s s ,,.s;.sEEeH by the
trust is true, that it is business
stagnation, what becomes of the I'M
paralleled prosperity that is heralded
in every issue of the administration
newspapers? If the reason assigned
by the trust is false, and we are in
the midst of unparalleled prosperity,
then the dangerous character of the
trusts ought to be clearly observable
even to such trust organs as the De-
coroh Republican.
In these II mills that shut down are
hundreds of Stockholders. whose
entire income depended upon the
dividends earned, which are cut off.
The probable purpose of the shut
down of the mills is to freeze out the
small stock holders, compel the sale of
their stock to the trust at large
discount from it's face value, thus
placing the small stock holders at the
mercy of the Carnegies, the tricks
and the Rockefellers. To make bust
ness activity, cut of so per cent. has
been made in wire and s.. 90 a key on
nails, which means loss to stock
holders in these mills, and to dealers
who have stocked up with goods at
former prices, which must now be sold
in competition with goods at the new
rates.
After John w. Gates, president of
the American Steel Trust, in the
interest of the trust has gobbled up
the stock at low price, the mills will
run on full time, and the stock will 60
up in price, be sold at the advance.
and the new stock holders in time be
feeced as the former ones were. Tits
dangerous that one man.should have
the power to throw 10000 men out of
employment, and to take the bread
from the mouths Of their families, for
The enrichment of the trust, and to
disturb trade, and when trust interests
require it, to create panic to the
destruction of small dealers.
