The expression "Christian forbear-
ancen will continue in our cOnst1tu-

word Christian, but the motion
should have been to insert "MOhame-

ance, so that citizens of the State could
exercise some discretion. Judging
from the kind of forbearance exercised
in our late Chinese invasion, Chris

A MONETARY CLAUSE.

There has been an effort on the part
of gold bugs for come time to secure
obligations payable in gold. This is a
deep laid scheme, and will not fully
dawn on the public until obligations
of this character begin to fall due some
years hence, and the obligors begin to
hunt for gold to pay them. They
will then find that the gentlemen to
whom they owe the obligations, have
all of the gold, and to pay the debts
gold must be purchased, and purchas-
ed at the price asked by the creditor.
To make obligations payable in one
kind of currency is q decentralization
of all other kinds of money used in
their payment, and places great hard
ship on the debtor class. This being
the case we trust that our Constitu-
tianal Convention, unless it be entirely
under the control of the gold element
of this country, which we blush to say
We somewhat fear, will see that clause
be placed in the constitution something
after the following idea
whenever any obligation payable
within this State shall call for the pay
ment of any particular class of money,
the same may be payable in any mon
ey current in the United States, issued
by the government of the United
States, directly or indirectly Or
declare that, "All money of the United
States shall be upon equal footing in
this State, and any obligation may be
paid in any currency of the United
States without distinction.
We look on such clause as second
in Importance to no other clause of
the constitution.
There are several questions we would
like to ask, but we know they would
receive no answer. They are as follows:
Who could the consolidated Demo
Gratis nominate who would receive five
million votes? By "Consolidated De-
mocracy" we mean the Ohio kind,
where the gold bug element predomi
mates in conventions. Plain Democ-
racy predominates at the polls.
What would be the money plank of
their platform
Would they touch the tariff?
Would they criticize the Supreme
Court a.?
Would they criticize Mckinley?
Would they declare against Nation
al Banks
Would they decline to increase the
army, navy, pension roll, or annex the
Philippines and Cuba?
