It has been a foregone conclusion fof some time that William McKin ley would be the nominee of the St, Louis I Convention. Practically his competitors,! while keeping up the appearance of a conte'st, gave the fight up several weeks ago, a fact .which I Senator Quay virtually ac knowledged! when he made his "mys terious'1! visit to Canton, and more emphatically confessed when " Mr. Reed's manager Manley, acknowl filgepubli'cly that McKinley would be nominated on first ballot. There was really no fight against htm at St. Louis, for the ? opposition saw that' Mr; Hanna ha"d a majority of the delegates, that it was useless to contest, and therefore they fell in as gracefully as they could : behind the McKiriley band wagon, i Not being able to capture the nom ination for a gold candidate, they centered their efforts on jsecuring a gold platform to bind the candidate, who had. the reputation of leaning too much towards silver, and in this they succeeded, because Mr. Hanna, who would have preferred a straddle on the money1 question, jfeared a re volt against his c'and (date after the IJirLUlliailUUi dllU -.ItJUlJLIUtb : Jf IVIUbU. As the jrold men now have McKin ley bound by tfie platform, they will, .of course, . support "him as the best they can do, if not cheerfully. ' They can't, of course, get up much enthusiasm for the nominee after their (Unmeasured criticism of bis standing on the money question, and the unstiBted denunciation of Mr. ilanna's corrupt methods in securing State delegations, but will be as en thusiastic as they cm on the plat form jwaeh" in their, opinion, and truly, amounts to much j more than; , the calndidites, for it is he platform: alter an upon which the hgnt must be made' arid the issue decided. p The plan of Mr. McKinley and his backers was to make the tariff the looming issue, but thijs plan was "marred and practically destroyed by the gold men who brought the money question to the front and j made that the issue, and hence the I tariff ; w ill play j only a subordinate I and a very subordinate part in th( campaign and at the polls in Novem ber. "I he gold men made th,er issue f .an'dv compelled Mri'-Hajnaa,3, as the representative of Mr. McKinley, to accept it and to stand upcta it. When they were doing that they were ialso exerting an influence to : shpe the pourse that the Democrats . must pursue at Chicago, ; if there had been any doubt as to that, for a fuailtl VI ullbluOf 1 uub Ul pill? ciple,! the Democratic party cannot afford to echo the' Republ can plat form; on . the money question, and drive in the rut of the Republican band wagon. This would be simply giving away bur opportunity and ac- knowtedging i to the world that the -.'!, ''1 -'!

In fighting the Repub lican party we have always had to fight money; we will have to do it again, and more of it this time than ever before; but if there be the sterT Hog virtue in the masses of the American people that we. believe there is they will ; triumph over this selfish money combine if" the Demo- VOL. XXVII. cratic party defies it and pats itself In full accord with the people. 1 The ticket makers at St. Louis aps propriattly finished their work by giving the second place on the ticket to Mr. Hobart, oi New Jersey; whose chief distinction is -that he is con' nected with a multiplicity of steck companies and national banks, which was a very appropriate thing for a convention to do which was manipu lated by stock jobbers and brokers.; THE WORLD'S ' REPLY." . Yesterday we published an article from the New York World n reply to some reasons which the: Star gave for the i sentiment among the Southern people in favor of the free coinage of " silver, with -- some com ments thereon, but there were some points which our limited space did not permit us to notice. The World reminds us that while ihe fer capita circulation of money was only $18 in 1873, ft is now $23. This per capita circulation is a huge fake. There was not$l8 per enpila of circulation in 1873,! and there is not $23 per capita circulation now; To get such a per capiia they count every dollar outside of the United States Treasury vaults,' when every one knows that' there: are millions hoarded and as far removed from cir culation as it they were locked up in Hong Kong. As a matter off act there lis not a bona circulation of $8 per capita, and take the South as a whole there is not a per capitas of $5i The money is in the country, but, as the Star asserted in i the article to which tihe World, replies, it Is controlled byi the money kings of the East, who through the present monetary system have their grip on the volume of the currency : and control it as their j interests dic tate. ( , . , J : j But, the World asks, how is the free coinage of silver going to help the Southern farmer?, Will not the money kings control he silver dol lars coined if ! they fiid it profitable to do so? We answer that while they might possibly control some of them they can't control the volume of money that free coinage will give as easily as they can control the present volume, for every dollar added to it makes it prdportionately that much the more difficult for them to control it. r Bat it tells us that the tree coinage will be for,the benefit of the silver mine owner, who will take his $52,000 worth of silver bullion to the mint and get $100,000 in silver dollars. There is no truth in that statement, for the day we have free coinage that silver bullion wouldn't be worth only $52,000, but would be worth' $100,000, the mint value of I i the ! 'silver. : .The . ojrner of the ; bullion : woild "get the coins," i as the s World says. That is true, i But what would he be doing with the $100,000 which he got in return fori . his bullion ? Would he get these dollars to hoard them? or to put them into circula tion ? , If to hoard he mip-ht as well KCCp Ulb UUillUIl 1U1 11IC1CWU1U uc uu object in converting it into coin which lie did not intend to use. He would get "the coins." Yes! Does not the owner of the gold bullion when he takes it to the mint get the coins ? This benefits the gold miner, but will the World assert that when the' gold bullion is converted into coin that it does not benefit others as well as the gold miner, assuming as the World does that -this gold goes into circulation? If coining gold helps the country their'so should the coining of silver help it. j There are few, if any, people in this section imbeciles enough to think, as the World seems to im agine, that they would get; any of these silver dollars without giving something in return for them, but there is a belief that this coined silver would seek inveStrnient and that much of It would, be sent into the South, for with free coinage and the; double' standard fully restored there will be no longer discrimina tion against silver in favor of gold and the silver dollar would be as I, ' s : i t - M'n-' I k ' good in all respects as gold. We be lieve that much of j this coined silver would come this way to aid In estab lishing industries, and in developing pur resources, and that it would facilitate the establishment of State banks, if the bank tax be repealed, by making the silver dollars avail able: as a basis on which to issue notes, and for Redemption funds. This talk about driving $600,000, 000 of gold ! out of circulation and reducing the yape of pur green backs and natipnal bank nptes fifty per cent, is too absurd for any sensi ble man to believe for a moment. It can't drive that much gold out of the country, for M isn't here to drive. The most searching investigation has failed to find more than $300,000, 000, and that is not in circulation but locked up. It isso clpsely hoarded that when the Government wants to borrow $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 our go!d manipulators have to secure the co-operation f foreign uold manipulators to get it. And that's the money they are afraid that free coinage would drive out of the I country. I Why would it depreciate the value 1 HE J . - ofthe greenbacks ? Wouldn't they still retain their legal tender quality aad be as good for debt-paying pur poses public and private as coin either gold jot silver ? If so, why should they fall in value ? And why should. the national bank note fall in value when jthe Government is se curity for it and it is redeemable in coin? rt!;Vv :'y::-:-' But why 'the fear that all this would happen) when there isn't the slightest danger of an inflation of the currency. through free coinage, or at the utmost this could not add more than $50,000,000 a year to the volume of the currency, and it is not ikely that what gold there is. in the country would j get scared and run away from $50,000,000 of silver dol- ars. Not a bit of it. The gold wouldn't leave us any faster than it has been leaving us and is leaving us now, and there would be as little danger of "inflation" from the am ount of silver coined, as - little as there was of either or these contin gencies, both lof which were as posi tively predicted when the tree coinage was. under discussion in 1878, and when the Bland Allison limited coin age act was passed. We have beard so much of this kind oi scare talk re cently that we have become used, to As o the folur Carlisle proposi tions whidh the World, in conclusion, commends to! the "free silver men' tbe only thing that saves them from being classed as rubbish is the re- pectable source from which they emanate.. : ; The first is true, but what of it when the free i coinage countries get along as well or better on a silver basis than we do on a gold basis? The second is! true witn a certain qualification. I All the gold standard entries use silver with gold, be cause they can't help it, but. they use only as tittle as possible, and would use less if they could. With them it is a matter of necessity not of. choice. . !... t f' Tbe third is not strictly true for the silver standard countries use gold about in tjie same way that we do, to meet their obligations - with gold standard countries. They may not have any gold in circulation; neither have we. The fourth I is not pertinent, for there is no commercial parallel be tween the silver standard countries and the United! States, which claim to be the most enterprising and pro gressive countrr in the world. No one would expect to find a? much per capita circulation in China, for instance, or Japan, or. India,: or Mexico, as we i ihave in this country, because they are neither great manu facturing nor commercial nations, while this is both, and none of them has use for one-third the per capiia that,we have, i I But the smallness of their per capita s not tbe result of their being on a, silver basis, but of other conditions.' If they were on a -old basis they would have much less per capita than they; have. ; ; .n t -: . The World essays to instruct us, but in doing so! it takes too much for granted, land argues from premises that rest on mere assump tions which have) been too often ex posed to be still so often reiterated.' MIH0& MEHTION. ' " 4aMM An idea prevails to a greater or less extent-that! the sentiment for free silver is confined to the .West and the South, which is, doubtless, attributable! to' the fact that the agi-. tation has been more active in those sections than in the Bast, and that the Eastern conventions, regardless pf party, have declared, fpr the gold standard. But nevertheless, there is in all the Middle and Eastern States strong sentiment in favor of free silver, which is pot cdnfined tp either party. A few days agp we called attention to the vote of the Demo cratic convention in the State of Maine, in, which mpretban pne-thlrd pf the vptes were for f ree silver. And that is in the! far up State of Maine where there has been no agitation of the question. A private letter from a gentleman in Pennsyl vania tells us that the sentiment for free silver is verr strong and increas ing daily in that State, the accessions coming largely from the Republican ranks. Some time ago we called at tention to a statement made by the editor of the Rural New Yorker, that if the silver question were submitted tp the vpters pf New Yprk, as a sep- erate question', on its merits, it would receive an overwhelming majority outside of the large cities. The fol lowing dispatch from Watertpwn, N. Y.. Gov. r lower s home, where a convention was held last Wednesday, weclip from the New York Herald : Regard for former Governor Roswell P. Flower prevented the delegates to the Democratic Assembly District Conven tions here to-day from adopting resolu tions in favor ot the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The silverites had a clear majority in each convention, but the gold men defeated their plans by electing Flower a delegate to the Sara toga Convention from the First district. The silverites then realized that they could not pass free silver resolutions without placing Flower, who is a pro nounced gold man, in an unenviable po sition, and so thev decided to content themselves with sending five silver dele gates to the convention. Judge F. W. Porter presided at the First District -Jr-'. Weekly WILMINGTON, N. 0., Convention hen -Flower and! George C. Sherman and G A. Jerome, silverite were chosen State delegates. Judge - Porter made a speech calling upoa all Democrats to standi by the nominee of the- Chicago Convention, whetber be be a silverite or a gold man. An attempt was made to have free stiver resolutions .passed.; bat-'speeches were made setting forth Governor Flower's position in such an event, and the reso lutions were withdrawn. - ! - Tbe Second Dtiict Convention wiu nessed a fight for silver. The leaders thwarted the majority bv showing how Jefferson couaty '- Democrats had pre sented Governor Fiower as a Presiden tial candidate, and bow unwise it would be to build under him a silver platform A. A. Holmes, John Whaling and S T. iWoolwoith. free silverites, were c'aosen State delegates. - j ' : .This shows how the sentiment is gaining ground in New York, and it must be remembered there has been no organized free silver movement in that Stated ! - . 1 The address issued by the free sil ver men who withdrew from the St. Louis Convention is well conceived, well phrased and in every way ap propriate, with the exception of the suggestion of Senator Teller as a candidate for the Presidential nomi nation. It will be generally admit ted that! Senator Teller has some very strong points, and . that he would be a typical . standard-bearer of a party which made free silver the sole issue in the . campaign, but the suggestion of his name, by the gen tlemen who went out of the conven tion wUh him, and so close upon their retiring, gives the proceeding too much the appearance of a pre arranged plan to bring .; Sena tor Teller; more prominently be fore the country r as a : Presi dential candidates. This wiil have a tendency to diminish the force ot the-address and to impairfSena tpr Teller's influence, because it puts him in the attitude of an aspi rant for Presidential honors, and at least leaves his motives in the course he has pursued open to suspicion. These who know Senator Teller and have kept up with his career on this question will not be thus influenced, because; they know that he is consis tent and sincere, but there are many who do not know his record and these will be influenced by the events of the day and by the represent" tions of opponents, who will make the most! out of every utterance or act which they can use against him. For this reason we think his retiring associates made a mistake in present ing his name as they did. '-- . KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
