If, says the leader , the gold standard be a good thing, why do its advocates fa Tor its dethronement by internation al bimetallism T Again: If inter national bimetallism be honest, how ran Independent bimetallism be dis honest T II ere is the Utter, which appeared in Monday's issue of the Journal: "In answer to your inquiry, I sub mit some of the reasons which lead me to believe that the money ques tion presents an issue which is still paromount in importance. In the platform adopted at Chicago the Democratic party said: "Recogniz ing that the money question is para mount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution named silver and gold together as the money met als of the United States, and that the first coinage law passed by Con gress under the Constitution made the silver dollar the monetary unite and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio baned upon the silver dollar unit." After thu3 elevating the question to the place of supreme importance, the platform proceeded to point out the (fleet of an appreciating dollar, and declared the unalterable oppo sition of the party to the gold stand ard, characterizing it as both un American and anti-American. The platform Hpecifically demanded : First The free and unlimited coin age of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to J. Second That the standard silver dollar be made u full legal tender, qually with gold, for all debts, pub lie and private. raising prices. If a ftll in prices is an advantage, then a rise in prices cannot be desirabb ; and if, on the other hand, a rise in prices, wheth er 'obtained tbrongb independent bimetallism or through an interna tional agreement, is good, then the fall in prices caused by the gold standard must be admitted to have worked an injury. The fall in prices, extending over the last twenty-five years, has, in fact, been disastrous to the prodncers of weilth in every gold standard country of the world. France (now den ire to 'abandon the gold stapdard; the German Iteichstag declared for international bimetallism in 1895; the farmers and laboring men of England are now protesting against the gold stand ard. Can any Democrat deny that the relief from tbe gold standard is imperatively needed Should the Democratic party abandon the po sition it has taken on the side of tbe masses in this world wide contest? The stand taken by the Republi cans raises tbe most important ques tioc that can confront a nation, namely, the right of the people to legulate for themselves, pnblican platform is the form which ever declared in favor of repealing the Declaration of Inde pendence. The platform expressly transfers from America to Europe the rijht to determine the financial policy of the United States. Accord ing to that platform, the American people should seek international co operation in restoring bimetallism, bat must maintain tbe gold stand ard until that co-operation is secured. The Republican plan is to invite for eign assistance, bat while we may invite, European nations are at erty to refuse the invitation, they have thus far done so. The Re publican platform therefore, means that we must have the gold stand ard as long as European nations fa Tor the gold standard, and can haye bimetallism only when they consent to it. tho purchasing power of aa oanee of gold throughout the world and lowered toe general level of priets, while tbe same legislation has les sened the demand for silver and low ered the gold priee of that metal. They contend that tbe restoration of its free and unlimited coinage by a great nation like the United States will increase tbe demand for silver to a point where the mints will require all the surplus silver of tbe world, and thus, by raising the gold price of silver and lowering the purchase power of an ounce of gold, will restore tbe parity at 1G to 1, and thereafter maintain tbe parity at that ratio. It is true that some bimetallists do not believe that this nation alone can maintain tbe par ity at that ratio, but shall the great majority who do believe surrender their conviction to tb comparative ly few who dcubt Upon what prin ciple can a minority demand of the majority the right to dictate a plat form!

No considerable body of men ask for any other specific ratio. One man says 20 to 1, another 24, another 32; bat all the objectors together are small in number when compared with those who firmly believe in the ability of this nation to maintain the parity at 1G to L. If it is proposed to leave the ratio to Con gress, it mast be remembered that those who desire bimetallism demand affirmative action, and every one op- lib- posed to the ratio fixed in any pro- and posed bill will be counted against any kind of bimetallism. If the ra tio is left to be determined by Con gressmen who run upon different platforms, it gives a chance for a va riety of ratios, which will effectually prevent any legislation favorable to bimetallism, and will also give a Katlate Crop Oaa-Vaartli aad It Will aad Cotton Boaadiag ay aad Prod ace LIvalT Scrambla Adibi Spla..ra to Tnrlr aata. The Augusta Chronicle thus sum marizes an article of Mr. A. B. Shep person on the cotton outlook: Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson, in the current number of Textile America presents some of the hopeful feat ures of the cotton situation. He teisons out that the p'atjuog of a small crop this year will send up the price or cotton in toe spring re materially, and that u is possib that the year may close upon re munerative prices, despite the fact that it is generally conceded this will be a record breaking crop. Mr. Shepperson's own estimate is about 10,4:10,000 bales. Ue calls attention to tbe fact, however, Jthat though a million&nd a half bales more of American cotton had come into sight at the close of January than at the cor responding date in 1897, there were only 453,000 bales of American cot ton in the world's visible supply more than the year before, showing how large proportion of the increased receipts had been consumed by spin ners. Mr. Shepperson takes the view that the shut down in the east will not materially affect the year's con sumption. He assumes that it is The recent events have demon- chance for friends of the cold stan-1 v, j;i j j vorable conditions, and the s rike is only of small proportions. The result of the strike he says, has been to pat up the price of print cloths one-eighth of a cent per yard, and this would justly an ad vace of one- half a cent pound in the piice of cotton. . a . a a ne argues mat tne only reason a big crop should depress prices is be cause it is in excess of legitimate de mands, and piles up a. big surplus supply that is continuously pressing upon the market for immediate sale. To prove that this condition does now exist as seriously as in 1895, Mr. Shepperson says though the re ceipts of American cotton have been 484,000 bales greater than in 1895. yet the visit 1 3 supply of cotton, of all kinds, is half a million bales less. These conditions, he argues, are much more favorable to an increase in prices than those of 1895 ana yet in that year cotton rose in New York from 5 in Febru ary to 0!i cents in October. This was the enact ot tbe redaction ia acreage that year by the farmers. The crop of J 1895-'90 was 2,700,000 less than the crop of the previous rno" T' It a voa-1 it nf i An a? 4-Vi a a rr silver plank, the division line be- of financial policy, they can threat- again in the mire of ambiguity and KMg - Q ag tQ . indicatio"s tween those who favor independent 1 en such a withdrawal to prevent the deception would alienate those who Q rnn nnn Hia rf(;n ; year's crop, says Mr. Shepperson, would send cotton bounding up and Third The enactment of such leg islation as will prevent for the future along other lines. the demonetization of any kind of le gal tender money by private con tract.
