ugly animals that have worried our
contemporary's sensitive mind during
the last year or two, It will, In our
opinion, make a terrible mess of Its
business. Those creatures, after all,
are nothing but men who lutve got
ahead In the world and become wicked
enough to lend money to others who
needed It and promised to pay for tts
use. The country can got along with
out these men, of course, but It will be
difficult for congress to restore “confi
dence" and get hoarded money In cir
culation while the process of smash
ing them is going on. Congress will
do much better tf will simply study
the interests of the country, forget all
about British dictation and the gold-
bugs, and be guided by common sense,
Instead of prejudice.

The oapadty which men have

Independence of Bnglnnd.
’A day or two ago the Telegraph said
that “It sounds patriotic for congress
men and editors to demand that this
country be made completely Independ
ent of England; but fortunately or un
fortunately, countries cannot be inde
pendent of each other which exchange
every year a billion dollars' worth of
the products of their Industry. We can
be completely, independent of England
only when we quit selling to her our
cotton, wheat, etc., and stop buying
from her the goods we need and are
yet unable to make for ourselves.”
To this the Atlanta Constitution re
plies;
Our contemporary states a eoltd fact
here, but neglects to draw the obvlou*
conclusion. The interdependence de
scribed la not as mutual ns It might be.
England Is compelled to hsve our cotton
and wheat. She cannot get along with
out these staples. On the other hand, is
there any necessary of life produced by
England that the people ot this country
are compelled to have? If ws could not
get along without some English product
there would be interdependence between
the two countries. This country Is in
dependent of England to tho txtent that
we are not compelled to buy any staple
product that la produced there. But
England, as a purchaser of our cotton
and wheat Is not Independent ot this
country.
The obvious conclusion Is that England
Is not now and never was In a position
to dictate cither the political or tho tiitatt-
ctal policy of this country Neither la
this country In a position to submit to
the dictation of England or of Europe,
especially when this dictation lias for Its
purpose the cheapening of our cotton and
wheat. The people will not submit to
It. Should It become necessary they will
sweep away all existing parties and post
pone all other Issues in organism* re
sistance to European dictation of our
financial policy. They will not permit
foreign money sharks to fix our money
standard to suit their plana of Interna
tional robbery.
The truth of the business this . coun
try Is In a position to dictate the finan
cial policy of Europo. It stands alone,
the most powerful and tti* roost pro
gressive nation of the worn, and when
its mints are open to stiver that metal
will be redeemed from the degradation
which aylock legislation In Europe ha*
placed upon it.
We do not quarrel with the state
ments of fact In the above. We be
lieve it to be true that ours Is the most
powerful and progressive of nations,
and that we have a great advantage of
position over England, which la obliged
to buy the greater part of the bread’
and meet Its people cat. It follows
that England is not In a position to
“dictate" the financial policy of the
United States, and we have not • the
least fear that It will do so.
But our contemporary’s conclusion
does not flow from the facta In the
ease—baa no relation to them. In fact.
England m a whole haa not attempted
to dictate our policy, never will, and
probably core# very little what policy
our govqrnjnent adopts. Individual
Englishmen, however, who lend money
In this country at a lower rate of in-
tercet than anybody else will do, nat
urally desire to be sure that when they
lend gold, the world’s money, they will
reoetro gold to return. If any dictat
ing haa been done it was by these men,
and consisted of nothing more serious
than an effort to get their money out
cf danger or a refusal to lend mere
until assured that liiey woull receive
ns good as they gave. This k'nu of
dictation is possible by 'he feeblest
stripling to the strongest giant, If the
giant will refrain from emptying ibo
weakling’s poet/fi* by force, or by the
most insignificant nation to the strong
est, and we do not suppose our ern-
temporary Is In favor of sending a fleet
lo Europe to extort loin* every time
this country Is In need of money.
This couu'ry will never be so pow
erful or prog.'eit.v? that it can compel
other nations to trade with
any more than la profitable
them. It takes two to mak
trade, and this fact should al
ways he reraciblierej in makiug laws
that affect comm tree and finance. We
have already don? m-jca to Iralld np
great cotton and wh.-at growing indus
try In InJ a and Egypt by olnirncting
trade between tbit country and Eng
land. We made it difficult for English
men to bay co:i?a sad wheat in ibis
country by making It difficult for them
to pay for those necessary articles
they looked Ter other starves of supply.
If we increase their difficulty
taking to the use of a kind of money
which they cannot profitably nee and
by the same means make them nnwOl-
•«* «o lend ns their spare capital,
is probable that they win be Injured,

We understand the constitu
tion to favor the free coin
age of silver at the 16 to 1 ra
tio. without regard to whether the sti
ver dollars thus coined would be “of
equal Intrinsic and exchangeable value"
with the gold dollar, without ‘inter
national agreement" upon a eommqn
ratio, and without “such safeguards
of legislation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity of the two met-
nls and the equal power of every dol
lar at all times In -the markets and in
the payment of debt" Without these
conditions the Democratic platform
docs not favor free coinage. An at
tempt by a delegate from Colorado to
Induce the convention to insert the
word “free" in the pLitform failed, the
vote against the amendment being
overwhelming.
We think It can be said with per
fect truth, therefore, that the man or
newspaper that demands the free coin
age of silver and Ignores the condi
tions Insisted upon by the convention
docs not stand upon the Democratic
platform. If we have stated properly
the position occupied by the Constitu
tion—ond we have endeavored to do
so-then that paper does not stand
squarely upon the platform.
Nevertheless tt has endeavored for
months, by constant reiteration, to im
press upon the minds of its readers
the Idea that the Chicago platform
mean* the unconditional free coinage
of silver and can mean nothing else.
Laying down this false premise first,
Its whole argument Is based upon It,
The assumption that men and news
papers wbo understand the platrorm
to mean exaotly what It says and In
sist upon its promises being fiilUtled
to the letter arc nt best only semi-
loyal to the party naturally followed
ond the Constitution has not been
■lew In making it.
We think the course of our contem
porary very unfortunate for the party,
which Is entitled to a free discussion
of the great sliver question and of the
attitude of the party towards It on
fair statement of the facts. A differ
eut policy may result in victory for
a faction in the party but cannot fall
to greatly Weaken the party itself.
The compromise between opposing
views made before the election for the
purpose of gaining power cannot be
honestly or safely Ignored by the par-
ty now that power has been gained by
means of It.
Tho spirit of which we complain
further shown by the following from
different editorials of the Constitution
within a-few days:
In other words, the Express takes the
position that the way to prorldt money
for moving the cotton crop is to strike
down and drive out ot circulation half
our present volume of currency. It
would relieve the financial ttringency, not
by providing more money, but by forcing
the people to get along with less.
There are congressmen and editors who
are advocating blmetallsm and voting the
other way. Many of them declare In
one breath that they stand on the rhl-
cago platform, and In the next they en
dorse the president’* measure. Reformers
claim that there Is not enough currency
In circulation, and then propose to strike
down one-half of our present volume.
No faction, no party, no man pro
pose* "to strike down und drive out
of circulation’,’ the silver half of our
currency. The passage of the Wilson
bill would leave every dollar of it still
In elreulation. It is to this half that
we suppose the Constitution refers, if
we are wrong-lf K is the gold half of

could get at the mint, and the mint

the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1 to 1 or 5 to 1, or any other, would
be Just os safe as at 10 to 1. Without

By calling in the 16 to 1 dollars now
In circulation and recoining thorn at

thus provided could be Increased to a
superabundance. We ask the Constitu
tion to point out the fatal defect In
this plan.
Till a few weeks ago the mints of
India, a nation of 280,000,000 people,
coined silver for anybody who pre
sented It, making every ounce Into le
gal tender money worth about
$1.87 1-2. We ask our contemporary
to explain why tho product of Nevada
and Colorado mines was sent to lsm-
don during sevehil years, to bo told
for 80 or 85 cents an ounce. Instead of

doubtedly be large, for the railroads have
made extremely favorable rates for ten
days and already ono can notice a great
Increase. Indeed, the attendance has been
gaining rapidly for the past fortnight. It
Is quite appropriate that Illinois should
have tbe grandest display, for the is right
here, as it were. Indeed, a little over one-
half of the state’s entire population lives
In an area from any part of which the fare
at regular rates Is a dollar or less. Chi
cago, however, declares her Intention to
best the state when her own day comes
and that- will be on the twenty-second an-'

hundred miles found tho conntry thickly
settled only along the streams and groves.
Almost every dny we would journey for
hears without coming near n house nnd
crossed many tracts seven or eight milts
wide where there was not a rod of fence or
