The new bhuetallbt party orxau ici in thin county last Monday. The leading spinlt of the uew organ- Issttion has but out) plank, the unilui iteil coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Now just why populisU bolt their party for this new gml U not plain, or why free silver democrat should bolMheir great national party that at Chicago declares for free all vr coinagH Is without reason. It would be easy to understand why sound money administration demo crats should bolt but they do not flud it neci-saary. to organize a new sound money party. It is, too, hard to un derstand why silver republicans par ticipate in thin new side show. To the spectators at last Mondas mass convention, there was every appear ance of an attempt to get an advan taire some way by the assumed leaders. IlKMOlKVrH I'l.iTr'OKM.

IIOIIAltr AllKI'IS THK li- mon. A commiltif from the Ht. Iiuls convention olllcially notiticil U. A. Ilohart, of New Jersey, of his nom ination, by the repulilicans, for the vice presidency. After acknowledg ing the honor conferred and accept ing the iiouiiUHtioli he said: "Let me add tiiat it will be my earnest elfort in the coming tilin paign to contribute in every way pos sible to the success of the party which ive represent, ami which as to the important i-siies of the time, stands for the best interests of the people. "ruierlainty or instability as to 1 1 to money question involves niont serious eonsciucncen to every interest and to every citizen of the country. The gravity of this question cannot tip overestimated. There can be no linaucial security; no buisncKS stabil ity; no real prosperity w here the xil icy of the government as to that question is an a mauer oi uouui. (old is the one standard of value among enlightened commercial na tions. All financial transactions of whatever character, all business en tcrpriscs, all individual or corpora' lion investments are adjusted to it An honest dollar worth 100 cents everywhere cannot lie coined out of VI cents worth of silver plus a legis lative tlat. Huch a debasement of our currency would Inevitably pro duce Incalculable loss, appalling (lis. aster and national dishonor. "It is a fundamental principle In coinage, recognized and followed by all tli" statesmen of America III the past and never yet safely departed from, that there can only be one basis upon which gold and silver may lie concurrently coined as money, and dint ba-is is equality, not in weight, but in the commercial value of the metal contained in tho respective coins. This commercial value is tlx .si by the markets of the world with which the great Interests of our country are ncecssirily connected by innumerable bu-.iue.ss ties which can not be severed or ignored. "(rent and self-reliant as our country is, it is nr. at not alone with in its own borders and umn its own resources, but becau-e it also reaches ait to the ends of the earth In all manifold departments of business, exchange and commerce, and must -uMaiuuilh honor its standing and credit among the natiousof the earth " The question admits ol no com promise. It is a vital principle at -lake, but it is in no sense partisan t sectional. It concerns all the peo ple. ( lurs, as one of the foremost nation-, mu-t have a monetary stand ard equal to tlie best. "It is of vital fon-cqticucc that this, question shouid be settled now, iu -uch a way as to restore public con lidencc here and everywhere in the integrity ol our purpose. A doubt of (hit among the o h.r treat com mercial countries of the woild will not only cost us millions of money, but that which as patriots we should iiiM-.ur.' more highley, our industrial and commercial supremacy. "My estimate of the value of a pro. tective policy has Ihs-u formed by the study of the object lesson of a great indu-triil state extending over a a-riod of tin years. It D that pro tection not only builds up important inilu-trics Irom small Is'innings, but that those and all other industries ll hi i irtl i or laiigni-h in proportion as pro! cell hi is maintained or with drawn. 1 have seen it indisputably proved that the prosperity of the f irmer, un i ti.uit, and all other class, es of citl.c h, g.s-s hand in hand with that of th.' manufacturer and rue. chanic.

I'KEK I'OIXAUK Or IKOX. The New York World prints following valuable suggestions forward bv Alex. P. Hull, of the put At- lanta, Georgia. Hull says: Having been deeply Impressed by the arguments of Judge Crisp.Bryao, Stewart, Jooes aod other ailver lead ers, and especially xrleved and shocked and horrified by the awful crime of '73" as so luridly depicted daily in the columns of the Atlanta Constitution and other silver organs. have changed luy views on the money question and am ready to maintain the propositions following in joint debate or newspaer contro versy . I accept the arguments of tho ad vocates of sliver and agree with their remedy so far as it goes. However it does not go far enough. lt us have plenty of remedy; in fact, enough to make debt and poverty things of the pastrelics of the dark ages. 1 am In favor of the free and un limited coinage of pig irou at a ratio uf 1(1 to 1 with gold by the United States alone, Independently of all nations, and can prove by the best authority obtainable that such a pol icy on the part of the United States will "raise prices," "put plenty of money lu circulation" aud gi ve tlie "honest debtor relief," making the whole country prosperous. "Now, In the first place, it may lie urged" by some who do not under stand the subject of standards of val ue "that a free coinage act for iron would not raise Its price to a ratio of IU to 1 with gold." To them I reply "the stamp of this government" and the "legal tender qualities" of the Iron dollar would Instantly make the bullion value ol pig iron the same as the mint value. "For who would part with and ouuee of this precious metal for anything less than the mint value?" Htewart, Jones and Bryan. Again, it may be urged that our mint would be over crowded with pig iron having been raised from 7.&() a ton to 4 ratio of lrt to 1 with gold the world over no one would es- ieclally care to carry it to the mints since the mint price could be obtained anywhere In the open market. At lanta Constitution. ' , Next, It ma be urged that gold and silver would go out of circula tion. I reply: first, this Is a mere assumption of the tools of the money siwer which they cannot verify." Atlanta Constitution; second, "Sup pose gold and silver do go out of cir culation, Is there not plenty of pig iron to take their place at.d give the the people plenty of money?" Bry an; third, "that such an assumption mixes the Idea of circulating med ium and standard of value that gold and silver would still be potential money metals, though not iu clrcu latlon, and would leud their help towards raising prices and causing generel prosperity." Crisp. Then again it may be urged against the pig iron standard of value that wages would not raise lu proportion to prices. The reply lr: "Wages would be compelled to rise since no man would be fool enough to work for tl who could make $1,000 per day picking up rusty nails and old horseshoes and carrying them to the mint for coinage." Hull. In addition, it may be urged by the money power, by the "Wall stmt sharks" and the "Bond street shylock" that we could not alone go on a pig iron basis without an inter national agreement. "To such das tards as dare lo lay a limit to the power of the American peoplo to do what they please, Independent of all nations, 1 hurl their cowaidice and lack of patriotism back in their faces." Bryan. A ruinous fall in prices followed the demonetization of Iron and has continued for upward of two I ho. is years. 1 have calculated the losses entailed upon the honest peoplo of this world by that ruthless act, but the figures are so enormous I fear a revolution will ensue If the tieople learu how greatly they have been robbed. But facts are facts, and the best w ay to right a wrong Is to meet it squarely. "That loss is ill,. OOO.IHlO.lHHI.OlW.OOOHVIOIVMHMHIO." Coin's Financial bchool. In conclusion I Insist that the free coinage of pig Iron will do every thing that is claimed for silver and infinitely more. The people will be rich and pneroiis. The once ioor man can pay his debts w ith bis old stove. lUilroads can declare divi dends on old rails and worn out .rolling stock. The small law can pick up old nails and horseshoes enough to xupport his fainitr. In fine, siverty and debt can no longer ex'l't. i i -ii i The unseating of the Michigan irold delegation bv lb .llvor .-.In,. wing of the deuincralic party In the Chicago convention is an outrage that Is condemned hy many sliver demo, crats themselves. ill (Bls W 1'ltlltiltnrit -!
