On tho quostlon of'lho gold standard
It waa silent. Tho platform' had Judgo
Parkers' approval In. advance.
- For two months and Iwonty days,
the candidate stood on that platform
and said nothing, while his frlonls
hunted for delegates.
On tho morning of Friday, July 8,
the resolutions committee of tho Dem
ocratic national convention agreed
unanimously, after a sixteen hours
wranglo, on a platform which ommlt-
ted all roforence to the gold stand
ard. Dispatches received at Eopus dur
ing tho day and evening contained
this Information and brought tho news
that tho coirvontlon had adopted tho
platform as roported from the corn
mi tteo.
Judge Parker remained silent.
Judgo Parker was nominated on
the morning of Sautrday, July 9. Mar
tin W. Littleton, In presenting his
namo to tho convontlon, referred to
him as a man whoso policy "will be
that policy which finds expression In
tho platform of his party."
Norman B. Mack, tho Now York
mombor of tho Democratic national
commltteo and one of Judge Parker's
supportors at St, l)uls, made a state
ment ovor his own slgnaturo on Fri
day morning, after the nomination, as
follews:
"Tho real slmplo truth of tho fail
ure to put tho gold plank In the plat
form Is this: It would have resulted in
a minority being presented to the
convention, and If that had bcon done
wo would havo bcon bontoa and Judgo
Parker would not have been nomi
nated." On. Saturday morning, July 9, tho
throo loading Eastern Democratic
nowspapora, tho Now York Times, the
Now York World and Hie Now York
Sun), contained odltorials fiercely de
nouncing tho eowardlco of tho conven
tion, demanding that the candidate
should make known his position in re
gard to the gold standard, predicting
Parkop's defeat unlos this was done,
and throatoitlng to bolt the ticket.
After reading those odltorials Judgo
Parker, according to a statement glv
on out at Ksoptis, sent tho dispatch to
Mr. Shoehan. It' was Uien too lato
for tlio convention to name any other
candidate. "
Four yeans ago at the KansaB City
convention when Mr. Hrynn was tho
candldato for nomination, tho resolu
tions committee was sharply divided
upon the question of excluding the
money plank. "Instead of waiting
until aftor the platform had boon
adopted mid tho nomination of himself
had boon mndo." says the Springfield
(Mass.) llopubllcnn (did.), "Mr. Hrynn
promptly sent word to tlio convent km
buforo any action whatovor ha,d been
taken, that ho must not be considered
a candidate for the nomination In
ease the money question woro Ignorod
In the resolution. That was straight
forward and It wan dealing fairly with
all,.. wings and blanches of the Demo
crat lo party."
"It Is a manly thing," said Mr. Hry
an. In his speech, at St. Louie, after the
leadline of Jin) Parker's dlspatuh,
"for a man to uxprew his opinion be
fore the convent Ion adjourns. It would
havo been manlier to havo expressed
It before tit convention met."

STOCK
MARKET
GOOD
Feeling of Uneasiness Has
Entirely Disappeared
From Wall Street
Henry Clews & Co , In their weekly
financial letter say:
New York, July 23, 1904.
Stocks havo shown exceptional
strength during tho past week, owing
largely to the strong support of big
Insiders, whoso operations were un
doubtedly Influenced by good crop re
ports, easy money and tho consequent
better feeling In business circles. It
is worth while, however, stopping for
a moment to consider the extent of tho
advance The active stocks have risen
10 to 15 points above the low prices
of this year, and some have scored
considerably larger advances. Not a
fow stocks are at the highest point of
tho year; and if the comparison be
made with the low prlcesi of 1903, tho
advances are still more striking. This
brings us to tho question, has tho rise
yet reached tho danger mark? So far
as legitimate influences are concerned
it seems as If the advance had been al
most sufficient. Good crops and bet
tor business have been for the present
fairly discounted, especially as both
aro still In tho realm of expectation,
and realization remains a matter of
two or three months. It seems the
part of prudence, therefore, to beeln
to exorcise somo caution In hereafter
following tho upward movement. What
would happen In case of serious re
verses to olthor corn or cotton? Neith
er is yet out of danger. August 13
often a month of deterioration; and
aftor such a prolonged' spell of favor
able weather tho probability of a set
back Is measurably greater. In the
Iron trade a great deal more has been
nuulo out of tho Improvement than Is
justified; apparently for the purpose
of stimulating speculation in tho steel
Iseuos. A turn for the better has re
ally appeared in the Iron trade, and
buyers aro rather moro willing to place
orders slnco thoy aro convinced that
tho decline In Iron has ceased; but
prices aro still veifc' low and tho vol
ume of orders Is far below the normal.
When bountiful crops become a cer
' talnty general trade will assume more
activity, and tho railroads may then
8eo their way to .larger purchases of
ral' and rolling stock; but that will
show In the la-'t quarter of the year,
and not In tho present quartor, al
though there ha9 certainly beeji suffi
cient lmprovomont lit tho Iron Indus
try to warrant a more hopeful feeling.
Moro attention has beon paid to for
eign complications than thoy de
served. Russia Is altogether In too
strained a condition to Invito sorlous
troublos with Great Britain or any oth
or great power. Sho Is fully oceupIeJ

than additional enemies. The war has,
moreover, ceased to be a factor In
Walt street, except In event of large
additional loans, which would Inevit
ably cause a shifting of Investments
and firmer money In the European
markets, all of which would be Indi
rectly felt at this center.
We havo enjoyed another week of
admirable crop weather, and experts
now figure on 2,5000,000,000 bushels
of corn. 11,500,000 bale of cotton and
G25AWO.00O bushels of wheat, these
figures allowing for the fact that con
dition of cotton and corn may fall off
somewhat during August, As pro
ducers are generally securing profit
able prices even 9-cent cotton yield
ing more than an overage profit It
follows that Interior merchants should
experience a reasonably satisfactory
season; for In spite of Industrial
growth tho agricultural Interests are
still the backbone of our national
wealth.
All indications point to an active
market. As said above, tho advance
appears to be all that is Justified by
natural conditions; but manipulation
is a factor that must always be consid
ered In stock market movements, and
tho recent rise has had the help of
very powerful Interests, who may, If
they choose, easily carry prices to a
still higher level, or completo long
delayed deals that must have Im
portant effect upon values. As the
market rises profit-taking grows, and
tho consequent changes of position
crea'o a more even balance of opinion
that conduces to activity. There has
alieady been a considerable expansion
of tho short Interests ready to take
quick advantage of any unfavorable
developments. Very soon crop de-
