THEY CANNOT DO IT.
Cleveland ley Hie Party Must Hot Demand
Free Coinage.
In mply to a request from thn New York
Herald for a statement concerning tun lieino
nratle situation, President Cleveland sent the
following to that newspaper:
"I have no figure a to the probable act
Ion of delegates already chosen or to Ihi
chosen to thn liemoorntln national conven
tion, but I refuse tn believe that when thn
time arrive for deliberate action there will
be engrafted upon our liemoerntlc ornod a
demand for thn free, unlimited and Indepen
dent eolnngn of silver. I cannot believe this
because know thn Himioeratln party is
neither unpatriotic nor foolish nnd because
It seems dear to me that such a course will
Inlllet a very great Injury upon every In
terest ol our country, which II has Isseu tbn
mission of I'onioornoy to advance, nnd will
result In lasting disaster to our party organ
isation. There Is llttln hope that a a means
nf success this free silver proposition, after
Ita thorough dlaciisslon during a political
campaign, will attract n majority of thn
voters of Ihn country. It must l-n that many
of the li)yslojis lunueiiiingtbose no relying
upon this alleged piiuncen for their Ills, will
bn dlspollod before the time coiiins for them
to cast their ballot which will express their
aolsir second thought. Thn adoption by thn
Oomoernoy of this proposition would, I be
lieve, glvn to our opponents an advantage
both In thn present and future which they do
not deaervn.
".My attachment to true liemocrocy la so
strong that I consider Us success as Identical
with the promotion of thn country' good.
This ought to account for my anxiety that
no mistake be made nt our convention. In
tny opinion no effort should Ins spared to o
i'lim such action nf thn delegate as will
avert party demoraliratlon. It is a place for
consultation and comparison of views, and
those liomonrats who Issllevn In thn causn of
Hound money should there bo beard and be
constantly In evidence.
"A causn worth lighting for Is worth light
ing for to thn nml. If sound money lieino
crnts suppose thorn la danger of a mistake
being inado such danger should stimulate
their activity In averting It Instead of creat
lug discouragement. I am very far from ar
rogating to myself a controlling Influence
upon thn policy of my party, but as uu uu-
l flinching Oomocrat, who hn boon honored
by his party and who delres hereafter no
greater political prlvllegea than to;occuiiy tbn

not he blamed for saying this much nt this

SIGNS OF A GAIN.
Btooke art Higher and Wheat and Cotton
Are In Better Demand.
II. O. linn Co'., Weekly llnvlnw of
Trade, says:
Thorn nrn continued signs that a gain In
business bu begun. Htocks havn gonn high
er than they worn before the artificial break
ten days ago, wheat and cotton am In Issttor
demand, there Is morn confldnncn In mone
tary circle, and the tendency toward shrink
age In great Industrie seem to some mea
euro at lat to bn el knd.
While thn outcome of thn democratic con
vention Is uijonrtnlfi and thn grout crops nrn
not yet wholly beyon 1 danger, n sure and
strong Improvement could hardly be ex
pncteii, hut thn tone In business circles bas
grown distinctly more hopeful.
ileyond the lull nonce of tbl general hofev
fulue, nothing appeared to justify the ad
vance of l-'ic in wheat, a-4c In corn and
V ic In cotton, ami reaction started In nil
these with taking of prollt Thursday.
The advance in cotton, also, bud no vis
ible cause In crop pr'stect or movement,
though receipts at port have been light
Accounts still indicate a large yield, and thn
most substantial news of a hopeful nature I
that thn tone lu manufacturing circles Is
morn chaining.
Textile manufactures do not gain and thn
assignment of a large worsted mill Is thought
dun to sc cauae rather than to the gen
eral Influences which curtail or temporarily
stop tho production of many others. There
IS rather morn hopefulness, widen Is telt in
arrest of tbe decline f wool; price are no
lower than on June 1 aud sale do not In
crease. Manufacturer await order which cloth
iers hope soon to give, but are not yet ready
and the only change la price nro decline of
6 to 10 per ennt In price In some very low
grade good. Tbe only change in cotton i
s reduction in bleached shirtings la standards
to the loweet price ever reached.
The change discloses no new weakness, but
a belief that the time ha come when sales
can lie afflicted by reduction, aad large sale
are now reported. Htocks of dealers are be
lieved to tie so low that replenishment would
now make a great change In tbe condition of
the Industry.
Tho waiting In Iron and steel brings a
slightly lower average of prices the lowest
since April 1, and only I.S percent above tbe
lowest of the year, though the combinations
make no change In quotations. Beatus am
quoted delivered Instead of at mills, but
numerous contract are kept hack; consump
tion of wire nail at current prioe has so de
clined that American wire rods are offered at
competing prices In England.
