Show THE INDIANAPOLIS MONETARY CONVENTION It will not be long before the Indianapolis Indian-apolis monetary convention meets It I is said that it promises to be a success I so far as numbers are concerned But I numbers alone do not make such conventions con-ventions a success The character of I the delegates has very much to do with it The topics to be discussed will be I the financial condition of the country the causes that have produced it and how a proper financial system can be established That which the Indianapolis convention conven-tion will undertake to do will be practically prac-tically to fight the late campaign over I I I again It may come to some conclusion conclu-sion entirely different to what the people generally have reached as to the causes that have produced the present financial condition of the country But when the convention has got its conclusion con-clusion what will it do with it It may then formulate some plan that it I thinks will remedy all the evils the country suffers from and it nlay be a perfect remedy but how will it get its plan into operation The congress of the United States alone can put it in operation and that the congress will hardly do It will be a congress that is not pledged to any monetary reform further than to maintain the present gold standard It will in all probability probabil-ity meet in extra session so soon as Major McKinley is inaugurated but for the enactment of a new tariff and not for the reform of the currency i The Indianapolis monetary cpnfer ence mav result in some good it is quite as likely to result in harm all this of course in the event that the people take any interest whatever in how it results The probabilities are thai the gentlemen who attend the Indianapolis monetary conference as delegates will have their labor for their pains and nothing more The convention conven-tion will scarcely have any interest even as an academic gathering |
