A DEMOCRATIC PAPER ADMITS

st. Louis Republic, a strong
Democratic paper:
1.-THE announcement that
there will be no silver legisla-
ton at the session Of Congress
is not unexpected, but it is in
the name of nonsense to say
that this inaction is in any way
due to the inaction Of the
ssBrussels International None
tary Conference" That Confer
ence, which is now an lnternaz
tionaI laughing stock, was nov
er intended to be, or expected
to be, anything except a hum
bug for campaign purposes. AS
both parties were afraid TO
make free coinage issue a lead
ing one in the campaign, both
consented to conference with
Europe, knowing that nothing
could come of such Confer
ence."
Notice that paper does not say
that it expected much from the
Conference. but is disappointed,
but has the cheek now to say
that the whole thing "was new
er intended to be, or expected
to be, anything except 8. hum
bug for campaign purposes"
The same paper further ad-
mits that "both parties played
the coward and hypocrite "were
afraid to make free coinage an
ISSUE"
The editor of this paper made
precisely that charge during the
late campaign, and dear read Ell

speakers who met me ON tine

charge? But we don't blame
them much, for they were sim
ply saying what the machine
told them to say and maybe
too they believed it. But they
should be blamed If they dom

litical machines that stoop K

PARTISANS MUST NOT READ
THIS.

During the late campaign
the partisan papers and politi-
clans of the Democratic ma
chine tried to appropriate the
thunder of the Alliance by
tnrning to be regular "calamity
howlers" themselves. They ad-
mitted that everything we said
about the hard times being
largely due to discriminating
and oppressive laws was true,
but they claimed that they were
not responsible for it, that the
"monopolistic, thieving and
damnable Republican party"
did it all. They said: "give Us
the President. the House and
the Senate all at one time and
we will wipe ont all these bad
laws and see that equal and ex-
act justice is done every citizen,
rich or poor" They further
said, cit is true we had the
House and the President, but
that bad Republican Senate
stood in our way and killed ev-
erything we tried to do for the
people, when they were saying
that they evidently had forgot
ten that the Democratic party
had had one House in every
Congress with one exception
since 1875. but let that pass al
