THE Atlanta Constitution accounts for
the success Of the Democratic party in
1892 on the ground Of the party's advo-
cacy Of free coinage Of silver. Nothing
could be more absurd nor further from
the truth. The most diligent search
through the Democratic platform will
fail to ind a word in favor Of free coin
age. Moreover, not one man in hun
dred, when the financial plank Of the
Democratic platform is placed side by
side with the financial plank from the
Republican national platform can tell
which is which. The Constitution urges
its party to stand for free silver next
time, and says if it doesn't, the Republic
cans will Republicans. when they meet
in national convention, viii hardly be
governed by any such considerations
They will put a free silver plank in the
platform because the people demand it.
But it is a favorable omen for silver
when a rivalry to see who can do most
for it arises The people have cause to
feel encouraged.

their natural beauty, would not be

their profitable use. OF. course in

might be predominant but in such
instance the man who helps him.
self in this pablo way is, OF neces-
sity, bound to aid his fellow citi-
zen.
OF course L will admit that Pro-
fessOr Attwater has in his collec-
ton many curios that are not
pertinent to Texas or Texas
interests, but these are Of
general interest and offer better
inducement to the visitor for If he
sees one section he will see the other
and tho end is the better gained.
However, at this wriCing none
are Interested in the foreign speci-
mems and curios. What the peo-
pie want to knows what Professor
Attwater can show of the natural
and industrial resources of our
great state? This is a straight
question and one that demands an
honest answer.
A visit to the exhibition fully
answers this question.
AS there is other pressing matter
for this issue 1 will end this article
here. In my next l shall have the
pleasure of showing the leading
features of the Attwater exhibits,
as far as Texas is concerned, Texas
industries, their extent and value,
Texas resources, and how they can
be utilized.
