Practice the Golden Rule,

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MExICo, Mo, Jan. I've no.
ticed in the Prairie View items last
week where the screaming infant
was mentioned. We think that was
uncalled for by the correspondent as
we think there was crowd enough
there to hear the child without pub
fishing it. We thought the Prairie
View correspondent was a good
Presbyterian and would take the
Christian side Of it,and not saythings
she would not come to us and say.
The writer is very sorry the child did
disturb the congregation, but We at
tended the exercises and baby's
cries were not the only thing that
made it disgusting. We would adj
wise some n to practice reading
writing before they attempt it. l
sometimes go by the golden rule
"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you"

VEST ON THE SITUATION.
If Democrats Expect 10 Accomplish
Anything They Aust BE Up
and Doing.
Extraet frola letter to a st. Louis friend

Extract iroLa letter To 4 ST Louis friend.
No one has ever seen any SUCH
DISCRIMINATION and decentralization
as can be found now in this city
among Democrats. 1t painfully re-
minds you OF a shipWreek where the
officers have lost all control and
every man is looking out Tor HIM
self. This is the inevitable result OF
the overwhelming defeat We sui
fered in November, aud | do not
SEE any hope in the future except
from the inevitable trend OF events.
/ do not believe that the people OF
the United States have repudiated
the principles of the Democratic
party, but they simply resented the
business arrangement and depres-
sion and struck at the party in
power just as they did at the Re-
publicans in 1890 and 1892. Our
friends, the enemy, are in no better
condition really than We are, and
their ablest leaders know it. They
are fully aware of the fact that the
people expect relief from the recent
election, and they are also aware
that the Republicans can give no re-
lief. 1t will not do for them to
make the excuse that the President
is a Democrat and will veto any
laws passed by the two Houses OF
Congress. 1t is we'll known that
Mr.. Cleveland sympathizes with the
large majority Of the Republicans
az To financial matters, and this
| question is at the bottom Of all
others in the near future. The
Eastern people, without regard to
party, favor the single gold standard
and the West and South favor
bimetalIism. A large majority of
the Eastern people, without regard
to party, favor a tariff for protection
and the West and South oppose
this doctrine.
If the Republicans IN Congress
attempt to remain passive for the
next two years they will be over
whelmingly defeated in 1896. do
not see how theycan Go anything in
the way of legislation which will give
relief to the country, and, to state
the matter plainly they have"Iniuns
on the lower road and certain death
on the upper"
The serious question outside of all
political considerations is as 10 what
We can do in the way of reforming
our financial system. Under present
conditions the Government is a great
bank without the ability to protect
its gold reserve. The Treasury is at
the mercy of the banks and specu-
~lators, and it seems impossible to
have a majority agreement as to any
system of finance while the battle is
raging between gold and silver.
Here is the great difficulty before
both parties. q. O.. VEST.

Bur O few years ago the people Of
the west were using corn Fer fuel be-
cause they could not eat, feed or
sell the sarflns they had on hand.
AT the same tims there was II short
age of the crop in the south and a
corresponding shortage of the bread
supply. Now the conditions are
changed. In many parts of the west,
Nebraska in particular, the farmers
are on the verge of starvation while
there is . superabundance of corn in
the south which the warm hearted
people are ANXIOUS to ship to their

in q deplorable condition and ade-
