Gold ana Silver.

There seems to be demand for an
international monetary conference, to
see what can be done with silver as a
money metal. Free silver, by interna-
tional agreement, is the only thing the
silver men can hope for. The United
States can never maintain it alone and
unaided, jackson News.
And it is very doubtful if interna-
tional agreement can maintain -ree
and unlimited coinage of silver, at the
ratio of 16 to l, on par with gold.
And it is still more doubtful that the
civilized nations of the world will ever
enter into such an agreement. But If
they shuuld do SO, what is known as
the commercial world" has way OF
it's own of estimating values, and the
edicts or agreements of Nations do not
affect the judgment of the commercial
world. If there were neither gold nor
silver. the commercial world would
find some other measure OF values, or
some other medium for the exchange
of products, and the trade ard bnsi-
ness of the world would rock along as
usual.
1t is not likely that England will
ioin the movement for an international
agreement as to silver; it is also prob
able that some of the other great Ma
tions will hold aloof from it. There
fore the people of the United States
might as we'll adapt themselves to the
gold standard. The Nation has, prac-
tically, always had the gold standard
H. has that standard now, and will
continue to have it. And 1t is wise
and proper to have gold standard

Double Standard.

The New York Journal of Commerce
treats of the resolution in the German
Reichstag last week in favor of anoth-
er international bimetallc conference.
That paper says:
1.-The silver debate in the German
Reichstag on Saturday is worth little
analysis. The advocates of the double
standard were the large landed propri
etors who are seeking By duties on
grain and meat to make the cost of liv-
ing higher for the masses of the peo-
ple Furthermore, these landed pro-
prietors believe that the double stan
dard would increase prices and so keep
out foreign grain and meaG, while our
farmers are interested in increasing

Cleveland for '96.

The Post predicts that Cleveland will

President His recent display of firm
ness and good sense in taking prompt
action to maintain the currency Of the
nation on par with gold, has brought
down upon his able and honest head
nearly rs much denunciation, villifica.
tion, and foolish criticism, as did his
famous silver letter. We take it that
the large majority of the people of the
United States are possessed of COM
mon sense, honesty, and patriotism.
If this be true, Cleveland will be sus-
tained and appreciated. The business
men North, South, East and West
respect and admire Cleveland, and
have full faith and confidence in him.
The political demagogues, the Popn-
lists and Sub-Treasuryites, the Ocala-
lists, and the Populistically inclined
newspapers, entertain the erroneous
ideas that they can "fool the farmers
and build up free silver cheap money
party. The Post has always combated
this idea, and has given the farmers
credit for having more good sense than
to be deluded by the free silver asser-
tions of Bland, PETER, CoxeJ, Jerry
Simpson, and others of that ilk. The
real farmers of the United States will
be found as much in favor of . sound
currency, as the Business men,
The Republicans respect and fear
Cleveland We mean fear him, as far
as the success of their party is con-
cerned. A great many Republicans
however will support Cleveland for
President, in preference to Republi-
can if the latter wavers the least (as
Tom Reed has) upon the money ques-
tion.
Cleveland is the only man the Demo-
Gratis can nominate with a reasonable
hope of success; he will be nominated,
and sufficient number of republicans
will come over to the Democrats to in
sure his election. n.-Vicksburg Post.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-Se Several things
in recent issues of the ADVOCATE have
inspired me with a wish to break my
long silence and once more address my
constituency-the readers of the AD-
vOCATE.
Why do Populists persist in messur-
ing the growth of Populism only by the
increase of the party voteP The party
is not Populism any more than electric
wires are electricity; and as there is an
inexhaustible supply of that mysteri-
Gus force which the wires cannot use,
so there is a vast amount of Populism
not manifested by votes-as yet. l
wish we could once become possessed
of the truth that the principles we con-
tend for are not party principles, but
human principles; that the interests
we stand for are not class interests,
but the interests Of mankind; that our
cause is not mere Craftsmanship, but
philanthropy. We ought not to care
how, nor through whom our cause
prospers 80 that 1t be won at last; and
though our vote should diminish, in
stead of increase, we should be as en-.
thusisstic as ever for our party because
of the great work of agitation it does.

lighting plants, water works, and much
else in this direction, is agitated more

becomes the owner of one of its public

city just as completely as If they had

On Dec. 2, 1923, President Monroe
transmitted to congress o message in
which he set forth what he considered
the proper attitude of the government
Of the United States toward the young
REPUBLICS of South America and the ma
tions of Europe to which the people of
those republics had formerly been sub
iect. The passages referred to were gem
orally approved by the voters Of the
United States both because the senti-
ments embodied seemed sound and be-
cause they were uttered during the so
called era of good feeling, when there
was but one political party, previous
issues of contention having died out
and no new one having arisen.
So thorough was the Endorsement of
Mr.. Monroe's Inference that 1t shortly
came to be termed 'the Monroe doc
trine,' and as such has received the in
dorsement of nearly every one ever
since. Just now a great deal is being
said in the newspapers about this doc
trine, the chief occasion. being the sus-
picion that England is about to do some
thing in Nicaragua and Venezuela that
