when We talk about free silver
we must recollect that this country
was for eighty one years prlor to
1878 practically on a silver bssis.
This country fought the war of 1912
the Mexican war and the war of the
rebellion under silver. The opposi-
tion to it is knavish and speculative.
By pronouncing against silver and
driving it out as currency the pur.
chasing power of gold is increased,
and that is what the rich are after.

THE MAJORITY SHOULD RULE.

There is a determined effort on
the part of the silver democrats of
this state to have a convention this
summer to ascertain and declare
the party sentiment on the money
question. A majority of the State
Committee is opposed to the calling
OF such convention, and it is safe to
say that no such action will be tax
en- unless forced to do SO by over.
whelming public sentiment express
ed in vigorous manner.
No action taken by convention
this year would be binding upon the
party in its campaign a year hence.
The only result it could accomplish
would be to declare semi officially a
condition that the sound money men
and ready to concede without such
contest, namely, that the free
coinage sentiment at the 16 to l
ratio is largely in the majority in
the democratic purity of Missouri at
this date No matter what the party
action this year, the issue will be
sharply drawn and fought to finish
in the state convention of 1896
The silver advocates probably
reason that an overwhelming major.
ity in a convention now would en-.
courage and assist them in the fight
year hence.
This might be true, and, on the
other hand, it might have just the
opposite effect, by exposing their
strong and weak points to the op.
position, and lulling to sleep in fam
cied security the advocates of the
white metal while the 'sound money
advocates made a strong, vigorous
and possibly effective campaign
SO far as we are concerned, indi-
vidually, we have always believed
that majority should rule. We
believe in this as one of the funda
mental principles of the democratic
party If it is made plain to the
state committe that majority of the
democrats of Missouri want a con
vention called this summer, it is it's
bounden duty to call it, no matter
what may be the opinion of the in
dividual members.
