Coed Old Democratic Doctrine.

From the Troy MOI Free Press
We have been reading the solemn
declarations of free silver advocates
for several years past that the price
of wheat has always been measured
by the price of an ounce of silver;
that the price of wheat would never
advance until free coinage of silver
should be had in this country. Wheat
has been jumping up every day for
the past few weeks with great regu-
larity and, very strange to say, with
out having been caused by an in
creased price for silver, that commod-
ity having remained at about the
same price it was when wheat began
to rise. How we long to hear some
good old Democratic doctrine about
the law of supply and demand reguia-
ting the price of everything just such
doctrine as Vest and Cookrell used to
proclaim from every campaign stump
in Missouri.

end the Secretary of the Treasury
should be authorized by law to coin
from time to time, as the people may
require them, silver dollars until the
demand of commerce for money below
the denomination of $40 is ut all times
satisfied.
6. We realize that our national bank
ing system was adopted during a time
of war, and that it is not adapted to
existing conditions. We, therefore,
favor such legislation as viii secure TO
the people a system of banking sur
rounded by such safeguards as will at
all times furnish them a safe, elastic
| and sufficient currency for the trans
action of their business.
Z. We cannot too highly commend
the %unfagging courage and sturdy
patriotism of President Cleveland in
his efforts to protect the national
honor and TO maintain the public
credit during a period or great hnah-
cial distress, and under conditions
which threatened danger to both; and
we congratulate him and the entire
country on the evidence of returning
prosperity.

TIE Mexico LEDGER fails to see a
single reason for calling a State Con-
vantion this year. More than this,
tbera is 10 question but that such an
urrrecedented movement would be
unwise and result in serious detriment
to the party. This paper has no other
nossible interest in the matter except
that the best interests of the party,
and through the party those of the
country, may best be subserVed. IL

will only be a year until our next reg
ular conyention. 1t appears that there
are those who are anxious to nnlsn
the work which some of them have so
successfully begun. They appear to
be desirious of making Missouri hope
Iessly Republican. There are politi-
ciansw who are bowling day and night
for some kind-any kind-of a con-
~vention because they feed on discord
in the party. There are others who
want office and think they see a
chance to distinguish themselves.
There are still others who have be-
lo1eed to all ''side show" parties,
which have ever existed and now want
to bring the grand old Democratic
party down to the same level. In this
mart of Missouri the rank and flo of
the party want a rest. They want to
study the great questions now at is
sue so as to act intelligently at the
right time and to some purpose.
They want to be sure they are right.
They know they cannot afford to
make a mistake at this time. a con-
yention now means nothing but chaos
and discord. No results can be ac-
compiished. There + no delegates
to be elected, no nominations to be
made. The platform will be made in
1896. 1t cannot be made sooner. Sup
pose we have q convention III Audrain.
Does it meal anything? Does it bind

good reason for its being called? 1t

ana faithfully fighting for the princi-
pies of Democracy as expressed in the

tinue SO to do, no matter what hap

From the Montgomery City Standard.
Wheat has again advanced, and was
quoted above 50 cents. Andt this too,
without the tffree and unlimited coin
age Of silver.n 1t was stated, though,
that the big frost and a scarcity of
wheat were the cause OF the advance.
Wonder if our friend of the Centralia
Courier will attribute this advance in
wheat to the present Democratic adj
ministration's financial policy. III we
mistake not, that paper said IL was
"Cleveland and his clerk, Carlisle" or
| words to that effect, that caused the
| decline in the price of wheat, through
their actions Oh the silver question.
And il they caused the decline in tho
price of this cereal of course they
caused the advance by the same sub
tie reasoning. Or else the decline vas
caused by the surplus and the advance
by the scarcity Of the commodity, and
we trust the Courier viii be able 10 e
clearly cow which is to blame for the
last advance.

credit for it. If it is the business idea

WILL MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Senator Faulkner Talks About the
Silver Movement.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 23.-Sen-
ator Faulkner OF West Virginia
has always been known as q
friend of free silver and at one time
he was openly declared 10 be in favor
of free coinage. When silver was
demonetized in India, however, tMr.
Faulkner came to believe that it would
be folly for the United States alone to
open her mints for turning the silver
of the world into legal tenders with a
result, he thought, being only practi-
cable by some international agree
ment. Speaking Of the silver move-
ment to-day, he said:
sTThere has been an attempt to call
a silver convention in West Virginia
this summer, but l do not think it will
be successful. l opposed the move
ment as being ill-timed and useless in
a year when there was no national
convention to which delegates couid
be sent. Even some of the free silver
newspapers have declared against the
convention and inquiries sent to lead
ing men throughout the State have
brought out adverse opinions. I'm
d~oubtedly the national Democratic
convention win make some concession
to the silver men, but this concession
will not be for free coinage. believe
that some satisfactory arrangement
will be made for the recognition of
silver, so that the Government may
not at the same time b. c:pbarrassed.n
