The Democratic State Executive

OF fixing the time and manner OF NOM

question of jurisdiction except that 1t

has no power except TO fix the time, y
but no matter how this may be, am
for acquiesal in whatever they do, and
[ favor sticking together right or

our people want primary election

every thing that comes, but to receive

have entirely mistaken the most
pronounced symptoms OF this case, if
it is not declaration that the masses
of the people cannot afford to attend Il
Convention, Beat, County or State, and
would therefore have to submit it to
chosen few, or else assert their ipdi-
vidual right and ask for primary
election. The average man will say,
II know but little of parliamentary
proceeding, never made "a motion in
my life, the sound of my voice, except
at home, frightens me, and would be
sure to be out of order, but we can all
make out our tickets and surely we
can find enough honest men TO hold
the box and count the votes.
1t has been suggested that possibly
no candidate would receive a majority
of all the votes cast, and it would be
undemocratic to declare "a nomination
on a plurality vote, this is true but it
is far better than to have d minority
meet in convention and make NOM
nation. But suppose we have no ma
jority for any candidate in a primary
election, would this. fact warrant
convention in giving the nomination to
one recsiveing a smaller vote or one
perchance who was not a candidate;
by every principle of reason the man
who receives the largest vote may
reasonably be taken as the strongest
man, at least it is strong clrcum-
stance in his favor, and the friends of
the minority men can at least find no
fault with the party, but must lay the
blame on the friends of the minority
men for not being more numerous.
How in all candor, ask, could a con-
vention determine who should be the
nominee; by what principle would
they conclude that one of the minority
men should have it?
What we in Mississippi, and these
United States want, now more than
ever, is unity and harmony in the
Democratic party.
Let's see how this is to be secured,

equal in value to the amount of
gold in a gold dollar in the markets
of the world, without regard to the
stamp of the government upon it
and vice versa.
"In dealing with the monetary
system of the country, the utmost
caution should at all times be OBJ
served. Money circulates through
all the avenues of business, and
performs the functions of me-
dunn of exchange among all
classes of citizens, from the hum
blest in the land to the most exalt-
ed, and the least suspicion as to
its acceptability, whether among
tradespeople, laboring men or far
mers, will retard its circulation
and cripple its usefulness. Now,
to adjust the matter SO as to pre-
vent the possibility of such condi-
tons as those referred to following
upon a return to bimetallism, and
to secure equal and exact Justice
to the people among whom the
money is to circulate, and at the
same time deal fairly with the
owner Of silver bullion, would
do as the founders of our system
Of coinage did, when they first put
it upon its feet; ascertain the guam
tity of silver at its present market
value, sufficient to be worth the
quantity of gold in a gold dollar at
its present market value, and coin
'itas silver was coined prior to
1873. In other words, ! would
start the mints upon the same idea
upon which they were inaugurated
in 1892. "The law of 1892 had
given the gold dollar just one-hf-
teenth the weight of the silver dol
lar. This proportion which Ham
ilton arrived at, after careful in
vestigatlon characteristic of the
man, was exactly correct at the
time; but, within year, as is now
known, on account of the increase
in the relative valve of gold, the
gold dollar at IS to I became more
valuable than its silver mate; the
consequence was that the gold
brought to the United States mint
fell off year by year until some of
the years between 1920 and 1890
1t dropped almost down to zero.
Gold money had nearly ceased to
circulate, and this was the case
when ackson became president,
and he resolved to restore the vel
j low metal in circulation. The re-
suit was that the so-called cold
bill was carried through congress
in 1884, changing the proportion
of silver to gold in our currency
from IS to I to 10 to I, and the
country was launched upon a new
era of prosperity. If it is true (and
history attests it, that when a sill
yer dollar of less intrinsic value
than a gold dollar was coined. the
gold dollar retired from circulation.
is it not reasonable to say that the
same thing will occur again? Be
sides the experience we as a nation
have had along this line, it is a
proposition which appeals to our
plain reason and common sense.
Then, il we resort to a system
which would result in retiring gold
from circulation we would contract
the currency and bring on such
"hard times" as are incident to a
shrinkage of values.
don't think it is practicable to
effect an international agreement
upon the subject of silver coinage.
