Why He is a Democrat.

why \ ID bOl4OSAaSs
The New York World recently Offer
ed prizes to the three persons who
could state most clearly and logically
in 600 words or less why they were
Democrats. Judge Frost, of Chap
man, Kansas, was awarded the second
prize and this is why Judge Frost as
well as many others + Democrats:
First am a Democrat because the
principles of Democracy are in per-
feet harmony with the fundamental
principles of this government of ours,
a government of the people, by the
people, and for the people.
Second am a Democrat because
the principles of the Democratic party
are opposed to monopolies and trusts
and all combinations against the gov
eminent of the people.
Third am a Democrat because
the principles of the party r not
sectional, but national. They are
broad enough to extend to every par,
of this great nation of ours; they
know no north, no south, no east OF
west. But we are in favor of equal
rights to all, whether high or low, rich
Or poor.
FOURTH am a Democrat because
the Democratic party is in favor OF
state rights of the people thereof and
opposed to the Capitalization of power
by the general government.
Fifth am a Democrat because the
political principles Of the Democratic
party are about right, much better
than the political principles of any
party that l ever knew, Republican
party included.
SIXTH am a Democrat because
this government and the people have
always prospered much better under
Democratic administration or rule
than any other.
Seventh am a Democrat because

The World's interview to-day with
Congressman Newlands is of peculiar
interest and significance.
Mr.. Newlands is Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the National
Silver party, the chosen executive
head of the movement for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to 1.
He gives the up He sees
clearly that for the present at least
the crusade for cheap money is hope
less.
And he sees the reason. Reviving
business prosperity has put an end
to the craze. Men who are busy at
profitable work do not spend their
time in planning a coin d~ebasement
that may ruin the prosperity in which
they have a share.
Such crazes are always the outcome
of discomfort, and with prosperity dis
content disappears.
II is a good time while prosperity is
with us to subject our currency svs-
tenn to a thorough, scientific revision
and to rid it of the features which are
always a n to the general well
fare and an Reuse for wild cheap
money schemes.
Congress at its next session ought to
provide for a competent non-partisau
commission to consider the whole
subject.

VEST AND SILVER.
Alleged That the Herald" Story
Originated in Talk With
Tarsney.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 1s.-Sen-
ator Vest was quick to deny the re-
port published in the New York Her.
aid that ne had changed his policy on
the silver question. The Republic
correspondent to-day received the
following note from the Senator:
Gilsey House, New York, Sept. IS,
i have just arrived, and my atten-
ton has been called to a statement in
the letter from Washington to the
New York Herald of the 18th inst
that had changed my views on the
silver question and had so informed
someone at Carlsbad. There is not 9
word of truth in this statement, and
hope you will SO write to your paper,
I entertain the same opinions on the
silver question and am for free coin
age and against the single gold stand
ard. Truly,
G. G.. VEST.
There is much speculation here al
to the source of the rumor. That il
was put genuinely in circulation here
there is no doubt. 1t is understood
that Senator Smith, of New Jersey
who met Senator Vest at Carlsbad, re
ported in Paris, in the presence of ex.
Speaker Crisp and Mr.. Tarsney Of
Missouri that the Missouri Senator
was in doubt as to the result of the
silver campaign and rather inclined
to think that the extreme silver mel
could not control the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. This is the basis
it is alleged, for the report published
in the Herald. 1t is further said tina,
Mrs. Tarsney gave the information to
the newspaper man on which the
Herald's dispatch was based.
Senator Vest arrived here late this
evening and retired to bed imme-
dIately. 1t is now understood that he
intends returning to Missouri without
delay.

featuring and Planting Company of
Louisiana. A mandamus was asked
compelling Secretary Carlisle and In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Miller to
proceed under the law awarding sugar
bounties, Notwithstanding its repeal by
the new tariff law. The case was brought
as test suit. An appeal to the United
States supreme court ia yet open to the
planters, the case having gone against
them in all inferior tribunals.

Those TariR Complicatlons.

WASHINGTON, Jan. What action
congress will take to end the growing
tariff complications between this gov
ernment and European powers, or
whether any measures will be adopted
for that purpose, are questions clouded
in uncertainty. Considering the i'm
portance of the tariff war to commercial
interests, the attention gwen it by con-
gress is noticeably slight.
Chairman Wilson recently introduced
bill in accordance with the recon-
mendation in the presidents message to
repeal the one-tenth of a cent differen-
tial on sugar which evoked protests from
Germany and Austria, and which it is
stated inspired retaliatory action by the
former government in the form of pro-
hibition of importation of American
beef. But it is not altogether certain
that the ways and means committee
will report this bill to the house. Mr..
Wilson was asked about the prospects of
the bill, but did not speak enthusiastic-
ally of them. He said the remaining
time of this congress was very short and
there would be great pressure on the
the committee for allotments of time for
various bills.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois said if the ways
and means com mittee would propose to
re-enact the reciprocity system which
congress had obliterated with marked
discourtesy to foreign governments par
ties thereto, as well as to the detriment
of American business, he said sarcastic
ally, that the republicans would cooper
ate with them heartily.

THE FUNDING BILL
An Amendment to Carlisle's
Currency Bill.
HALF A BILLION BONDS PROPOSED
sib1ey of Pennsylvania scores Cleveland
for Trampling on the Prerogatives
of the People.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The first busi-
ness in the house today was a resolution
from the committee on rules authorizing
the appropriations committee to insert
clause in the sundry civil appropriation
bill.
Debate on the currency bill being re-
sumed, Beltzhooven, democrat, of Penn
sylvania, gave notice of an amendment.
It proposes a section to enable the secre-
retary of the treasury to fund treasury
notes which may be in circulation after
the first of August, 1895, which were
issued under acts of February 25, 1865 ;
July IL, 1892 March 8, 1868, and July
IA, 1890, by issuing bonds to an amount
not to exceed $500, 600, 900, redeemable
at the pleasure of the United States after
five years, payable in twenty-five years
from date of issue, with interest at 8 per
cent, payable semi-annually in gold.
The bonds are to be of such denomina-
tions, not less than 500, as the secretary
may determine, and to be sold at not
less than par for gold or for treasury
notes.
The members hocked around Sibley,
democrat, of Pennsylvania, when he be-
gan a characteristic address against the
bill. He was applauded when he said !:
''If ever rebuke was needed for one
who has attempted to trample down the
prerogatives of the people, it is needed
for him who has attempted to usurp this
entire government to himself. The time
has come when there should be some
thing more than brace, belly and brass
to this government

bread, After hooting the government,
the procession went to the dry docks
where is the berth of the British war
ship Tourmaleine, which was sent here
to help preserve order. A committee
boarded the ship and represented to the
captain that they and their families
were starving. They insisted that the
government should feed them. They
threatened to take the necessaries of
life from the stores. The captain in
timated that such attempts would be re-
pressed with strong hand. The dele
cation finally withdrew. Starvation is
becoming more general daily. Lady
O'Brien's committee started two soup
kitchens today.
