we quote: Tissue Legal Tender-Gold

Silver Only a Paliativo-16 to l Don't

the Courier Journal has insisted, free
silver is only a way-station on the
road to unlimited legal tender fiatism.

WE clip the following from the
Louisville Courier. journal: The Mich
igan copper mines have raised the
wages of their employees 10 rer cent.
This must be heavy reading for Gov.
Mckinley. Copper formerly had a
duty of four cents a pound on it, and
later IL cents, but the last Congress
put it on the free list. Instead of de-
stroying the industry, as was predict
ed, this was followed by very pros
porous times for the mine owners, and
now they are putting up wages. The
copper miners are really cruel to the
men who stood by them when they
wanted protection.

bly, more than the claims or the
dictates of party: conviction, be-
comes in fact, the conscience and
the Imperative rule of action OF
honest citizens.
If Mr.. Bryan believe, as many
good and earnest men throughout
the country believe, that bimetal-
llsm is absolutely necessary to the
welfare of this country, and its
people, he would be an unpatriotic
American to give over his princi-
pies and his love of country to Sc
cure mere partisan ends.
Holding these views, Mr. BRYAN
is completely justifable in an
nouncing that, in the event of the
Democracy's adopting monomet-
allie platform, he will not support
the Democracy until the Democra-
cy has returned to a sober frame of
mind; and there are very few re-
Elective members of the Democrat
ic party but will applaud the Ne
braskan. That Brame, however.
and others who subordinate con-
viction to party spirit may keep
themselves easy as far as Mr.. Bry-
an and those of the Democrats who
think with him are concerned; for
it is Mr.. Bryan and his friends
who will vote the Democratic tick
ct on conviction, while the Brames
and others will have an opportuni-
ty of outraging their judgment to
oblige their party.

Party loyalty indeed rests lightly
with him who would abandon
Democracy and attempt to destroy
it because, forsooth, the party
platform or some matter of mere
policy or local interest does not
accord with his individual views.
Permit me to say also that, accord
ing to my humble opinion, any
man, or any newspaper, however
great and influential, that COM
mends one who claims to be a
Democrat for saying that
he will not be bound by
party platform if on social, eco

not accord with his ideas, stands
in the attitude of encouraging bolt

JUDGE BRAME REPLIES,
Jackson Miss. ,June II Il

To the Editor of the Times Democrat
| have read the editorial in your
paper of yesterday, entitled "Prin-
ciples Against Party" While the
reference 70 me individually is, of
course, matter of no consequence,
and while | have no possible CO.
lection TO the use of my name in
discussing the incident alluded to.
since you have referred to me con-
spicuously IN discussing certain
questions involved, | ask that You
kindly accord me a short space for
a reply and personal explanation.
/. AS to the matter of courtesy,
these are the facts: The sound
money league here, of which | am
a member, is Democratic organi-
zatioi and the Bimetalc league,
which opposes us on the financial
issue, is supposed also to be a
Democratic organization. We all
claim to be Democrats, differing
only on matter as to the policy
of the government coz corning its
coinage laws. Our league had en-
gagged the hall for a meeting Tues
day evening. Our meeting had
been advertised. and 1t was to be
addressed by a distinguished Dem
ocratlc speaker. On learning that
Mr.. Bryan would stay over here to
make a speech, we CHI erful'y yield
ed and gave up the hall the only
suitable one in town, in order that
he might be heard by the largest
number Of our citizens. While he
was heralded as a free silver ora.
tor, all assumed, Of course, that he
came as a Democrat to address
Democrats, although in the minds
of some there was a question as to
his loyalty to the party. His
speech. of more than two hours,
up to the time he was Intercepted,
was sucn a severe arraignment OF
our Democratic administration as
to confirm the expressions of those
who had doubted his feaity to the
party. He also stated, il, effect,
that the opponents Of free silver
coinage were controlled by selfish
motives and were hypocritical in
that, pretending to have the coun-
try's good at heart, they were en-
deavoring to advance their own in
terests by enhancing the value and
power of money. During his
speech he stated several times that
he was not only willing to be inter
-ogated, but that he would be glad
to answer any question PROFOUND
ed by anybody, and he laid stress
upon the requirement OF good faith
that every man should be candid
and above board AS to his posi-
ton.

gent appeal to all Of US 70 support

PRINCIPLE VS.. PARTY,

lily MAJ ~
PRINCIPLE VS.. PARTY.
It will have been observed by
readers e the Times Democrat
that, to judge from the account
given in our columns Yesterday of
the so.called bimetalic meeting
held in Jackson, Miss, on Tues
day evening, and addressed by
Mr.. BRYAN, of Nebraska. the au-
dience then assembled, which to a
large extent was tinctured with
goldbuggi,m, or at least portion
of the audience, expressed its dis
approval, in the first place, of Mr..
Bryan because he was disinclined
TO answer categorically the ques-
tien whether, if the Democratic
party were to refuse to adopt a
silver platform at ratio of l6 to 1
he would support the party; and
the next place because, after pres
sure, he properly answered the
question in the negative.
Without dwelling at length on
the discourtesy offered to a stran-
ger, who had been invited to
address the meeting, in his
having been dragooned by coterie
at the meeting to ansNe err a suppos-
iiitiOus question after he had made
known his disinclination to answer
it, We may say without fear or con-
tradiction that the position Mr..
Bryan assumed as between party
and principle compared very favor
ably, TO say the least, with the po-
Htion assumed by his chief inquis-
tor. Judge Brame,
Judge Brame. like the average
goIdbug, holds that tie adoption
BY The American people of the bi.
metallic instead of the gold mono
metallic currency system would
produce chaos in The United States
killing its prosperity and sending
It's industries to hopeless ruin.
And vet, with this conviction of
the destructive consequences of n
change from the single to the dual
standard strong upon him inspir-
ing b,m in fact Judge Brame
would accept the SILVER platform if
q majority OF lbe Democratic party
were to pronounce in favor Of tn,

Judge Brame would adhere to his

After tho Ides Of March.

On the 4th day of March next, at
noon, the Democratic party will sur
render it's control of Congress to
their old time enemy-the Republi-
can, and will thereafter have no con-
troll over the Legislation of the coun-
try. That this party in so short q
time should have 80 completely lost
the confidence of the people of to be
turned out of power 80 absolutely is
a reflection upon the party, the hui
initiation of which cannot be ade-
quately measured or described
However great the calamity may be
to the party or may prove to the
country the responsibility may be
laid almost entirely upon the Presi.
dent and the Democrats in Congress
Whatever relief the people demanded
and whatever legislation was required
was certainly in their power, actuated
with anything like party accord and
harmony. That Congress has prac
tically accomplished nothing in the
period of Democratic power at tim'
when wise legislation and promp
action were most needed, is q blot OF
it's record that can never be obiterat
ed or forgotten.

objection has been made by q single
member, and three times by one man,

Volume "a.

With this issue the Bossier Banner
enters upon its Thirty-fourth volume. !
Although it has only closed its thirty |
third volume, the Banner is exactly |
Ehirty-five years and eight months
old-its first issue appearing on Fri
day, July l, 1859. From September
~, 1862, to July 16, 1865-nearly
three years-the Banner was suspend
ed. With this exception, the Banner
has been printed every week-never
missing an issue from any cause
from it's initial number to this day.
From its first issue to the present
day, the Banner has been owned and
controlled by the writer of this ar
ticle, never passing for single hour
from under his ownership during its
entire existence; but others have
from time to time been employed to
edit and print the paper, which was
under the control of Mr.. Thomas NJ.
Fort, now deceased, when it was fore
ed to suspend in 1862, because print
ing paper and ink could not be pro-
cured for Glove or money" At that
time the editor was in the Confede-
rate army, serving ''the best govern
ment under the SUM-" and obeying
the commands Of Brigadier-G General
Frank q. Armstrong, was helping
"repair the fences" of President JEFF
Davis in North Mississippi and West
Tennessee.
We state above that the Banner
has always been under our control.
For nearly one day, Thursday, Aug.
8, 1866, the United States govern
ment took possession of the Banner
Office, turned the editor out, and put
an armed negro soldier on guard over
the establishment. Asked for the
cause of this proceeding, the military
satrap in command at Bellevue in
formed US that there were only four
teen paragraphs in the Banner of the
week before that were considered
Unreasonable" by Col. Foley, CON-
manding, at Shreveport. Our CO.
partnership with the United States
government, however, was Of only
one days duration, good friends in
Shreveport having interceded in our
behalf, Col. Foley revoked his order.
With the beginning Of its Thirty.
fourth volume the Banner has no new
pledges to make, but will in the fn
ture, as in the past, adhere strictly te
the principles Of true Jeffersoniar
Democracy, which alone is the onl,
safeguard to American independence
Justice to all men, and to labor TO
the welfare of our people, parish ant
State, is our mission, and we leave i
to our patrons to say how we'll it i

We thank our friends for the Cor
