AMERICAS foul WOMEN.

For some years the rich parvenue
class of women in America have
made almost open bids to marry
anything from Europe that had a
htle, and that had customary title
to wear pants. Decency, morality,
character, have never entered into
these deals Anything that was
called "Lord" or "Duke" has been
eagerly snapped up by the daughters
Of rich Americans, and the parents
OF the daughters have usually paid
immense sums for the grand privil-
eye OF having those daughters called

NO LONGER A QUESTION.

And the New York State Demo-
cratic convention and the Massa-
chusetts State Democratic conven-
ton have met and declared for the
gold standard and endorsed the
Cleveland administration. The New
York convention showed q dash of
defiant impudence and arrogant in
science. 1t demanded the destruc-
ton of all treasury notes, and the
issue Of bonds which bonds will be
taken by the banks, and on these
bonds the banks will issue bank
notes and thus get complete control
of the financial system of the coun-
try. Yes; and the Democratic party
lis the party of the people," THE
CAUCASIAN will give any man who
will tell a bigger lie than this in the
same number of words 500. We don't
make this offer to encourage lying,
but we would like to know if it is
possible for anybody to out lie some
folks who call themselves Democrats.
We don't think SO.
Ten State Democratic conventions
have been held this year and eight of
them declared in favor of the single
gold standard. Only one has de-
clared for silver and one split wide
open on the question. Those de-
claring for the gold standard are
Kentucky, Iowa, Maryland, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and Massachusetts,. The one
declaring for silver is Mississippi.
The split occurred in Nebraska. In
that State the silvermen were in a
majority at the regularly called con-
vention and adopted a silver plat
form. Then the COLA standard gang
bolted-went off and put up q little
HI of its own and whooped for the
fiery, gold metal. -
In the face of these facts, how
how much sense must a man have
to perceive that the assertion that
the democratic party is the party
of silver" is false9 Honestly now,
don't you think second-class fool
can see that is lief ,s,I.
1t is no longer a question as to
whether the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver can be secured through
the Democratic party. We know it
cannot. The past record and pres
ent declarations of the organization
constitute a more emphatic decla-
ton of this fact than can be made in
words. The question for every
man now to decide is whether he is
in favor of financial reform or not.
If he is and intends to work for it
and vote for it, he cannot possibly
take the Democratic party into con-
sideration except as q factor that
must be fought. ,f.a , .a.
s.
We do not believe that the con-
ventions have reflected the senti-
ments or expressed the convictions
OF the people generally. They have.
however, made plain the policy of
whatever and whoever constitute the
organized partyism or "machinery"
Of the Democratic party. The "party"
is > therefore represen ted by these
conventions. If individuals are not.
then individuals who desire and de-
mand q recognition of their views
and principles must seek an organ
lsation thraHgh which their views
can be and will be represented, or
else act the part Of muzzled cur
and collar wearer.

Every railroad in the United
States ought to be for the free coin
age of silver. It would largely
increase transportation in the
country and the ability of the peo-
pie to travel, etc. And every rail-
road that is not owned in Wall
street or Europe or controlled by
foreign capital is for the free coin
age of silver. The railroads control
a good many newspapers in this
State, This is why SO many of
them oppose the action of the silver
convention.
