Com" the man who put financial fall
lacies in most readable and attractive
shape is now out advising democrats
what to do. He wants a combine of
populists and democrats. The platform
is not to be too democratic. Whatever
democrats are chosen are to have popu-
listic leanings.
When the democratic party comes to
that pass that it is to have as It's coun-
selor a crank ard an adventurer, and
must accept the views of blackguard
such as Fillman is, and an anarchist as
everyone comedies Altgeldt to be, it is
time that some steps should be taken to
purify 1t, even If by fire." Those who
have been devoted to the principles of
genuine democracy will not abandon the
party nor permit it to be the playthlng OF
Harvey, Tillman and i,ltgeldt. There is
likelihood that the oOunsels of these
men will prevail at the Chicago conyen-
ton. II so. the convention is not demo-
cratic as it Will have ignored democratic
traditions. The living principles not the
utterances OF false representatives consti-
tute bases OF the party.

MCKINLEY has been officially notified
of his nomination. Just as was expected
"the platform meets his unqualified APP
prevail" So it would had it declared for
free coinage at the ratio of l6 to l, IL fact
there is a well grounded suspicion that
the approval, in that event would be
much more sincere.
His speech Of acceptance deals almost
exclusively with the tariff. A high pro-
tective tariff is the panacea for all our
ills. He INDUCES IN considerable bonn
bast on American wages and the restora-
ton of the home market and other platI-
tudes, but fights shy of the financial
question, that which is attracting general
attention and which is clamoring for
solution. This candidate of great party
simply touches upon this question in a
general way and satisfies the public long
ing for an unequiyocal expression of opin-
ion by saying the "the money of the Unit
ed States must be as good as the best IN
the world" So say the populists. What
money? How make 1t the best ID the
world? The times demand specific state
ment not unmeaning generalitles.

MCKINLEY in his reply to Chairman
Thurst on says the people know what
they want Possibly they do, buc they
certainly have no clear idea of how to get
it. There never was such blind cropping
before. Mckinley is the beneficiary of
this unsettled spirit and the aimless seek
ing for they know not what. 1t is no
time for man fit to be president of the
United States to indulge IN the language
of fiattery. The times need action and
not compliment. Mckinley's speech is
just what his record iustIfee, glittering
generalities aud craze on a protection
tariff. The democrats may be wild on
the silver question, but that is no more
seneless than the rush to the Idol at Can
ton

THERE is one fact becoming more ap-
that ls, that this country is too large and
the interests of sections too conflicting
for harmonious administration of public
government extends its functions beyond
affording protection to the individual IN
the exercise of his rights, it invites
sectional differences and demands which
cannot be complied with. The interests
OF the western states have become antag-
onlstic TO those of the east, although
naturally Complementary, because of the
policy of the government to foster certain
Industrial lines.

% The commercial and the coin value

Editor Of the Pilot"
After reading the article in The Pilot
of June 10Th which concludes with the
following sentence:
Those who remain true to sound
money ana opposition to extending
special advantages to any class are con-
serving the principles Of the democratic
party" L came to the conclusion that
you are opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver because you deem such
special privilege or advantage to a
class. As you are advocating sound
money gold standard.1 | can not refrain
from asking you: Is law STIMULATING
that only gold shall be money or the
basis of money, and that 22.3 grains of
gold shall be a dollar, not a special
privilege to the owners and producers of
gold and does not such a law extend
special advantages to a class?
Very respectfully
