TRANSPARENT POLITICS

The Democratic organs are laying
great stress upon the fact that their
party has always been the friend OF
silver This would be the time TO set
up their claim if it was true, but il
is not. 1t is a simple matter or his
tory that there has been little difference
between the two parties on this ques-
ton. Up to this year. both parties
have worked OF their platitudes about
the use of both metals, but never fail
ing 10 wiring in a few high sounding
phrases about honest money. The St
Louis convention was the first to show
its hand against the use OF silver as
standard money, and from that they
took the cue 10 adopt the opposite
policy. That they did this over the
protest OF a strong minority, and that
it was only the accident of having a
majority that enabled them TO adopt
a free coinage plank. is plainly evil
dent This majority was not large by
any means, and therefore not the best
authority on the Democratic idea. 1t
shows rather that the leaders were
forced TO it simply to antagonize the
Republican idea The party goes be-
the new fund faith which il sets forth
as its historic devotion to silver. 1t is
a most ridiculous travesty upon the
truth for a party which elected goldbug
n1ot r1a% oil
wanted free coinage. 1t is the old
Democratic trick OF trimming sail for
favorable bretze. They waited for the
enemy to define their position and then
resorted to the old habit of protesting.
The evident purpose is to catch Re
publican free silver votes, but they
will fail in this. True to their instincts
they Numbered in selecting candidate.
He achieved his first notoriety in con-
gress through rank free trade speech,
from which his measure will be taken
by the people. The meaningless junl-
BILE about tariff for revenue with Incl
dental protection is only an after
thought, directly opposed to the views
of their candidate. His speeches in
congress vii be taken as his true sen
timents, not the twaddle of this clever
tariff straddle. Nothing is palmer
than that this new found enthusiasm
for free coinage all dates from the ac-
ton taken at the st. Louis convention
The question will be fought ont on its
merits in time. 1t may not be this year,
but If the double standard is right it
will prevail in the end. There is GER
tainly little to encourage it in this at
tempt Of mere party faction to en-
force doctrine they have never advo-
Gated before-a doctrine which they
espouse for the sole and only purpose
of getting votes.
