W. j. Bryan has made his great jour
ney across the country. speaking much
along the route, eliminating with his
great grand stand play on Wednesday
evening at Madison Square Garden,
New York, with his speech of accept
ance, which was unquestionably the
greatest effort of his life. Bryan
has attained his greatest political as
cension, his career will henceforth
wane, until election day his race for
the presidency will be classed with
that of Greeley.

Many of those who are supporting
Bryan are thoroughly ashamed to be
counted as democrats -though they
are nothing else. They insist that it
is a new democratic party. But that
dodge will not work. The old demo-
Gratis must elect Bryan if anybody does,
and they are mostly for him. Have
the democrats in this immediate neigh
borhood 'c%hanged' any? Well. not to
any noticeable extent. They all sup
ported Cleveland four years ago, and
they are about all supporting Bryan
now. They have the same notions
upon political questions that they al
ways had. 1t is the same throughcut
the length and breadth of the land.
and still when you quote the demo-
cratic record to them they throw up
their hands in holy horror and declare
that that IS the record of the .old'
democratic party, Grover Cleveland's
party. which they do not care to cham
pion, but "we are simon-pure now; we
are down on past corruption, We favor
a change. we are Bryan democrats
And then when we think that Bryan
was IN ardent Cleveland man himself
four years ago, like all of these demo-
Gratis that we all know intimately, we
wonder if they really know where they
are at. These same fellows made con
gratulatory speeches after Cleveland
was elected and have been applauding
him ever since-until they discovered
it was best to let go the hold and grab
for a new one. They did so and caught
hold of a different limb entirely. but
they are the same fellows. Don't let
us forget that fact for a minute, and
should they chance to elect Bryan the
same gang will be in control as has
been for four years past. The same
people continue to manipulate democ
cracy in South Dakota. and SO do they
in every other state. True they have
smiled sweetly on the populists;
smiled just enough to captivate the
chiefs of the pops and finally caught
the whole m%enagerie. But does that
purify democracy? Admitting that
populism was pure and innocent of
wrong; that its policy was just and
right, would the fact of their throwing
themselves into the muddy slough of
democracy purify the slough? Will
pouring a pint ofpure water into a pail
full of muddy water purify the whole
pail full? Not that anybody knows of.
Its the same oldparty, the same old
mule"

That honest and w%ell-meaning popu-
lists have been bambooZled into gulp-
ing down the democratic party, wheth-
OF they enjoyed the dose or not, or re-
gardless of their opinion as to its effects
upon them, is now apparent. The poll
tical sharpsters of their organization
sold out the straight-out populists to
democracy, and now men who have
been strong anti-democracy are being
forced to swear that they like it. But
they don't; and they r not going to
unanimously swallow democracy just
because they are told to.

THOUGHTS OF THE rH1NKgks.
p1scoyrREp IN rHr HrRAnp,s !

DISCOVERED IN THE HERAlD's jar.
The following is an editorial from
the London Financial News (goldbug):
"There is aplain moralin the remark
that il the United States wouldventure
to cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back and
the command of the markets of both
countries. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of a GUS
tom house. The bond of silver would
be stronger than any bond of freetrade.
There can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were to adopt a silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American would b eprotected, not only
at home but in every other market.
OF. course the United States would suf-
fer to a certain extent through having
to pay her obligations abroad in gold,
but the loss of exchange under this
head wouldb be ameredropin the bucket
as compared to the profit to be reaped
from the marketsof South America and
Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The
marvel is that the United States have
not long ago seized the opportunity. 1t
has been a peice of rare good luck that
1t has never occurred to the Americans
to scoop us out of the worlds markets
by going on a silver basis, and it might
serve us right If, irritated by the con-
temptible apathy of our government
toward the silver problem, the Ameri-
cans retalisted by freezing out gold, it
could be easily done."-Hot Springs
