The Democrats have a great deal to
saw about Thomas Jefferson. and IN
so far As they glOrify his abiSity. his
integrity and his patriotism. the Re
publieans can have no quarrel with
them. All good citizens can neadlly
Join in praises of the man whS wrote
the Declaration of Independence and
founded the University of Virginia,
and who a also an agreeable anna
teur fiddler. But the trouble Is that
these men who are now making so
much use of his name and his pscord
do not represent him in a faiF and
Just way They persistently garble
his observations and distort their
meaning in such a degree as to make
him seem only dishonest. but ri
diculous- It is very certain that # he
were alive to-day he would nOs in
dOrse- the Chicago platform, paH.icu-
larry that part of it which relatsS to
the money question. He had some
thing to. do with that problem in. his
day. and we know that he did. not
advocate any such scheme as the n
to which the Democratic party Is now
that he ever favored the idea of DELHI
eratelw. substituting cheap money for
money Of thf= highest value. or of I'M
dertaking the folly of doubling the
market price of y product by legIsla-
ton.
So far as the matter of silver is-eon-
cerned.. Jefferson is really about the
poorest witness that the DemCssats
could sumnRn on thei' side. u is
true that he helped to frame the irst
coinage law in 1872, by which the
ratio.waS fixed at Il to |, that being
then the difference in actual market
value between the two metals but
it is alsc. true that in 1906
he issued an official order as
President ~suSpending the coinage sill
Yer dollars. That is to say he
''struck down sill 5er. as tine Demo

fashion. and no more silver dollars
were. coined for over thirty gears.
There was never = more high-Eanded
instance of demonstration than that.
1t far surpassed anything that has
been lone in that line by John
Sherman on Grover Cleveland The
great crIae" of ISL was committed
in the form sf an act Of Congress that
was pending for three years. and was
fully discussed, special attention be-
ing directed to that part of II which
was to mt u stop to the coinage of
silver dollars: but jefferson did the
same thin" in 1896 by Il ~pes44mptory
order. giving No chance for the ques-
ton to BIZ debated. and no warning of
the sudden assault upon the white
metal. When. therefore. The Demo-
Gratis invoke the shade OF J4trerson TO
justify their bitter remuneration of the
act of i>I3, they place him in the at
tltuGe Of condemning himself for "a
similar and certainly mor4 harsh ana
headstrOng proceeding. He was a
demonetizer of silver, and not a cham

France is noteworthy. The Democratic.
candidate says that the Bank of FRANCE

is notes in either gold o. silver. aud.
for I'll that, he adds goiu ana silver
aave the same value in France. Mr.
Bryan omitted to say that IL the

3-franc pieces are no longer coiued in
