From the Pulaski County Democrat.
Whatever the outcome of the finan-
cial question in the national democratic
convention may be, the duty of MIS-
souri, democrats is clear. Their admin
istration of state affairs has been
excellent, even beyond republican
criticism. Surely no democrat wishes
return to the days of republican ex-
travagance and mismanagement. In
national politics the democracy of Mis-
souri, is for free coinage, and the state
should be held for free coinage and not
turned over to the republican party,
party unalterably pledged to the gold
standard and a high protective tariff.
Moreover, free silver is going to win
ultimately. 1t is going to win through
the democratic party, because it is a
democratic principle. The opposition
to free coinage IN the democratic party
is no greater than was the opposition
in the same party to a reduction of the
tariff when that question first came
before the people. We all remember
how tariff reform was defeated, but
the sentiment in its favor steadily
gained ground. At last Its friends
gained strength enough to put the
issue squarely before the people and it
swept the country. So will it be with
free silver. The sentiment for 1t is
growing at a wonderfully rapid rate.
At this stage of the agitation it only
needs patience and time to wilma
patience that trusts in the capability of
the people to rule, and that will rise
triumphant at last over all defeats.
Battles ere not won either by a divided
army or by desertions. They are won
by united armies composed of men who
will stand by their guns and turn tenn
perary defeats into victories. Above
all things we should remember that
Rome was not built in A day. There
is labor before us, there may be defeat,
but there Is ultimate victory for the
people and for demo cracy. Courage!
Courage! Strong soul and high en-
deavor! There is many Il battle yet
to be fought before man can enjoy
his "inalienable rights" Courage!

Bride Your Tongue,

A young man sat at the lunch
counter in one of our restaurants the
other night, and as he partook of his
lunch he talked to several boys who
were present. A young ladies name
was mentioned in connection with some
remark one of the boys made and this
young fellow delivered himself of
several speeches about her that richly
merited the rebuke one of his COM
panions gave him. Young men, when
you speak evil of girls fair name can
you realize that you are committing
a wrong for which you cannot possibly
atone; that in your eagerness to say
something smart you are making Il
laundering ignoramus of yourself; that
such words are to your innocent
victim as the frost to the tender flower,
cuts it down irretrivably, without any
possible hope of ever being revived.
Think of girls reputation as a stone
wall that it has taken years of patient
toll to erect; every time you utter
aught against her it is stone loosened
from the structure that can never be
replaced. You say something that
will bring down few stones and other
boys and men will do the same and
finally it has been razed to the ground.
Young men, if you have ever taken n
stone from the wall let it be the
last one. Selected.
