There can be no doubt that an over
whelming majority of the Democrats
of the nation are heartily in favor of
the restoration of silver to its old
place and value in our currency, while
it is equally true that the president and
his cabinet and number of the most
prominent Democrats in congress are
unwavering advocates of the single
gold standard.
IN every vote which has taken place
in either house of congress on the
direct question of free coinage, since
1876, a large majority of the Democrats
declared unequivocally for bimetallism
at the ratio of Is to l, and if a popular
vote could be taken on that direct is
sue tomorrow we have no doubt that
a large majority of the members of the
party would go on record in the same
way.
1t is true that on the question of re-
peal in 1893 a majority of the Demo-
cratic senators and representatives
obeyed the arbitrary dictum of Presi-
dent Cleveland, but most of them an
nounced at the time that they sup
ported the repeal bill because they did
not believe in limited purchases of sill
yer, but preferred free coinage in
stead.
When the Sherman bill was passed
in 1890 every Democrat in both houses
voted against 1t for the same alleged
reason. Some may have been insincere
in their declarations on this subject but
there can be no doubt that very large
majority of the Democratic party is
earnestly in favor of the restoration of
the coinage laws which prevailed in
this country from the organization of
the government until 1873
The above is from the Denver Re-
publican. and is well worth remember
ing by Democrats. 1t states the at
titude of Democrats fairly, something
not always done by the Republican
press.
The facts herein set forth and
the recognition given them by
a Republican paper should slim
ulate Democrats in the impend-
ing conflict to the performance
Of their full duty. Since 1t is a fact

PROGRESS IN THE CONTROVERSY

The Chicago Chronicle reviewing a
recent address by Judge Moran before
the Iroquois club at Chicago on curren-
cy represents the judge as saying: sBi-
metallism is, in my humble opinion. now
and forever not only impracicable, but
impossible. No international agreement
can ever establish gold and silver upon
parity again. No government is pow
erful enough to infuse value into any
metal which it has not intrinsically in
the market"
Upon this the Chronicle remarks:
Here, perhaps. he goes too far. No
government can by merely saying be
it so, add to or take from the value Of
anything 80 much as the smallest frac-
ton. But one powerful government can
do much, and many of them acting to-
gether can do more to increase or di-
minish the use of thing and so in
crease or diminish its value"
1t makes one feel as if distinct adj
vancement were being made in the
great discussion over silver, when

admit so much as is contained
in the above paragraph, as to the effect
OF use on value. With such admissions
the silver question simply resolves
itself 70 this: VIII the value of
silver by opening the minis of the
United States to its free and unlimited
coinage be so far increased in value as
to bring it approximately near the val
ue Of gold at the ratio fixed by law-so
near the value at least as to work no
injustice to the creditor class? That is
the matter to be determined, and the
faith of the unlimited coinage advocates
is that such would be the effect. Their
confidence in the volume of business.

activity in the United States is such

They say, if I'd poet be,
"Twere better 1 should sing
Less, oft, sweetheart, of love ana thee'
And change my fretted string,
Then in some newer, less-sung strain
The poets garland strive to gain.
But sweeter it's for me, to sound
Thy beauty and thy name,
Than live poet laurel-crowned'
And win a worldwide fame;
For dearer far art thou to me
Than fame, or song, or ministrelsy.
Grim Age doth hobble on apace,

Too soon he'll win Life's little rare,
End Love and lovers lay;
Then while the fleeing hour allows.
To songs of love the Tyre I'll rouse.

but open the minis to silver, and confer
upon it legal tender quality of money,
the same as that now enjoyed by gold,
such is the value which such use would
confer on silver, that it would so in
stantly bound forward from its CONNER
cial to its coinage value that no injus-
tice would be done to any one. while in
finite good would result to the country
at large.
In speaking of the market value of
silver so contemporary, and concluding
that it cannot circulate side by side
with gold. it should always be remen1-
bered that men speak of the market
value of silver before this use of coin
age is restored to it; they argue that the
value of silver will be no greater after
the use of coinage is conferred upon it
than it is now, and they ignore plain
fact which certainly appeals to the I'M
Outstanding of ordinary men.
"One powerful government, says the
Chronicle, can do much to in
crease or diminish the use of thing,
and so increase or diminish its value;'
and we are cf opinion that such would
he the influence of the unlimited coin
age of silver by the United States as
to restore it to its full coinage value
without injustice to anyone; and wheth-
er this would be the result or the con-
trary is the point of controversy be-
tween those who stand for unlimited
and independent coinage of silver and
others who stand for international BIZ
metallism.

At the meeting of the Democratic
state committee on the fourth inst, the
matter of determining the date on
which the first state Democratic con-
vention should be held, was left to the
chairman to decide; and we are in
formed by the secretary of the commit
tee that Saturday, June the 9Th has
been selected.
1t will be remembered that this con-
vention will meet TO select six dele
gates and six alternates to attend the
Chicago convention on the 9TH of
July. The convention will be import
ant in that it will most likely deter
mine the probable course to be pur-

most important gathering to which

will do we'll to send their very strong

A dispatch published in our columns
yesterday from Lexington, Kentucky,
stated that Colonel Breckinridge, of
Madeline Pollard motor
iety, is again canvassing the congress
sional district in which he lives, with a
view of running for congress this year.
The dispatch also said that the old
movement of the ladies in the district
is being reorganized against him, so
that Kentucky is likely to present the
country with a rehash of that I'M
savory affair.
Colonel Breckenridge is making a
mistake, if the statement of the dis
patch be true. A man who has so far
outraged the moral sense of his own
neighborhood and the whole country
should not permit himself to go before
the people for election to public Of
fee There is neither necessity nor
justification for it, and a becoming re-
spect for the opinions of mankind
would dictate to the colonel absolute
retirement from public life.

Think of a convention OF 10000
delegates J That is the present esti-

The growth of this society has been
extraordinary. In 1881 there were
but two societies in existence. In
1891 there were 1924, and today,
according to the statistical report Of
its secretary, John Willis Baer, there
are regularly reported societies to
the number of 45,Oe7. Eight years
ago the society was Instituted in
Great Britain, and since then branch
es have been established in several
European and Asiatic countries.
While the rank and file is made MP
chiefly of young people in the Pro.
testant churches, the leaders en-
brace some of the most prominent
workers in the church field. Penn
sylvania will lead in numerical rep
resentation, and foreign fields will
be represented by Is eminent mis-.
sionaries, in addition to the clerical
or lay delegates. The society has
evidently been put upon its metal by
the recent criticisms which have
been passed upon it, and elaborate
preparations have been made to
transact the business of the conven-
ton in dignifed. orderly and expe-
ditious manner. Owing to the i'm

manifestly impossible to hold the
sessions in one building at the same
