The Missourian Does Not Believe in

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-When the
Senate bill providing Tor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ra-
ito of 16 to 1 comes to the House, as
is nov considered possible, Mr.. Hall,
of the Second District of Missouri,

against the free coinage of silver and
have taken the stump in my district

tell them it is wrong in principle.

II Il
free turnpikes. One of the questions
which promises to take up consider
able of the attention of the Legisla-
u is the subject of free turnpikes.
The last Legislature repealed the old
system of requiring two days road
work from all men yer 81 and under
80. To make good the loss of labor a
tax was assessed on the land and the
property owner made 70 bear the ad-
ditional burden. Now one PROPOSE
ton is to build free pixies IN every
county and first submit to a vote the
policy of the tax. The good-roads
movement has no connection with
that one engineered by the redoubt-
able Coxey a year or more ago. All
legislation for public Improvement
has been in favor of the cities and
very few thought it was necessary to
do anything for the country. But
the farming element is coming to the
conclusion that a turnpike, like a
railroad, enhances the value of the
land, and while for the present, at
least, the tax might be a burden, in
the long run it is a good thing.
THE suggestion of the LEDGER, that
il the Democrats of this State expect
to win in the election this year they
must stand for principle and nomi-
nate men of integrity, free from the
suspicion of demagoguery, seems to
have met with disfavor in some quar-
tiers. We are not surprised at this,
however, but that it has the hearty
approval of every Democrat who
esteems party above self there is
every assurance. There may be diff
ferences of opinion between Demo-
Gratis as to politics, but what the voter
wants when he sees a name on the
ticket is to know that it is the name OF
a Democrat who can be trusted, and
not that of a political hack who wears
the livery of Democracy for what
there is in il, representing no principle,
but always ready to advocate any
thing, however dangerous to u in
stitutions, so it advances his personal
ends. What the Democratic party
must and will do is to nominate its
candidates from it's best men, upon
a platform of principle made holy by
the spirits of jefferson and Jackson
and it will find its support with the
people who revere good government
honestly administered. The situation
is a grave one. Every sincere Dem
ocrat realizes this and it is his duty tt
deal candidly with that situation
When all are brought to a realization
of the danger and necessity of a soiit
front with our ablest and best men Al
leaders the prospect for success is in
creased many fold. Again, we sa.
nominate none but good men, worth.
of the confidence and respect of tn
whole people and success is assures
with the old time majority.
