Has Worked Out n story in Fnyer of
the Gold Standard.

Washington, Oct. u-John b. Proctor
of Kentucky, chairman of the United
States civil service commission, has made
public an article reviewing the history
Of the democratic party's position on the
question of the gold standard.
Mr.. Proctor says he has been at some
pains to collect authentic information
regarding the coinage laws of the past,
which satisfied him that the trainers OF
the constitution and the founders OF the
government were united and determined
that the coined value of our gold and
silver money should correspond with the
market value of the bullion contained.
This, Mr.. Proctor says, Is demonstrated
by the writings of Jefferson, Monroe and
Hamilton. Mr.. Proctor quotes many high
democratic authorities In support of his
position, and concludes by saying that
many others might be cited to show that
the free silver plank In the Chicago plat
form is violation of democratic prin-
clples, and that no man advocating fat
money has right to call himself q
