a Landmark In political u,.torv.

That the Democratic national conven-
ton of 1896 will stand forth as one Of
the mountain peaks in political history
is certain. If its candidates win and the
principles it has set forth prevail, cur
rents which have been flowing and
gaining in volume ever since the civil
war will be damned and turned back.
If they fail in this election, tho battle
is not lost Victory is only postponed
The truths set forth In the platform
adopted are vitalI the policies it defines
are essential TO the welfare of the peo-
pie. Whether or not they triumph in
the coming campaign, American politics
cannot be and will not be the same as
before they were proclaimed St Louis

The Septem Der number of the STAN

OF interest to women. Affairs of fash
ion, art, millinery, toilet, Horticulture,
bicycling, and the household are ali
fully described. The latest designes
in buttons, belts, jewelry, leather, and
cut glass are shown in artistic illustra-
tions, and are ably described by clever
writer's. Fall fashions and fabrics are
made more than ever tempting by the
aid OF pen and pencil and if the many
feminine readers of this magazine are
not all becomingly arrayed it will not
be the fault of either the designers or

The Natural Ratio.

The reason that the coinage ratio,
which has obtained for more than a CEN
fury last past, is 1558 to or 10 to is
that the relative quantities of silver and
gold existing today in the world, the
accumulation of past ages, is approx
mately in that proportion. The quaint
ties of tons or ounces of these precious
metals put into the bowels of the earth
for mans use by the Creator. so far as
experience teaches, is in that proportion.
About 10 TO is, therefore, the natural
coinage ratto-the ratio ordained by ma
ture itself w. b. Fleming.

However the election may go, no
voter, on either side, can fail to know
how he is voting. The straddle has been
etfectually eliminated. Mckinley means
gold recommendation. Bryan means sill

the best man and the best cause. If they
cannot win with these 1t is because the

ways, may be fooled often. st Louis
