THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY AND SILVER.

Perhaps it would he we'll to review,
briefly, the attitude of the republican
party on the silver question n few years
ago, and compare it with It's present po-
sltion regarding the white metal. That
the republican party has been at work
long while TO exclude silver from
monetary circles is not denied, but 1t is
fact nevertheless that this great par
ty did not dare to advocate the single
gold standard before the campaign of
1896. To show how the party haSdrlft-
ed on the question of silver We intro
duce the planks of the last three repub
llcaD national platforms. 1t Will be
noticed That the last of these is the
strongest anti silver document in his
tory. 1t is safe to say that the rcpub-
licaD platform of 1900 will come out
still stronger for all absolute gold stand
and regardless of the attitude of Other
nations:

WE deplore the defeat Of
the Populist ticket i'll Barber
county and we want to say
that the defeat was not be-
cause the Populist candidates
were not good men, but be
cause of existing strife in the
Popnlist party.

THE elections all over the
United States this year show
that the people are dissatis
fed out they haven't learned
how to remedy the evils. The
masses are in need of more
literature and less political
hog-wash. The man who
votes because of education is
a safe voter; but the man
who votes because of preju
dice is equally unsafe.

UNION OF THE OPPOSITION.

The INDEX commends the following
from the Topeka Advocate, ex Senator
PETERS paper. to the careful consldera
ton of eyer Popuiist, democrat and
free silver republican as we'll as all 9th
ers who are opposed to the present f.
nancial and social system. This plan,
we believe, is wise one, and one which
would completely put the republican
party to rout.
The following two propositions, the
Advocate thinks, may be taken as con-
coded by all persons opposed to the
present political regime:
First-That the friends of the gold
standard policy, without regard to
former political affiliations, are work
ing together to maintain that policy.
Second-That the republican party,
with its late recruits, cannot be defeat
ed unless their opponents unite for
that purpose.
Neither Of these propositions requires
argument, but the second needs to be
we'll thought over 10 the end that some
feasible, effective and satisfactory plan
of procedure may be devised to get the
opposition voters Joined in permanent
union. II such plan is found to be
practicable. the sooner it is adopted the
better for all concerned and for the
country, because in that event, there is
little enough time TO organize the great
movement for the campaign of 1900.
On the other hand, if such a plan can
not be agreed upon, the people ought to
know it. so that they may proceed
along their own lines az they best can.
1t must be apparent by this time to
democrats and Populists alike that
such an alliance between their parties
as was formed in 1896 Will not again
take place. While it would be agreea
BILE to many POpulists, it is not at all
probable that it could be made accepta-
BILE TO all of them. A very large pro.
portion of the party will not under any
circumstances consent to repeat the ex-
pertinent of last year. This the Adyo-
cate regards as settled. The Nashville
conference of last July is conclusive on
that point. To undertake and insist
upon such combination will result in
permanent separation of the two cp-
posing elements in the party. not that
there Is necessarily an inseparable bar
rieE to n mingIing of voters who had
formerly belonged TO both the demo-
crat and Populist parties; but because
of irritating aDtagonlsms between the
two parties as such, especially in tho
southern states.
The Advocate submits whether it ia
not the part of wisdom to avoid perma-
nent cleavage, if 1t be possible not only
in our party. but in the ranks of the re-
form forces generally; or. put it in an
other form, is 1t not wise 10 undertake
the gathering of all the opposition ele-
ments into one body in which each
would have equal voice in determining
the creed, the name, the officers and
candidates of the new body? That
would relieye the situation from all dis.
casslaps about alliances and confedera.
ton. Nothing then but the broad field
of general union would ba before us,
and the prospect would be more agree
able and vastly more encouraging.
