Thomas Jefferson Not a Democrat.

1t is painful to be forced to unmask a
man who has been so long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but stern sense of duty to the free sill
yer and spoils Democracy of the present
compels us to portray him in his true
colors. 1t is not right that he should re-
ceive the enthusiastic laudations of
Chicago platform Democrats when he
was false to nearly every one of the
great and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1896. What right
had jefferson to pose as a Democrat,
anyhow? What pretensions to Democ-
racy had man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense to national affairs, who
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness of obligations, who demone-
tized silver when he saw it was neces-
sary for the public good and who was a
civil service reformer.
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr.. jefferson instead of praising him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glazing heresies and formally
reading him out Of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago
platform is to be taken as the expression
Of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
jefferson was not Democrat and must
descend from his PEDESTAL as the fatLer

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict Of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver at the next congress
sional elections; while a bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of international bimetallism,
there may be perceived 4ll over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard Of gold Since the ap-
pointment of the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probable
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to flintlock muslSets for their
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irreyocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent case with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the maryels of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be awak
ing from her silver dream Of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation Of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is com
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states tosreform their monetary sys-
tenn and escape the losses entailed by
an inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Lima
informed us that Perm had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed q
law against the importation of silver.
Columbia has adopted tho gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums In Hondu-
ras, San Salvador, Costa Rica and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tablished by law, though a deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
of gold at present. These movements go
to show that those nations who are in
touch with European trade and com
MERGE feel the necessity of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are at disadvantage because Of
their fuctuating and deprecated home
currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
teddy our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
silver standard What must the nations
of the world think of such leadership
and statesmanship?-Chicago Times
