The bank OF France stands on two legs,

English institution stands on but one

At the time of the Barring failure
few years ago, the bank of England

The latter never called on the English
bank for help aud France has weatbered
several worse financial storms. Stand.

it. The French redeem with silver.

another commission. This is only an

After near four months of labor on the
tariff measure by this new congress in
extraordinary session, the bill is at last
in the hands of conference committee
and has been for several days. What
progress has been made has not iran
spired, as the members keep matters
close, by arrangement. The Republican
members only have thus far been con
fering, as they wish to see if they can
come To agreement. The fear seems to
be a great falling of in revenue which
the Republican leaders do not want.
They prefer a flush treasury when they
are in power and their claim is taxation
is a blessing. As the bill went from
the house it had an additional tax on
beer and 10 cents per pound on tea, but
these we're dropped in the senate and a
stamp tax on certain instruments of
writing provided for. From this tax
several millions are counted upon year.

pie to understand that this Mckinley
protective tariff taxation is to be a
blessing and to bring prosperity.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The signs of the times indicate that all
opposed to to the rule OF the goldocracy
will make common cause in 1900 as they
did last year under the lead of William
J. Bryan. Some people urge new
party under new name; but the name
and traditions of party organizations
are important to secure success and
bring about reform.
The Democracy, as a party, has ever
been the party Of justice and the con-
stitution, and hence the party of and
for the people. With such historic lead
ers as Jefferson and Jackson the Demo
cratic party has hold upon the Ameri.
can people that no other party has ever
had.
Jefferson was the author of the inn
mortal declaration of American in
dependence and as president secured
the Louisiana region by purchase, thus
securing the entire Mississippi valley
and claim to territory extending to
the Pacific ocean.
Jackson, as patriot and successful
general, crowned his fame at New
Orleans on January Sth, 1916, and so
"fled the measure of his country's
glory" As president he encountered the
money power, whose head was the bank
of the United States, and overCsme it by
his immortal veto message.
Surely such traditions are well worth
cherishing, and at this time ought to
have weight. The Democracy in nation.

bus, when the question Of placing sill

up, delegate arose and opposed it,
saying he had been a Republican until
last fall but he was now a Democrat and
proposed to continue and wished to be
so considered.
Here was man of sense. He realized
that on the question now the leading
issue there are but two sides, and there
is no half way house possible. In order
then to secure victory cordial and
effective union is necessary, and all who
are opposed to the single gold standard
and to tariff in the interest of trusts
should unite with heart and hand, The
country requires the cooperation of all
good, independent citizens. There is no
other way of salvation. 1t is unite

rapine being legalized does not change
its character, and it is the cause of much
rapine or crime that is illegal, for wrong
begets wrong, Just laws and all equal
before the law, with equal opportunities,
should be the rule. What right has our
congress to enact general tax law for
the purpose of enriching few citizens?
1t is robbing the masses to benefit the
favored classes.
