and Disseminated, will bring us
peace and national safety"
The proposition is as cool as one
would have been from Judas Iscariot
to the eleven faithful disciples re
questing them to meet in his room,
after he had betrayed his Master, for
the purpose of rehabiltating the
Christian cause.
The rehabilitation of the Demo.
cratic party took place in Chicago in
June last. The great body of the
Democratic party in all the Eastern
States, as well as those in the West
and South, supported MIR Bryan. In
the State of New York he received
55l 1896 votes while Palmer, "Nat.
tlonal Democrat" received 1891.
The 1880 represented the entire
Demo ratio New YORK following If
Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and
of the Democratic brokers, bankers
aud milionaires. In Ohio Bryan re
ceiv d III ,497 votes, while the Palmer
boiling vote was 1857, Mr.. Bryan's
vote in this State exceeded the vote
cast for Cleveland four years ago Ey
$1,000. Mr.. Biyan's vote in the
United States exceeded the vote cast
for Cleveland four years ago by $685.

1t is not rehabilitation that the
Democratic party is in need Of. 1t
only needs to continue faithful TO
Democratic principles in general,
and TO independent bimetallism 10
particular. It's doors must always be
open to honest recruits and to return
ing prcdIgas. IL it were to trail It's
flag of free silver coinage in the hope
of s,curing the support of Mckinley
Democrats, it would be equivalent TO
a G j bandn ent of the party. Re.
or his are oDly desirable as additions
10 the main body of an army, and
not as a substitute for the army it.
self. Every Democrat who went as
tray from the Democratic party last
November should be warmly vel |
coined at the polls next November.
The only discipline which party US
age imposes upon bolter is to debar
hun from any participation in the
party councils until after he has once
again voted the party ticket. We
know of no instance where boilers
from a Presidential ticket have
sought or been permitted to partici
pate in primary elections of the party
in the year next following.
Monetary reform is the sign under
which alone tie Democratic party
can conquer. All other things n
wait. That cannot. Democrats who
have not studied the subject, or who |
differ with the party have only the
choice of doing with and for the |
Democratic party, or against it. |
Boilers who return to the party do |
not thereby rehabilitate it. They |
rather rehabilitate themselves. The
prodigal son, upon his return to his
fathers house, did not boisterously
demand roast veal. 1t was the kind
father who decided to kill the fatted
calf for the rejoicing feast over his
return. The Democratic party will
do the fathers part toward all of its
hayward sons who returned to the
fold. No reproaches and no pros
cription will be visited upon them.
But they must not expect even a
partial Endorsement of their conduct
while in the far of land where they
have recently been spending their
time. There can be no compromise
between the truth and a lie. There
fore there can be no compromise be-
tween the issues of bimetallism and

will uphold the Democratic cause
this year, and they will be aided by
all the sincere friends of bimetallism
who have hitherto acted with the OPP
posing parties.
The prosperity which the Republi-
can managers promised in the event
Of McKinley's election will not ar
rive. Blacker and blacker grow the
clouds above us and deeper and
deeper do the feet of the people sink
INTO the slough of despond. Increas-
ed taxation under the Dingley bill
will net put food into the poor mans
cupboard nor coal in his coal bin.
Merchants will continue to fail, Sc
for loans will continue to
'hirk, foreclosures will follow, and
hose who have sown the wind will
cap the whirlwind. The only rem
,dy for the deadly disease of contrac-
ion is more money. The best pro-
lection against initiation is the use of
he money metals, silver and gold,
he production of which is limited by
nature and the quantity of which has
hus far never reached the amount
If money used in the worlds business.
