The Eutureo Democracy.

Tile Future of Democracy.
Hon. William j. Stone, ex-Gov-
ern of Missouri, discusses the Dem
ocratic Party and its Future in the
March Forum. The Ex-Governor
is one of the commanding figures
in the politics of the Mississippi
Valley. With the experience of
eight years in Congress and four
years as Governor of one of the
greatest States of the Union, Mr..
Stone can speak with some author
ity. He says:
Judging the future by the past,
I think it safe to say generally that
SO long as the doctrine of centrali-
zation is opposed, and the doctrine
of popular sovereignty in the ma
ton and of State supremacy over
local affairs is maintained, and so
long as the people fight for liberty,
for self-government, and for the
control of public affairs against
sordid special interests, the Demo-
cratic party will remain unchanged.
In other words, concretely stated,
so long as the principles of Thomas
Jefferson are a vital influence in
the republic, the Democratic party
will continue to be what it has
ever been-the exponent of those
principles.
"The battles of the future will
be substantially along the same
lines as those of theEpast. Against
the Democratic party viii be array
ed the same powerful influence
which opposed it in the last cam
paign while it's supporters will
come from the multitude whose
loyal hearts and busy hands make
the nation really opulentand great.
The declarations of the Chicago
platform of 1896. SO far as they re-
late to fundamental questions, will
stand, as they have stood for CEN
tury, as the permanent creed of the
party and, SO far as they relate to
financial and purely economic ques-
tions, they will be repeated and in
sisted upon from one convention
to another until crystalized into
Legislation, or until eliminated, by
reason of satisfactory changes in
the Industrial and economic con-
ditions of the country. I say this
because that platform is clear,
conservative. comprehensible state
ment of the Democratic position
Every declaration in it is Demo-
cratic, made alone in the interest
of the common people, and instrict
accord with the ancient faith of the
party. Moreover, the platform has
the approval of the people them
celves; it is indeed their handiwork,
and politicians could not change it
if they would"
