prevent any legislation favorable to bi
metallism, and will also give chanc,
Tor friends Of the gold standard to sill
into Congress under the pretense o
favoring some underlined ratio, bu
who, as matter of fact, would ust
! their positions to maintain the golC
standard.
The ratio of 16 to l has been adopted
by the Democratic party in conyen
tion which, more than any recent con
yention. received its authority direct
from the people.
The rank and file of the party, in,
stead OF leaving the ratio to the lead
ers expressed their own opinion upon
| the subject and that opinion has not
changed since the convention.
This ratio has also been endorsed by
the Populist party, the National Silver
perty and the silver Republicans. To
abandon the ratio would be wrong in
Itself, and as impolitic, as it would be
wrong.
If the Democratic party were to al
low its policy on this question to be de
termined by few doubling Thomases,
or by the deserters who supported the
enemy in the great struggle between
Democracy and plutocracy, it would
lose the respect aud confidence Of those
who now look to it as an efficient means
OF restoring the government of the
people.
10 turn from its clear and courage
Gus enunciations to wallow again in the
mire of ambiguity and deception would
allenate those who have been drawn
to it by the platform of 1896.
The Democratic party could have re-
tanned within its folds the deserters of
1876 II 1T had consented to meaning
less platform, but II preferred to lose
some members Of the body rather than
have the whole body destroyed. Re.
generation did not come too soon
The gold Democrats were rapidly
making the party rival OF the Repub-
lican party for the favor Of trusts and
monopolies. If the Chicago platform
did nothing else, it drove from the
party those who had been manipulat-
Ing the party for private gain and
using the government for public plum
der.
There are many Of these desert.rs
whose return to the party would bring
weakness rather than add strength,
and there are millions of Democrats
who would not surrender u single line
OF the Chicago platform to recover
every deserter who left because of real
antagonism to the principles set forth
in that platform.
do not refer to those who were
misled. There were many who left
because they did not fully understand
the issues raised, and they are coming
PACK OF their own accord, because they
hnd themselves in sympathy with our
platform.
The party can win more voters by
steadfastly standing by the right than
by weakly compromising with error,
and those won back to the platform
will be useful when they return, while
those who profess attachment 10 the |

a writer in the Lexington, Ky, Her

lures OF the pension system, has this to
say,
pensioners, aud this annual distribu
tion of $ll5,O0O, 600 may be Just, but in
my experience | have never known but
one instance where thought "a pension
was properly applied" said gentle
man yesterday. He was reading in
newspaper OF two millionaire pension
ers who are now occupying federal
positions and drawing large salaries.
THE case | speak Of furnishes ne
OF the most remarkable exhibitions of
unseltishness | have ever heard Of. In
q county not more than fifty miles dis
|-tant from Lexington there lived two
neighbors, who at the breaking out Of
the war, took up arms on opposite
sides. In the course of time the di-
visions to which they belonged met in
battle, and after q bloody conflict the
Union men were put to rout In riding
over the field after the battle the one
who belonged to the rebel side racog-
nized his neighbor in blue lying among
the dead and dying soldiers. His leg
had been shattered by q shell, and he
was to all appearances dead. 1t re-
Quired but few seconds for the Johnny
lSeb to dismount place his neighbor on
the horse before him and start post
haste for the confederate hospital.
The immediate attention OF the sur
geon and careful nursing were the
means OF saving the Union mans life.
"At the close OF the war the two men
returned to their farms. The business
interests of the soldier OF the Un on
had not suffered during his abseut Q,
and he returned to a life OF plenty.
The other did not fare so well His
fortune, as well as his hopes, had been
wrecked, and time did not better his
condition. 1t was not long until his
place became heavily mortgaged and q
hand-tO.mouth existence set in. BY
hard work and economy he managed
to support large family and pay Uhe
interest on the mortgage, but was not
able to save a cent. Years passed and
each seemed to bring fresh trouble anC
adversely to the unfortunate soldier
Fina!Iy he died. Living across the
pike and prOspering was his wal
enemy. Though entitled to o pension
he had never had cause to apply fol
one until one day he thought Of this a.
means of helping the widow and chill
dren OF the man who had saved hi
: life. He was quick to act and in the
course of few months received bach
} pay Of sufficient amount to pay OFF th,
mortgage on the farm, and was grant
ed $A per month for the loss of hi
: leg. He Is still living and every cen
} that he has received from the gov vern
ment has gone toward the support o
the widow and children OF the rebe
soldier"

Senator White characterized
Hawaiian annexation accurately in
the declaration that it is purely
matter OF sentiment and sugar." with
strong emphasis on the sugar. The
Hawaiian planters have oacn presented
With $4,000, 900 to $0O0O,OOO annually
under the treaty with this country
and they are willing to spend some of
that money to make this advantage
perpetual, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
BY importing coolie labor under con-
tract, with system Of semi-slavery,
which compels the laborers to work or
go to prison, they are able to produce
sugar cheaply. BY eyading duties
they are able to realize heavy profit.
1t is not surprising that they should
try to retain good thing, but there is
no reason why the United States should
depart from sound policy to assist them
In doing 1t.
