The free-sllver democracy is in sore
straits for newspaper of state repu
tation to advocate its cause. Of course
there are many fairly good county
papers that stand by the rank platform
and candidates of democracy although
not all of the county democratic papers
do, but when it comes to papers OF
state circulation and influence, they
are very scarce. The Des Moines
Leader, their greatest paper, has long
since refused to advocate cheap money
The Davenport Democrat, one of the
stalwart democratic papers of Iowa,
is much more pronounced than the
Leader for sound money. The Sioux
City Tribune, the strongest democratic
paper in north west Iowa, has also de
clined to be party to upsetting money
values. The Dubuque Telegraph, II
paper almost unknown away out here,
is about the only democratic paper of
more than local reputation that adj

down by its very modern leaders such
as the Weavers, Films and Stuarts.
Then where are the democratic leadersof
old, those men that used TO make Iowa
resound with the battle cries OF true
democracy? Where is John p Irish,
w. l. BabD and Horace Boes? Where
is Mike Healy and Irwin Richman and
LIN. Martin? Where is Richardson and
and Sloane? Where is
Rigby and Ranck and Kepler and scores
of others whose ability have caused
them to rise in leadership, bu: who now
refuse to go longer with their party in
its mad chase for power at the expense
Of wrecking the country's business ?
They, like the newspapers we mentioned
are advocating sound money and the
most of them the republican ticket
They prefer prosperity in business to
party success under the dangerous
conditions it would bring should
democracy succeed this year.

At Sea on nlaskar.

A funny scene occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Arabian
horses, sword, etc., arrived from the
imam of Maskat for President Adams.
A western member with some heat
moved that the gift should be sent
back, with a letter from congress, in
forming the ruler of Maskat that the
president of the United States was nc
king, but the servant of the people, and
was not permitted to give or receive
presents.
Another member rose. "Such let
ter, Mr.. Speaker" he said, "can easily
be written. But where is it to be sent!
Where is Maskat?''
There was no response. Apparently
not member of the house was prepared
to answer, nor could Maskat then be
found in any atlas published in this
country. 1t was found at last on Ger
man map. A civil answer was returned,
and the geographers made haste to in
sert Maskat in the next edition of their
maps.

That the experience of the last two
years has fully approved the gold stand.
ard policy of the republican party as
declared by the national convention of
1896. We recognize the necessity of
comprehensive and enlightened none

OF this country and the commercial
world is gold. The permanence of this
standard must be assured by congress
ional legislation, giving to it the validity
and vitality of public law. All other
money must be kept at parity with
gold. Our money like our institutions,

and an immediate and permanent SETTLE

The democracy of Iowa, in state con,

cratic national platform of 1896, which
we hereby heartily reaffirm, the best
expression of democratic principles
enunciated since Thomas Jefferson wrote
the declaration Of independence.
The utterances of that platform con-

faith on the money question. The free

The Other Way Around.

The loyalty of the Scottish highlander
to his kilt is picturesque thing. He
will never admit that it makes him
cold, and highlanders who were suffer

civilization have been known to substi-
tute the kilt for it in order to get
warm, though this would be much like
removing ones coat and waistcoat and
rolling up ones shirt sleeves for the

The following story comes from the

man and woman who are employed
in different offices in one of the large
buildings of that city. Each Office has a
telephone, but as it happens one is an
instrument belonging to the Citizens
company, the other Bell instrument.
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens line and stepped across the
hall to the lady's office.
Have you Citizens phone?" he
asked, and she replied in the affirmative.
SWELL, he ventured: "I'm citizen.
May use it,"
Why, of course he might use it, but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability to stand up and assert his iciti-
zenship in this way, for some of her
womanly propensities were of the "new-
ish" sort. An hour later she balanced
accounts with him.
"Haye you a Bell telephone?'' she

LABOR AND IMMIGRATION.

The Government now permits the
The great increase in plantations de
mands them beyond any doubt, if the
price of wages is to be kept down.
As every man, woman and child on
the Islands is dependent more or less
on the sugar industry, this jmmigra-
tion may be necessary.
But how far is it polite? Is it not
a movement that may kill the goose
that lays the golden egg?
We now know what the response is
from the Mainland, to the requests for
1he suspension OF the immigration and
shipping laws in favor of these ISL
ands. What will be the comment upon
executing a plan of immigration that
is in violation of the laws which pre-
vail on the Mainland?
1t is unwise and impolitic to stir up
the sugar beet interests and the Labor
Unions Having secured our territory,
Congress will not spend time or
thought over the matter Of our in
dividual prosperity. That may be sac
rifced readily to the national policy. It
is in this direction that the danger
signals float.
The close connection of the United
States with Cuba and the Philippines
may possibly change the policy of the
country regarding labor in the tropics
The admission of the Cubans and the
Filipinos to free competition with
the American laborer, in sugar produc-
ton, may make a loophole for the I'M
restricted immigration of japanese
here. 1t is possible that the nation in
executing it's expansion policy, may
follow Great Britain and liberalize the
laws.
he chances are, however, that laws
may be passed that will tend to prevent
the competition of the newly acquired
territories with the American producer
One thing is certain. We are abou
to see some curious legislation regard

provoke any angry or hostile actor
against us. In the meantime is The
