DEMOCRACY UNITED.
The Party Still Stands by the Dec
laratiOns Made I'm the StruE-
gle of 1906.

The democratic party was never
more a unit in purpose and work than
it is at the present time. 1t was united
on the question of freedom for Cuba !;
it was united on demanding that ret
ribution be administered to her for the
sinking of the Maine and the murder
of 266 American seamen. It stood
united in favor of the most vigorous
policy in the prosecution of the war
and to the extent that the national adj
ministration has carried out the will
of the people, has been and is as united
in it's support as Is the republican
party. The democratic party is united
upon the principles of the Chicago
platform. The issues upon which the
party battled for victory but which
met with temporary defeat in 1896,
are still alive and are the issues of
1s9s-99 and 1900.
No scheme of government and no
principle which fails to recognize the
interests of the toiling masses can be
enduring in this country. The demo-
cratic party still stands by the prin-
ciple that would abolish government
by injunction. The democratic party
still believes that our system of curren-
cy and the unequal coinage of gold and
silver at our minis are crying wrongs
for which there must be redress be-
fore this country will see lasting and
substantial prosperity. The demo-
cratic party is united on the tariff
question. The Dingley bill is revenue
destroyer, labor paralyzer, destruc-
tive to American industry and is
honeycombed with glaring favoritism
to trusts and monopolies as against
the men who toll and sweat in work
shops, in factory and upon the farm.
The democratic party will go on fight
ing as in the past for human right, for
justice and equality and neither the
fever of war nor the temporary vapor-
ings of those who discourse with
vagueness "our new responsibilities"
or. of "the duties providentially laid
upon us" will detract from the main
issue. The greatest reforms of the
future will be accomplished in deal
ing with our domestic affairs and in
handling them properly andswe need
not lose sight either of maintaining
our relations with. the rest of the
world.

would be no war, but he can console
himself that it has afforded him an
opportunity to run competitive.tr train

President Mckinley had reason
to know all about Alger when he made
him secretary of war. He certainly
knows all about him now. Why does
he retain him in office? Does he think
the people will be satisfied with mere

that BOSS Hanna is disposing of the

THE COINAGE RATIO
More Money to Help Trade
and Industry.

Bimetallists want more 10O-cent
dollars, and goldites fewer 100-cent
dollars-the fewer the better for
them. BimetalIists do not fix an I'M
alterable ratio for the coinage of the
metals; but demand that there be free
coinage of both metals, and favor the
existing ratio of sixteen to one, be-
cause it has never been demonstrated
that free coinage of both metals can
not be maintained at that ratio; but
on the contrary it has been demon
strated by a record of so years in this
country and in Europe that this ratio
is an equitable one.
1t would be financial folly to advo-
cate any other ratio under existing
conditions; and the goldites know this.
Hence they do not advocate any other
ratio; but howl-to scare the people,
and to prevent them from having all
the money they ought to have-"50-
cent dollars!" A veritable contra
diction in terms, and they know it.
Bimetallists are ready to concede
that ratios have been changed and
may be again; but in order to ascer-
tain what the ratio ought to be con-
ditions must be such as to prevent dis
elimination between the metals; and
these conditions the United States is
powerful enough and rich enough to
establish unaided by and independent
of any European government. Before
silver was demonetized in 1873, silver
dollars were at premium of from two
to three cents above gold. That was
under free coinage. Would it not be
folly to change the ratio without some
evidence that it is not equitable?
Bimetallists favor free coinage of
silver and gold by the United States
at the ratio of sixteen to one - the
present ratio-a ratio that differs but
little from the coinage ratios of the
governments of Europe and other por-
tions of the world. They favor this
because the business of the world
would be benefited by the infusion of
more money into the channels of
trade. Bimetallists do not want an
inequitable ratio. If it is found that
sixteen to one is an inequitable ratio
after it has been tested, then it can
be changed by increasing or dimin-
ishing it as may be necessary. But in
all probability no change will be neces-
sary.
Does the country need more dol
lars? Then coin them out of silver
and gold. The more the merrier. We
don't want dollars based on bonds, but
dollars that have the genuine metallic
ring to them, and that the tax payers
do not have to pay double interest on
interest not only to the banks but
to the bondholders. - Illinois State
Register.

A certain man possessed of great
wealth and proud of his possessions
was rather deficient in intellect. One
day he had an old man working for
him, an Irishman, possessing a full
share of the wit of his race. The rich
man went out to oversee the job. He
looked at Pat minute, hard at work,
and said:
well. Pat, it's good to be rich,
isn't it?''
"Yis, sur" said Pat, meekly enough.
''I am rich, Pat-very rich"

trundled it of, and the rich man went

IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
HnIdeman Tells of the killing OF
His Partner.

Cincinnati, Nov S0.-The sensation in
this city today was the taking of the
stand in his own defense of w. J. Halde-
man. in his trial for the murder of former
ex-State Senator J. c. Richardson, the
husband of Haldemans mothers half-sis-
ter and later the husband of his sister
Richardson was mis- partner in extensive
paper mills near here. HaIdeman is q
relative through marriage of former Sec
retary of State John Sherman.
The two men were alone in the office
at the time of the tragedy. Richardson
was shot five times and beaten about the
head with brass knuckles. But one pis-
tol was ever found. Haldeman today
claimed Richardson first drew pistol but
did not shoot. He said:
Il grabbed his wrist, saying:
Drop the gun; drop the gun but he
refused to do so.
Il struck him with the knuckles 1
then punched him with my pistol. but he
would not drop his. l pulled off the pis-
tol and then l emptied it into him
Haldeman said he got the knuckleS
when he first went to Yale to protect him
self from hazers in 1874, and that they had
been in the Office for years.
The case will go to the jury tomorrow.

HOPE FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Additional Regiments of Regulars
Ready for the Philippines.

The Administration has decided to send
as few volunteers as possible to Cuba in
the near future, the hope being that Con-
gress will promptly act on the Presidents
forthcoming recommendation for a large
increase of the regular army.
If favorable legislation is passed very
soon, it will be possible to muster out
some of the volunteer regiments original
ly destined for garrison duty in Cuba and
to at once order home a number of vol
unteers from Manila. Preparations have
already been made for some additional
regiments of regular troops to be sent to
the Philippines. but it is uncertain
whether the volunteer regiments will be
withdrawn upon the arrival of the regu-
lars. That depends to some extent upon
the situation among the Philippine insur-
gents at the time of the progress toward
increasing the size of the regular army.
The regular regiments to be sent across
the Pacific in the near future are the
Third Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Thir-
teenth and Twentieth regiments of in
fantry. Orders have been sent to Depot
Quartermaster Long, at San Francisco, to
prepare a full field equipment for 5000
men. How soon the regiments will leave
San Francisco is uncertain, but it will
probably be soon after the signing of the
treaty of peace

Phya Visuddha. minister in joint ca
pacity from Siam to England and Ameri-

turned yesterday from an extended trip
through the middle West and along the
Great Lakes. He was accompanied by
his secretary, Mr.. Bateman, and visited
Chicago. Buffalo, the Niagara Falls. New
York. Brooklyn and Philadelphia
Minister Visuddha is particularly in
terested in the industrial training schools
of the country, and this recent trip was
made for the purpose of studying insti-
tutions of that character In the West
Among the schools he visited were the
Chicago University. at Chicago: the Pratt
Institute, at Brooklyn, and the Drexel
Institute, at Philadelphia.
When seen by Times reporter. Minis
ter Visuddha said: II am greatly pleased
with what saw during my trip This is
marvellous land. and its industrial
schools astonished me. l was particu-
larry impressed, at even so cursory a
glance. with the manner In which the
technical studies are taught. With the
magnificent laboratories equipped with
the most modern apparatus there should
be a rare combination of theory and psac-
tice in studying the industrial arts in
such institutions"
Minister Nisuddha says that Siam is
practically without such industrial
schools. and he will endeavor to have
several established in different PARTS of
that far-away land.
Minister Visuddha. accompanied by his
secretary. will today leave for Carlisle,
Pa, to study the workings of the great
Indian school at that place.

Former Queen Lii Again DomiciIed
In Washington.

Liliuokalani, the former queen of Ha-

certain claims in her own behalf for what
are known as the Hawaiian crown

The former queen arrived over the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad from the West at

panied by Miss Myra Heleluhe and Miss
Mcclure. The party was driven to the
Ebbitt House, where the former sover-
eign was escorted to the suite of rooms
she occupied during her visit here last
Winter. 1t will be recalled that during
that sojourn she endeavored to combat
the annexation movement in Congress
and. if possible, to defeat the treaty
which proposed to make the Hawaiian
Islands a part of the territory of the
United States. Her efforts in that direc-
tion proving fruitless, she departed for
Honolulu shortly after the adjournment
of Congress. Now that Congress is on
the eve of converting she has returned to
present her claims to the territory which
she asserts was Illegally transferred to
