An UnfavornbIe View of America.
Julian Ralph in HarpCr


L know an Englishman of very great abil-
ity who has been bred abroad-the world
also knows him-and who does not admire
America or view ii with English eyes. He
likewise Is one who does not content HIM
self with a view of the end of his nose
but looks far into the future. Thus this
man speaks:
All who look twenty years ahead in their
calculations are aghaSt at the mere brute
force OF this inSular giant. America, who is
ignorant OF and Indifferent 10 the traditions
OF European policy, who cares nothing about
spending 100000 a day in a needless war.
They see the mischief which this giant can
make with few ships of war, interfering
in Europe to-day, leaping into Asia to-mor-
row. bombarding right and left and dis
cusSing the advisability of throwing their
shells at the coast of Europe itself AL
ready the Americans are a people who grow
their own food supplies and corner them;
who make bicycles, steam engines, ma
chinery and fine instruments cheaper and
better than we Europeans; who underbid
the English for railway construction in
London. and who are already landing steel
rails in Liverpool. This is to-day. The mind
is terroriZed IL IL tries 10 conceive what that
giant will do in twenty years time"

PLATFORM FOR DEMOCRATS.
Planks Which oliver Belmont Would
Like to See Inserted.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The Herald will
print tomorrow a letter from Oliver HI. p.
Belmont, in which he calls on the Democrats
TO harmonic their differences and close up
the ranks for the battle of 1900 He says:
Speaking for myself, 1 am gold man, but
I will unhesitatingly support free silver. 16
to /, should it be made the platform senti-
ment of the party IN 1900. will give my full,
support 10 any candidate whom the con-
ventiOn selects However, L do not regard
the question of finance as of prime impor-
lance at any time. 1t will grow steadily
less important between now and the next
election. Some suggestion of the truth
of this can be found by COM
pairing last falls election figures,
State by State, with those of 1896. 1t is
rot to be denied that general interest in
finance as a question. or to put it plainly,
in silver at 10 to l, as q question, is falling
away. There is no such general strong sill
yer demand as there was three years ago.
That, no doubt, is due to condition of bet
ter general business and easier times. For
myself, however, / say again 1 do not fear
silver; we have had silver coinage before
and succeeded. just we have a single
gold standard now and succeed. We will
not meet wreck if we have silver any more
than ruin is to overtake us under the single
gold standard.
THE trusts form the giant evil, imminent
and threatening, in our affairs. There is
no time or room for details here. But the
monster combination of money, called the
trusts, whose methods contemplate the brib-
cry OF congresses and legislatures, and
even the control of courts, must be de-
stroyed. To this end we should have an IN
come tax and an inheritance tax. We should
have public ownership of all those fran
chiseS which are now in the hands OF great
railroads, bridge and electrical companies,
and other combinations OF kindred sort.
Above all. we should have the initiative
and referendum, and so put within the
actual power OF the people at the polls to
propose or pass law, or, If needs, press 10
repeal law in spite of any action by venal
or corrupt congresses or legislatures.
I'VE should attack government by inJunc-
ton and the national bank system We
should be for the election of senator's and
the United States judges by the people. We
should be for an increase in the navy and
against an increase in the army. We should
be for economy and for the cutting down OF
expenses. We should be against expansion
and the Selling of the Philippines beyond
such harbors or islands as are necessary for
naval stations.
IF / were 10 go in for all these matters
and add to them an attack on the opposition
for its rotten war record, for its roguery of
embalmed beef, for it's steals of contracts,
there would be no doubt Of Democratic sue
