| one infalllble and impeccable Judge Of what
/ Democratic doctrine is and ought to be.
! In view OF the great and increasing num-
Der Of Democratic eIpansionists, to say
nothing OF the fact that expansion is already
a thing done. the political and economic
details OF which have to be provided for,
the attempt to make II Democratic issue
shows that misunderstanding of public
opinion and Of party management Of which
the bgwigs of Organism have given 30
many proofs. At any rate, there will DO
nothing irenic in that issue. 1t will make
more trouble among tho Bryanites. who
already have most Of the trouble there is.
A lot of Democrats believe in imperial
ism. Not safe to make an Issue out OF that.
All Democrats believe that bad Trusts are
bad. So do all Republicans. No issue can
bc Joined there.
Really, IL our st. Louis friend thirsts for
the blood OF the Octopus. there will be- no
help in political parties. A great citizen
and good Bryanite OF St. Louis, Col. MosE
wETMoRE. has found the road to triumph
over that devil OF tho deep. Col. MosE has
sold out one plant to tho Toba co Trust ut
an enormous advance over actual value
Now he is organizing another plant, doubt
less with the patriotic purpose of saddIing 1t
on tho monster This ia the only way to
beat the Trusts. "Stick them and stick"
them again provided they will bite and
buy. Col. MosE WETMoRE will do more
than all the resolutions OF all the Demo-
cratic conventions to make the Devil Fish
