DEMOCRACY AND BRYANISM

James H. Eckles, one of the most
prominent Democrats in the country
and who was comptroller of the cur
rency in the second administration OF
President Cleveland and one OF the
comparatively few who remained true
to the old Democratic faith when the
bulk of the party became lost in the
wilderness of Populism and Socialism
three years ago in its wanderings after
strange gods, has little patience with
Bryanism and no hope of or desire for
Democratic success under BryaHlte
leadership. In recent interview he is
quoted as saving: ''The Democratic
party cannot take advantage of any
mistakes of the party in power, no
matter how grave they are, with the
present Democratic leadership. 1t has
not now, and it cannot gain, the conf
dence of any considerable part of the
conservative elements of the country
as long as it has u leadership preaching
discomfort and engendering class
hatred" And he goes on. mo good
Democrat can review the course pur-
sued by Mr. Bryan and those who are
acting with him and see what has
come out of it without believing that a
blunder worse than a crime is being
perpetrated by those who insist that
this leadership shall continue"
The situation of the party today, as
result of Organism, MIR. Eckels de-
scribes in detail, thus;
First-The party given over to social
ism in principles, leadership and follow
ing, with the consequent result OF loss IN
both leadership and following of all the
business and Independent elements OF the
country.
Second-The falling away of the organ
iZatiOn as a national one, and making OF
it almost wholly a local one bent only on
obtaining local standing and local offices.
Third-The elimination OF 1T as force
in the north and the lessening Of its inn
pOrtance in the south.
FOurth-The reputation by it OF all
Democratic principles, history and teach
ing concerning the money question, the
tariff, the cOuntry'S courts and the public
service.
Fifth-The publicly making it the sly
ing-in" asylum Of every element Of dis
content in the country, and the making
possible for political bastardy to claim
Democratic parentage.
SiXth-The depriving the country OF
the beneficent effects of strong, Intellect
ual, conservative opposition party at a
time when grave questions of public
policy, fir-reaching in their effects, are
being delt with by the party in power,
without the restraining influence that
would follow if the Democratic party
stood for something more than mere agi-
tation and opposition.
All of which is respectfully COM
mended especially to our Democratic
readers as Democrats opinion of the
Democratic party as it is today.

THE spread of Christianity in China,
as indicated by the Increasing demand
for Bibles, must be very gratifying to the
board of foreign missions. A returned
missionary says: "There was ur-
feigned rejoicing among all the mis-
sions in China and the churches in
America when the demand for Bibles
OR the part of our converts eliminated
in orders for $4,000 Bibles in one ship
ment. The remarkable number of new
Christians thus indicated, while it oc-
casioned much thankfulness in An eri
ca. caused the heads of the missionary
associations to set on foot an inquiry as
to the methods employed in saving the
souls of such an unusual number of
Celestials, and the nses to which they
put the Bibles sent them." This in
auiry is said to have revealed the fact
that the pious and thrifty Chinese had
used the paper of the $4,000 Bibles in
making wrappers for fire crackers.

THE New York Journal of Commerce
says: ut would he difficult to eXag-

the country is now enjoying, aud while
there are occasional warnings, and it is
prudent to remember that the rate of
increase in the volume of business in
the past few months cannot he indefin-
itely continued, it is also true that there
are at present few clouds upon the COM
merciai sky, and there is the utmost
confidence ia trade circles that existing
conditions will last for some time.
Wages in almost every line of industry
have been advanced, and in many in
stances a second and even third ad-
vance has been made since the begin-
ming of the year, the deposits and loans
of the banks as we'll as their clearings,
the activity of all manufacturing
plants, and the distribution of goods
from all centers, afford evidence of a
degree Of prosperity that has never
been exceeded, and in which there is
SO moderate an element of speculation
that it is reasonable to expect its con-
tinuance for considerable period"
