many engagements which have since

the bayonet charge must still be re-

such also Is one Of the lessons now
being taught in the war in the Trans

the Afrikanders distressed the British
troops beyond the point Of endurance
a dlslodgement had TO be effected by
deliberately facing the storm Of flying

THE GOLD STANDARD WILL BE
MAINTAINED.

The republican party never made
promise in its national platform which
wasn't carried out to the letter ON the
first opportunity. 1t will be so with
the ST. Louis declaration concerning
the necessity for legislation fixing the
country permanently on the gold
standard basis. The bill prepared by
the recess caucus committee is as une-
quivocal in its scope and purpose to
establish the gold standard az the
staunchest sound money advocate
could desire. In spite of the protests Of
a few weaklings in congress and else
where on the score Of party inexpedi-
ency 1t will become a law substantially
as agreed to by the committee Every
republican should understand the char
ac.er and object Of the proposed law.
il cannot be appreciated or discussed
on It's merits without this knowledge.
Practically, the standard is gold at
the present time and has been for
many years. Nobody would have any
doubt that the standard would b.
maintained so long as the republican
party remains in control OF the govern
ment But II, by any mischance, a
democratic president and congress
would get into power, the standard
would BE- changed Immediately withou.
any legislation All that the democrat
&c president would have to do would
be to direct that the debt Of the gov
ernment be paid in silver, and the gold
standard, and every dollar If gold in
the treasury would disappear at once.
il Bryan had been elected in 1896 that
very thing would have been done. II
he should be- elected in 1900 the .am-
thing would occur In fact, the gold
standard would disappear Immediately
after tha election If he were chosen, for.
on the day after word Of bis election
reached the country, a raid would be
made ON the treasury 50 as 10 head off
Bryans intention Of making the gov
ernments obligations payable in silver
which would quickly sweep every dol
lar Of gold out Of the governments
hoard aud mecipitate the country t.
the silver basis before the base money
president could be inaugurated.
This peril will be averted by re-
publican legislation in the coming ses.
sion of congress. This bill to take
away the option Of the govern
ment's obligations in silver viii be pre-
scented simultaneously in the senate
