TINE COMMlTTEEMENS VIEWS.
Unless the Democratic leaders show .
keener political perception than was
manifested In the interviews with the
national committeeman AZ printed In
yesterdays Post-Inteiligenoer. the par
~ will be weaker at the elections OF
1900 than II has been At any time within
the past twenty-five years.
Three principles appear to the COM
mitteemen to be shaping themselves
into form for campaign Issues. One OF
these Ii silver. and the two others are
trusts and expansion. A difference Of
opinion exists upon the last named SUBJ
tect. but the consensus drifts toward q
positive and advanced declaration Of
hostility to trusts.
Consistency will require the party to
declare for free coinage and to rean,rm
the Chicago platform in general, But
II II almost inexplicable that the lead
ers Of any party In politics should not
perceive that expansion and trusts are
both permanent and lrrevocable, and
that the most active political factors
win not be potent to check them. Elk
pansion Itself can no more successfully
stand as an issue than could Buddhism
In India What the people Of the
United States are now interested In is
not the advisabiiity OF expanding. but
the commendabiiity OF this, that or the
other plan Of managing the territory
into which the country has expanded.
What Is wanted IL q declaration OF FUN
damental principles and a formulating
OF schemes OF government adaptable 20
the new conditions
Trusts are a logical and inevitable de.
velopment Of the times. and II Ia as fu-
tile To declare abstraesly against them
as Ii Is TO declare against expansion.
Democracy fails utterly to comprehend
the true function OF political party
