SILVER THE ISSUE.
Imp.riai,.m All Paiat and Feathers.

From he Memphis Commercial Appeal
II Is incomprehe en- -ible that many OF ose who
were most loud and voracious In their demand
for the free and unlimited coinage n silver
four years ago should make wry faces and gag
over It when II is offered to them now. They
seem to forget that diloyalty TO silver i ds-
loyalty TO Bryan. who Is the incarnation OF free
silver. They seem to forget that TO degrade
silver would be a breach Of faith with our allies,
the Free Silver Republicans and the Popuites
upon whom we must depend to carry the
Western States These people know nothing
about expansion. foreign commerce or our in
terest over seas. Many ~ them have never
seen water, except in a surface puddle or when
tax on from bored well They know nothing
about ships or shipping. OF foreign markets or
commercial highways They know Bryan and
free silver. and for these they are willing TO
abandon their own nominees and support the
Democratic ticket because the Democratic
ticket represents paramountly free silver. which
is their chief demand
These Westerners are sincere and earnest and
II will not do u play fast and loose with them
They will not stand any bunco game The
platform OF 1895 made free 81 YER the chief issue.
and the Kansas City platform indorsed the
Chicago platform In It's entirety. making free
silver again the chief issue. For fear that 1t
would not be so considered. the demand for
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver AT 1910
1 was Incorporated specifically In the Kansas
City platform by Mr.. Bryan's explicit directions
and against the lmpotnnt wishes of many Lead
ing Democrats.
The Imperialism plank in the platform, Ike
the feathers and paint on the Indian brave. are
good enough for show and to arouse enthu-
siasm. but Of very little use for effective fight
ing. The first demand is for the establi shment
OF a stable form of government In the Philip
pines a demand made to concilIate Eastern gold
bugs who hate silver and which means that We
must go into the schoolteaching business for sew
eral generations and complete the work begun
by the Sranlards 900 years ago. Stable gov
ernments are never rudimentary, They are

The Testimony Of tho Democratic
Platform.

II any Democrat believes that Imperial
ism" is really the paramount Issue. we
refer him 10 the Kansas City platform. We
regard Il imperialism as the paramount
issue oi the campaign" What better
proof could there be that In the opinion
Of the Democratic party imperialism was
not the paramount issue.
Parties are accustomed 70 lay their prn-
ciples before the public iu the order that
seems most appropriate and digniHed but
Designating one idea particularly as para
mount Is unheard ~. and the action at
Kansas City proves the Democratic belief
that the issue wanted for the front Of the
party canvass wouldn't get It in the natural
course Of events The extraordinary boost
the Democrats gave to Imperialism showed
how in their hearts they knew that In fact
the paramount issue was something else.
The reason for this noticeable lnnova-
tion has been correctly defined by Senator
HoAR. Imperialism was called para
mount" to mask the actually paramount
issue OF Organism with its repulsive threat
to law and the national credit.
