was based fundamentally on this prin-
ciple. This was the distinctive Demo-
cratic dogma. taught by jefferson and
by every statesman or public man of
the historic Democracy.
The present Democracy is facing d.
rectly opposite, and is moving towards
state socialism with rapid strides.
Whenever 1t has any programme. save
opposition to the Republican party, that
programme contemplates radical
changes in the laws and the manner OF
their administration, all in the direction
of enlarging the powers Of government
at the expense of individual liberty. 1t
advocates, tentatively. state ownership
of all quasi-public utilities, such as rail-
roads, telegraph lines and the like;
government monopolization of the bank
ing business, with practically unlimited
issuance of paper money: state pur-
chase of the product of silver mines. at
double its market price in terms OF
the unit of value; state regulation of
private contracts on the subjects of the
hours of labor and the terms of pay
ment, as well as state control of many
other matters affecting the relations of
labor and capital. In fact, an analysis
OF any proposed legislative programme
presented from any Democratic source
shows that 1t contemplates some
Strengthening of the powers of the
state, some limitation of the liberties
of the individual.
1t does not follow that on all Of these
propositions the Democracy is complete
ly in the wrong; but it does follow that
on each of them it occupies an attitude
Numerically opposed to that which was
held by all its historic leaders. from
Jefferson down to Cleveland.
The historic Democratic party is dead
The party now masquerading under the
Democratic name has nothing in COM
mon with the party Of the past. So dis
tinctly is this recognized that scarcely
a Democrat of the old school has any
weight in its councils. and almost all
of its leaders of ten years ago are ex-
cluded from participation therein. Those
who remain are the plant ones, who
have parted with their principles, and
a few who cannot shake off their at
tachment to the Democratic name; who
cannot reconcile themselves to acting
with any other party. but dazed and
bewildered, have dropped In behind the
new and reckless leaders. and follow
their guidance without strength to
bring the party back to its old moor
ings.

Railroad Lobbyist Honored.

The feature of the Missouri Demo-
Gov. Stone, who poses as. one OF the
leaders of the party in the nation. made
against Col. Phelps. Col. Phelps made
notable speech in his own defense,
explaining his position as follows:
'Stone says his fight against me is not
personal, but is because l am In the
service Of the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company. / have never denied that I
am lobbyist, but he, too, is one. We
both suck eggs. but he hides the shells"
The Missouri Democratic convention
thereupon elected this confessed rail-
road lobbyist to head the delegation to
the Kansas City convention, and eveued
the matter by giving him as an asso-
ciate Gov Stone, his assailant. who
does his lobbying work for corpora
lions under cover
1t will be in accord with the eternal
fitness of things to select for the SUBJ
committee to draft the portion of the
proposed platform on the subject of
railroads, corporations and trusts Col.
Phelps of Missouri. Augustus Van
wyck Of New York. and some one of
the Montana delegation. In the latter
selection it depends on the determine
ton OF the contest whether the Mon
tana man will be the personal represen-
tative of Clark, the briber, or whether
he will represent the copper trust. In
either event he will be well qualified
to act In harmony with the delegates
from Missouri and New York in writ
ing vigorous denunciations of corpora
tons. for campaign purposes A rail-
road lobbyist. an Ice trust magnate and
the hired henchman OF a mining mil
lionaire. who is trying to buy his way
into the United States senate. would
constitute pretty effective trio of
platform builders for the new Democ-
racy. the performances OF which give
the lie to its platform pretenses, on
all economic subjects.
1t may be observed in passing that
the fact that a man was known to be
heavy stakeholder in one of the mean
est and most oppressive of all OF the
trusts was not held by the New York
Democracy as any disqualification for
candidate for delegate to a national
convention; and now the Missouri De-
mocracy decide that the profession of
railroad lobbyist is passport to high
position in the Democratic ranks. In
hypoeritical false pretenses. the Mis-
souri, Democracy apparently occupies
precisely the same plane as Tammany
Hall

Good Outlook for Wheat.
There has been very general ten
dency to discount the stories OF dam
age to wheat in Minnesota and North
and South Dakota. as part OF the bull
campaign TO force up the price. but
more recent reports seem to indicate
that the first reports were rather con-
servative. and that the damage Is
more general widespread and com
plete than was anticipated even by the
most alarming OF them. As a result.
the price OF wheat Is advancing In the
great speculative markets OF the coun-
try. at rate never known save when
some daring Spectator has endeavored
to corner the market. At the present
time. however. II is admitted by the
authorities that there Is no evidence
OF manipulation of market. but that
the rise Is due to the actually existing
prospect Of shortage, The advance II
not confined TO the speculative centers
