An Immediate Issue.

From President McKinleys Letter of Accept.
ance)
rN ALL THREE platforms these
parties (the Democratic, Popu
Il list and Silver Republicans who
have each nominated Bryan,
announce that their efforts shall be un-
ceasing until the gold act shall be
blotted from the statute books and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
16 to shall take it's place.
The relative importance of the issues
l do not stop to discuss. All of them
are important. whichever party is
successful will be bound in conscience
to carry into administration and legis-
lation its several declarations and doc
trines. One declaration will be as OBJ
ligatory as another but all are not inn
mediate. 1t is not possible that these
parties would treat the doctrine OF 16
to I, the immediate realization of which
is demanded by their several platforms.
as void and imperative in the event
that they should be clothed with pow
er. Otherwise their profession of faith
is insinCere. 1t is therefore the i'm
perative business of those opposed to
this financial heresy to prevent the
triumph of the parties whose union is
only assured by adherence to the silver
issue. VIII the American people,
through Indifference or fancied secur-
ity, hazard the overthrow of the wise
financial legislation of the past year
and revive the danger of the silver
standard with all of the inevitable
evils of shattered confidence and gen.
eral disaster which justly alarmed and
aroused them in 1896?
The Chicago platform Of 1896 is re-
affirmed in its entirety by the Kansas
City convention. Nothing has been
omitted or recalled; so that all the
perls then threatened are presented
anew with the added force of a delib-
crate reaffirmation. Four years ago the
people refused to place the seal of
their approval upon these dangerous
and revolutionary policies and this
year they will not fail to record again
their earnest dissent.

1t is true that the Bryan of 1900 is

were either mistaken in opposing him

their intelligence to assume that they
are influenced by Bryan's new scare
crows of "imperialism'' and "militar-
ism" These may frighten the weak
minded and timid, hut they represent
no ;crrOrs for men of Nv Oneys type.
They know better than to shy at such
phantoms.
The real explanation is simple. They
are looking to future results. Bryan
following his defeat in 1896, developed
such personal popularity among the
Democratic masses that his opponents

vent his renOminatiDn. They tried
their best to sidetrack him and failed.

presidential candidate. However
prominent he may remain as a public

do not mean to say that another de-

"<HE DEMOCRATS are not

II this year, -Four years ago
the people of that state
were solemnly and repeat tedly assured
by the Bryan spellbinders that the
election of Mckinley with its indorse-
ment of the gold standing would spell
ruin to Kansas interests. The facts
have not borne this prophecy out.
The value Of live stock in Kansas
has increased from S75, j65, 900 in 1896
TO sl99,057,O92 in 1899, while the value
of the farm products has risen from

cultural products in 1896 was $751;
