Ten-cent cotton, says the Baltimore
Sun, demolishes tho best argument Mr..
Bryan ever had tor silver imitation.
Planters of cotton can now soc that
cheap silver does not necessarily mean
low-prioed cotton, but that cotton, like
grain and other things. rises and falls
under the law of supply and demand.
Pcpocrats told us that We should never
again get above 5-cent cotton so long as
we had the gold standard. The hund
that "struck down" silver struck down
the honest farmer, and the only hope of
the latter WAS to remonetize silver. Yet
here is cotton going sltyward, while
silver still lies PROSTATE and the Gold
Standard bill has beer passed by Con-
gless. The goldbugs seem to be having
their way, but, nevertheless, cotton
goes up. The fact is that cotton, grain
and silver go high or low according to
supply and demand. Now that tine
cotton supply is small and the pros
pectiye demand is large. prices naturally
advance. When grain was scarce, not
long ago, it went above dollar a
bushel, Notwithstanding the low Price
of silver. Experience since 1896 has
shown clearly that there is absolutely
no connection between the price oil
commodities and the price of silver.
Oceans of rhetoric have been poured
out by the silverite orators to prove
such a connection, but facts refuted
them. Some apology is now due from
The orators to the voters whom they
misled in 1896.

Why Bryan and nrynnisme

Tho Philadelphia Ledger aptly de-
scribes the political situation, SO far as
the Democratic party is concerned, in
the following editorial conclusion:
The politicians seem to fear that IL
they do not claInor for Organism, they
will be denied admission to the Kansas
City convention. 1t is so with the
New York, Pennsylvania and other
Eastern States. The West and South
will dominate the convention; they
will favor Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago
platform, and the Eastern delegates
will be hold in line through the posi-
hlity, faint, though it may be, Of
Federal patronage. II the Democratic
rnity is to rehabilitate itself that work
would seem 10 be cut out for 1904
rather than 1900. At present the party
cannot get away from Mr.. BRYAN, and
no cannot get away from his record and
his speeches.
But why should Democratic poi-
ticians fear that If they do not bow the
knee to bryan and Organism they will
be ostracised in the inner circles Of
Democracy? Is it not within the
memory Of thousands OF Democratic
voters that Democracy WAS name to
coniure with before William j. Bryan
was bern? That the Democratic party
carr led the country on the popular vote
in 1876 with Samuel J. Tilden. and in
1884 and 1892 with Grover Cleveland,
and that when these candidates were
nominated there were able Democratic
contestants with them for the nomina
tions in the con, entions which chose
them? Is the Democratic party brought
to such pass that the Nebraska Popu.
list, the man who never avowed himself
Democrat until his nomination fol
President at Chicago in 1896. is the
only man within its ranks worthy ot
being the party's nominee for the
Presidency
If the Democratic party is reduced tt
such straits. then indeed DOES it con
fess its incompetency and inoapacit,
to the country. But it need not. Their,
are Democrats aplenty who would no
only make Just as good candidates TO
President as Bryan, but would stand |
much better chance OF election than tn
man who was SO overwhelmingly re
pudiated by his party, as we'll as b.
the people, four years ago.
Is it necessary that the Democratic
party shall commit political suicide II
the camraien of 1900 for the sake o
one William j. Bryan?
