No principle OF the party is SC
strong that it will withstand the
cravings of Democratic hunger for
Office and power. There is wide
spread sentiment among Democrats
that it would be better politics not
to make positive declaration this
year in favor of free coinage of
silver at the fixed ratio of 16 to l.
Even Bryan himself, while dcclar-
ing he would never consent that
the question Of ratio should be
passed over in the forthcoming
platform of the party, seems to be
yielding to the clamor of his Office
hungry advisers, and has let the
inference 60 out that he will be
satisfied with a sort Of general re-
affirmation of the Chicago plat
form without a specific mention of
free coinage and ratio. The votes
of the goldbugs are of more i'm
portance to the Democrats Just
now than adherence to stated prin-
ciple.

lpen Confession.

The New York World Demo
cratic be it renembered), puts
the futili*y of the free silver issue
thus:
Tbs reasons fer ''ignoring sill
YER" are ten times as strong this
year -as they were for ignoring the
tariff fsur years ago. 1t is again
"a condition an1 not a theory" that
confroats us. The condition is
now prosperity. -Four years ago
it Was calamity.
Free coinage of silver was de-
manded:
First-To Increase the supply of
money. The money supply has
increased $500, 10000 since 1896
far more than it could possibly
have>done under the free coinage
of silver. The bulk of money is
larger than ever before, the per
capita circulation higher and the
supply of both gold and silver
greater.
~Second-To enhance prices.
Both prices and wages have in
creased generally, co-incident with
if not consequent upon an un-
paralleled increase in the produc-
tion Of gold.
Third-Te relieve debtors. More
mortgages have been discharged
and other debts paid within the last
three years than in any equal per-
iod in a dozen years.
With the ends sought by an in
crease in metal money thus all So
cured, why persist in the demand! !!
Squatter sovereignty in regard
to slavery was once a ''fundament-
al principal'' of the Democratic
party. Weuld Mr.. Bryan siren
uously reafkrm this doctrine lest
the party lose the confidence of the
peoples Is there not such a thing
as fanaticism of consistency?

The anti-everything papers are,
of course, foreninst the course this
government is taking in the China
affair. However, it is easier for
the administration 10 withstand
this picayunish criticism than to take
the charge of cowardiso and the
righteous condemnation of every
christian religious organization in
the United States. Between the
question of saving American mis-
sionaries from massacre and pea
nut politics the two by four Bryan
ite organs are for politics first, last
and all the time.

We are told that the policy of
the Republican party mcnaces the
continuance of American liberty.
The man who argues that men like
Mckinley and Roosevelt, who both
risked their lives that others might
be free, stand for anything but
liberty in its broadest- sense, must
be either a "fool or a I4nave. -
There is more of the essence of
liberty in Roosevelt's, A'Give 'em

Missouri Democrats for Trusts.

A"SeANesssy ; sAS SAA<><SA NS' Va
Missouri, by Legislative enactments,
have been among the most active
foster parents of trusts, monopo-
lis and big corporations. The
proof is in existing laws as printed
in thc Revised Statutes of the state,
bearing on the title page the date
1899 and the congenial name Of
Lion V. Stephens, Governor"
In the ponderous first volume, on
page 433, section 1924, it is set
forth that "Any two corporations
now existing under general or
special laws, or which may here
after be created, whose objects and
business are in general of the same
nature, may amalgamatc. unite
and consolidate said corporations
and form one consolidated corpor-
alton, holding and enjoying all
the rights, privileges, power, fran
chises and property belonging to
each, and under such corporate
name as they may adopt Or agree
upon" A subsequent section
limits this power to manufacturing
corporations. When two corpor-
ations unite they arc authorized to
absorb a third, and so on ad in
finitum. 1t will be oberved that
the octopus has its lair in Missouri
as we'll as in New Jersey and that
the beast has been treated with the
greatest of consideration by the
Democratic Legislatures that have
originated and revised the laws of
Missoari for thi:ty years.
Ir a spirit ef accommodation to
trusts the legislators of Missouri
have provided by statute, section
1920, that q consolidated corpor-
ation may issue stock up to S1o,-
600, 900, a figure to which the
octopus ordinarily woulk have no
serious objection. BG5 the con-
solidation of the street railways OF
St. Louis involved a transaction on
8 much larger scale. The legis-
iation passed the desired law and
Gov. Stephens signeL it. 81 wss
! inclined to think it { trust produc-
! ton at first" said the Governos,,
/ land i felt that 1 eahould veto st
/ But its friends insist. that the tr~st
claim, lis unjust" The bill he sign.
ed, after prolonged ''deliberatior, y
authorizes street railways in Mis-
souri, to capitalize and bond to sny
extent their stockholders wish,
and to sell, buy and lease fsan-
chises and property. The law was
passed May 10, end the Governor
signed it June 8. But the statutes
of Missouri, as framed by Demo.
cmtic Legislatures, allow ANY
manufacturing corporations to con.
sslidate to the extent of $4,000,
0eo, and under this head comes,
for instance, tobacco trust,
which Col. Nose Wetmore claims
is q fungus alien 10 the soil of his
beloved state, IA octopus which
he has personally skinned alive by
selling out to it ut top price.
Next week Gov. Stephens will
be shining light at the Demo
cratic National Convention, a
delegate at large representing Mis-
souri, and will help to voice the
wild enthusiasm of the Missouri
democrats when the resounaine
plank against trusts shakes the
glad atmosphere. Augustus Van
Wyck will also be present aud he
will join in the acclaim regardless
of the fact that 1875 shares of the
Tammany ice trust, par value
s4s7, 900, passed through his
hands, and that HOO shares ere re.
ported to be still in his possession.
This ice trust simply proposed to
use the city docks in its business.
