II of acceptance is probably the most
important unofficial document is
sued in this country in quarter of
century. The President takes the coun-
try into his confidence and throws new
light upon the history of the past two
years. Irrespective of its caustic arraiSn-
rnent of the critics OF the administration
and its forcefui clinching of the fact that
Organism means the Immediate de-
struction of the gold standard and sub
s4itution therefor of free silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to /, tie letter is i'm
portant in the historic sense because it
gives the American people their first
knowledge of the craftsmanship and CON
ditions connected with recent epoch-nak
ing events
The President. although by nature
mild and conciIiatory nam, can be arous-
ed to point of dangerous comba tiveness,
and when the mood is him he becomes
of the mcst effective debaters we
have had in this country for many years
In his letter he wastes time in what
might be called preliminary sparring, but,
having definitely located the enemy's
vital spot, which is the free silver heresy,
he strikes at it with force and precision
The financial question, he says, may not
be the paramount issue, but it is the i'm
mediate issue. cit will admit of de-
lay and will suffer no postponement-"
For has not the Democratic party declar
ed for the Immediate" coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to L? And is there any
doubt that Mr.. Bryan, who insisted upon
the insertion of the silver plank in the
platform, against the advice of the best
men in the party, will use every means,
if he is elected, to carry his principles
into practice?
After paying the tribute of his regret
that the Democratic party by its nominee
and its reiteration of the free silver plank
of 1896 has made it necessary for the
voters to reaffirm their decision of four
years ago in favor of the existing gold
standard, President Mckinley boldly
picks up the gage of battle on the issue
of Imperialism. What that issue IS he
states most happily in u single paragraph
near the end Of his letter. After he has
marshaled the facts which place the
whole controversy in the clearest posi-
BILE historical light before the reader, he
says:
The American question is be
tween duty and desertion-the
American verdict will be for duty
and against descrtion, for the Re
public against both anarchy and
imperialism
As campaign document the letter is
regarded phenomenally strong But
it is more than campaign document. 1t
is a contribution to history The Presi-
dent deals candidly with the American
people. He is not afraid to tell them
what he has done or why he did it. He
deals in facts rather than in arguments.

Some 40 years ago a young Minnesota

lily consumption existed. advertised in
an Eastern paper for correspondence
with young lady with view to matri-
mony. He prescribed that she should
be of dark complexion Che was very
fair), that she was to be of medium
height Che was talD. etc. He received
number of replies: correspondence
followed with one of the ladies, and
they eventually married, and instead of
raising a breed of scrofulous children
the union has been blessed with q very
healthy, capable family.
This was applying the scientific prin-
ciples of matrimony, and certainly as
much care should be manifested in
breeding human beings as in raising
horses or cattle. Id.

i. X. Jones.


J. X. Jones. of Arkansas, the national
chairman of the Democratic party, is
much in evidence now. His praises are
being sung in the Democratic papers.
1t should not be forgotten that Jones
introduced and spoke in favor of bill
to issue $500, 100000 of bonds to in
crease the national bank circulation to
par value of bonds deposited, to reduce
per cent year. and to call In and de-
stroy the precious greenbacks. This was
his bid for the support of Wall street
and the money power generally. The
bill further provided for the purchase
Of all silver bullion offered at the Lon
don prices. This was a bid for the sup
port Of the silver mine owners. 1t was
only the year before Bryan was nomi-
mated that Jones introduced and spoke
in favor of this horrible bill. At the
SO convention which nominated Bryan
Jones was elected chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee and is still
chairman, with fine prospects for re-
election II he wants to serve again.
During his absence In Europe, ex-Gov.
William J. Stone, of Missouri, acted as
chairman. Take Jones' bond bill and
Phelps recent exposure of Stone as
lobbyist, and it seems to us such of our
Populist brethren as have faith in the
new" Democracy must bexin To have
their doubts.-MissOuri World.
