been gold contracts. Under the free
coinage law there would undoubtedly
be provision by which the West
crn bullion would be presented to
the mint by tho Eastern banks and
form n basis of permanent and con
stant credit for all Western transac-
tions. The banks would control :ho
bullion and the rates of exchange,
and thus what they would lose by
the depreciation of contracts not al
ready in gold they would about make
even through their Western connect
ions. But the South produces no
bullion. 1t would have no need for
maintaining reserve in the East
such as would be created for the
benefit of the West by the bullion.
All of its contracts would be gold
contracts. For all of it's money il
would be dependent upon the East
and be compelled to pay whatever
rates the Eastern banks saw fit to
charge. Then a part of the same
schcmc was to prevent the Dcmocra-
tic policy OF the repeal Of the tax
upon State banks, in order to prevent

the Southern States from having any
circulating medium whatever for
local purposes. The West would
have its silver as basis for obtaining
the gold and the East would control
the gold the South would be pre-.
vented from even having paper, and
would be under the absolute and
complete and perfect control of the
East and West.
When | made fight in the House

Mr.. Bryan voted against it, and I in
vite your attention to his utterances
at this time, which fully confirm what
| say. Congressman Bailey, of
Texas, one of the ablest mon in the
United States, called my attention to
the sinister attitude Of Mr.. Bryan at
the time. The Western silver mine
owners were supposed at the time of
the Convention to put up the money
for the campaign. But the East had
become so largely interested in the
newly organized industries of the
South, and SO much Eastern money
had been withdrawn from the West,
and found profitable employment in
the South, that the Eastern bankers

are ruined" Tom Taggart, of Indi-
ana, himself silver man, worked
like beaver to keep that plank from
being inserted and served notice
upon his party that the Democrats
OF his State were not in sympathy
with it, and would not vote for the
candidate if nominated upon such a
platform. The vote was taken and
only fifteen States voted in favor Of
16 to 1. The Western delegates
weakened on the night of July 4 and
80 apprised Mr.. Bryan. by telephone
message to his leader, Mr.. Metcalf,
of Nebraska, he informed the con-
vention that he would not accept the
nomination if the reitcration of 16 to
l was not in the platform. 1t was
then too late to select another can
didate, although meetings were in
progress by at least twenty State
delegations, denouncing the man
who would 80 far desert the Demo-
cratic principle that the majority
shall rule, as to refuse to accept a
nomination upon Democratic plat
form that did not contain this now
principle of Democracy. 1t was too
late to concentrate upon another
candidate and Mr.. Bryan was nomi-
mated. The remark was general
among the Democrats on the trains
as they went to their homes that
they had been compelled to surrcn-
der and there was no hope of Bryan's
election. The Eastern leaders were
not surprised when Bryan was de-
feated by a greater majority of popu-
lar and electoral votes than in the
election of 1896.
When such men as Senator Vest,
David B. Hill, Grover Cleveland and
Don M. Dickinson discussed the re-
organization, Mr.. Bryan replied in
an editorial in The Commoner, the
plain pnrport of which was that he
considered himself the Democratic
party and declined to be rcorganized.
He has on various occasions in The
Commoner read out of tho party all

fee all Democratic principles to tho

For more than half n century
every Democratic Convention con
demned national bank and firmly
supported metallic currency. In
1880, 1884 and 1888 the Democratic
party declared in favor Of gold and
silver and paper convertible into
coin on demand. In 1892 it favored
the coinage of both metals under an
international agreement. In 1888
the Republican platform read:
"The Republican party is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver as
money and condemns the policy of
the Democratic Administration in
its efforts to demonetizc silver"
In 1892 the Republican platform
was identical in principle upon this
question with the Democratic plat
form of 1880, 1884 and 1888.
There have been protection Demo
Gratis ever since Madison and Cal
houn favored the protection doctrine.
There have been free trade Republi-
cans from the foundation of the gov
ernment.
Such men as Samuel j. Randall,
John Randolph and John G.. Cal
houn always spoke freely and clearly
whether or not they were in accord
with the platform of thoir parties.
The Democratic party has always
favored freedom of speech and
action. The Republican party has
always sought to centralizc the gov
ernment as to carry out the idea OF
Alexander Hamilton. The Demo
cratic party has been party that
has had for its policy the greatest
good to the greatest number, while
the Republican party, as a party,
has believed with Hamilton, it's
founder, in bcstowing benefits upon
the few, and only burdens upon the
many, until these ''lattor day saints
have led the Democratic party into
socialism, while rs to expansion and
subsidies the Republicans have taken
advantage of the situation and
boldly got upon the Democratic
platform.
They arc now upon the currency
question practically where the Demo
cratic party stood up to 1896. They
are now advocating the reciprocity
of Jackson and Pierce. They are
now advocating the Democratic
principle which is announced in the
Democratic convention of 1856 in
the matter of building the Pacific
railroad. They want to apply that
principle to our foreign commerce.

forced to abandon their own policy

his father and his grandfather" He
had been "rocked in Republican
cradle" and had "always lifted up
his voice in behalf of the Republi-
can party" Within a few weeks
after this remarkable speech he had
walked out of the only Republican
Convention to which he had ever
been delegate and joined tho Sill
vor Republican party. He went
home as Silver Republican and
two weeks later was nominated for
Congress as q Populist and endorsed
by the Democrats. He was nomi-
mated rs Vice President by the Popu-
lists and then went to Kansas City
and proclaimed to the Democratic
Convention that he was only mas
qucrading as Populist and Silver
Repr blican, and, rs q matter Of fact,
was Simon pure Democrat. He
then received as q Populist from the
Populistic Governor of Minnesota a
thirty-day appointment as Senator of
the United States, and placed him
self under the direct management of
Senators Pettigrew and Butler, one
a Republican and the other Popu-
list.
When party of men are willing
to see their party 60 down in defeat
in order that one issue may be main
tanned they either believe that this
issue lies at the very foundation of
all government, or else they have
some ulterior motive. In the case Of
the silver issue experience has proved
that, whether or not the free coinage
of silver is beneficial and the wisest
system of finance, yet the perpetuity
of our institutions does not depend
upon it. 1t is not an issue of such
magnitude as to justify the disor-
ganization of a political party in a
vain attempt to establish it. And
yet there can be no doubt that the
leaders of the Democratic party, who
were responsible for forcing that
issue in 1900, knew when they did
80 that they were cndangering the
life of the party, without in any way
making it possible to carry out their
design, even though elected. Had
the Democratic party succeeded the
Democrats from the States which
voted against that plank would have
voted against the legislation. This
would have defeated any Act sought
to be passed for the free coinage of
silver.
Had every State which voted for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver in the Convention of 1900
elected every Congressman Demo-
crat they could not have carried that
legislation. The Democrats them
selves from the States opposed to it
would have defeated it. If the en-
tire House of Representatives had
been Democratic majority of this
membership, as shown by the votes
of the States in the Democratic Con-
vention, would have opposed the free
coinage of silver. Then what was
the object of these mon? 1t would
seem that there could only be one
solution. The delegates from tho
West were personally interested in
the free coinage of silver for the rea-
son that, if carried out, it would open
up the Western silver mines and
double the value of Western prop
crty. Tho East would have been in
jured only by the unsettling of bust.

saw that thoy had as much to lose
by such an arrangement as they could
possibly gain and declined to enter
the arrangement demanded by the
Western mine owners. At this point,
which occurred when tho campaign
was at It's height, the promised con.
tribution to the Democratic treasury
failed to come in and several wealthy
silver mine owners made visits to
New York, then returned to their
homes and joined the Republican
party.

The trouble with the South has al
ways been its clinging to traditions
and its lack of practical wisdom, in
preventing the other sections from
imposing upon them by undcr-handed
means. The South is solidly Demo
cratic, for nowhere in the world is
there greater love for freedom of
speech, liberty of thought and action,
and absolute justice, which are the
foundation stones of the Democratic
party. But they were asleep in 1896
and 1900, and totally ignorant of tho
reasons for this new issue being
forced upon them. 1t was in the
Democratic platform and they, there
fore, voted for it. Now it behooves
them to consider why it was in that
platform, and they will learn that
instead of being Democratic it was a
counterfeit to be spurncd and cast
aside.
The South should now take advan-
tage of the fact that it controls tho
Democratic party and see to- it that
those principles of justice and equal
ity which lie at the foundation of
Democracy are not again departed
from, and that no scheme for tho en-
rlchmcnt of any section, for tho
benefit of any other section, shall
ever again be Incorporated into
Democratic platform.
