Bryan, who had harshly criticised Senator.
ain for his failure to give his cordial
support to the national Democratic ticket
in 1895 We asked Mr.. Bryan If. in the
event Of the adoption OF the gold stand
ara platform and the nomination of a
gold standard Democrat in 1904, he would
support the ticket? We asked him II he
would not bolt and call his followers off
IL such platform should be promulgated
and such Democrat nominated?
II Mr.. Bryan has replied to these ques-
IT, MS we have not seen his answer. but
OK. Senator Pettigrew. OF South Dakota.
has replied for him. He says that Mr..
BRYAN will not be candidate for the
Democratic nomination in 1904 and in the
event that the convention is controlled
by the Hill and Cleveland factions" Mr.
BRYAN and his associates will form party
of their own.
We do not know that Mr.. Pettigrew is
auth orlzed to speak for Mr.. Bryan. but
We doubt not that he speaks truly. MI
Bryan is not specially attached to the
Democratic organization. He is sort
Of free lance. He is man OF strong
convictions, and unless the Democratic
party adopts those principles and poll
cies in which he believes he will have
rolling to do with the organization.
We should not be at all surprised to
see Mr.. Bryan at the head of a third
party in 1901 ano we should not be sur
rr:sed to find as one OF the main planks
in his party's platform the demand for
government ownership and control of rail-
roads and telegraph lines and complete
supervision of trusts

THE MISSOURI PLATFORM.

which declared for the free coinage Of

3 In 1896 there were honest differences OF
opinion as to whether or not this prop
osiuon was practicable and desirab
Strong arguments were brought in lavol
Of the free coinage OF silver, and many
honest and sensible men believed tina;
this was necessary to restore prosperity
But prosperity has now come under the
gold standard-euch prosperity as this
country never enjoyed-and at the pres.
back. On the contrary. all our indus.
tries are as busy as they can be- The
people ere proftably employed. The
railroads are hauling all the stuff thai
they can handle and making enormous
earnings The finances of the govern.
men1 are IN good condition. The banks
are all sound: and, while every now and
then there Is q pinch in the money mar.
ket; there is plenty Of money for leg
innate purposes at a fair rate OF inter-
est,
But In spite Of all these favorable con-
ditione. the Democrats Of Missouri would

worth only 43 cents an ounce and al
though silver dollar is intrinsicaly

Such proposition must present 1t
self to the thoughtful men of the land
rs being absurd and reckless. We can
aoi think that the Democrats of Mis-.
souri, are sincere in what they say. We
cannot think that II they had the power
thew would do this reckless thing. A,
any rate. we are sure that this PROPOSE
don viii not commend itself to the great
body OF Democrats in the United States
and that If the National Democratic
party should make a fight next fall upon
such q platform it would not command
ene votes OF one-half Of those who all

SOUTHERN RAILROADS.

The runor is revived In New York tina,

i commonly called community OF IN

3 win be necessary to organize Southern
securities company similar to the North
ern Securities Company. whose province
win be to hold the securities OF tnese
various roads In trust 50 that there may
Be no clash between the several interests
involved.
II is a great scheme, and II Mr.. Nor
nan should attempt to do such a thing
he would probably be opposed at various
points In tho South Just as he was OPP
posed In the Northwest when he orga'
nized the Northern Securities Company
The people sec in all such organizations
q dangerous monopoly and they are nat
orally afraid Of 1t. But cooperation
= the order Of the day. and whether o.
not this merger is accomplished. soone
ar later the Southern roads will be OPP
Grated In harmony, for in harmony there
Il profit
For long time there was cut-throat
competition between tho roads. Each
road tried to get tho business by reduo
mr. tho rate. and the rate was frequent
! " cut to figure which was less than
the cost Of operation.
And SO one after another the railroads
nj fhe
stockholders lost enormously. Nor was
there any special benefit to the patrons
OF the road. On the contrary, merchants
complained that under this system there
was no uniformity Of rates and they d1f
not know how to mako their own plans
for the future, as so much depended upon
tbs rate which they received. 1t was
all confusion and disorder and embar'
rassment. and there was not large job
ber IN the land who did not prefer
uniform rate to q rate that was forever
varying. even though the uniform rate
might have been somewhat higher.
business man can stand anything bet
ter than uncertainty.
AS to the railroads themselves. they
have become under the new system pay
ing properties. They have been able to
Improve their rcadbeds and equipment
until the railroads OF the United States
are in frst-class physical condition. By
putting down heavy rails. Strengthening
their bridges and charging their cars
and their locomotives they are in posi-
ton to do business at a lower rate than
ever before and yet at a good profit. AS
consequence. nearly all the railroads
which were so recently in the hands of
receivers have been reorganized and put
on a good paying basis. and the majority
of railroad stocks in this country are
now regarded as safe investments.
The men who manage the railroads are
good business men, and having seen th
good sense and good results Of the com
munity-of interest" plan they are not
apt to abandon it. It may not be per
raitted in law for the railroads to form
4 merger. but by one plan or another
harmony will prevail.

Boil the corn on the ears for ten min

crock. make a brine strong enough to
bear up all egg, and pour it over the corn
until it is covered. Stir we'll with wood

jar thin cloth with salt on it. When
ever you take out any corn, replace the
sailed cloth.
When you wish to use some of the
corn, take it out and soak for some hours
in cold water. changing this frequently.
If too salt you may let it come to boil
in the last water.
Dried Apples.
Peel and slice firm apples, spread In

There is no more gratifying evidence

an estimated crop this year of 10000 600
bales. about 40 per cent, OF, 4. 156, 600 bales.

OF this amount, 900 600 bales will pc
taken by Northern mills and 1,obo,Voo

Discussing on the sugar industry and
the present troubles of the West India
Islands. the Charleston News and Cou-
rier says:
The most curious feature of the gem
eral problem which confronts all these
West Indian peoples in common is their
asserted and apparent utter dependence
for prosperity on one single product and
that an agricultural one. According to
all accounts nature has made their coun-
try the garden spot of the world and
yet they are depressed to the verge of
in dustrial. financial and moral ruin. II
they cannot make and sell sugar alone
at profit. It is strange condition
truly. and one that is not shared, we be-
lieve, by any other people in all the
world
Speaking of the growing disposition Of
the people of North Carolina to diversity
their industries the Raleigh Times says:
Cotton mills are still increasing, but
not SO rapidly. Furniture factories are
still multiplying. But during the past
few months cotton Oil mills have be-
come the fashion and eight or ten have
been incorporated This movement diff
fers from the boom in cotton and furni-
ture factories in that the producers
themselves are the leaders. The major
ity of the stock in several oil mills is
owned by the farmers living in the To-
cality, and they agree that sufficient seed
shall be furnished to insure the success
of the mill Some Of the charters con-
tain the unique provision that no divi-
dend can be paid on a share Of stock
unless the owner of the share has sold
the mill certain amount of seed per
share during the season."
Tho Atlanta Constitution makes a
strong plea for a postal currency. and
adds this suggestion:
1.-The merchants and people generally
who need this great agency for safe and
easy ren1fttan noes of money should make
the fact known to their member Of Con-
gTess, so that when he returns to the
next session he will know what Is eS
pected Of him in relation to this measure.
It is a good measure and should be made
law at the earliest practicable day."
