If there ever was time when
Missouri Republicans were enoour-
aged to lay aside their factional
differences, if such differences real
ly exist, it is this year, when they
have many reasons to believe that
by solid and united fight the
state can be wrested from the grasp
of the Democracy. We do not be-
lieve that factionalism over "pie''
distribution has been the cause OF
Republican defeats in Missouri
heretofore. The state has been
Democratic from sentiment and
sectional prejudice, and Democratic
maiorities were accepted as matter
of course, to which Republican pie
fights contributed little or nothing.
However, now that by the slow
process of party accretion the
Republican vote in the state al.
most balances that of the Demo.
Gratis, whatever differences the Re-
publicans may have had in the past
be their effect upon the party's
chances large or small, let them be
buried in the interest of party sue
cess and better day for the whole
people of Missouri.

The present Democratic llat-
form is silent on the money qnes-
tion, which is an acknowledgement
that the party is satisfied with the
present money doctrine and that it
considers silver a dormant issue.
Now those who left the party, and
thus enabled tho Republicans to
win, can and will come back and
help their own party 20 wiu.-Lead
Belt News.
The above is fair example of
how the Democratic press accepts
the party's national platform on
the money question, and it demon
strates beyond all pcradvcnture
that the party is resorting to bunco
tactics to get control Of the gov
ernment. Recognizing the fact
that the Republicans have made a
successful issue of the gold stan.
dard not only as it relates to party
success, but as it touches the vital
interests of the people as well, the
Democracy has made sneak to
the gold standard under false pre-
fences, with the hope that it will
mean success to that party at the
next election. The silver issue is
not dead, but only dormant
The time of its revivification woult!
be short indeed were the Democrats
put in control of the government.
The Democrats are two to one
against the gold standard as shown
by tho vote on the proposition to
insert gold plank in the party's
platform. This overwhelming
sentiment in the party against the
gold standard is a dangerous ele-
ment in the present campaign.

stability of the country's monetary

MIR. Bryan and the papers which
have regularly followed his lead
are hardly within the bounds of
consistency by their off f-hand ac-
ceptance Of Judge Parker as the
Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. Bryan's Common

nothing to retract. All they have
ever said about Parker and that
element Of the party which is re.
sponsible for his nomination is just

In the present campaign under
the leadership of Judge Parker the
Democrats have only one rea! is
sue, as Senator Daniels of Virgini;
intimated in St. Louis during the
recent convention. He was tir'
ed of being everIastingly in the
minority party and was ready to
adopt any road that would lead
the Democratic party to success.
Therefore, the real and only issue
of that party is the offices, and un
less they get in this time the old
party will be in fair way to 90
to pieces. That it is no longer
stable upon any fundamental prin-
ciple is evident from the fact that
it can and does abandon its former
policies so readily.

Young Man Is Drowned.

Frank Smart, aged twenty-five
WAS drowned in Little St. Francois
river about four miles southwest of
Fredericktown last Saturday night.
Young Smart with seven other
friends was seining in the river,
when about 10 o'clock the seine
got caught on root under twelve
feet of water. Smart dived to the
bottom to free the net and, it is
thought. he tried to kick it loose,
RS his foot was hung between the
lead line and net when his dead
body was taken from the river at
$50 o'clock Sunday morning, after
eight and one half hours of hard
work by his friends in trying to
get him out. During this time
two of the others came near losing
their lives on account of the swift
ness of the water.-Farmington

Democratic issues never live to
be four year olds.
The country is not yet ready to
forget the four years of Cleveland
disaster between 1898 and 1897.
There is more prospect OF the
Republicans carrying Missouri
than there is of their losing New
York.
There are no surface indications
that the American workman wants
to extend his soup house expert
ences.
Voters are invited by the Repub-
lican party to study its record; the
Democrats earnestly hope that
theirs may be forgotten.
1t is funny how an American
workman loses his hearing in the
presence of the calamity shouters
as soon as he opens bank account.
Prices are again tending toward
the normal level; there is work for
every man at good wages, with II
margin for saving, and prosperity
for all legitimate industries. Stand
pat.
An idea of Democratic harmony
may be gained from the fact that
every leader lodges and shudders
when another leader indorses him,

Bryan was noble figure in the
st. Louis convention, but his alti-
tude shrank quickly when he stul-
titled his own conscience at the de-
mand OF party expediency. No
man can sacrifice his convictions
in what he holds to he a high NOR
al principle without dwindling in
the estimation of his fellow man.
In the convention Bryan elevated
principle far above the man and
since the convention he accepts the
man at the expense Of his moral
consciousness

The tariff is to be paramonnted
again by our Democratic friends
this year. The last time they won
it was on this issue, and they seem
to feel it will lead them to success
once more. We must admit they
were successful in fooling the peo-
pie several times with this issue,
but it has always turned ont after
ward that the people were the chief
ones to regret it. The Democrats
assume in this campaign that there
are enough people who can be
fooled all the time to give the old
bunko party reason to hope for
SuoceSS.

Democratic leaders are denounc-
ing MIR. Bryan for standing on the
platform of his party. There is
no other political organization in
the world that places premium
on desertion.
Democratic managers are now
telling what they expect their par
ty to do under wise leadership. 1t
would certainly be novel expert
ence to the rank and file to find
themselves under wise leadership.
Democrats declare they want to
clean out the Augean stables. The
appearance of the men selected for
the task causes a natural suspic-
ion that it would be the part of
wisdom to lock up the fork.
The Republican party found an
empty treasury and n financial dis

These have given place to a larger
