Democratic Prospects.

mlttec. A. W. Maxwell, Chairman.
Democratic Prospects.
The Democratic conventions Of the
past ten days have done much to
forecast the action of the st. Louis
convention. The vigorous and bra
zen attempt to induce the democrat
ic party to nominate a candidate
more acceptable to the trusts than
President Roosevelt hss fallen flat. |
Real democrats are going to control
the St. Louis convention by large
majority, unless something arises to
divide them, The Chicago and
Kansas City platforms, so far as ap-
plicable to present conditions, can be
safely Endorsed and reaffirmed. But
it would be extremely unfortunate
not to recognize difference between
present conditions and those of eight
years ago. Mr.. Bryan will be
member of the platform committee,
and if he rises to the importance and
advantages Of the occasion he can
write the platform Of this year and
be Of more service to his party and
his country than any other man in
the nation.
The increased production of gold,
the coinage Of the silver seigniorage
and the additions which have been
made to our paper currency during
the past eight years have SO increased
the, country's circulating medium
that the money question is not now
Of paramount Importance.
The battle this year is between
public veal and private graft Tbs
= TO Ills charge III niissours last VA
tected by tariff schedules specially
prepared for their benefit, are rob
bing the American people and per-
verting the government.
The democratic platform should
strike at this gigantic evil all along
the line, and nominate presidential
candidate whose record will afford
an unmistakable guarantee agains
a continuance of the present unlaw
full exactions of predatory wealth
The men who were traitors to the
democratic party in 1896 can be re
lied upon to vote against such plat
form and such a candidate, but they
will constitute but a small Fraction
Of the st. Louis convention. Witt
most Of these men the ratio objec
ton to the platform Of 1896 wal
only pretense. Their real objec
ton was much broader and NOR,
deeply seated. Taken as a whole
the democratic platform Of 1896 wa.
a declaration in favor Of placing
human rights above property rights
and that was why it was SO vehe
mently assailed by every plutocrati,
interest in the country. Let TIN
platform and candidate Of the part,
this year be such as will drive tn,
forces OF plutocracy out into thu
open. Make the issue squarely be
tween democracy and plutocracy
and the people can be relied upor
for their support.
The big stick" administration a
Washington has no great hold upol
the people. 1t is an administration
Of many words and few deeds. TIL
people have no assurance of relic
from the exactions Of private graft
while the republican party retain
control Of the federal government
and they are ready to support GU
party's candidate if he is the RICH
kind Of a man.
