most of us imagine to the laws
which govern the human mind. In
politics mental calm frequently
precedes capricious and violent
changes.
For example: In 1888 there was no
opposition to the nomination Of
Grover Cleveland at st. Louis. Ii
was a sort of pink tea affair, a good
deal like the Roosevelt convention
in Chicago last week. Mr.. Cleve-
land had made a good president
and his friends and supporters were
safely in possession of all the federal
offices. But he was overwhelmingly
defeated at the election that year.
Four years later, when the democrats
held their national convention in
Chicago, everything was different,
There was difference of opinion
and u sharp struggle between the
supporters of opposing candidates
And when Cleveland finally won ii
made good many sore spots, but al
the election that year the republican
party sustained the most crushing
defeat in it's history.
There is nothing in the dissimilal
national conventions Of this year tc
discourage democrats.

When the democrats, under the
leadership of Mr. Bryan commenced
their fight against the scarce money
schemers, there were in round num-
bers only eighteen hundred millions
of lawful money in this country;
and, as a natural result, prices were
low and legitimate business Of all
kinds was demoralized. Now when
we have twenty eight hundred mil
lions of circulating medium, prices
are much higher and business con.
ditions much improved. In theil
battle with the scarce money
schemers the democrats have render
ed their country a great service.

Dissimilar National Conventions.

There will be marked contrast
this year between the national con-
ventions Of the two great political
parties in this country. Probably
never in our history will the conven-
tions which nominate presidential
candidates be more unlike.
A sort Of low barometer condition
enveloped and shaped everything
that was done at the republican con-
vention in Chicago last week.
There was little expressed differ
ence Of opinion, no deliberation. no
debate, no external pressure.
Everything dragged along in a limp
and spiritless manner. But when
the democrats assemble in national
convention at st. Louis next month,
there will be something doing every
minute. There will be a sharp DIFF
ference Of opinion, debates that will
become historic, and after due de-
liberation we trust that the action
taken will help to promote the in
terests Of the people of this great
country.
Now which Of these conditions is
most likely to be the forerunner of
party success?
When the ban ometer is low, the
normal atmospheric pressure is
greatly reduced and abnormal
conditions may be expected. The
equilibrium caused by the pressure
of opposing forces is disarranged by
a low barometer, and tornadoes,
electric storms, cloudbursts and
floods may reasonably be expected.
The laws which govern the physical
world are more closely related than

country during the last two republi-
can administrations. Here is what
he said: On the first Of March, 1897,
when the first administration Of
Mckinley began, we had in the
country, including bullion in the
Treasury, $l,So6,272,076. This was
$23.14 per capita for our population
and of this 3S.S93 per cent. was
gold. On the LIST Of May last the
money in the country was $2,S14,-
S5,446, which was $3l.O2 per
capita and Of it 4S.02S per cent was
gold" Mr.. Root tells in these few
sentences the victory won by the
democrats in 1896. In that cam
paign the democrats demonstrated
the truth Of the cumulative money
theory. While they did not cleo,
their presidential candidate, they
succeeded in converting their polit.
ical adversaries and in that way
secured desired results.
In 1896, when the country's
money supply including uncoined
bullion in the treasury, amounted tc
only 1923 per capita, the republican
speakers and newspaper organs
were vehemently asserting thai
there was money enough in the coun.
try and that confidence was all that
was required to bring about bette,
times.
The republican campaign Of 1896
was confidence game, backed III
by colossal campaign fund, and i
won the election but it could no
improve business conditions. Bust
ness conditions .did not improv
until the republican administrator
adopted the policy contended 70
by the democrats, and increased tn
circulating medium of the countr,
fully fifty per cent.
