be, obtained. Free coinage is now the
spoken of at all. But in 1886 it was a
serious and pressing question.
| We claimed that with the gold standard
definitely settled we would continue to have
both gold and silver and that the currency
would not contract but increase. 1t is
| worth while to pause just long enough to
see how well this prophecy has been full

How to Judge n Party.
A tree should be judged by its fruits
and. measured by this standard, the repub-
lican party is worthy of continuance OF
pie. A party should be judged by its acts
| rather tnan It's platforms. Our party i:
ready to be judged by this test; For forty
years it has CHOSEN its position without
reference TO its enemies, and having Sc
lected its policy there was nothing left fol-
our opponents but to take the other side.
