. WHAT DEMOCRACY MAY DC
By its bold defiance of public oplr
the Republican party is rapidly pa\
the way for Democratic success in
next Presidential election. It Is gei
ally conceded by the shrewdest obs <
ers of political events that if a succ
or to McKinley had to be chosen r
the Democratic candidate , no ma
what financial plank he stood on , wo
win.
There may be a change of opinior
favor of the Republicans within
next fifteen mouths , of course , bin
tliere is not , the man who will get
nomination of the next regular Dei
era tic national convention will be el <
ed to the Presidency. The drift of p
ular feelings is all that way. The i
pie are alarmed at the rapid growth
the trusts , they are disgusted with
gerism , with imperialism and with
various other isms that Republican ]
has fostered.
With this advantage , however ,
their side , Democrats ought to be c.i
ful about both their candidates r
their platform , and it is not too ea
to call attention to the necessity of h
niouious action. Factional differen
certainly should disappear , and W
lain J. Bryan's remarks at Buff
ought to be seriously studied all O'
the country. He struck the right n <
when he said that he regarded it
urgent that "every Democrat of N
York should rally to the party and g :
assurance of his support to the next i
tioual platform , whether it will be tl
of IS9G , pure and simple , or whethei
will be that of 1SOG , modified or add
to. "
The Republican party to-day stau
as Mr. Bryan further explained in U
same speech , for all the monopolis
tendencies of the times , concentrat
wealth and un-American expansion ,
all of which Democracy is oppost
Tliere should , consequently , be no di
culty whatever for the party which 1
lieves in government by the masses a
not by the selfish classes to present
united , unbroken front at the nc
Presidential election and achieve a (
cided victory.
As matters are to-day , only pet
rivalries and squabbles can prevent t
election of a Democratic President

mony be notified now that they are n
wanted aud let them be cast out. V

Conclusive Comparison.
The American revolutionists had n
a tenth-part the moral justification f

Claimed their allegiance after uln

sponsibility of the present attitude c
the Filipinos cannot be shaken froi
the shoulders of William McKiule :
Not only has he negotiated a treat
which transfers their country for 920
000,000 to the United States , in spit
of their most emphatic and loug-cor
tinned protest , but he has publicly prc
claimed to them his purpose of "assim
lation. " If he now persists in imltal

refusing to adopt a more moderate pol
icy , aud thus drive the Filipinos to i
struggle against foreign conquerors , hi.

Ideal Kind of Trust.
If the trusts and combines could b <
organized with a normal capitaliza
tioii , if honest and capable manage
ment of them could be assured , and 11
their shares could be scattered among
the thousands of laboring men anci
others interested in their business , sc
that their profits could t e diffused , the
country would have a better industrial
system , even from the idealist's point
of view , than could ever exist undei
direct government control of indus
tries , or by any socialist scheme that
could be devised , for then the incentive
to thrift and industry would not be
lost , while all men would have equal
chances in the struggle for life in pro
portion to their abilities. But the ob
stacles to this consummation seem in
superable. Kansas City Star.
Republican Iniquity.
The triumph of Quay and his ap
pointment by Gov. Stone to the long
fought for SenatorshSp is but another
instance of Republican deification of all
that is iniquitous in public life. Their
theory seems to be that everything
done outside of prison walls "goes , "
eo long as it is successful , regardless of
its merits or moral aspect. Character
seems to count for naught in the Re
publican ranks where all men are wel
come who can "get there" by hook or
by crook.
Quay is a man of pleasing person-
ality and considerable magnetism ,
is loyal to those friends who assist 1
In political crookedness and a bli
enemy to those who oppose him.
long as he is allowed to have possess
of the plum tree , he is willing to sh ;
it liberally for his friends , who are
lowed to pick up enough plums to st

Quay is the most audacious politic
in America , and appears to have b
born without moral bias. He stai
boldly up for all that is Iniquitous

leave for the moment the Indian aspect
of the scheme proposed by the Indian :
Government , and the "money muider"
involved In it , and the strange indiffer
ence shown by Government to tin * in
terests of the multitude of holders of
silver in India , and to the agonii'S of
the money markets there. I desire to
call attention to the importance of the
scheme to all English investors. The
proposal involves handing over the con
trol of about two-thirds of our golil re
serve at the bank to a body of officials
in Calcutta , and to this I object most
strongly. At first they ask for ii.VrOO-
000 , but they ask for power to draw'
15.000,000 more when required to say
nothing of even further demands. The
export of 5,000,000 at this mo.-uent
might have very serious consequences.
It seems to be forgotten that the pur
chase of the wheat which we require
this year may cost us from ! iOOOooOO
to 30,000,000 more than the same im
port would have cost us two years ago.
Thus , whether we will or not , we are
face to face with an enormous addi
tional claim on our resources , and one
which will give increased power over
our gold to our cousins across the At
lantic , whose needs may be greatly en
hanced by the war on Avhich they have
entered. Moreover , the tendency to
higher prices is not confined to corn ,
imd business at home makes greater
demands on our resources. On i very
side there are political complications
md uncertainties , and our relations
ivith nations all over the world are so
utimate that special demands may
irise at almost any moment. As I write
