individually concerned, I would j
much prefer to have had a decla- j
ration in favor of the coinage of j
silver at a ratio of sixteen to one.
This government has maintained
its silver money at that ratio, and
I believe that it is great enough
and strong enough to continue
to do so. France coins silver at
a ratio of fifteen and one half U>
one. My pride as an American
will notallow me to admit that we
cannot do as well as France does,
at least not until our inability to
do so has been demonstrated by
actual experience. But because
there is a difference of opinion as ,
to the ratio of the coinage of sil- >
ver among Democrats is no reason
why any friend of silvet should 1
quit the Democratic parly and
join the Populist or paper party.
It would be'just as logical for a
Christian to quit his church and
join the infidels because differ- ;
ences exist as to how the ordi-
nance of baptism should be ad-
ministered.
It is my candid judgment that a <
party was never organized iu this j
country upon worse principles ■
than those of the Populist party.
Their success would involve us in
greater trouble than we have ever
suffered. It would set back the
ci use of liberty in America hun-
dreds of years, if indeed, it did
not entirely subvert our free in- 1
stitutions and utterly destroy our
Democratic form of government.
Take their crazy idea about the
government owner^w^A^^ail-
s
hobbies.
Such a thing is consistent with
the paternal institutions of mon-
archical Europe, where the few
govern the many, and are not re-
strained by written constitutions
emanating from the people.
Our Populist friends seem to
forget that we have a constitution
framed by our fathers, born of
that wisdom which comes from
adversiry, danger, suffering and
sorrow, and which today is the
charter of our rights and the bul-
wark and defense of our liberties.
They seem to think that our gov-
ernment is like a deserted ship at
sea, without rudder or compass,
to be driveu hither- and thither
upon the uncertain waters of ex-
pediency by every pass'ng wind
or wave. They never stop to dis-
cuss the constitutionality of. any
of tl*eir proposed measures. A
little thing like the constitution is
nothing to them. Herein lies the
fundamental difference between
1 Populism and Democracy.
[ When any measure is presented
the first question that Democracy
( asks is: “ Is it constitutional ? ”
Democracy plants its feet firmly
^ upon the tenth amendment to the
^ constitution, or, I should call it,
the tenth commandment from the
j people, which declares that all
powers not granted by the consti-
P tution tp the Federal governmeut
^ or prohibited by it to the states,
, are reserved to the states respect-
ively, or to the people. You ask

The Populists, with a few ex-

been abusing anti fighting Democ-

then the other, upon first one

the last fifteen years.
They are the last people upon

this is the same old prowd who

They were just as loud mouthed

THE BEST RIGS IN WESTERN
Jeffersonian Jlemocrats. Jeffer-
son declared that the mints of the J1
country should be open to both
gold and silver. .They declare in
the Omaha platform, by indorsing
the subtreasury plan, that the
mints shou’d be closed to both ai
gold and silver. Jefferson was in
favor of coining money. Jeffer- 8‘
son denied the power of the gov-
ernment to engage in internal Lm-
provements. They declare that
the government shonld-own and 8
operate all public internal im- r(
provements. The theory of Jef- 11
ferson was that the people should ^
support the government. Their c
theory is that the government u
should support the people. They
fight national banks and favor ^
national railroads. It is a misno- 0
mer to call them Populists. They 1
ought to be called the “ Party of 0
Whacked Up,” to put it more
i plainly, “the Party of Give Me c
What You Haye Got.” A
The only hope for silver lies in a
the Democratic party. It is true 1
r that there is a difference of opin- 1
’ ion among Democrats as to the
? coinage of silver with gold. But 1
i no Democrat has ever proposed
- to issue irredeemable paper mon- 1
- ey and substitute it for both gold
' and silver, as the Populist party
y stands pledged to do by its in-
