Over and over again tho democratic party in national convention assem bled hus put itself on record in the clearest ami most comprehensive langunge possible in favor of bi metalliMU, the restoration of silver to its place in our financial system as standard money, and never for a moment in the congress of the United State him a majority or anything like a majority of llie rep resentatives of that party wavered in its devotion to tho principles so clearly enunciated in the parly platforms. To assume now that adherence to that principle is aban donment of an established doctrine of the party is to defy history and ignore the most plainly written of all its declarations of policy. It is useless to claim that a tender of the irood illieeB of the party to secure an international agreement for the free coinage of silver is tho fulfill ment of its pledge so often made in this respect. To sincere believers in bimetallism for tho United States, an effort of this character is little, if anything, less than an un qualified violation of sacred pledges by a great political organization."
