TRUE DEMOCRACY.
Wo further hold that the para
mount issue now before t.ie people
of the United States relates tu the
monetary Bystem to be adopted by
Una country, and upon tht issue
we declure that 'the Federal Con
stitution names silver and gold
together, as the money metals of
sttf the. United States.5 The first
coinage law passed by Coiiyress
under the constitution made the
silver dollar the unit of value and
admitted gold to free coinage at a
n-.tiif measured by the silver, dollar
unit. . -
From - the beginning of the
government, following a policy
formulated by Thomas Jefferson
and firmly established by Jackson,
the democratic party haB been the
party of bimetallism, favoriug the
free coinage of both Bilver and gold
Rt the national mints, and opposed
to farming out to banking corpora
tions the government's sovereign
power of issuing and controlling
the money of the people. The act
of 1873, demonetizing silver, was
surreptitiously paBsed, without the
approval or knowledge of the
American people, and from the
time when the effects of this act in
fastening upon th'iB country the
single gold standard were under
stood, the democratic party has
consistently and persistently urged
that the wrong be righted.
The demonetization of silver
resulted in the steady appreciation
of gold and a corresponding fall in
the price of commodities produced
by tie people, a heavy increase in
the burden of all debts, public and
private, . the enrichment of the
money-lending class, paralysis of
industry and impoverishment of
the people and unexampled distress
in all gold Btandard countries.
Experience has shown that wiiile
under the single gold standard
there may be an occasional revival
of business activity, accompanied
by enhanced, d vances af A limited
number of commodities, such
re vivid is due to artificial and
temporary causes, and cannot'
permanently alleviate, the suffer
ings due to the falling of prices
brought about by .the appreciation
of the gold and an inadequate
supply of primary, or-redemption
money. 1 Duty io the people re
quires that the psrty of the people,
continue the battle for bimetallism
until its efforts are crowned with
success. Therefore be it
Resolved,' That the delegates
elected by this convention to repre
sent the democracy of Missouri in
the National Democratic Conven
tion, to be held in Chicago, are
hereby instructed to cast their
votes and use their influence in
that .convention in favor of the
adoption of the sentiment herein
above expressed, and such delegate
are hereby further instructed to
vote as a unit on all questions
coming before such .National Con
vention; also to cast their votes
And use their influence to secure
the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President who
re personally in accord with the
monetary - system .hereinbefore
advocated. ; , " '
'o delegate or alternate elected
by this convention shall have the
piffwe'r' or' authority to name any
other person as his pr(oxy to act or
to. vote in his stead at .such Nation
al Convention, but such delegates
as shall ' attend said convention
and the alternates of such delegates
as . shall attend, shall 'have the
power, and they are hereby author
ized to cast the full vote of this
state in suoh convention.
The above we print at the sug
gestion of Hon. M. A. Miller, who
is much elated over the action of
dthe Missouri democrats'. v,:
They met in secret session "and
nominated Judge J. N. Duncan to
fill the vacancy occasioned by Dr.
Cole's ithdrtiwal. Judge Black
burn, who was not a candidate, had
been urged, before the convention,
to accept the nomination, his great
ability as a lawyer boing well
known.. Mr. Percy Kelly was the
recipient of a - flattering vote in
convention and in the committee.
He is ayoung lawyer of abilit-y.and
hag many friends who would like
to see him elected. Jiuisc Duncnn
js a good lawyer Jin obljgmg offi
cial, and a pleasant goiitliman,
whose greatest fault is his inability
to say "no." when the best interests
of the county really demand a firm
negative from the county judge,
He has made his record . and will
have to stand by it. If the people
approve of the expenditures of the
last four years, they will re-elect
him. If they disapprove of them,
they will elect some one else.
Italian pauper laborers are
flocking to this country again by
tens of thousands. Batter, immi
gration laws are needed, but con
gresB pays no attention to this im
portant, matter. Many of these
paupers are sent back, but too
many are landed. There should
be some 1 international regulation
by which they would be prevented
from Btarting. Or, if that is
impossible, the steamship compan
ies that bring them over should be
compelled to carry them hack ut
their own expense. This country
wants no more foreigners except
such as are intelligent and self-
sustaining. Welcome.

We heard a responsible republi
can gentleman say the other day
that the last republican county
convention, of this county, was the
first convention he ever heard of
that met and nominated a ticket
and did not put out a platform.
And that the North Lebanon pri
mary was the first primary he ever
attended, in his life thai did not
elect nor have a chairman nor
secretary. But he added, that
everything was "fixed" and all the
voters bad to do was to say "aye"
and go home.
Hon. M. A. Miller, ' who is a
delegate to the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago, and by the
way, -who is a strong advocate of
bimetalism, seems1 quite confident
that the silver men will control
the convention. He, however; is
not alone in this belief. The New
York World, of April 15, says
trihfef' uieii will be in complete
control, Senator Harris, uf Ten
nessee, claims silver men will have
180 majority and will adopt the
the platform and name the candi
date '-who will be ouceptable to all
silver men..

An exchange most appropriately
and truthfully says: "From this

business of every man who is con

seeks the welfare of American

The republican platform is a
cowardly "straddle" of the money
question, the most important one
before the country. A party that
hasn't got the courage to say one
thing or tire other, so that its
meaning cannot be misunderstood,
is not entitled to the respect of
voters. The Welcome cannot
endorse the democratic platform on
this question, but it concedes that
thedemocratic money plank,though
wrong, is eutitled to more respect
than the vain and pitiful attempt
of (be republicans to mean two
opposite things in one declaration.
