Hearst, Editor of the Jour- nal: ago, as I wasinthe act of leaving my New York hotel for Providence, t. 1, an editorial representative cf the Journal called to see me and asked me to s:y, for publication in the Journal, what I thought the leading issues of the next presiden tial campaign would be. As it was then impossible for me to comply | with his request, he asked me to) write the Journal on the subject et | my earliest convenience Although | appreciating the complimect of such | a request, I was, for several reasone, | reluctant to comply with it, and would not have consented to do so if the request had not come from your representative. But remem- bering with gratitude the splendid and uneelfish service the Journal rendered, at great sacrifice, to the demooracy in the memorable cam paign of 1896, I felt that I ought to accede to any reasonable request the Jonrnal might make of me, for, although no good might come ef my doing so, it would not at least result in any harm. In my opinion, the next demo- cratic national convention will again declare for the free coinage of silver | and it will be done by a practically unanimous vote. The party, as a whole, is intensely in earrest in its advocacy of bimetallic coinage. It will not recede from this positicn: it will not go backward. I believe the next democratic con vention will also press our maritime interests to the front, and make the rehabilitation of our merchant navy a leading issue of the campaign. I say “issue” because any serious effort to rebuild our merchant navy on a large scale will necessitate a bold assault on those republican policies which have destroyed our maritime interests for the benetit of a special monopoly, and because the existerce of a great merchant navy would of itself put forces iato operation which would soon demolish that whole fabric of “protection” so art fully contrived by our republican opponents. If we expand our maritime inter- ests, we must seek trade; if we trade; if we covet dominion of the seas, we muet control the markets of the world. But this we cannot do if we exclude others from our own markets. If we put “Private and Exclusive” over the gateways to our ports, we cannot expect a free wel come into the ports of other coun tries. The two things are inconsistent and impossible. But we should fill the seas with our ships. What we need above all things are markets. The productive capacity of our coun try,already great beyond comparison can be quadrupled; and the inventive genius and business skill and enter-! prise of our people are confessedly superior to all others. If we under- take in dead earnest to do the carry- | ing trade of the whole world and to control the world’s commerce, we will soon outstrip all competition. Think what we might do if we should do our best. Let me illustrate: Of our enor- mous cotton product we manufac |} ture only a small per cent. (I not! venture iato statistics offhand.) By | fer the greater part is shipped | abroad, fabricated in foreign mills, | and made the basis of a vast com-/ meree for foreign eountries All| this cotton is manufactured is transported id the ire sold somewhere in where, it in { manufactures the body's ship markets | of the world. Why should not we manufacture our own cotton, carry the goods in our own ships, and sell or exchange them ourselves to those who have ? If this should be done it would greatly hance our manu- need of th facturing intereste, give employment lieve we ean—in the Orient; aye, and in Europe, too, for with our superior machinery and workmen, we cap pay higher wages, and yet compete with Europe for trade in her own markets. But if we want the world’s markets, we must go to them. If we desire to dominate the world’s com- work To be so equipped we must have the greatest merchant navy afloat | Dear Sir:—Three or four days meree we must be equipped for : All this is good old trine. It was a favorite policy of our fathers in ante bellum days. I And, there democratic believe it will be again fore, I believe the next convention will push the revival of our interests to the front and make it a leading issue; and, incidentally, will insist on the speedy construc tion of the Nicaragua Canal, and the neeessary enlargement of our navy To my mind there is co much of prosperity aud glory to our country to be gained by this policy, that I believe it will command the sup port of the people of all classes and sections when it is fully pre sented aud understood. Apropos to thie I believe it should be the policy of the democratic par- ty to have our government seek the closest alliance with Mexice and Central and South America, and I may add, with Canada also. We ought to form with them, or as many of them as possible, a bi metallic union, and make bimetallism an American policy in opposition to the European policy of monometal- lism. If we take the lead and offer tho proper inducements and encour agement, this can be done. We can so unite the Americans as to rule the world, not by force of arme, but by arts of peace I believe I have will probably be the of the next campaign There wi!), of course, be other issues of more or less importance, but I have said so much already that I must not at- tempt to further particularize. Those I have named will be, in my opiuion, the iesues in which the people will take the greatest interest. Expan- sion of the currency by the free coinage of silver, and the expansion of commerce by rebuilding the merchant murine should be our bat- lecry. Respectfully, Wim J. Srone. indieated what leading issues HON. THOMAS F. BAYARD DEAD. He Passed Quietly Away At Karlstein, the Summer Residence of His Daughter. Dedham, Mass., Sept. 28 —Thoe. F. Bayard died at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at Karlstein, the summer residence of his daughter, Mre. Samuel D. Warren, after an illness of six weeks. His death was without pain. His wife, his two daughters, Mrs. Warren and Miss Florence Bayard, and his sov, Thomas F,, Jr, saw him draw his last breatb, and his third daughter, the Countess Lauenbaupt, was on her way to Dedham The remains will be conveyed to Delaware and the formal services will be held Saturday in the old Swedish Church at Wilmington. Thomas Francis Bayard was a dis- tinguished member of aa eminent family. Since long before the Revo lutionary War times the Bayards have been conspicuous in the coun- try’s bistory as patriots and stater- men, and many acquired national fame as jursts. Four members of the Bayard family have had senatorial honors bestowed upon them by the little state of Delaware—Thomas Francis Bayard, his father; James Ashton Bayard, his grandfather of the same -| name, the negotiator of the treaty of Ghent, and his uncle, his uncle, Richard Henry Bayard His grandmother's father, Gover- nor Bassett Delaware, was al the recipient of senatorial honors Tho in Wi of re) s Francis Bayard was born n, Del., October 29, 1 and was a younger son In his thirteenth year he entered school at Flushing, Long Island.
