70a ORR REAR MEME UN PON ESSER etn se eNO Pe ARRAN NNDNERNEERSY A DEMOCRAT ON DEMOCRATIC ISSUES. Ex-Congressman Waddill Writes Enter- tainingly on Political Matters. Editor Joplin Daily Globe: Yield- ing to your request that I would write an article for the Globe “along political lines,” 1 undertake to do so with the hope of interesting at least some of the Globe's readers write it so simple a thing to gently along years in adv election. W give promise of becomir se to be of public inter H have ¢ man he political lin presid ance of a at may gadominant issue may cea 1904 sha questions that thought of mas supreme issues in the campaign three est before ome: and no arise and become years hence. We too often so onfound policies wit! principles many there are who hallow with patriotic love and fervor questions of mere governmental pol- and tem- icy involving only present porary conditions, and treat such | Pi fare of the people and the en questions as though they embodied | durin ood and glory of free govern- great and abiding principles. Such {ment It will stand. as it has al was true,in my opinion, of the mone, Bimetallisn question itself is nor never was a question of princi but now and always only a question of financial policy. It is true the policy of bimetallism had obtain- ed in the United States from almost the beginning of tion, and had therefore the reverence | thatjalways attaches to age and ex- | perience; but the less it is true that it was and is only a matter of| administrative polic pose of the democratic for the equal and similar treatment of gold and silver in our money coin- age was not the enunciation of a principle, but the declaration of a | policy intended to secure a full, gen- our career as a na- | none contention erous sufficiency of good money with which to do the business of the coun- try and meet the just demands and convenience of the people. Given these and what thinking person cared whether our money was gold and sil- ver, or either one or the other? And who cares to-day if all our money be gold, if only there shall be enough of it to the r wants and convenience of the people? The democratic party was founded meet asonable and just on great fundamental principles springing out of our system of free government: and for all time and to meet all emergencies and conditions. And it follows and is true that what might be rightfully sound policy by the democratic party inonecampaign may not be theright policy to advocate two or four years later. Take the silver question itself for an example. The condition of the country and the needs of the pec ple made it pre-eminently wise and right for the democratic party to} adopt the Chi » platform of 1896, and to declare itself as it did for the | free and unlimited coin: both gold and silver.

The democratic par- ty holds as one of its articles of faith of the derive fathers their reat declaration all the ¢ that vernments governed. And by this declaration democrats will stand, and for it they will contend anywhere, everywhere and always But Lam making long, and will many topics that may be pertinent and this article too therefore pass over and of political interest, close with a brief reference to the question of “reorganization.”” There has been quite an amount of talk about reor- the November for what? ganization since last elections. Reorganized Wherein is our present organization deficient? The democratic organiza- tion is now complete and strong and val hands the committee down to the smallest pre- einet committee, and all talk of reor- from national ganization seems to me useless. 1 do not wish to be harsh or unkind, but this talk nization has | of reo its origin with some of those demo- crats who in 1896 and 1900 bolted the party nominations and platforms and deserted and joined the ranks of the on the day enemy and fired into their friends of battle », would show better taste, These men, it | seems Co me andcertainly more sagacity, by keep- | and, for the present at leaving party ands of those least, management In who 1 ve always been faithful to the party, its plat-| and whose of the forms and nominees, ments do not smell enemy's | the party was following the tradi-} tions and experience of all our past At that time (1896) no party had declared in its platform for| monometallism. Thecountry needed ever jin bitterness; L only spea ire smirched with treach camp nor i ery or desertion. I do not say this < the words | | of truth and soberness. These form- jer democrats certainly realize that | | more money. The republican party itself in 1896 did not dare to advo-| eate the single gold standard, but begged the question and dodged the issue by declaring in its platform for | conditional bimetallism to be effected | by international agreement. To-day we are facing different con- | ditions. The dishonoring ofsilveras a money metal by the United States and the governments of Europe so | depreciated its value that the miners | and producers of the precious metals | largely ceased the mining of silver} and concentrated their efforts upon | the production of gold. resulted in a tremendous and phenom- | venal output of gold in all the gold | producing regions of the earth. And} new discoveries of gold were made, | notably in Alaska, which further in- | creased the supply. Supplementing | these conditions with the South Afri- | ean war and crop failures in Europe, making an unprecedental demand for American products and turning the balance of trade so largely eredit, and find with abundance of gold to meet all the demands and discharge all the functions of or standard money. This supply to our we ourselves now primary of gold is so large as to meet the very demand and need intended to be by the Chicago platform in its declaration for free silver.
