The Democratic Change of Base.
1 n our article two weeks ago we
wrested the language of the Inde
pendent from its intended mean
ing. Our satirical construction
upon the Independent's phrase was
abundantly justified by the record
of the Independent and of the
Pennsylvania Democracy. There
has been no change of principle
because there has been no real
principle to change. The flop of
the Pennsylvania Democracy in
189(5 upon the money question is
uuparalled in the annals of state
or national politics. The Inde
pendent and its editor fully partici
pated in this flop.
We may remark in passing that
this criticism upon the political at
titude and record of the editor of
the Independent is very far from
being the same thing as an attack
upon his personal and private char
acter. We trust that the Inde
pendent will bear this distinction
in mind.
Waiving our satirical construct
ion, and considering in all due
seriousness the assurance that the
Democratic change of base involves
no change of principle, let us ask
what this assurance means or is
worth.
What does it mean from the
standpoint of Mr. Cleveland and
Judge Parker? Does Mr. Cleve
land declare that the Democratic
change of base involves 110 change
of principle? We should like to
know the comments of the Inde
pendent upon Mr. Cleveland's
article in "Collier's Weekly." Mr.
Cleveland regards the acceptance
of Judge Parker's telegram as a
revolution, as a radical renuncia
tion of wrong mouetary principles.
In Mr. Cleveland's eyes .Judge
Parker is a Moses who has safely
led the Democratic hosts out of the
Egypt of monetary heresy and
through the lied Sea of Bryanism,
and Mr. Cleveland himself is now
playing the part of Aaron in sound
ing "the timbrel o'er Egypt's dark
sea." We should not care to be in
any one's place who would venture
to declare in Mr. Cleveland's pres
ence that the Democratic change
of base involves 110 change of prin
ciple.
What does this assertion mean
from the point of view of Mr.
Bryan? We certainly concede
that Mr. Bryan would much more
readily endorse the assertion than
would .Judge Parker or Mr. Cleve
land. Hois still the unyielding
champion of the free silver cause
and did all that he could at St. Louis
to prevent the party from declar
ing for the gold standard. He
withstood to the last the proposi
tion to accept Judge Parker's tele
gram, averring at the time that
this telegram would tie the party
up to the gold standard more hope
lessly than the rejected gold plank
would have done. According to
his utterances at St. Louis and liis
manifesto issued a few days later,
Mr. Bryan was far from regarding
the Democratic change of base as
involving no change of principle.
Katlier he was disposed to regard
it as involving a most lamentable
change of principle. Now, how
ever, he is disposed to miminize
the matter as much as possible in
order to strengthen in himself the
hope that the Democratic party
may one day return to his leader
ship. lie is now treating the act
ion of the convention in accepting
Judge Parker's telegram as a mere
episode, unfortunate, indeed, but
still as a mere episode. It is to
his interest to foster the impres
sion that the change of base on the
money question is not to be takeu
very seriously, and that therefore
the change of principle is not very
serious or radical. We were not
aware last week that we were con
veying to any one the impression
that Mr. Bryan has refused to sup
port Messrs. Parker and Davis, but
we did say and do say that he is
not shouting for the gold standard.
He deplores the acceptance of
Judge Parker's position, but seeks
to miminize its significance. He
finds reasons for supporting the
ticket, notwithstanding Judge Park
er's telegram.
Mr. Cleveland magnifies the
significance of Judge Parker's tele
gram and supports the ticket be
cause of the partys radical return
from heretical to sound money
principles. Mr. Bryan belittles
the significance of the Parker tele
gram, and finds reasons for sup
porting the ticket notwithstanding it.
It is left for the East Emporium
Independent to rejoice with Mr.
Cleveland over the acceptance of
Judge Parker's gold standard tele
gram, and to agree with Mr.
Bryan's latest tendencey to assert
that the party has not seriously
changed its principles.
This chaotic attitude of the In
dependent upon the money ques
tion is really characteristic of the
Democratic party taken as a whole.
And to such a party the country
will not entrust the custody and
maintenance of the gold standard.
BRYAN'S VIEW OF
I'LA TFOItM.
"J shall not mis.represent the
situation, or appeal for votes for
the ticket upon false {/rounds. A
democratic victory will mean very
, little if any, progress on economic
questions so lony as the party is
under the control ojf the Wall
Street element. * * * The labor
plank as prepared hi/ Judge
Parker's friends on the subcom
mittee was a straddling, meaning
less plank, * * * The notnina
iion of .Judge Parker virtually
nullifies the anti trust plank,"—
William Jennings Bryan, in"The
Commoner," July 13, 1904.
Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement < liat a pre
ventative of suicide had been discovered
will interest many. A run down system,
or despondency invariably precede suicide
and something has been found that will
prevent that condition which makes sui
cide likely. At the first thought of self
destruction take Electric Bitters. It
being a great tonic and nervjne will
strengthen the nerves and build up the
system. It's also a great Stomach, Liver
and Kidney regulator. Only 50c.

How a Doctor Was Cured.
'•For two years I was troubled with
lumbago, or pain across my kidneys, the
pain shooting down my thigh (especially
on taking cold the pain would be ter
rible), a continual grinding, aching pain.
One bottle of Thompson's Barosma,
Backache, Live and Kidney Cure gave
me immediate relief. lam now taking
Barosma with great benefit as it reduces
all inflamation ot the stomach, liver and
bladder, the great organs that regulate
the whole system and purity the blood."

Discovery Concerning Rheumatism.
It is now known positively that rheu
matism is caused by uric acid in the
blood. The only possible way to get this
poison away is to get this poison out of
the Mood is to treat the kidneys, as when
they are diseased or not acting properly,
the uric acid passes from the kidneys in
to the blood. Thompson's Barosma or
Kidney Cure acts quickly, taking up the
uric acid, curing the kidneys and restor
ing them to their normal functions.
Thompson's Barosma is pleasant to take.
