It they ask us why w'e doTiot

in, which 'w.eAbelieve, we reply, to'
them that when we have restored the

necessary reforms will be possible,
and until that is done there, is no re-form
that can be accomplished.

Not only that, but as he listens, he

to every one who will look at the,

however great, that can protect from
the avenging wrath. of an indignant

Why? Because" upon the paramount
issue in this campaign there is not a
spot of ground upon which the enemy
will dare to challenge battle. Why,
if they tell us that the gold standard
is a good thing, ve point to their
platform and tell them that their
platform pledges the party to get rid
of a gold .standard .and substitute bimetallism.
Applause. If the gold
standard is a good thing, why try to
get rid of, Hi Laughter and continued
applause If the gold standard
and! might call your attention to
the fact that some of the very people
who are in this convention,to-aay ana
who tell you that; we, ought to declare
in favor of international bimetallism,
and thereby declare that the gold
standard is wrong and that the principle
of bimetallism is better, these
very people, four months ago, were
open and avowed advocates of the
gold standard, and telling us that we
could not legislate two metals together
even with all the world. Renewed
applause and cheers. I want
to suggest "tins truth, that if the gold
staudard ia a good thing we' ought to
declare in favor of its retention and
not in favor of abandoning at,, and
if the ! "'

line of "battle. 'Wo care not upon
which i'sstie'they force ttie fight. We
are prepared, to, meet them upon
either issue or on both. If they tell
us that the gold standard is the
standard of civilization, we' reply to
them that this.tbe most enlightened of
all thenatidns"of th'e earth;-has "never'
declared for a gold standard.and both
the parties this year are declaring
against it. Applause. " If , the -gold
standard the standard of civilization,
why, my friends, should we not
havelt? So if they come, tomeet us
on that.we can present the history of
tho nation. 'More than that, we can
tell thein.thia, that they will search
the pages of. history in vain to find a

people of any land have ever declared
themselves in favor of a gold standard.-

'the idle holders of idle capital I'atad

the wealth andpav'tbe taxes of the
country, and, my friends, it is simply
a question that we shall decide, upon
which aide shall the Democratic
party fight, upon the side of the idle
holders of idle capital or upon the
side of the struggling masses? That is
the question that the party
MUST ANSWEB FIRST,
And then it must be answered by
each individual hereafter. The sympathies
of the Democratic party, as
described by the platform are on the
side of the struggling masses, who
have ever been the foundation of the
Democratic party. Applause. There
are those who believe that if you
just legislate to make the well-to-do
prosperous, that their prosperity will
leak through on those below. The
Democratic idea has been that it you
legislate to make the masses prosper
ous their prosperity will find its way
up and through every class ana rest
upon it. Applause. You cometo

in favor of the gold standard. ;' I

Why
Does tho Prince of Wales
Win
English Races?
While there is no doubt that the
prince of Wales' victory of the Derby
has been very popular and that his
maintenance of a racing stable has
contributed to increase tho affection
with which he is regarded by his
countrymen, who aro essentially a
sport-loving nation, yet it is to be
feared that his participation in contests
of the turf impairs that prestige
which constitutes tho principal
foundation of royal thrones' in these
modern times. For, from the very
moment that an heir apparent enters
into a competition of this kind
he necessarily abandons for the nonce
his pretensions to superiority of
rank and places himself' on the same
level with those who are his rivals.
Intellectual progress and enlightenment,
which are now the order of
the' day, naturally tend to promote
the sentiment of equality, to develop
the conviction that all men aro made
of the same clay, and to strengthen,
the flood-tide of democracy. It
therefore behooves those who are interested
in the maintenance of the
monarchical system to avoid everything
that can weaken in any way
the claim of royal and imperial per-,
sonages to superiority, and that can
bring those illustrious beings down
from their lofty pinnacle to the level
"of ordinary people."
What is there better calculated to
effect ttiis'than for the heir apparent
to the throne of the mightiest em:
pire in 'the' world to descend, figuratively
speaking, into the arena for
the purpose of matching tils horses
against those of people 1who are
bound .in the ordinary course of
events to become his subjects at an
early date?
It is not a particularly edifying or
impressive spectacle to seBthe'pr.iccfi
of Wales colors come in at thetaij'
end of a race amid a storm of jeer?
and imprecations en the
tnoso wno ior motives oi loyally
rather than of equine science have
backed tho royal horse. But, on
the other hand, when the latter wins
tho condition of affairs is almost
equally unsatisfactory, sine there
must always be a suspicion that the
victory of the princo's horse is duo
rather to tho anxiety to earn the
good will of the future monarch of
the empire than to any question of
Imorit on the part of the horse.
Thus, last year, when the prince
won the Goodwood cup with Florizei,
by no means a first-rate horse, the
universal comment was that all the
dangerous competitors had been
scratched and that those who took
their places at the starting line had
not been pushed to the utmost, so
that the prince for once, in a way,
might have the satisfaction of winning
one of the big races of tho year.
Again, with this year's Derby,
there are many people who will be
inclined to believe that Leopold
'Rothschild did not strain every norve
to have his own magnificent horse,
,81. Frusquin, win, preferring to al-low
the prinee's Persimmon to come
!ln first.
, There may or may not be f
for this impression. But most
persons will be disposed to give
credence to it, as the Rothschilds
realize better than anyone else the
fact that their present agreeable
Status in the English great world
and their excellent social currency
aro entirely duo to tho efforts of tho
prince of Wales in their behalf. It
is therefore hardly likely that so
astute a financier and so clever a
diplomat as Leopold Rothschild, who
owes his membership of the ultra
exclusive Jockey club to the prince's
backing, would missso1 good ' a
chance of permitting his royal patron
to reach the climax of his ambition
as it is that of almost every other
Briton the capture of the blue ribbon
of the turf by the winning of the
Derby.
It is easy to picture thedelight of
.the prince at his victory on the Epsom
Downs. Fpr'his stable, JA'spito
of its having been under the direction
of so capable an expert in. horsed
as Lord Marcus Beresford, has been
persistently unlucky throughout, the
Goodwood cup last year and the
Derby this year being the only races
of importance that it has ever.won.
Perhaps the winning ox inoxerpy
marks the inauguration of a now and
bjishterracinflrjera for the prince,-
