SATURDAY MORNING. ArRIL ~. ls.a.

b This thing called Democracy OF the most va
rying and unxed things all nature. Like Sir John Fa
staff by Dame Quickly one knows where have it
with each revolution OF the Heavens, with every vcsude
OF the seasons, 1t assumes n and different disguise
one wme and in one quarter of the country, IL is totally
different from what IL another period and different,
pHce-so much indeed, that its intimate aequant
anees are puzzled 20 recognize its personal identity At
the North for instance the very Quncssence Democracy
Is equal rights and equal prNicgcs,-unyersal equality
ana consequently uncomprcmlsng hostility any man,
who by industry, has richer than the mass and to
the whole institution Of domestic sevitudc exists in the
SOUTH In the South however pure Democracy and Slave
~ are held 10 be one and the thing. In 1916 Nation
al Bank was Democratic measurc-it was chartered by
the Democrats led on by James Madison John C. Calhoun,
henry Clay, VIM. ii. Crawford &C. and yehemenlv
opposed by the Old Fedcrass headed by Daniel Webster
n Co. Now 1t has become the very pcrsonihcation OF
observation-disclosures many At the North, the West, and
eren an the City Of Richmond, who call themselves
Democrats, Bank men, and openly confess that ma
uona Bank is absolutely necessary the OF the
national prosperity In 1884 the sub Treasury when pro
posed by Ten Gordon, denounced the vilcst off
spring OF Federalism the country had ever seem In 1897
the Richmond Enquirer repeated the dcnunciaons against
tins Inflated Notwithstanding every thing mon
srous and deestbe-Os increasing the patronage OF the
Executive. already too great for Republic, and making
two curences the better for the office holders and the wsrc
for the people. But presto change; This reved monster
has become the very of Democracy Ii is not denied
that it will augment the Executive power and make two
currencies;-bu mammoth Executive and specie for the
oiee-hoders, and rags for the people constitute modern
Democracy. Again, regard TO the Tariff: MosSrs Van
Buren, and Dick Johnson and Sas Wright and Buchanan
shining lights IN the Democratic ranks-consider Tariff
part and parcel of the Democratic creed On the other
hand Calhoun. and Richie & Co. abhor Tarn as Satan
docs righteousness And yet they all the pur,st OF
Democrats
That we do not msrepresent, we have only TO remind
the reader, that Wright and Buchanan both voted for the
Tariff Bill Of the las, Session and Col Dick Johnson in
accepting nomination the candidate OF the Democracy
for the Presidency, made by the Democrats of Indiana
writes, under date OF February 6, 1919 a. follows
Taxes collected indirectly 10y commerce are least felt
and most cheeuu paid and It they can be 50 regulated
as To evolve great national and up skfu
artheos and manufacturers, the patriots hope would be
consumma,ed. IL he Democratic doctrine, as far
agriculture and manufactures and thus give universal
satisfaction 10 all liberal minded men, by extending genera!
advantage, equally regarding every interest and every sec
ton OF thls great extended confedcracy"
"h is The true Democratic doctrine 10 gire incidental
protection ."
Richie and Calhoun that incidental protection
is Federalism!
This but sample Of the identity OF principle existing
in this great Democracy! The truth is as Mr. Calhoun
observed they have principle save that which is
supplied by the cohesive power Of public plumber They
are mcnarchiss tories Federass or Jacobins or
Agrarians circumstances.
