LOCO FOCOISM.

We are pleased to see the view which is taken
all over the country of modern Democracy. The
Loco Focos succeeded for number of years in de-
ceiving the People with the cry OF Democracy, but
the cheat is at last exposed, and the cloak which
has so long hidden the vilainy and hideousness of
modern Democracy is torn of. The People now
see for themselves how much they have been de-
oeived and taught by sad and bitter adversely they
feel how much their confidence has been abused
by the hungry ofice,holding crew who have been
eating out their very substance.
When the "Royaltsts" came into power in the
| spring of 1929, they found the Country in high
state of prosperity, and under the blessings of the
Protective System and a sound National Currenc,
all branches oe American Industry were placed
upon firm and substantial basis. Under these
systems the National deb; created by our FOL
gu, rights and independence had disappeared an'
| in short time surplus was found in the Treasu
among the States during the administration o
Genl. Jackson. Had these systems been continued
the Country would have remained prosperous ant
| the People have continued to follow their vsriou
pursuits with safety and certainty. But no, tn
party which was carried into power by resorting t.
the most underhanded and foul means, and upo

pers and speakers, that you do not en-
brace in your system OF protection OF
American industry by discriminating
tariff, the agricultural interest, and this is
attempted to be sustained by remark in
one OF your speeches, that "the agricul-
turlst needs no protection"
1t is also insisted that you regard a
bankrupt law os one Of the Wing mea-
sures TO be carried out in the event OF
their success. To give the somblance of
truth TO this charge, they refer to some
remarks made by you and reported in
the in,eligencer, on the bill to repeal The
law passed in lS4l, in which you state
that the measures oil the extra session
were regarded at the time as system
connected with and dependent upon each
other. Although your positions on both
these subjects are well understood by all
candid men, yet as you have manifested
disposition to affirm and reaffirm your
OPINIONS on all and every subject, to the
full satisfaction Of friends and foes, | will
ask OF you an answer 10 the iollowlDg
questions:

revenue Tariff with view to protection
of American industry, would you include

ing and other interestsf
