battle Of 1910 is be fought over, becomes US &c
review the ground we then occupied and compare II
with that OF our opponents. And, now, that the ex

second thought, we may be able to discern our long
cherished principles and rally under the banner of hun
who, from his life we'll as his professions, stands
pledged TO the country 10 maintain them
We saw, in 1910, the candidate of the self-styled
Universal Wing Party placed before the people, with
on, declaration OF principles upon which his admins
traon be conducted. To the different persua-
sions Of his party h presented the real Simon
Pure, holding their political principles eSptciaHy We
the masses put in motion by lie magic influence
of revelres, while clubs connecting TIE means o'
deception THIS widespread excitement was hindled
into flame by travelling orators and We saw, as the re-
suit of 4 this manGuvrng, (hodiag IN utter contempt
the intelligence Of peope,) their candidate Tossed
upon the country Let the ruIn which succeeded to
promses and professions admonish US IN fnture how
we Eve cr-dsnce to professions only, and let It teach
us To be cautious how trust our interests to the
hands OF such as "make revelations for the public
eye. Agun thus party IS putting itself in motion
again clubs forming for the purpose OF securing
the etfrts of its lege subjects 10 bring that party
again into power, whose latttudinous construction oil
the Federal Constitution has been sufficiently deve-
Hoped during the past Congress They advocated
the creation If d Bank Of the United States, with
CAPITAL sufcrent TO control the State insttutons-i
creature so constituted ever to b. gathering pew
er-whose influence, in time, must become Irres'st

whom does II protect 1t protects the manufacturer
In what, and now Against foreign cnmpe,tton-i III
driving its products from our markets by an onerou;
duty thus limiting facilities for trade with the
tons of the EARTH by means of which alone we can

indeed 10 how we, producers, are affected By
shrs imposition of duty to build another and almost
distinct interest Thus Federal Tariff has yet more
hideous aspect 1t breaks up the commercial
lions under which have experienced the high degree
of prosperity, which has distinguished among the
nations OF the earth Protective Tariff, whether il
afford incden al protection not, partial and there
fore, unconstitutional legislation
They came into power the advocctes OF rigid econo-
my-and yet they passed Distribution Act, when,
the language of truth, Treasury bankrupt
public creditors were turned empty away, and the
solvency of our Government doubted abroad -
This Distribution Act squin,s at assumption o:
State Debts by which foreign capitalists to be be-
nei,t-d, and the solvent States be called upon
10 discharge the debts of those which have by prof-
gacy gone into repudiation. They passed an odious
Bankrupt Law, by which thousands Of our homes, CT.
.zsns defrauded OF their rights while reckless spe
cuators, the subjects of Bank favours and clamorou-
advocates for reform feast the spos of the homes,
cuz-n. These nre of the political SINS Of which
modern Wn'ggery stands charged before the tribunal
OF the country. IL becomes the patriot well
