History teaches by example. What was
patriotic during the Revolution, cannot be
the reverse now. But, on the contrary, if
it should appear that the principles and
measures Of the Wing party in 1914, were
identical in character and spirit with the
principles and acts of the Wings of ITS,
then we claim that the party which oppo-
ses those principles should take the same
relative position now, which the opposels
OF Wing principles did in ITS.
They were called TORIES in rs. They
call themselves Free Trade .Ad0ocaies in
1874
In rs, they We're the advocates of Brit
ish interests, and, like Ezekiel Polk in
North Carolina, claimed and received Pre-
lection from the hands of Iritish power.
In 1914, :hey are opposed to the prolec-
ton of American Industry, but are in favor
Of committing the interests Of Republican
America to the tender mercies Of British
Legislation and Kingly power, as ~ere The
Tory party offs.
We will not run the parallel any farther
at the present time. We propose to sui
init documentary proof, drawn from sour
ces of undoubted credit, and then leave
the reader to finish the parallel to suit HIM
self.
