We mink our n~eighbor. could have sustained

word Ha'gsSy instead OF Democracy, inasmuch

In 1910, The Wing leaders yrouIised their "io-
nest masses that hey would no, advocate a Uni.
ted States Bank, and that the Tariff compromise
would mol be disturbed by Ihem-yet, no sooner
did they mount into power than they put The
country 10 The expense ol an extra session OF Con.
gress, with The view OF creating ''lhc monster
and fastening upon Tho country a hur,bensome
and oppressive Protective Tariff. This We pre-.
sent as a specimen Of iha, good iash with which
The Wing tsadsrs acl towards The "honesl masses"
Of their party.
We will now turn 10 The promises and pe'tor-
names OF The Democratic leaders. In 1874, they
promised The 1hones. Masses OF their parry, thai.
they would repeal the odious Wing Tariff Of
1912, and would create in lis stead, a revenue
tariff, which wouli incidentally secure protection
10 all ths great Interests OF The country. That
promise has been fully redeemed, and the wide
spread prosperity Of The country, fully altests The
wisdom OF the aci.
Weappeal 10 The "honest masses ofthe Wings

Wing Tariff of 1872" and they will find that the
difference sill go pretty far towards pa, ing for
The schooling oflheir children.
The Wing leaders deceived The "honest mas
,e.' when they promised that they should CONT
nue. TO enjoy The blessings which The Compromise
secured Them, and as soon as they got The pow
er, laid burthcns on them '~'grievous 10 be borne"
Are hey willing again 10 trust such leaders,"
or, rather, will they not prefer 10 stand by those
who honestly sustain Inc principles which bring
such great benefit 10 lhsm2
The Democratic Leaders promised 10 re-estao-
l;sh the Constitute iona Treasury which The Wings
had repealed so as 10 force Inc "hoRsa 'cadc'S
OF their party 10 abandon their pledges against a
u. 8. Bank, and 10 aid in lis creation by The re-
ce.sity which The repeal OF The Constitutional
Treasury would create. The Democratic leaders
redeemed their promise, ard The beneficial effects
| Of The Constitutional Treasury have been even
greater than was expected by those who gave il
a most hearty and cordial support. VIII The
"hones, masses" Of The Wings lend their info.
ence 10 their deceitful "kadeyI" who will swear
strongly against a U. 8. Bank, and, as soon as
they are entrusted with power, will again brand
az traitors, every Wing who would dare 10 raise
his voice against such an engine Of destruction
10 the hes, interests OF The couDtryl
We might run out this article 10 any extent,
showing. by the records, that the promises made
By the Wing leele,, 10 The "honesI masses Of
their parry, were !s'mete venial slips which grow
no, near The conscience, whether they are kept or
broken while, ON the olher hand, The pro-
mics Of the Democratic leaders are always re-
deemed 10 good faith, because they love and
| cherish Inc principles which The Democracy sd'
vocate.
We trust thai Tho "honcsl masses Of The
Wings will read our bold and manly Address, anc
then turn 10 their own Headers" and ask them
"Wherc is our address2 Have we no, principle:

'hunrsly is tie best policy" may have deferred
