I1873 THE WORLD. 1919,

A new political ere is opening before the
country.
The negro-cycle of our politics has rounded
to Its conclusion through civil war, social vio-
lepce, industrial disorder, and has ended in
giving freedom to four millions of the negro
race, and the ballot to its adult males.
-"The old order changeth, yielding placeto new"
The politics of this new era will come home
to every mans business and bosom as never
before, being vital to private prosperity and the
maintenance of Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold encroachments
Of Federal upon State powers and ofboth upon
the large liberty of American freemen now as
always to be repealed with ceaseless vigilance;
not only is home rule or local self-government
now as always to be maintained for the best
guarantee of civil liberty and of national great
ness, but besides, the victories of peace which
are to give splendor to the new. political era
must be won against every advantage which
even enemies of free institutions could desire or
possess. ..-... .~.>
A gigantic Debt, which the honor of the
country is pledged to pay, eneurnbers all our
industries with its oppressive burden. Never
theless our systems Of Municipal and State Tax
alton are crude, unequal, and defraud the poor
to release the rich. Nevertheless our system OF
Federal Taxation is such an infamous master
piece of Ignorance and incapacity, put to the vile
uses of monopolists and favorites and thieves,
as never anywhere has disgraced modern civil
lization since Louis XIV, with his methods of
taxation rather than its amount, paralyzed the
| industries of France. And along with the Ta-
riff which prohibits the export of our manu-"
features, abridges the number of our industries,
cuts down the profit upon the exports from all
our farms, plantations, and mines; abolishes
our shipping from off the high seas, and flchts
S5 from the peoples pockets every time it puts
ST. into the U. S. Treasury,-along with this
engine of oppression, stupidity, and fraud goes
a Currency of fuctuating value as the measure
of values in every act of domestic exchange.
/ Whatever parties may arise Or fall, whatever
their defeats or 'triumphs, and whatever their
names, THE WORLD now and always will re-
main the nnflinching champion OF a
LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.
whereof Freedom defended and defined by JUS
tice, is the polar-star.
As a Vehicle of Nesos, THE World will spare
no expense, no energy, to maintain and advance
its place in the first rank of metropolitan jour
mails. Its fresh, abundant, various, and accu-
rate news, comprising the whole circle OF cur
rent intelligence and literature will be discuss
