The election this fall is one that
appeals directly to the pockets OF
the producers of the State. The re-
suit is a matter Of pecuniary interest
to them; fer on its result depends
the question of railroad tariffs and
passenger rates. l. is the verdict to
be given, either for Or against the

The Democratic Party.

Senator Morton in his recent
speech at Indianapolis spoke as fol-
lows of the unstable record and posi-
ton of the Democratic party; "The
Democratic party" ho remarked, is
out OF power and struggling to regain
it, 1t seizss upon every popular dis
count, and seeks to avail itself OF
every local passion or prejudice to
iniure the Republican party. 1t has
no policy for administering the Gov
eminent, and makes no attempt at
consistency. II is at liberty to pro-
TESS in one locality what it denies in
another. La Name it Is for tree
trade, in Pennsylvania for high pro.
tective tariff, and in Indiana for
"tariff 70. revenue" 10 some Of the
States, he said, the Democracy as
serted the principles that produced
the rebellion 10 others it declared
the power of Congress to overturn
the State Government of South Car
DINA aad louisiana. Aud thus 1t is
that this old Democratic party that
| ia so clamorous TO be once mere en-
trusted with power is playing fast
and loose upon the great questions
before he people to-day Upon the
important issue Of temperance tho
Senator's showing up Of the D9mo-
crazy is particularly noticeable and
worthy tho most thoughtful consid-

ing it in the different States and Ter
ritories; with this qualification, how
ever. that there is general leaning
to the side of intemperance. 1t may
be said, generally, to go as far ia
fav, of the unrestrained traffic in in.
toxicating liquors as it can not TO
wholly forfeit the respect and friend
ship of those who are inclined to the
side OF temperance. If the side of
temperance men are for prohibition,
the Democr acy are tor license law,
always striking lower and making
bid for the support of those who traf-

temperance men asked only for

would put the license very low, or
have no license at all, still offering in
ducements for the support of that
class of man. Whatever measure
may be proposed in any state or
Territorial whereby to diminish the
evils of intemperance, for some rea-
son it is sure to come short of reoeiv-
ing Democratic support; and they
never fail to find some good reason
for opposing it, although they may
deal 10 glittering generalities in favor

they not seize the opportunity while
iron is cheap, aud railroad projects
abandoned, of building some great
competing line, controlled by honest
men as they pretend to be and which
would make them all railroad and
money kings" We hear no such talk
or enterprise as this. Uuless they
show some confidencein the "people"
by undertaking the extension aud CON-
pletion of our railroad system, of which
we now feel the, pressing need, is it
possible for Mr.. Young to revive bust
ness and enterprise by telling us that
aggregate capital is terror and
danger, when the expenditure of ag>
gregate capital in the construction of
railroads is exactly what the tens of
thousands in our country who live on
their daily wages, now sorely need?
Every thrifty farming neighborhood
in the United States ought to be, at
furtherest, within ten miles of a rail-
road depot This ought to be the
motto of that party that is TO lead and
control the energies of the American
people in this era of peace. When
aggregate oapital' has done so much
and provided us all with railroad
and convenient depots, we viii be
disposed to dilate upon its dangers. -
And should the State see fit to take
possession of a rebellious railroad and
run tidy its own agency, the Repub-
lican Address advises the purchase of
the property from its owners. Mr..
Yonng's counter address advises
square confscation. Should the own
err of a grist mill refuse to run i. at the
toll allowed by Law, the public author
tiles could hardly take the mill and
ran it without compensation to the
owner.

The decline of the third party
movement is fact that even many
of its leaders acknowledge. 1t was
started in the interests of Democracy
and kept alive through jealousy and
hate, and it's extinction will grieve
no one but those political hacks
whose prosperity and life depends up
on its growth. The few good men
who were led to its support 10 the
belief that1ti honestly meant rSform
have opened their eyes to its object,
and are found to- day where they be-
long, in the ranks of the Republican
party. The issue is made up before
the country. 1t is not an issue on
finance, transportation, civil rights,or
any other economic question. 1t is
THE old issue. which the people have
been called to face for the past years..
Shall the country be governed by
Democracy or Repubicanism ? That
is The simple question at issue, and
others growing out of the campaign
are incidental to it, The Democratic
party arraigns the party in power
for its extravaganza and corruption,
not to secure purer state of affairs
under Republican management, but
to induce the people to accept its
government in lien of the one it ar
raigns. The simple questions to pass
upon are
Will the affairs of government be
conducted as honestly in Dem oeratic.
hands as if kept in the hands of Re-
publicans. ~,"
Will the nation be as safe in it's in
dustrial and financial interests under
Demoerasic rule as it now is under
Republican?
VIII its citizens, especially those
who have recently been invested with
the rights of citizenship, be as secure
in the enjoy of their constitu-
tionaI rights under the Democratic
administration sthey now are uader
the fostering care of Ropublicanlsm
These are the questions which will
be asked and answered throughout
the land. Democracy. has nothing
but empty promises to offer. Its
past and present record, wherever it
has held or now holds ROVER, is
against it. 1t stands before the
world convicted of crimes against
free government and the sacred rights
of mankind. 1t has been tried ard
found waiting, and can no longer
claim the restoration OF a confidence
which it once abused by open betray-
al. The Republican, party has a
record filled with proud deeds and
glorious achievements. It's history Is
the record of s. nations salvation, OF
equality Of rights and . more perfect
civiliz alton. 70 accept the rule OF a
party that Las been so true IN the
past is to accept . safe guard to serve
as with equal fidelity in The future.
