The Record of the Two Parties on
transportation.

Charles Sey mour, of La Crosse, de-
livered an interesting address some
days ago, at Tomah, in this State, on
the record of the two political parties
on the improvement of the rivers
and harbors and their support of leg
islation touching the subject of cheap
transportation. The improvement
of our rivers and harbors is an indis-
putibe necessity if the people wish
to avail themselves of the natural re-
sources of the country to create a
competition with railroads which
neither can be bought or sold. Wa
ter transportation is the peoples
regulator of railroad extortion during
the season when they are available.
On this point the democratic party,
from the date of it's organization to
the present, both in congress and in
our State legislatures, has been OPP
posed to all government action with
view to facilitating commerce. On
the subject of railway control the
representatives of democracy have
proved themselves to be equally hos
tile to the wishes of the people.

Republican Superiority Confessed.

The New York Tribune, (Liberal, }
commenting on the inability Of tae
Democrats of New England to see
and improve their opportunities to
regain the popular confidence, says :
Temporary reverses have sobered
the party of the Administrator ard
taught its leaders to correct their or
rors. 1t can be said OF it, indeed,
that no party in the history OF the
country was ever so sensitive to pub
lie opinion, none ever so readily obey
ed the helm of popular sentiment, as
did the Republican party for the first
twelve years of it's existence. Wheth'
err that record can be continued is ga
omen Question. On the other hand,
the effect of the most trifling success
es upon the Democratic party, in-
stead of steadying them with sense
of responsibility. has been rather to
see them crazy with the desire tor
spoils and intoxicated them With the
plumber. There has been no excep-
ton to this rule. The unprecedented
observer of our politics cannot help
remarking tina; in the sense of being
discreet, prudent, clear headed the
present dominant party has invaria-
bly, shown itself superior TO its oppo-
nents."

The Democratic Policy.

The doctrine OF he Republican
party has ever been free speech, free
press, fre e bbllot and the education
of all the people From the days OF
Van Buren,, through all Democratic
administrations, freedom of speech
was denied 10 one-half of the . nited
States, and post-masters at the South
were made the censors of the press
and were empowered to prevent the
transmission in the mails of any
printed matter opposed to their par
ticular views. The bowie knife, shot
gun and halter were the Democratic
weapons to stop free speech, and
they were always successful until
the overthrow of the rebellion. But
the same means are to-day being
used in the South to hinder trs e
speech and education. Not only
that, the Democracy of the South
add 10 their calendar of horrible
crimes the burning of churches and
school houses all to bring about the
defeat Of Republcanism and the ele-
walton of Democracy. The learned
Doctor Wight, who claims to have
visited the A ps, Queen Victoria and
every political party in Ameri' a
since Van Buren's administration,
| had the brass to say to an audience
in Lancaster that sail these reports
about southern outrages are made
for political effect. They were too
thin" How many Of the hearers
b, leveG the Doctors statement :?
We will venture 20 say, not one.
The leading Democratic papers OF
the South ackno wledge the murder
of negroes and Republican whites
and the burning of school houses and
churches by the White Leaguers, as
the same was accomplished two,
four and six years ago by the Ku
Klux, to the end that the Republican
party he party Of free speech, free
| prOss, free ballot and the education
of all the peofle-be overthrown.
The learned Doctor struck the wrong
section of country when be visited
Grant County to engraft the idea
that the reports of Southern out
RACES are false. The Louisville C0ur-
Ter Journal. paper of strong Demo
cratic and conservative incIinings,
reviewing the murderous work done
10 the South, mournfully declares
'that unless these outrages be stop
ped the success of the Republican
party for many years to come is as
sured.' The St. Louis Republican
(democratic) says of the Southern
outrages:
eve can tell the Southern people
that these conficts,i il not suppressed.
will reradicalze the North, give the
Republican party a new lease OF
power, defeat the Democracy In
every Northern state, insure the en-
actment of the civil rights bill, and
provoke from Congress harsher
supplement of reconstruction than
has yet been witnessed"
This was the utterance of DEM
ocratic paper some three weeks ago.
Yet Democratic orators here in the
North speaking of the Southern out

upon the unpleasant subject, say that

AMOUNT OF SPECIE IN THE COUNTRY
DIR. Linderman, in his report as
Director ofthe Mint, says the amount
Of specie in this country on June 30
last was 1896 100000 The estimate
shows a gain in specie and bullion in
the last two fiscal years of $50, 500,
000 The amount of gold and silver
coin and bullion in the world is esti-
mated at from $40 900 900 900 to II,

Democrats Appeal to AnimOsities of
Blood and Fortune.

The Democratic Congressional Commit
tees address says of Mr.. Magoon: cit is
quite possible he may be in sympathy with
the masses of our laboring population, but he
surely cannot lay claim to experience as the
author of such sy nPathy as we have shown
to be the cease with Mr.. Thompson. We
would not ordinarily invite anlmosiheS
founded upon conditions of blood or fortune,
but, in this case, we are justified in bringing
out in contrast every element of sympathy or
condition bearing upon the struggle
1t is fact that not one fact can
be presented by the opposition that
can weigh an ounce against the
character, the ability the devotion to
Republican principles of Mr.. MagooD;
they relastsntly admit that she may
be in sympathy with the laboring
population > yet it does not come
from experience as laborer. Does
Mr.. Thompson's sympathy depend
upon his experience ? Then may
God have pity on the laboring class-
es. No sensible observer and reader
need be told that the opposition ad-
dress to voters is obliged to appeal
TO ''animosities founded upon condi-
tons of blood or fortune" The jus.
tifidation is, in the electing of Thomp-
son to Congress the means to be
employed are the most contemptibl,
because they appeal to the clanlsh
ness, the prejudces against ability
to acquire wealth, which we all
would be glad to possess; against
"blood," which animosities ordinarily
would not be appealed to. No in
deed, had any of these been appealed
to when Washington, Jefferson, Hen
ry Clay, Sumner, the Adamses, and
men of their ink, were running for
office, we should have such contempt~
ible specimens of demagoguee as the
men who were cowardly enough to
pen the above paragraph, in their
stead. For moment, let Us mag
inc what a grand government our
country would now have had, had
providence permitted such men to
five in the olden times
Go on appealing to the prejudiccs
"animo sities" of bi0oi- Betray your
stupidity in your Knownothing
manfestos, and if Magoon don't bury
your aspirations, Notwithstanding
be is gentleman, God pity him, in
these times,) then we are no prophet.

Too Great a Risk .

we could not risk its administration
Of finance, which look toward repu-
dation its Indifference to the pro-
lection of labor, its opposition TO IN
ternal Improvement, it's unwillngness
to accept in good faith the result of
the war, and, above all these, its
open sympathy with those who per-
secute American citizens on account
of their political orinious, would
make it, in our opinion, the enemy of
our liberties, the STUN bling block in
the way of true national progress.
We know what the Republican party
is, what it has done, what it can do,
and we are satisfied with the record.
We have a safe currency, a credit
equal to the best, light taxation, hon.

REPUBLICAN SURPLUS, 1923 570.63
Reform FalsehoOd Nailed, the Belt Awarded.

The Madison Democrat lately said
that there was o deficiency in the
Treasury when the Republicans went
out, of S168 900. The State Register,
however, shows from the books on
the statement Of the Reform Treasurer,
that there was a surplus of 1928 570.-
g. The Register says:
The Portage Register admits the deficiency
in the state treasury, under Republican rule,
before the RefOrmers came into power Such
treasury on the first Of January last, was
about SI68 900. That sum the Reformers
have wiped out during the first nine months
of their administration Madison Democrat.
For good square lying, the Demo-
crat can take the belt. We have
never admitted there was any de-
ficiency in the state treasury under
Republican rule, but have, time and
again, denied such insinuations, and
even if we had admitted any such
thing, it would not have been true.

grounds which it occupied in 1860,

A FALSE CHARGE. The cry that
the party has become corrupt is false
true it is that members of it have
become tnlse-but it would be as
fair to say that all of the twelve were
traitors because Judas betrayed his
Master for thirty pieces of silver
men ever have and ever will sell
their honor, and sacrifice everything
for gold and in party numbering
SO many, is it strange that there
should be those who would commit
these crimes. Select hundred men
and you will find rogue-a thous-
and and you Will find ruffian. But
there is not that instance on record
where the Republican party has fail
ed to expose, denounee, and parish
those who have trangressed.
