Wisconsin if we carry

ana, Illinois and Wisconsin if we carry
the natiOn?"
This was the speciOus reasoning that
brought the party to defeat twenty years
ago; democrats would admit that slav-
ery was wrong, great moral crime
but they said: ..Hush! keep quiet. We
will carry the south solid, and that viii.
give US victory"
It's never profitable to violate truth
and Justice for experiences sake.
l it be true, as we think it is that a
pernicious monetary system, devised in
the interest of capital, has brought the
American people to the verge Of a great
guilt of universal bankruptcy, and if this
has been the work Of the Republican
party, then the Democratic party should
have met that evil in Jackson an spirit,
and thrown itself upon the hearts OF the
American people. Doing this they would
have been reformers, revOlutionists,
friends Of the people; and they would
have gone into the battle with an elan
which nothing could resist. Instead Of
doing this they get down OF their bellies
and crawl before this New Slavery, and
adopt platform OF mermaid pat
tern, which viewed from one end is q
woman and from the other is Goldfish
and they try to slip in between the Re
publican party and Wall street, and. by
abasements and gyrations win the sup
port OF the capitalists who are perfectly
satisfied with the Republican party anC
who have nothing to gain BY desertine
it.
We are for COOPER and BOOTH. Le
no man accuse US Of vacillation or in
consistency. No party owns us. W.
adhere to principle and follow whert
it leads. We propose to make our lii.
protest against that slavish rule 0
caucuses and rings which now atfiict
this country. We are well aware tha
this is rot the pathway that leads to poll
tical honors or emOluments. We d,
not seek them.

OUR POSITION.

Some misapprehension seems to exist
as to our position in the present political
canvass. 1t seems 20 be the opinion OF
some that we are. or ought to be, simply
an attached fragment, a pendant remnant,
\ facile tail OF the Democratic party !.
This is mistake We are not and have
never claimed 70 be Democrat. since
the old kansas-Nebraska days. TWENTY
FIVE years ago. We are an Independent,
an Anti-Monopolist We left the Re-
publican party in the day Of its power
and greatness. when it had offices and
wealth to bestow on those who served
it faithfully and we enlisted with the
guerillas. where there was neither nav
nor plunder. We co-operated occasion
ally with the Democrats, because Of two
evils they seemed to be the least: and be-
cause being minority. they were natur-
ally opposed to the excesses Of the ma
jority.
We know it is charged that we are
vacillating that we pass readily from
party to party. Our answer is that Tor
six years past We have been an Indepen-
dent, an Anti-Monopoliss, and nothing
else; and we defy the whole world 10
show that during that time there has
been shadow Of turning in our political
course. We have been consistency itself.
We adopted, after full consideration OF
the whole subject, the ideas Of currency
reform enunciated By Gev. Allen and
Gen. Ewing OF Ohio, Landers and yor-
hees Of Indiana. and D0olittle Of Wiscon-
sin. Is it crime now that we will not
give up thoss convictions because body
uf men who met the other dav at St.
Louis resolved in favor Of hard money
and nominsted hard money man for
president

Unsuitable tax-eaters.
The st. Paul Dispatch says
The Chamber Of Commerce held two
hours session this morning which was almost
entirely devoted to discussing the subject OF

A general debate followed upon the subject,

should be lower taxation tor everything in or

referred back to the committee 10 report in
