Who Are Enemies Of Labor.

Who Are Enemies of Labor,
Andrew Jackson was the hero of
Democracy-aye, the demi-god of
"the party" Under jackson the De-
mocracy were for gold, and against
silver and paper. Gold s0as .bInq! All
opposed to gold as the circulating me-
dunn of the nation; all in favor of
paper redeemable in specie. The elder
Tommy Ewing & Co." were denounc-
ed by the Democracy as Rag Barons,"
Paper Kings" Shinplaster Prin-
ces," combined and organized in a
piratical plot for the robbing of the
masses and the destruction of their lib
critics. A change has now come over
the spirit of the Democratic dream.
To-day with the Democracy, paper, tr-
redeendbIe paper, is king! Now the adj
vocates of gold of the policy of Jeffer-
son and Jackson are denounced by the
Democracy as in conspiracy for the
plunder of the people and the destruc-
ton of their liberties. How is thatp In
1852 the party" the old radical De-
mocracy of Jefferson and Jackson, sur
rendered to the pro-slavery Oligarch,
and united with them in the scheme of
rebellion for the destruction of the
Republic. Have they now capitulated
to the "Rag Baron" the "Shinplaster
Monster P" Are the Democracy now in
conspiracy for the plunder of the
masses ? Either they are, or Jefferson

Under Jefferson and Jackson, the in
fallible law-givers of at the party and
before the discovery of the Californian
and Australian mines, when the supply
of the precious metals was compara-
| lively limited, and the metal conse-
quently at a premium, the Democracy
demanded an exclusive metallic cur
rency as the only currency recognized
by the Constitution, as the currency of
the poor man, as the only currency
which by its intrinsic value secured to
the farmer, the mechanic and the la
borer a real equivalent for their labor
as the only currency which defeated
the rapacity of the Internal Paper
Monster in its infamous schemes "
for the plumber of the masses. Nor
would they be denied. How is it that
now the Democracy-at least so-called,
and usurping the prestige and mantle
of the Democracy of Jefferson and
Jaekson-are the "Rag Barons,n the
"Shinplaster Monsters, so denounced
by Jefferson and Jackson, and by all
the prophets and wise men of The
Party" as plunderers of the people ?
Pray, how is that ? NotOriously, in
1852, "the party' capitulated to the
oligarch. Has the Decentralization be-
gun by slavery extended to the curren-
cy ? Are the Democracy to-day organ
lied for the plunder of the masses
Either they are or Jefferson and Jack
son were frauds and liars. Was Jeffer-
son a fraud Was Jackson liar ? viii
