about it. of the government ship that was On the
coast of Africa in slave-tradng times to suppress
the slave trade that seized the crew Of the Aneri
can savers, and when it came to night the captain
commanding the vessel with such a raft Of these
fellows aboard had to put ON the ha tches to keep
them under there in the night time-he could look
after them in the day time Well they came to
him. and said. Well this is pretty hot" "Yes. Sc
he said, know il is" And they said 81 If you nut
on the matches We can't sleep" We'll p said the
captain off don't put on the matches | can't
sleep" And you may be sure the matches went on.
And that is the ship that the south must be kept
under the matches of until the ship is delivered over
and the democratic party then will come out from
under the matches and have good time.
DEMOCRACY HELPLESS FOR GOOD.
Now, the democratic party does not prorose
anything. 1t proposes to be in power and gn'to.
But can not see that it proposes to do anything.
1t not help your currency. That is good
enough. This country VIII ever be true t. the
greenbaeks that saved them through their day of
tnal. When this patton sat at the gate OF victory
and could not enter in because the finances at the
country could not be hurried up rapidly enough to
carry on the immense transactions or the war,

have faith in that it will carry us through"
And the crippled army leaped 70 its feet and en-
tered the gate of victory. VIII the American
people ever asperse this greenback currency that

him what was his aim in life Why said the
sage, "a little fire, have not any ann. hsye
