According to the most eminent
Republican statisticlan in the coun-
try, Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
the value Of the last ten cotton
crops alone was not less than 81
5OO,0 100000, and probably $1,000,
600: 900. Two-thirds Of this has
been cxportcd--which means that
tor one single staple produced by
the ''rebelS" during the last ten
years tins country received the
enormous sum Of 1000 millions in
gold, Or more than the entire ma
tional debt, from Europe. That
this was largely due to the opera
t!ons Of regaind seit:government
is shown by the simple fact that
while the cotton produced in the
four years Of carpet.bag rule Of
1866, '67, '6S and SO, amounted to
about 1852. .O00.OO&: in the years
1876, IT, rs and 79, under Demo-
cratic rule, it amounted to over
1851, 100000, or absolutely
MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH,
an increase Of over 100 per cent,
AZ addition to the national wealth
in four years alone from a single
staple Of s50O,000,OO0 as the differ
euce between Republicanism and
Democracy. If you look at any
Republican almanac you will see
that OF the s2,97S, 100000 of agri-
cultural exports between 1865 and
1871, the products Of the South
alone amounted TO about Sl,546,-
900, 1000. If you believe that emf
nent Republican, Mr. Atkinson,
the value Of the cotton crops Of
lS70-79 was, as | said before,
about 50, 3,O00,0O0,OO0.
Now, is all this the result of
buIl-dozing, the ku-klux and South
ern outrages and rebel rule? We're
these glorious rebel deeds COM
mitted under Republican carpet
bag rule or Democracy? Can
such results be due to the shot
gun, the ku-klax or the tissue
ballot? Slavery is dead. Seces-
sion is dead. State sovereignty is
dead. The Union is no longer in
danger because there is too little
power at Washington, but on the
contrary because there is too
much. We have rushed from ono
extreme to another, from secession
to Capitalization and imperialism.
As we killed secession, we must
kill centraIization. AS we de-
stroyed the slave power, let us
now destroy fraudulent one.man
power and the money power in
politics. All these have their
abode in the Republican minority.
if the republic will rot destroy
the Republican party, the Repub-
!ican party will certainly destroy
the republic. TO keep the Repub-
lican party in power is to give it
d vote of confidence. To give it
!. vote of confidence is to endorse
and approve the great theft of
the Presidency. 10 approve that
is to encourage and invite it's
repetition, not only by itself but
by other parties in the future. To
retain the Republican party after
all it has done is virtually to de-
clare that political parties may do
as they please, they will not be
held responsible. Upon these ideas
we demand a change. We demand
the election Of Hancock and the
success ofthe Democracy. We de-
mand it not for the sake Of party,
but for the virdication Of liberty.
We demand it not for the sake of
the Offices, but to preserve the
republic!
