whatever objections may be cherished in GER
tain quarters to the name from events grow
ing out of that unhappy struggle Will sink
out of sight in the presence OF the live
economic issues the people will then have to
pass upon.
ALBERT SCHEFFER,
the other member of the firm, agrees entirely
with his partners as to the policy to be pur-
sued at the next presidential campaign, but
holds that there should be reorganization OF
the Democratic party under new name.
There are, he said, not Democrats enough to
succeed, and the organization does not seem to
draw towards it even the dissatisfied elements
publicans would hail with pleasure the ad-
vent of new party founded
on current principles, but when obliged
to choose between the two old organizations,
adhere to their own in preference to the Dem
ocratie. With live issues, and such reorgan-
izatiOn, with new name, and say, David Davis
of Illinois, as the standard bearer, he believed
the Republican party would be swept from
power in 1884, and an era of genuine reform
inaugurated, which would result in a realiza-
ton of the much wanted Democratic claim OF
a government of the people and for the people

road. He left the Republican party and united
his fortunes with the Democratic party at the
time of the Liberal detection, and from the
first has been, and still is an enthusiastic and
able worker in the Democratic ranks. he has,
for years, been sent to the legislature from the
city, having been member of both houses,
and is universally respected for his probity,
purity OF character, and honesty of motives

ideas of the next campaign, briefly expressed
In answer to those Investigations, are as fol-
lows:
No. There other questions that can not be
ignored-the currency. banks of issue, etc.,
ETC., and another question, quite as important
as the tariff question, and that Is the issue
likely to be made under the evident policy of
the Republican party, to increase the constitu-
tional powers of the general government, under
of the rights now secured by the constitution
to the several States.
As to question two, do not believe that the
Democratic party is disorganized, as the ques-
ton would seem to imply. The Democratic
party is not unpopular on account of its prin-
ciples, but because of the foolish utterances of
men claiming to be Democrats. don't see
how you are to get more appropriate party
name. 1t has been the distinctive party name
for more than fifty years, and change of
party name would probably drive out Of the
party more voters than you would gain from
the Republicans, or other factions, by adopt
ing new one.
As to the last question, answer 40.

him out of the field. His permanent interest
in national politics is shown in his answer, as
follows:
No. One issue is not enough 'sFree trade
and sailors rights were watchw ords of De-
mocracy when Democracy was honest and
patriotic, uncorrupted and true. Free trade,
as an international policy, is, according to all
arguments, and all correct principles, COM
pretended in the syllogism that every man
should have the right to buy where he can
buy the cheapest and sell where he can obtain
the highest price. This is the ancient, heaven
blessed, old fashioned Democracy. But re.
gard as vital issue, among others, anti
monopoly. Monopoly is the danger of the
future. 1t is at home ever threatening danger.
What is the use of having free trade abroad
and grasping, merciless maelstrom of usury,
making a slave of every producer and Iaboring
man within the broad confines of the republic" !"
Reorganization is impractlcable. Reorgani-
cation cannot blot from the vocabulary of
civil liberty the name of Democracy. Its prin-
ciples will survive. Napoleon found among
the ruins Of Thebes Golfer containing an un-
known species of wheat. He planted them on
the soil of France and reproduced, after CEN
turies, the same variety that had flourished in
the olden times So it will be with Democracy
even amid the ruins of the republic.
7 will tell Won what the issuea on Ohf tn }n
Sound money; no wild cat promises to pay;
gold and silver for every paper dollar; free
trade; American ships for American commerce,
built and bought anywhere; merchant marine
whitening every sea; free schools
and education, free as waters of
everlasting life; free religion; internal
improvements, to develop the countless re-
sources of the country, the improvement of
the Mississippi SO as to convince the world
that in the problem of self government and
civil freedom the channels of trade are those
which the Almighty Father made, and that
here on this continent the old forms of tyranny
have disappeared, but the North is not inhab-
tied by barbarian hordes of goths and vandals,
ready to pounce down upon the South as
another fair and unhappy city, but by a
Christian liberty loving people, ready to con-
flowing through the great harvest fields OF
the earth, the untold blessing of commercial
peace, prosperity and wealth Improve the
Mississippi as the Zuyder Zee, as the Scheldt in
Holland. That will break the bone of mon
opoly. Senator Window was right. His
mastery report on transportation anticipates
the highest effort of true craftsmanship. His
letter to the anti-monopoly league of New
York was splendid masterpiece of con-
densed reasoning Monopoly, sir, the danger to
the the future Monopoly is worse tyrant than
king, emperor or czar, and unless checked
will produce revolution equaling horrors that
which deluged France with blood Captain, the
people rule, not railroad kings, nor manufac-
turing lords-nor money. Anti-monopoly Is
the peoples cry. Add to this our intensified
American nationality, and then corruption,
ring and spolitical money making will disap-
pear, and the final triumph il the great doctrine
Of government for the people, and by the
people be secured.
