For the first time in twenty-five years |
the Dimocrisy hev it in ther yower to |
rise from the ashes NV defeat and at
tain the hight and summit of polittikle |
power For the fust time sence its
stars sot in gloom in 1860, and kept sot
while we wuz fitin TO defend the eternal
and unquenchable doctrin NV States
rites, DARN on the field what we he'd
enunshiated in council, we kin, eff we
are wise. resoom the ranes NV power
and controle the destiny NV the kentry.
The last twenty yeers hev bin sole
depressin and spirit-sinkin to the avrige
Dimocrat. We hev bin KEEP out Nv offs,
and hev bin compelled to subsist eE best
wecood on sich lokle triumfs ez the fol-
" Nv our enemies throwd in our way.
We hev drunk NV the waters NV hoomil-
isshen, and fed on the husks NV poftikle
helplisness.
But even adversely hez its yooses,
Sampson diskivered honey in the car
cass, and everything evil hez something
NV good in it. Had the Democrisy bin
in power for the last twenty years, the
Government wood not now hev bin
wuth plunderin, fer it wood hev bin
milkt to the degree Nv maxim it hardly
wutb while hevin controle NV it. The
only excuse ther is for drinkin is to hev
suthin to enconomize on when you need
to economise. We hev bin KEEP out nv
place, il is troo, and the Republicans
hev bin in power; but while we wuz
starvin they wuz nussin in the Govern
ment and keepin it to that pint NV fatnis
that it will stand vigrus milkin for q
number NV. years. With a Treasury
full and overiowin, with system witch
will bring any amount more than they
may want, 1t is well for those who hev
outlived the hunger NV twenty-five
years that we hev bin KEEP out.
Wat we want to do is to drop tear
Tor them witch hez bin starved out and
hev died NV hunger; and let us witch
hev he'd facilities for borrerin enuff to
sustain US, so manage that we kin take
advantage NV the new condishuns, and
emansipate ourselves from the thraldom
of chance ivin, and fasten ourselves
upon the Government permanently.
/ don't know whether the Dimocrisy
hev got sense enough or not to run the
campanes between now and 1884 with
enough discreshun TO win the great fite
ahead NV us, wich is to determine
WuctucI OuI lCduCko aAC W lCNCl III blC
| fat pastors of official life or continyoo to
eggsist on the barren stubble NV nom
official position. 1t has been our fate,
thus fur, to kick over our kittle of fish
! jist when we had the fire bilin under it.
and presoom it viii be so this time.
We are the most gifted kickers-over NV
kittles NV fish nv anv organizashen that
| ever existed. Power rather hurts us.
When we get into posishen to do suthIn
we invariably commit some lunacy
wich makes 1t impossible for us to do it.
notis with alarm that many of our
noosepapers and speakers are bawling
fer- free trade. when 1t Is
necessary for us to carry Pennsylvany,
| Connecticut and the Southern States,
which are gittin into manoofactrin.
Wat loonacy! Them zealots don't
seem to understand that the first and
prinsiple thing for US to consider is the
| post-offises and custom-houses. That
is the reel ishoo with US wich hev bin
out in the cold for "a weery yeers, and
that is the only thing to consider. The
pint is to beet the Republican party, and
wrest from their keepin the pleasant
posishens they hev held so long and put
ourselves into them for four years any
how.
To do this we must hev votes, and tc
git votes we must accommodate our.
selves to the wishes nv the individual
voter. Eff it wuz practicable we should
hev platform in Pennsylvany wicf
would declare for high protective tar
if, and another for ulinoy witch would
be Free Trade-that is eff we diskivered
that nlinoy wanted Free Trade. But

vice versa, that wooden't answer; anc
likewise it wood be ruther renchin on ,
Dimekratic speaker who he'd bin howl
In for Free Trade in nlinoy to howl ekal
ly for Protection in Pennsylvany. We
must be akoot enuff to make a platform
on witch all kin stand. and witch all will
be satisfied with, and one that kiver
all sides NV the whole ground.
That platform is simply one demand
in sternly Tariff for Revenoo. A tar
if for Revenoo means suthin, or nothin
list ez you are a mind 10 take it. 1t
a convertible ijee. In Pennsylvany i
kin be explained-and rite here wan
to say that a platform amt wuth 500
markee for our purposes witch don't be'
to be explained. Eff it hez to be ex
planned, then 700 kin explain it in an,
way you choose. and kin make it 500
all latitudes and longitoods. For in
stance, "A Tariff fer Revenoo" WOO
be explained in Pennsylvany to meal
perteckshun NV the most perteck
inest kind, one which wood give ever
workman big wages and plenty u
, work.
In Ilhnoy, on the other hand, it WOO
be explained ez meaning a reduckshel
