instance where the lea lers of p liticaI
; party to which they were loyal advise
or urge that party to take up a new -
sue which they knew or believed would
divide and defeat it? | know of no
such instance and take it to be a fixed
fact that self preservation is the first
law of nature, with political parties as
well as with individuals. Both Re-
publican and Democratic parties seek
to hold all the voters they have, and
get as many more as possible. This
was true in 1875, when to hold the
liquor vote they were induced to repeal
the local option law and it has been
true ever since. The liquor interest,
now welding a power sufficient to
cause success or defeat, life or death, to
come to either of those parties, COM
mands their leaders, under penalty of
political death, to stop this work and
they do their utmost to keep every man
in rank and file, subject to their wiki
Can they support party, and by such
support, put down the power that rules
it? Can they serve God and mammon
at the same time, in the same act
They may deny that their party is
serving the liquor interest. Why did
it not oppose the repeal of the local
option law? Why did it endorse those
instrumental in that work? Why has
it ever since refused to do as much as
even to say it is in favor of submitting
the question of the prohibition of the
traffic to vote of the people? 1t is
claimed that you have two thirds of the
temperance men in your ranks. If this
is true, then are you not doing as
party double the service for the liquor
interest that it is possible for the DEM
ocratic party to do, in that you restrain
them from doing the political work
needed to be done? / do not say that
your motive is the support Of the liquor
interest; it is evident to me that your
aim is to support and give success to
your party. The liquor men mean to
body polite makes legitimate and offers
them for money consideration. The
union of the two interests results in
ruin and misery to thousands

or marks, it is somewhat easier to be a
millionaire-a franc being worth triile
less than 90 cents and q mark worth
80 cents.
