THE REPUBLICAN, IDEA.
On my part l rep esent the great
Demo crotic party. 1t is that which
gives us our local government, our
juries. Another principle is equal and
exact justice, freedom Of worship, the
collection OF taxation such ss to make
its burdens heaviest upon those who
are ablest to pay, and lightest upon
the poorest. Whenever party de-
parts from these principles it should
be overthrow. Our party is like the
planetary system. There ia the sun
with lis planets about it; all equally
and beautifully balanced. The Fedora.
Government is the sun, the States the
planets, and whenever the Central

tonight to araign the Republica
patty. Let US see whether it has
sto ID by The great principles Of hui
man liberty. When it came into
power we had two snd half millions
OF debt hang ng over the people.
Twenty years have passed, and we
find the same war tariff, and almost
fiftsen hundred millions of dollars of
debt still hangs over the people. They
declare that they are the protectors
and fosterels of
THE LAB0RING MEN.
Twenty years have come and gone
and the farmers have listened to the
old song in vain. And the Rspub-
lican candidate stands on the stump
today and says to the farmer, with a
long face, that he can't sell COW
and calf for a dollar and half. In
one breath they preach that war tariff
will give them home market aud in
the next that they can't sell COW
and Caif for dollar and bali. His
only argument is tn 1t the Democratic
party is in power and "us Republican,
are out" | charge that the Repub'
lican party has dliven our flag from
the high seas by it's war tariff. We
have the graudest country on the
globe. The whole continent is inlaid
with every kind of mineral that the
infinite mind OF God could conceive
The mountain tops lean against tbs
sky and their valleys are as rich es th'
VALLEYS OF THE NILE.
