deserves the condemnation of the
civilized world. We have ever been
welded to the principles ofthe Dem
ocratic party as we understood them
and to the party itself. We heped
and believed that when it attained
power, corruption would be Danish
ed from the public service, expenses
reduced at least one third, taxes
lowered at least one half, but IN all
these things we have been doomed
to disappointment. Not one dollar
less is coll ,cted but more, not one
dollar less is expended bat more ,
not one single burden has been re-
moved from the necks Of the people,
lot one single promise has been
keft, and not one SINGLE political
or financial pledge has Teen fulfilled.
Now who is to blame for this derelic-
ton Of daty, and where does the
fault lie? The people certainly are
not to blame, the ia ult cannot be in
the principles and doctrines OF the
party 1t must be because these prin-
ciples have not been followed aud
put in practice. Mr.. Cleveland and
his cabinet seem to have absorbed
and swallowed up the Democratic
party and all its time honored Drin-
clples and traditions. Tie party
seems to have lost the courage Of it's
convictions and degenerated into a
Jisorganized band of scared bush
wbackers. Will not our folks in
Congress muster up courage and
backbone sufficient 10 push some
measure through for the relief of the
people :? Will they not do some
thing before the fourth day Of March.
to give the people confidence in
their power to aid the people and dt
fend their rights? We hope so. We
trust so. Do our folks in Congress
know how poor and hard pressed
our people are at home? Do they
realize and understand hoe badly
dissa' isfed, and how greatly Our
people are exercised over their pres
sent and future prospects and hopes?
We call upon congress in the name
of tie people to do something, and
do it quiekl v to relieve them from tt e
lntolerable burdens now pressing

YOU may be right. We don't believe
a majority of Democrats either in

the Republicans prefer him, and the

To remove the tax from raw mate

manly way to deal with this Tariff
question, and that is to levy a duty
ad valorem of about IS or 20 Der

would give all the revenue the gov

will have relief. There is no differ~

the people unless they will assume

We hope they will do before the

any brain, honesty and backbone,
we could capture or be captured by
the people.

now is backbone fearless honesty

We need one other thing. We need
an able, fearless, manly, dignifed

masses to lead. Our members in
Congress certainly have no idea Of
the poverty. suffering, unrest and
dissatisfaction Of the rank and hle
of the party, or they would make a
desperate effort to afford relief. and
give some satisfaction. Twenty
