Democracy VS.. Aristocracy.

Jefferson in the immortal Declare
ton of Independence declared that
/" all men are created free and equal
and endowed with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" This
doctrine, although apparently acqui-
esced in by all those who were at the
time desirous of throwing off the
oppressive yoke of Great Britain,
was not without opposition when the
question of the adoption of a form
of government came up for discus
sion. The opposition led by Alexan-
der Hamilton declared themselves in
favor of a strong, centralized, aris-
tocratic government, affecting to be-
lieve that the common people were
not fit to govern themselves.
Jefferson championed the cause of
the common people, or rather, the
cause of equal rights and privileges
for all. The struggle which lasted
through number of years ended in
the complete triumph of Jefferson
and the establishment of system of
government that has challenged the
admiration and respect of the civiliz-
ed world. From time to time, how
ever, during the progress of the
country's history, the spirit of anti
democracy has shown itself in the
enactment of class legislation tend,
ing to the Capitalization of wealth
and proving detrimental to the inter
est of the toiling masses. A very
notable instance was the chartering
of the United States bank which had
been strongly opposed by Jefferson
and was afterward crushed by that
uncompromising defender of Demo
cratic faith, Andrew jackson. Dur
ing the twenty-four years of uninter.
rupted power held by the oppotion
to Democracy from 1861 to 1885
class legislation was fostered to such
an extent as to alarm the masses and
caused them to again reinstate the
Democracy with the exception of the
United States Senate, which is still
held by its opponents.
Notwithstanding the doleful pre-
dictions made by the opposition o.
what would happen if the Democracy
gained control of the government
the country has prospered, and al
fair-minded men agree that the ad
ministration has been free and cleal
of iobbery.
There is yet a great work to be &C
complished in the matter of relieving
the overburdened masses of the I'm
just and oppressive tariff laws enact
ed by the Republican party, which
hang like a milestone around tn,
necks of the people, and which hav,
been instrumental in building up
moneyed aristocracy more powerful
than any ever conceived in the wild
est dreams of Alexander Hamilton
To the end that it may be successful
in it's efforts to reform these abuses
the Democracy now asks the suppor

The Republicans in their platform
adopted at Chicago last week, profess
opposition to trusts; and yet the
trusts are legitimate children of Re-
publican legislation; they favor the
appropriation of public lands for
homesteads of American citizens, and
yet they threw away millions and mil
lions of acres of these lands in dis
honest railroad jobs; they favor the
restoration to the people of unea.ned
railroad grants, and yet, while in
power, they took no steps toward
this restoration but left it to be done
by their opponents; they say the
Democratic party has not restored
one acre Of public lands, which is an
assertion well known to be false; they
favor the rebuilding of the merchant
marine which they found in a -four
ishing condition and left destroyed
BY their pernicious legislation, the
early rebuilding Of our navy which
rotted under their rule, and they ad-
vocate civil service reform, which
means nothing more nor less, nor
else than reform of the abuses that
erept into our government through
their dishonesty.
All of these declarations, which
are hypocritical and at variance with
their conduct while in power, are
condemnation Of their own conduct
and an endorsement Of the Democrat
10 party. The people can hardly be
sxpectsd to trust them to rectify their
own s1ors .snd punish their own
crimes.

Hon. N. G. Blanchard.

Who in the Fourth Congressional
District does not know n. G.
Blanchard both personally and as
their representative in Congress-
Therefore he needs no introduction
nor recommendation at our hands
They know that he has made faith
full, energetic and efficient represen-
tative, and that the longer he occu-
pies that position the more efficient
and influential he becomes, whether
he becomes more faithful or not; and
if he has brought dishonor or even
the suspicion of dishonor on his con-
stituents it has never reached their
ears, and they are disposed to reward
faithful seryice.-Bienuille Neas Era.
In view of the great experience
and eminent fitness of Mr.. Blanchard
as Representative in Congress, we
think it will bea judicious move for
the Democrats of this District to re-
tain him in that position He is an
energetic and active worker in behalf
of the people, and no communication
addressed to him by a constituent
fails to receive due consideration, no
matter how humble the applicant
His success in securing substantial
legislation for the District and State,
together with his record as a pure
man of industrious habits and indie
fatigable energy, stamp him as wor-
thy of the confidence of the people.
|-Coyar Chronicle.
1t would appear to be supereroga-
tory for Mr.. Blanchard's friends to
eulogize him at this point, since some
of his bitterest political opponents
in his candidacy for the United States
Senate have alleged as reason for
their opposition that we needed Mr..
Blanchvrd in Congress, and that it
would not only be damaging to his
District, and to Louisiana, but, that,
it would be misfortune to the en-
tire Mississippi valley for Mr.. B. to
be taken away from the Craftsmanship
of the River and Harbor Committee,
so Mr.. Blanchard will likely have a
walk over this time-RobeIine Re
