The Verdict OF History Against the
Bourbon Democracy. The Parallel OF
Democratic Shame

There may be those, not well versed in
the political history of this country, who
think it not well to revive the record OF
the Democratic party. But such persons
should remember that history is philoso-
ply speaking by example, and that from
its just decisions there can be no appeal.
1t is of the first importance that all eiti-
zens seeking for light as to their political
course, at the present time, should clearly
understand the questions that are now be-
fore the American people for decision,
and thus they will take part in the pend
ing contest fully inspired by a patriotic
sense of duty totheir country and to its
priceless institutions. In the decades be-
fore the war of the rebellion it was diff
cult for the men of the North and West
to realize the dangerous doctrines and de-
signs of the Bourbon Democracy. They
were so much absorbed in their business
cares and interests, so continuously devoted
to their industries and home duties and
responsibilities, that they could not be
ton of great political party could
be seduced into great conspiracy against
the nation and be plotting with our foreign
rivals. 1t il not a pleasant thought, yet
it is a truth not to be ignored. that for
political purposes and by partisan agen-
cies and efforts the Bourbon South has
been again soliditied and made unit, a
| working machine, as completely as in the
pro slavery years before the war. In
deed, during the period of the Con
federacy itself the political power
of the South was scarcely used more eff
| fectively than it is used to-day, and has
been 80 exerted since the beginning of
| Cleveland's Administration. Dominating
| in the councils and the power of the Dem
ocratic party, it is to-day as completely
controlling this government as in the days
of. Pierce, Davis and Buchanan. And its
alliance with English politicians and Eng
fish capitalists and manufacturers is as
close as in the most threatening period OF
the Rebellion. The tone of the British
press to-day is just as hostile to the Re
publicans and their measures, and just as
strong in its approval of the candidates
and measures of the Bourbon democracy
as it was during the most critical month
of the Civil war, supported by British
ironclads, armed by British crews anC
paid by British gold. 1t should be OBJ
served, no thoughtful patriot can forget
it, that the old Confederate Constitution
its Free Trade clause, is now the chief OBJ
ject of contention between the Democrat,
leaders and their British allies on the on'
side and the Republican party on the other
That all candid and truth-seeking citizens
may clearly see how the present line o
battle is drawn between the Republican,
and the Democrats, we place before then
the authenticated documents in parable
columns. Here they are:

Liquor Habit Vanquhshed.

The proprietors of the Moxie Nerve Food
that is creating such an excitement all over
the country as a remedy for the liquor habit
and nervous exhaustion, or results of over
work, talk the best sense yet. They say the
nervous system is the seat of life, and con-
trolls the functions of the body. The
functions of the body are to take nutrition
and get rid of a corresponding amount OF
old and impure material. If the nerves are
strong enough to do this, we are well, and
the blood purifes itself every day; if not,
we are ill. This is the whole system of
health in a nutshell.

The management of Gen. Stephenson at

1t would be hardly fair to demand that it
be faultless. But so far as he has been
efficient in preventing the evils of liquor
selling in the neghborhood of the men
under his charge. he is justly entitled TO
the commentator of all good citizens.
If rumsellers do not like his course, SO
much the better. Those who are effective
in stamping out the wicked and destrue-
tive traffic are to that degree true servants
of the public and real patriots. If society
is to be protected from outrage, violence,
and murder, all good citizens must set
their faces against an evil which becomes
more and more intolerahle as they see by
what means and for what vile reasons il
exists. Outrages and disturbances of the
public peace are of frequent occurrence
because of the unholy traffic.
