century of the Republic.
1t has professed gratitude to the brave de-
tenders Of the Union, yet has prescribed more
veterans than Washington at aEy time command
ed, and the President has vetoed more pension
bills than have been vetoed by all his predeces-
sors
1t has professed to be the only national party
within tile lines of the Union and yet its only
hope of success rests on welding as unit the
States lately in rebellion, and keeping alive the
prejudices and hatreds on which solid South is
1t has professed to be the champion of Amer
ican industry and labor and yet member OF the
cabinet its speaker of the House OF Representa-
tiYes and its leaders all over the country are
members of the Golden club, the great British
organization, which has striyen for 30 years ard
expended hundreds of thousands OF dollars to
secure the market of the United States for British

Processing to regard the treasury surplus as an
imminent danger and present evil it proposes as
a remedy to destroy the wool industry OF the Uni

its doors under the depression of the malign agi-

of the Mills bill which puts wool, lumber and
farm products on the free list and thus opens these
great Industries to the low paid labor OF Canada

PROCESSING to stand by the rights of the Ameri-
can fishermen it has given its assent to treaty
which surrenders to an imperial and imperious
nation the rights which in Colonial as well as in
later times, has brooked no rival on the seas and
which secures no advantage for the rights sur
rendered except what are accorded by the law of
nations.
