Does tho Democratic Platform Mean
Free Trade?

WHAT THE MEMPHIS APPEAL HAS TO SAY
AND 1T VOICES THE SENTIMENTS OF
HUNDREDS OF DEMOCRATIC ORGANS,
NORTH AND SOUTH.
From the Memphis Appeal, Aug A., 49,
We lay down concisely, and we
trust clearly, the Democratic doctrine
of free trade, which is as old as the
birth of the party. The Democratic
party was always known as the party
that strictly construed the Constitu.
ton, and was, therefore. opposed to
the levy or collection of a tax for
any other purpose than the support
of the government, and was equally
as rigidly opposed to the appropria-
ton of public moneys for any other
purpose. its motive in its first and
most notable campaign being free
trade and sailors rights The doubt.
full States have long been familiar
with the fact that the Democratic
party is the free trade party and,
they know that any attempt to recon
cile it to protection in any form,
shape, character or degree would be
an abandonment Of principle that
would and of right ought to cover it
with obloquy and disgrace"
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville, KY, Courier Journal, and
Chairman of the Platform Committee
of the last Democratic National Con
WESTON, says:
"The Democratic party is a free
trade party, or it is nothing. The
Democrat who is not free trader
should 60 elsewhere"

Ahere?

The Republican national platform
declares for temperance and the
home. The State platform declares
for a local option law which will when
enacted and voted upon outlaw the
saloon from four-ffths of Michigan.
Yet the Prohibition orators proclaim
the Republican party whisky party.
On the other hand the liquor dealers
association have decided to support
the Democratic nominees for State
officers and to make their fight for
the State Senate and thus block tenn
perance legislation. They will sup
port the fusion nominees for State
Senators and quietly aid and rejoice
that the Prohibition party will assist
them by running legislative tickets.

What Bismarck Thinks!

II is generally conceded that Bis
marck is one of the greatest, # not
the greatest, living statesman. His
opinion, therefore, with reference to
any question of statecraft is entitled
to weighty consideration. In speech
to 1.-The Reichstag May IL, 1882, he
gave utterance to these views regard
ing the American system Of protec'
ton: "BECAUSE 1T is MY DE.
LIBERATE JUDGMENT THAT
THE PROSPERITY OFAMERICA
is MAINLY DUE TO ITS SYS-
TEN OF PROTECTIVE LAWS, |
URGE THAT GERMANY HAS
NOW REACHED THAT POINT
WHERE IT IS NECESSARY TO
INITIATE THE TARIFF SYSTEM
OF THE UNITED STATES"
Bismarck's recommendation was
adopted, and for the past five years
the great German Empire, under the
leadership of the greatest premier
Europe has produced for centuries
has been initiating the tariff policy o
the United States with magnificent
results.

The Rev. S. N. Fellows, d. d., of
Waterloo, Iowa.. President of the Iowa
State Temperance Alliance, closes a
series Of open letters addressed to the
Prohibitionists with the following
summary of objections TO the third
party propogandists, and reasons for
bipartisan methods: 1r-

"to smash the old political parties"
2. 1t seeks political success rather
than success of prohibition.
3. 1t has lowered its stand for the
sake of political success.
d. 1t deprcciates the work of pro-
hibitionists outside Of that party
S. II seems to rejoice in any failure
or defeat of those not in said party
6. 1t seeks to break down prohibit
ton in States where it has been
secured by non partisan methods.
7. Only one in forty of prohibit
tionlsts adhere to said party.
8. 1t strives more earnestly to pro-
mote prohibition party success than
prohibition sentiment.
9. 1t manifests less opposition tc
the rum power than to the old
political parties.
10. Its methods are such as tc
secure the co operation and support
of those engaged in the liquor traffic
II. Its members assume to be the
only true prohibitionists.
IL. 1t aims to reform parties rather
than tn, people.
IL. 1t divides the ranks of the
prohibitionists.

expense of the moral phases of pro-
hibition. ee'
