these have been advocated recently 10

Our able contemporary gives the
thought Of the country a good text
upon which every sensible man may
make his own sermon.
Il cannot be denied that The Ameri-
can people emphatically sat down on
the old Federal party, though ils Illus
tfious sponsors were men OF might and
acknowledged patriotism.
The fail Of the old Federal party.
that was aristocratic aud centralized IN
its doctrine. marked the triumph Of the
American Democracy, which was a
government of the people. with the Of
fccfs as trustees and servants.
This was the Jehersonian idea and
the idea Of George Mason and Patrick
Henry, followed by a long line OF active
patriots who founded the germ of popu-
mf freedom with the gigantic growth
that is proportions show to The nations
to-day.
The war gave the opportunity for Q
new aud militant idea, which. for the
period Of peril, was represented by O
powerful party organized against the
theory Of secession.
After the close Of tho strife the Re
publican party took to the old Federal
iIea OF Capitalization and protection.
and TO-DAY it is nothing but an illegiti-
mate issue OF a dolarl sire.
The true American idea Of popular
representative government is as lar
from the Republican party as The sun is
from Satan, aud the popular mind

national issue Of taxation for support
