pose Democratic skeletons, discarded
principles, broken faith, corruption and
intimidation at the polls, and forever
blast the heresy of that free trade docu-
ment issued from the White House in
December. 1887. They promised that
pauper labor and pauper wages should
never be the heritage of American work
ingmen. They had kept those pledges.
After referring to the work of the
league during the year, he said no better
report was needed than to go to the re-
viewing stand in Washington and see
the living evidence of the work. A year
ago they had 400 clubs. but the inau-
gural procession would be the work of
ten thousand clubs and not less than
two million members. Democracy
