Ii might seem TO any reasonable
person, who has followed the history
/ OF the Democratic party for the last
| twenty-five or thirty years, that,
possibly it might admit that It was =
little in error in maintaining that the
tariff is a tax. 1t probably will, after
/ protection has become permanently
fixed principle of our Government. 1t
is not vet quite time for II 10 do so. Ii
never originates anything, until the adj
mission IS of no Importance, except to
show that the party was originally
wrong. 1t never has the enjoyment
and pleasure, which comes from having
participated in anything, which has IN
any manner whatever, advanced our
country's interests. The hindsight OF
the Democratic party ia so abuormaily
developed, that its foresight has never
had any growth. 1t would seem that
facts might act upon the sense OF the
party, and that il would not be so very
hard for il to see that two and two
make four, but facts have no part in
Democratic logic. 1t can not be made
TO see that the reason that land IN the
vicinity OF prosperous and thriving
} manufacturing and merchantlle town
or city is enhanced ID value, because oil
the improved home market which the
holder of the land enjoys. 1t can not
be made TO understand that, were Il
not for this home market and the
facility of immediate disposal, which
are always found in these prosperous
! and thriving manufacturing and mer
camille towns and cities. th'
: land of the far-of, and per
; haps for more fertile, prairie
q would be worth as much as the land
l. near those towns and cities. 1t canno
4 be made to comprehend that it is II
. the little farms that the money lsmade
that it IS far easier, and far better TO
the land, too-that the same amoun
of money be made off forty acres o
ground, as off 160. But such is tn
case, and protection has tendency tc
ward cutting up the large farms, an
Is having them more thoroughly cult
= waited iD smaller parcels. Yet 1t IS IN
le possible for the party to admit sue
.. fact at the present time. After 1t ha
IS become an established and recognize
policy of the people, 1t may not onl
admit it, but If it admits it, 1t will ur
u doubtedly claim it as an original lde
of the party, as IS It's wont IN all estaI
lished governmental affairs.
