taxes were imposed as temporary
expedients, and it was only grad.
ually that the country was Injured
to toleration of them. Since the
war, 1t may be said there never
was an hour when these taxes, or
the unconstitutional doctrine by
which their friends attempt to
justify them, were accepted as fix.
ed and final by majoritM of the
people. The war can hardly be
said to have ended, and elections
as matter of fact, were not
free until after the reconstruction
period. Even then they were only
partially free, and they are only
partially free now. They never
will be wholly free until the power
of these great monopolies, created
and enriched by government, has
been broken and their ability to
buy and intimidate has been term
mated.
Under these circumstances the
New England answers West, and
the Middle States respond to both
in condemnation of the party in
power. Iowa follows Ohio, and
Rhode Island follows Iowa, into
the Democratic column. The
elections of the spring like the
elections of the fall show not only
a rising. but rushing tide against
the iniquities in progress at Wash
ington, until, at last even the Re-
publican newspapers and the Re-
publican politicians have ceased to
to account for the adverse majori-
ties, alike in all parts ofthe country
by attributing them to local causes.
The country is beyond question
Democratic. 1t has been so, a
long while, and it is getting more
more so every day. If we do not
have a majority of more than half
hundred in the next House of
Representatives, with complete as
surance of a Democratic admins
tration in 1898, the fault will be
our own. The people are with us,
and the most ordinary prudence
in preliminary organization will
do the rest.

The Country Democratic.

There has not been since the
close of the civil war a political
situation so full of promise to the
Democracy, and, consequently, to
the plain people of the country, as
that which exists to-day. Turn
the eye in whatever direction we
please, and the signs are the same
Everywhere the people appear to
be alarmed by Republican excesses
and to be looking toward the res
toration of the Democratic party
to power as their only safety. Pro-
lection, which promised prosperity
to all, has brought ruin to all, and
profit only to few brazen monopo-
lists. The great industries Ian
guish, the failure of the greatest
of all, agriculture, threatening
general collapse. The Mckinley
bill, framed in the interest of the
monopolies alone, increases the
general uneasinss, and protests
come, not from one class, but from
all the leading industries. Itsatis-
fies nobody; it offers relief to no.
body; it has no support in public
sentiment, and would not be con-
sidered a moment in a Congress
which truly represented the peo-
of the United States. But its OBJ
ject being to reimburse the rich
monopolists, who laid out their
money in the purchase of the
Presidency for Harrison, and of q
majority Of the existing Congress
for themselves, it must be passed,
or we must go another year with
out that revision of monopoly
taxes which, on all sides, is con-
fessed necessity. "
We have hitherto shown in these
columns that the people Of the
United States are maturity Demo-
cratic. They want government
of the people, by the people, and
for the people. They desire free
dom, not restriction. They seek
liberty in trade and business, as
they do the liberty of person, of
conscience, of speech, and of the
press. They know as well as their
forefathers did that rich, splen-
did, and powerful government ad-
Mustered by classes for the benefit
of classes, must eat out their SUBJ
stance and ultimately en- slave the
many to the few. If they have
ever seemed to countenance the
policies looking towards such
government, it was in great ext
gencies, like the civil war, when
some overwhelming danger induc-
ed them to postpone the considera-
tion of these questions to more
convenient season.
At the beginning of the war
Federalism and Whiggery were
dead. Capitalization and class
legislation, tariffs transferring the
earnings of the people to the pock.
cts of favored few, had become
10 odious that no polit ician dared
to lift his voice in favor OF them.
There was no hint at this infamous
in the earlier platforms
Of the Republican'pa party, But the
opportunity afforded by the war
WAS gresdiIy embraced, The war

Every family should be provided
with some reliable remedy for
bowel complaints. The want of
such an article is the cause of much
suffering, especially during the
summer months. In almost every
neighborhood some one has died
with cramps or chelera morbus, be-
fore medicine could be procured or
a physician summoned. A fair
trial will satisfy you that Cham

x WIDE AWAKE.
A Visiting Editor Delighted
With Our Business and
Society Advantages.

From the Fayette Democrat.
While Mexico is famous for wide.
wake business men, classed as
me of the leading Missouri towns,
rom a business standpoint, 1t is
also noted for cultured gentlemen
and pretty and accomplished ladies.
The representative of the Demo-
crat had the pleasure of attending
a reception at the Ferris Grand, on
the evening of the Goth inst, ten
dered the society people of Mex
leo, by Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. White.
The occasion was indeed a brilliant
affair. The beautiful opera house
was deliberately decorated, and
some fifty gallants made happy by
the pretty faces and gorgeous CO.'S
tunes of as many fair ones, who
enjoyed games and refreshments,
and engaged in tripping the light
fantastic to their hearts content.
Mr.. White, the lndefatigable edi-
tor of the Mexico Daily and Weekly
LEDGER, famlliarly known as big
hearted, irrepressible Bob, has one
of the most intellectual, pleasant
and popular ladies of our acquaint-
ance for a wife, and none are more
highly esteemed by all who know
them than Mr.. and Mrs. r. M.
White. Representative society
people from neighboring cities were
present, all of whom, we dare say,
like the writer, wishes to return
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. White for
a delightful evening, as well as ex'
press appreciation of the many
courtesies extended by the society
people of Mexico.
