| interests of the masses
Bur this is a time when faith in our
| countrymen should be fully re-established.
! The noise of the recent political revolution
! is still heard through the land. The peo-
| pie have just demonstrated that there was
point beyond where they cannot be led
! by blind pariisanship, and that they are
quite competent 10 examine and correctly
decide political questions concerning their
rights and their welfare. They have ur-
! mercifully resented every attack upon true
American manhood, and have taught the
party leaders that, though slow to anger,
| they take terrible revenge when betrayed.
They permit Us to forgive our honored
guest Tor all the cheap coats he has ever
| worn, for they have declared them to be
in fashion. They have also decreed that
the decalogue has place in our politics,
for they have enforced the command
Thou shall not steal and have rendered
| emphatic verdict against those who have
borne false witness.
who can now doubt our countrymen's s
appreciation OF that trait so well illustrated
| in the character of Allen G. Thurman,
| which prompted him throughout his long
career, at all times and in all circum-
| stances, and without regard to personal
consequences, TO do things which his con-
science and judgment approved, and which
seemed TO him to be in the interests of his
country and in accordance with his Demo-
cratic faith?
''Our rejoicing and his are increased as
we also celebrate tonight the triumph of
tha Dam ny;p ai,,la fnr =
fought and fell but two short wears ago.
and to complete our JOY and his, we are
permitted TO indulge in true Democratic
enthusiasm over the steadfastness and de.
votion to its creed exhibited By our party,
| which, knowing no Encouragement, has
| fought to victory the peoples cause.
I'VE shall fail in the obligation to our
fellow countrymen if we stifie conscience
and duty by ignoble partisanship, but shall
| meet every patriotic expectation if we fol-
low the guidance of true and honest Dem
ocracy, illumined by the light of genuine
| American citizenship"
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY"
General Thomas Ewing responded to
"The Democratic Party In relation to
future public economy, in the course of
| his speech he said "Since the war the
great industries of the county have been
becoming concentrated in the hands of a
| few great corporations, created by the peo-
| pie and subject to their control. These
vast powers are rapidly multiplying the
| millionaires and destroying the industrial
| independence of the masses.
CAS- Democrats, in the broadest sense,
We must check this growing evil so far as
| the means lie within the legitimate powers
of the Government. Our taxation, local
| aud national, aggregates over eight hun
| dred millions per year. To put an enorm.
GUS tax burden on wealth instead of the
| labor of the country will tend strongly to
| the wholesome and just distribution of the
annual net increases which labor and CAPT
tai combined produce.
1--WE must go back to a rational tariff
| policy. The Republican party has enacted
tariff for protection only, leaving sixty
three millions of consumers to be plum
dered by protected manufacturers"
General Ewing further said that the
| Federal income and inheritance taxes
should be, and he believed will be, restored
by the Democracy. They should be i'm
posed in raising revenues by both State
| and Federal governments. Small incomes
| and inheritances shonld be wholly exempt,
and the tax should be graduated so as to
| increase with the amount of inheritance or
income. Railroad and municipal corpora
| tions, he said, should be regulated by the
States to rescue the masses from undue ex-
action.
