DON'T BE IMPATIENT.
The Democratic Par v Not TO he Blame
for fts Yerversitv

for It's Perversity.
o, well, don't be too exaeting as to
the Democratic party. Don't blame it
too much for opposing reciprocity and
solidly fighting it in the Senate and
House. Give the Democratic party
time. Give it twenty or twenty-five
years. Remember, the Democratic
party is always against every thing
that the Republican party proposes and
actually dOes-against it until it is
made a Success Remember that the
motto of the Democratic party is; You
can't do it," Remember that ID is this
fundamental purpose of the Democratic
party to believe that every thiEg is
'.unconstitutional" which the progress
sive elements of this Nation want 20
have done. Don't crowd the Democratic
party too much on this matter of rec
iprocity. Don't you know that it
would be a violation of It's most sa-
cred traditions not to denounce rec
iproeity IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL for
perieI Of years at least? Don't you
know that the Democratic party with
even Greater violence denounced as
Unconstitutional internal improve
ments and, in fact, every rsotable policy
that has helped 70 make this Nation
great? Let the Democratic party alone.
Only give IT time and it will yet be We
hemently declaring that it is for rec
iprocity. After the Republican party
has gone ahead and actually enacted
reciprocity, made it a success and car
ried out the courageous purpose
of those who believe that you
can do it''-aboGt that time you
will begin TO see Democratic
conventions hurrahing as Itistily for
reciprocity as the Iowa Democrats did
at Cedar Rapids for Grover Cleveland
and free silver. BE patient, fellow citi-
zens. You had TO wait years for the
Democratic party TO acknowledge the
constitutionality Of greenbacks, and to
forgive Lincoln and Grant. Give the
Democratic party a decade or two for
indOrsing reciprocity. The Endorsement
may not come before Cleveland has
been beaten another time or two, but
though slow it will be sure. Wren
under the Republican policy OF reci-
procity advantageous foreign markets
are opened one after another: when the
AOEcl1n tonuleFCe OI tue " ulLcu OLdNeSs
already vast, is vastly swelled; when
tens of millions of consumers in the
Spanish countries of this continent be-
come regular customers of the Western
farmer; when thereby American ship
ping receives most notable impulse
when these grand results begin TO be
apparent you will begin to see the DEM
ocratic party declaring for reciprocity,
notwithstanding it now saws you
can't do il" and that it is ''unconstitu-
! tional." That's the way the Democratic
party learns AL it really knows about
the constitutional the school of the
achievements of the Republican party.
And then, about the time the Demo
cratic party concludes to indorse reci-
procity, in view of the fact that it has
been done, it will be called upon to
buck" against some other new and
useful Republican policy required by
the progressive purposes of the Ameri-
can people. Sioux City Qa.I Journal
