AIMS, PROMISES AND METHODS OF REPUB.
\ LIcAN LEGISLATION.
Free government cannot long endure
except under Democratic influence. The
Republican party, II Il ever honestly pos.
sessed. has long since abandoned Demo-
cratic ideas, and stands to-day the expo-
ncnt OF every heresy which threatens
the destruction Of popular institutions.
Il 10 the avowed friend and supporter OF
. policy which has Impoverished and
ensIaved the mssses and enthroned the
classes. Ita Representatives, BY class
legislation. have 90 corrupted the very
fou ntains Of free Institutions, that large
bodv Of our people are demanding that
the chsins Of paternal government he se-
cureiy riveted upon their arms, In the
insane belief that under national control
they will escape the dreadful oppression
Of centralized wealth. In their despera-
ton 20 perpetuate their party in power
they have again and again, and each
time with greaier violence than before.
assaulted the reserved sovereignty Of the
States and Of the people. They boldly
announce that the masses are no longer
1T to be trustsd with the control and
man uagement OF their own elections, and
that in the keeping and custody of ire
sponsible and corrupt federal sppointees
the right and franchises of the people
should he permanently lodged. Their
bossted friendship for the agricultural
industry has only resulted In greater de-
precision. and their pretended efforts 10
ben at Tho wage workers OF the country, ,
only in bringing to our shores thousanda
OF poor and ignorant labosers 70 COM
pete in the mines and in the factories al
lower wages. With such q record Il isl
ONLY surprisinR that the wrath OF the
people was not sufficiently excited toI
chastise them beyond recognition before
the last election. The record Of the Re-
publican party II one Of hypocriticalI
professions and broken promises. Il re-
turned 10 power moro than two years
ago, occurring full control Of every de-
psrtment OF the government, promising
to restore silver to Ia use ~ money. but, I
at the 6rst opporsun degraded Il 10
the level Of commodity. The civil ser-
vice law was 10 be faith fully admins
tered. and yet one Of the first acts OF
lie cfdcials was 10 declare On important
bureau, clearly within its spirit, outside
Of its limits, and TO I'll lie ranks with

lissn interests. It professed On inien-
lion 20 bring those branches or the pub 4
lie service outside, within tbe control OF
