is always asking of intelligent republic
cans or intelligent democrats. He is
always asking because he never gets an
answer. The reply leaves him in deeper
perplexity. After some months the truth
begins to dawn upon him. Neither
party has anything definite to say on
these issues neither party has any prin-
ciples, any distinctive tenets. Both have
traditions. Both claim to have tend
encies."
Where there is no difference there
should be no division. Upon one issue
the two parties are fairly divided. McKin-
leyism and tariff reduction is the national
difference between the republican and
democrat today.
1t will not be possible to unite either
party upon the silver question; and, in
broad terms, there are no other national
differences, except the wasteful legisa-
ton Of the republican party, especially in
the matter of pensions.
The intelligent voter will not be bound
very strongly to either party, if the plat
form is the usual Dolly Warden of prin-
ciples.
