Money Never wins real Victories.

This business of money in pol
tiles is not only un-Republican,
but I'M American. 1t appeals to
the sordid, mercenary spirit
which has no abiding place in
American character. What pub
lie achievement do we owe to
money? Did money give us
Washington or make possible the
splendid administration of JEFF
ferson, with the commemorative
he added to the Union? Did mon
ey create Quincy Adams, or turn
the country under the elder Har-
rison's lead from the evil ways
and somber days of jackson?
Did money make the enthu-
siasm which discovered Fremont
and gave us Lincoln? Did Grant
cost us a dollar? Take the various
annexations, the great measures
of internal improvements, the
founding of the West, the re-cre-
alton of the Spanish dominions,
and give them if you can a mon
ey value. Take the building of
the empire of the lakes which
concentrates at Chicago; the en-
pire of the Gulf with New Or
leans as its capital; the empire
of Eldorado, sitting queened and
crowned at the Golden Gate,
looking prone toward Asia; the
empire of the far Northwest with
undiscovered possibilities, and
we have a record of achieve
ments which have made America
illustrious even in this lustrous
century.
Not one of these memorable
deeds cost us politically a dollar.
The politics which inspired
them was based upon energy,
public spirit, patriotism. 1t was
never stained with a mercenary
thought. AS it was so it may be,
if Republicans will be true to
themselves and, retracing their
steps until they rediscover the
footprints of Lincoln and Grant,
resolve that upon money in poll
tics they will make the war that
was made on slavery. We should
not shrink from the issue. There
would be no defeat that would
not be richer in it's ultimate con-
than what the wealth
of the Indies could buy.
The wise Republican, in this
hour of calamity, is the one who
buckles on his Republicanism
the more tightly, even as an as
sured armor, and prepares for
battle with young men, new or
ganization, unselfish purpose!
We are beaten. That is sure.
To courage, defeat means an
incentive to drawer efforts. Wis
dom will teach us with patience,
fortitude and supreme resolution
putting aside whatever is seem
ingly wrong and accepting what
is right, to seek out the land
marks of the Lincoln days, and
follow them once more to victory
was never sought in
vain-when staunch to our prin-
ciples and true to ourselves.

If all the evils of Republican
rule the Democrats charge are
true,-if the country is burdened
with corruption, and the people
robbed by high prices and cheat
ed by low wages,-let the Dem
ocrats call an extra session of
Congress after March 4 and rem
edy these evils. 1t would be a
crime to let the country "groan"
in misery until Dec. 1898.

An oscillating washing machine has

Rivalry and jealousy had a
good deal to do with Republican

The Solid South-The Old Story

One was the solid South. From
the hour when Beauregard train
ed his guns on Sumter until the
poll closed last Tuesday the
South has been solid. Unbroken,
unpausing, unchecked by defeat,
this line has never yielded. Solid
against the military power of the
Union; solid against every prof
fer of charity from Lincoln or
magnanimity from Grant; solid
against every federal effort to
raise the negro and remove from
his soul the organisations of
slavery !; solid against Northern
capital, Northern enterprise, prof
fered Northern fraternity; solid
against Republicanlsm, even
when it meant the blessings of
peace and the fruits of greater
prosperity, regarding as social
outlaws whoever for a moment
held terms with Republicans.
The South-the Solid South
consistent, implacable, relentless
as firm in her purposes as when
she proclaimed the Montgomery
Constitution, has kept her line
and won. AT the North, always
two parties disputing for the SUI
premacy, with freedom of opin-
ion and of ballot; at the South,
only one party and no difference
of opinion tolerated, and no free
dom of ballot.
