Let every American rememF

s Hancock-noue braver or truer ever drew
swords than these-and such eminent states
men IS Stephen A. Douglass, S. J. Randall,
and their illustrious compeers. No more
patriotic people ever liYed than the Demo-
Gratis who stood by the Union in the hour Of
her peril. 1t was not the doctrines of Thos.
Jefferson or Andrew Jackson that caused the
rebellion; but the doctrines of John c. Cal
bouu. who did it by his pernicious doc
triues-states rights, notification, secession,
states banks, etc" 1t was John c. Calhoun
who was the frst great opposer Of a tariff in
this country. It was this mans doctrines
that caused Andrew Jackson to call hpou the
soldiers to suppress the FIRST Democratic re-
bell;on. 1t was Calhoun's doctrines that
caused the dissensions that dominated free
speech not only in the country, but in the
Halls of Congress up until 1861. It was Cal
houn's doctrines that tried to establish slav-
erv all over this fair land, and the bloody
fields of Kansas we're the result The slave
holders rebellion was the fruits of Calhoun
ism. They cost more blood aud treasure
than any other doctrines ever promulgated
in any country. It cost billions ofdollars to
nut il down-not the sentiments of Jefferson
and Jackson.
The war debt caused by the Calhoun wing
of the Democratic party which dominated
everything, even denouncing the Democrats
of the North, calling them dough faces, '
! Is what caused the war debt, and to pay this
debt the tariff war created. By this tariff the
debt has been paid until we scarcely know
or feel that we haYe paid debt, and without
this tariff we never could have paid the debt
or the large amount that we have. To thii
end everv patriotic Democrat asseuted anC
voted: such men as Stephen A. Douglass
Allen G. Thurman, Samuel J. Tildeu, anC
Samuel !. Randall, did what they could Il
this end and purpose. Like statesmen ,they
saw the danger of the hour, aud the saliva
t;oD Of the country at stake. Do any SAINT
me,, denounce their acts With the wa
debt. or a portion of it yet hanging over us
we behold the hands on the dial-plate of pro
eress turned backward to Calhounism at th'
81 et.,k ...-,rs.afad Mr.
Cleveland last July, and their platform EN-
bodying the identical doctrines of Calhoun
wherein he denounced tariff as null an(
p,ofd and Unconstitutional. aud full dec
laratiou in favor of free trade-and the ma
tionaI banks assailed and condemned; whicl
is now the best banking system ever devised
BY man-the nation and government guar
auteeiug and backing every dollar of on
money-not only making it good in ever
state ofthe Union, but in every country al
over the world.
l am amazed and astonished at the Demo
Gratis of the North, that they should let Ih'
Southern Calhoun doctrine Democrats adopt
. such a platform. know that Mr.. German
of MARYLAND, disagreed with Mr.. Cleveland
and protested against his free trade theories
also David Bennett HILL of New York; bu
for some cause they allowed the Southeri
Democrats to prevail-and assert their old
time declaration of principles-which mean
free trade, absolute. Henry Watterson'
organ, and all the leading organs, echo thu
same sound, Free Trade aud Tariff is un
constitutional.
Well, if they should triumph at this elec
ton and repeal the tariff laws, then the peo
pie of this country would haye to pay th'
balance ofthe war debt and the expenses o
running this government by direct taxafion
The factories of this country would close VI
in less than one year. Free Trade woulC
pour in her pauper made goods from all thu
countries of ofEurope-sll the paupeT laborer
of India who get 20 cents per day, of Italy
Germany England and all Europe, whose OLE
} mills now stand idle, would commence to rul
on full time. This country never has wit
messed such period of stagnation. The gol'
and silver shat now loads our vaults by hun
. dreds Of tons, would soon be sent across til
ocean to pay for foreign made goods; on
: people, who operate the factories and hnt
employment therein would be idle. En-
glish ships would be increased in number t
] carry raw materials to their factories to b
: manufactured, and then reload and returi
them. Thus we would be compelled to pa,

our treasury.
4 This was all cured when the tariff wen

Take tin plate for one example. Prior t
