HON. Is. III. BUM ON THE
FORCE BILL SCARE.
"A Threat Of the New York Democ-
racy."
Continued from last Week.
WEEKLY, OCT. II, 1891.
Nearly year has passed sin ce the
free coinage bill passed the Senate.
Is the Democratic party standing
by its principles? What means
this effort to change front on the
silver question? What does it mean
for men who denounced Cleveland
for his opposition to silver last win
ter to be falling upon their knees
before him now? Has he modified
his views? What means this flop
ping over? What kind of party
is it that favors free coinage in the
winter and oppose it in the fall /?
The people have right TO know
whether the Democracy can be re
lied upon to keep its promises. If
it will stultify itself upon silver at
the behes: of Wall street, what as
surance have the people that 1t will
not play the traitor on the tariff
question should Wall street demand
it? The nomination of Mr..
Cleveland would be q clear confess
sion that the Democratic party is
party of expediency. He is not a
Democrat, and the only excuse for
nominating him is that he can carry
New YORK. And pray why can he
carry New York? If at all, because
he represents the tariff views of New
England and the financial ideas of
Wall street. He is a monometalist
aud an enemy Of the Industrial de-
velopment of the South. The tariff
reform of which he howls means
free raw materials for New England
manufacturers and keeping the
South at the bottom of the industrial
ladder for all tilne, while the honest
money about which he prates Is the
kind that finds its way to Wall
street as naturally as water seeks its
level. He proposes to rule
or ruin. 81 have made the ISSUE"

WEBsTER's WEEKLY, Nov. "a, 1891.
Mr.. Cleveland is a gold standard
man. He would denonetize silver
if he had the power. His record
proves this fact. Time, which
proves all things, has shown the
falsity of his position.
AS to our tariff views. they are the
same they have always been. JEFF
ferson, Madison and the Democratic
fathers taught what we believe
We prefer to follow their teachings
TO those of Cleveland and the latter
day saints. A tariff for revenue
with incidental protection, is time
honored Democratic doctrine, anC
if it be treason to advocate it, We
are ready to receive punishment
New England has lived upon th'
folly of the South long enough
Under present conditions she mus
soon give up the fight, for the Souti
can drive her to the wall. Free raw
material is her only hope. Civ
her this and she can hold the South
nose to the grindstone fifty year
longer, When Wer,
goods ever as cheap as now? Blu
where is the money to buy them
Financial reform is paramount t.
tariff reform. Cheap goods are yer.
dear if you have nothing to bu.
them with. So reason the peopl
and they are right. Rubbing beef
steak on a hungry mans stomac
| will not satisfy his hunger; neithe
will cheap goods satisfy the ma
who hasn't a cent to pay for then
II The people do not wan
any mole Ulevelandism. They ar
sick and tired of it.

Mr.. Cleveland's opponents in tn
South are not the politicians, th
| place-hunters, etc.; on the contrary
they are the honest yeomaDry, tf
laboring people, who want no offic,
to whom Democracy means mo-
than gauging-rod or postmaste
r ship. Who are his supporters, b'
r the politicians and those who ina
l. inc him to be the only man who c.
u be elected the people don't wal
q him. - Mr.. Cleveland Is n
,s a democrst: He is a Mugwump,
{ Pharisee, and "holier than thou"
q characteristic Of all his polite
acts. He is not man of the pc
pie; cold, unresponsive, devoid
sympathy He is not the right M
- for President. The masses q
" Iagainst him.
