ON RECORD.
"In combination of these and all
future calumnies, by way of anticipa-
ton, / shall make to you profession
Of my political faith, in confidence
that you will consider every imputa-
ton on me, If Of a contrary complex
ion, as bearing on its front the mark
of falsehood and calumny. II. / am
for free commerce with all nations.p
Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry.
"We denounce Republican protec-
tion as fraud, taxing the labor of the
great majority for the few. We declare
it to be fundamental principle Of the
Democratic party that the Federal
Government has no right to impose
and collect tariff duties except for the
purpose of revenue only, and we de-
mand that the collection of such taxes
shall be limited to the necessities of
the Government when honestly and
economically administered" - Ma
tionI Democratic Platform.
"If am to name the typical Ameri-
can, the man who loves and believes
in his country beyond everything else
the man who, determining once in
what direction his duty leads, cannot
be swerved from the path the man
who is doggedly persistent in what he
believes to de right--the man who
thinks not of self, but Of his country
and its needs, I would name Grover
Cleveland. What be has accomplish
ed is the very highest tribute to the
possibilities of American citizenship.
= Chaancey Deepen, Republican.
"Our workingmen are still told the
tale, oft repeated. in spite of its de-
falsity, that the existing
prote ctive tariff is a boon to them, and
that under it's beneficient operation
wages must increase, while as they lis
tened scenes are enacted in the very
abiding place of high protection that
mock the hopes of toll and attest the
tender mercy the workingmen receive
from those rendered selfish and sordid
by unjust governmental favoritism.
- Grover Cleveland.
~ am sorry, indeed, to hear Of any
Alliance Democrat going in
to third party, for it means, to my
mind, ruin to the South, turning our
over again to Republican
rule, and hope before the final step is
taken our brethren will reconsider and
think what the result will be and
where it will evidently lead to--ruin,
ruin, ruin. - Governor Buchanan last
ApTH.
~ don't give rebels in the South
vouchers. / would rather furnish rope
to hang every DIN one of them. -
Gen. Weaver, Peoples party nominee
for President.
81 am inclined to think that there
will eventually come in this country
dictatorship. There is growing de-
mand for a strong government that
will be able to protect all of its citi-
zens, rich and poor, white and black
alike am working with the Repub-
lican party because / believe 1t is the
best Instrument to secure this condi-
ton of Justice to all. In fact there is
nothing better for us."-Fred Doug
Ass.
~ have read that bill with care and
attention more than twenty times. 1
nave read it in the light of calm con-
sideration. And l repeat that If it
we're presented to me now with the
Of party support or party
dismissal / should notvo for the bill.
A more infamous bill, in my judg-
nent, never passed the threshold of
he doors of the Senate. Avowedly in
he interest of good government, it
vas instigated, in my judgment, by
men whose interest it was to prevent
. full expression OF the will of voters
It the polls.n-Renyy IA. Teller, Re
publican Senator from Colorado, on The |
Force bill.
"Put none but Democrats on guard.n
