cclipsed any similar effort in tho annals Of
Western Democracy. The Broadway Theatre

Boies OF Iowa, who spoke to the toast, Tho
Democracy in 1892"
Gov. Boies said. in part:
80 The Democracy In 1892 What will tho
people expect Of ita On what lines must its
battle be foughtp For what principles must 1t
stand to be worthy OF successp
Three years ago a Democratic President
aroused the country BY his declaration that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. and
by that declaration Incorporated into the
political creed Of his followers. as one Of its
cardinal principles. to remain. I hope for ever.
the doctrine that the riGhtful power Of this
Government to levy assessments. direct or in
direct. is limited to its necessities for revenue
alone.
This was no declaration Of hostility to the
manufacturing industries OF this country. It
was the assertion Of a principle that, put into
pr ctice. would give to them free raw material
that would stimulate the commerce OF the
nation and open to the products Of their mills
the markets OF the world-that would send the
American nag at the masthead Of our own
merchant marine into ports from which 1t has
been banished for a generation.
Upon one side is now arrayed the bene-
hciarles OF the war tariff laws. aided by allies
more powerful than themselves. In the shape
OF trusts and combines that those laws have
made possible and. so strengthened. they are
in charge OF the Republican party.
'They dictate its policy. they control It's ao-
tion. II they maintain their position It does
not follow that this nation as whole will cease
to grow rich. We shall still go on producing
wealth as we have done before. but q few will
control it. many will be poor.
Can we change these laws1 Can We divide
the mighty currents that are emptying the
wealth Of this nation into the hands OF a few
men and scatter their golden contents among
those who produce it2
This is tho supreme question Of the hour. In
the present status OF political parties there Is
no power on earth that can accomplish this
