The Globe-republican., 1892-09-02
'pire state, was found the man for the


emergency.
1t was not deemed expedient to swing
5 him with one whirl of mighty force from
the hangman's humble heritage TO the
dizzy heights of the presidential chair in
the greatest nation on earth. but the
) mayoralty of Buffalo and chief magi>-
: tracy of New York state We're used as the
stepping stones for the two greatest
powers on earth to accomplish their pur-
pose. 1t was indeed an herculean job.
and well nigh fell by the wayside. STRAIT
egy and Discrimination We're necessary.
Free trade was not permitted 10 crop ont.
ana tariff reform WAS explained To in
clude all necessary protection for home
Industries. while The anti-Silver scheme
was held in the most obscure back
ground.
After the citadel of our nation was cap
tured by these foreign manipulatOrs. Il
breathing spell was taken. while MIR. Cur
It's and other great free trade teachers did
their best to help the Golden club litera-

point of giving up the doctrine Of prOtec-
ton.
The secretary of the treasury SO man
aged his department is to hold silver
back and glut the vaults with silver dol
lars. But the people hung tenaciOusly
TO those TWO measures which had made
thi> the most prosperous nation in all
christenLom, and though message after
message was hurled al congress against
the continued compulsory coinage of
silver and an uumiStakablc manifesto
against protection. the republican SEN
ate chamber stood like a Lying wall
against the instrument of foreign innO-
walton. Even the democratic house.
though accepting the anti-protection
burden. could not be forced al. ut ouce
into doing away with silver coin.
One important point was gained by
the Golden Club. protection, en-
titled .tariff-for- revenue only" WAS |
bound on the back OF the democratic |
beast of burden. 1t became the Solemn |
duty Of every true and faithful demo-
cratic journal all over the land to cry
out against the tariff, and make the
masses believe it was Il tax upon them.
That home industries were their enc
mics, whom it was shame and dis
grace to protect.
The people were not convinced. how
ever, and the tignre-head of anti-siIver
and anti-protectiOn was retired from of
flee. Those mighty powers which had
placed him there were not greatly dis
turbed by this failure To elect their man
His messages and attitude had commit
ted the party almost irrevoe..bly against
protection. and. though he could not stop
the coinage of silver. his hackers have
kept him in line for continued nominal
ton by the democratic party.
Now he is again squarely before the
people on an :anti-prOtectiOn, anti-silver
record. the regular nominee of the great {
democratic party. while the peoples par {

cause by means of trying to throw the
election into the democratic house. Con-
sequentl the peoples party of Kansas
