Dear old Herald after a few weeks
silence we again come seeking admis-
sion into your valuable columns with
our little batch of clatter. in the year
1850 and 1861 the Democratic element
of this republic of ours broke ranks
and a war was the result but honor to
the brave and loyal Americans who
loved this and independent
Of ours, this southern element were
soon whipped back into line: but in
March 1898 this same Democratic ele-
ment took possession of our govern
ment and threw on the brakes and
have stopped every thing. the machin-
eryis clogged with old State Democratic
promises of about thirty three years
standing, of what they would do when
they got into power and if that hun
dreth part of those promises are car
ried into effect we will find that we are
only in the first stage of financial de-
preston which is all that can be heard
at this time, is hard times, no money,
what are we to do, Who is responsible
for this panic. The Democratic party
of course. If our people want to see
good times restored let them 60 to work
and organize and in 1894 elect o Repub-
lican Congress and in 1896 with our
National ticket headed by Mckinley
for protective tariff and we will sweep
the country with a tidal wave and
good and prosperous times would be
with us again, confidence would be re-
stored the thousands of rusty spindles
would be set in motion and new indus
tries would spring up all over the
south, and idle hands have employ
ment, won't these be a glorious time
then. Democrats are you willing to
lend a helping hand to bring about
this reformation or will you presist in
bringing oppression and poverty on
our people and nation. Will and
