Obituary of the Republican Party.

! WRITTEN BY AN OLD TIME REPUBLICAN
Fer THE NATIONAL wATcHMAN.
On the 4th of March the Republican
party that has been in power for nearly
thirty years will step down and out, and
doubtless be relegated to oblivion IN the
near future. 1t was the product of the
exigencies of the times and at IFS inception
embodied the progressive elements of that
generation. 1t gathered under lis banners
the advocates Of an advancing civilization
| and counted among lis members many OF
the grandest men this country ever knew.
During its existence ii has achieved much
that is good and beneficial, but il also has
left record OF some of the blacklist crimes
against the past, present and future that
erattd tour millions of black slaves, but in
so doing fastened the shackels Of q worse
slavery upon sixty-Gge million of free
whites. 1t eliminated from our social
system chattel slavery where the chattel
was protected in infancy, worked during the
working age, aud, when old, cared for and
buried in decency. In its place it has
fastened upon the body polite system of
servtude that is reared God only knows
how, that is worked to the utmost limit OF
endurance, and when old and worn out,
sent to the poor house, or the poterfeld
with heartlessness that rivals the savage Of
bygone ages. 1t has made possible and
lostered monied aristocracy in our midst
that knows no law, recognizes no rights and
yields to no power that stands in the path
of its pu.ocratic ambition. 1t has changed
the whole tenor Of legislation, and made the
machinery Of a free government an engine
of oppression.
In fact the entire principles of government
have been perverted during its lease OF
authority and the rights Of the common
people, under false issues and false pre-
fences, have been taken from them. AS a
party it has been destroyed absolutely and
complete because of its in6delity to the
people Originally il embodied the read
ing, thinking, and acting portion of the
nation, and its power for good was only
limited by opportunity, Bat its leaders
were debauched, were LED astray by the
glitter and glamour OF wealth, and SC
manipulated political methods as TO make
money the only passport to official position
This degrading system became epidemic
and resulted in making the governing factors
of that party seething mass of political
corruption, which eliminated in the usual
manner, and killed the party. Now, all
that remains is a multitude of warning
factions, a host Of disappointed office holders
and the sad remembrance of past greatness.
lis last public act-an attempt to further
burden the people with bonded debt-will
curse its memory wherever labor bends its
back in toll Its disintegralion has alread Y
begun, and it will no doubt continue until
the plutocraiic portion Joins the party in
power, and the common people, so called
flee 10 the sheltering wings of the Peoples
party. That this must be the inevitable
result all who have studied the situation
we'll know. The existence of the Repub-
Iican party live in history az an example OF
what political party might have done for
poor down trodden humanity.

Cleveland Minority President.

When the election figures are care
fully examined the great Democratic
landslide the politicians filled the air
and their newspapers with didn't
happen. The land didn't slide or the
votes of the people on 1T to Mr..
Cleveland. In 1892 there were
Gil 1867 more votes were polled than
in 1888. And in 1892 Cleveland
received just $50 votes less than he
did 10 1873. La other words 6I7,955
more people voted against Grover
Cleveland in 1892 than did in 1888.
How is that? soTe one asks. Simply
this; the Populist ticket received
considerably over a million votes
that were counted. Their ticket
received many thousands more which
were not couned). The Prohibition
Cicket received 100000 which were
counted, and the social labor party
had a ticket in three or four of the
eastern states which polled over
$1,000 votes. Had General Weaver's
full vote been counted in the southern
states he would have taken enough
electoral votes from Cleveland to
have carried the election into the
House. 1t is shown by the returns
as far as they were made that Grover
Cleveland falls farther behind having
a majority vote than any President
ever elected; more than double that
of Hayes These cold figures show
more clearly than any other evidence
can that the people are up in revolt
AGAINST the old parties.

The Way Out.

Farmers organized are mighty
power, unorganized they are more
insignificant than despised mob in
the presence of a disciplined army
To organize for self protection is
necessary, to organize for aggressive
determined effort to wrest the sceptre
of supremacy from Incorporated trus,
monopolies is an imperative duty
Why organize ? The question among
farmers is no longer subject tol
Intelligent controversy. If the
Iarmer is to maintain his honorable
position among the various coudi.
tions of men that constitute tile
body polite, he must organize. There
is combination and unitcation by al
kindred interests. His fellow toilers
in every productive and manufactur
ing calling have long recognized the
necessity for the protection which
organization can alone secure agalus,
those who scheme to appropriate the
results of productive energy where
ever exersised. The advantages OF
organization are so obYiogs that il
must be admitted that the morgan
lied are seriously deficient in the
first essential to success, to wit
agreement and unity of action by
those whose interests are common
along definite and practical lines

Stop and Think.

If merchants would stop and in
vesfigate five minutes day, for ten
days, as to the cause of the present
low prices and how it affects them in
their business, there is not a mer-
chant in TIE country but what would
rise up and enter vigorous protest
against the powers that lie. If the
people did not have to pay annually
$500 100000 on watered railroad
stocks, and a more than useless ex-
penditure of 5000 100000 which
would be avoided if the roads were
in possession of the government, the
farmers would have more money to
spend with the northumberland
Ruralls.
