vania, says:
The only conspicuous result of the
present Congress thus far is IN impress.
i've lesson given to the American peo-
pie that the Democratic party is unfit
to govern the Republic.
This statement is somewhat remark.
able, coming from a Democratic jour.
nal; but no candid and intelligent
Northern Democrat can deny that it is
absolutely true. The Democ ratio party
has never recovered, and IL is doutful
If it ever will recover, from the moral
and mental degradation inv red in its
long championship of human slavery.
When it capitulated Internationally
to the slsveholding igatchy it ceased
to be a great national party and de-
generated into sectional faction
whose strength chiefly lay in the par.
TALLY civilized South and in the wards
OF Northern cities where ignorance and
prejudice were most powerful. When
the Democratic leaders announced as
the cardinal tenets of their party the
doctrine that one man had a right to
own another, and the doctrine that
Americans should forever remain in
dustrially dependent upon Europe, they
arrayed against themselves the con-
science, the intellect and the patriot
ism of the nation and condemned the
Democracy to generation of merited
disgrace and disaster.
After third of century the Ameri.
can people once more intrusted tie
Democracy with power, only to dis.
cover the utter hopelessness of expect
ing patriotism or statesmalship from
politicians who represent the worst ele.
ments of Northern cities and the worst
bigotry of a section where free speech
is forbidden, where an honest ballot is
unknown, and where Republican Gov
ernment does not exist The men who
control the Democracy in Congress still
take their political economy from the
teachings of John G. CalhoIn and still
hold the theory that the mission of the
Democratic party is to oppre ess and i'm
poverish the North in the supposed in
terests of the South. The Wilson bill
is the most fiagrantly sectional tariff
measure ever brought before the peo-
pie. 1t is aimed directly st Northern
labor, Northern capital and Northern
prosperity. 1t is an attempt to take
revenge for Appomattox and to estab.
lish the economic doctrines of the
Southern Confederacy on the ruins of
American industry. 1t tpro7es that the
Democratic party can neither learn nor
forget. 1t reveals the fact that the
party has not changed in purposes or
principles since the time when it's most
influential portion had to be crushed
on the battlefield to prevent it from
destroying the Republic.
1t is no wonder that the intelligent
workingmen of the second state in the
Union overwhelmed the advocate of
this infamous bill by an adverse ma
jority of almost two hundred thousand
votes. 1t is no wonder that in every
industrial center of the Key Stone
State the wage earners who had been
humbugged into voting for Grover
Cleveland by lying promises of "better
times" repudiated the policy of pau
perism and the party of destructions
1t is no wonder that whenever they
might have an opportunity to reach
the ballot box the people Of the North,
whose interests have been betrayed,
whose industries have been Frustrated,
and whose homes have been made des-
Olate by the Wilson abomir alton, have
arisen in their might and condemned |
the party and the administr alton whose
rule has brought only poverty and
ruin.
The Democratic party ia as unfit 10
govern the Unitel States today as it
was in the days of Buchanan, when
the era of Democratic asce ndency cul.
minated in bankrupting the Treasury,
dishonoring the flag and dividing the
nation. 1t has had year of trial
and sentence has been passed upon it
by the tribunal whose verdict no earthly |
power can set aside. Next November
will see the election of House of Rep
resentatives that is over yhelmingly
Republican. In the meantime it is the
highest duty of every Republican Sen
ator to obey the mandate Of the people
by blocking the passage of the detesta.
