The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-07-25

Cleveland having trampled on the con-
stituton of the United States by sending
Federal troops into states without consul
alton or request from the respective COVER
norS thereof, for the purpose of enforcing
the assumption of legislative authority by
the Federal courts, in the interests of
corporate tyranny, and in disrespect of the
rights of the people to be heard in defense
of their wages, has now taken another step
in the interests of his masters, the corpora
tons, to place his foot little more firm on
the necks of the people by sending letter
under the cover of privacy to VIM. l.. Will
son, the (step father of the Wilson Bill"
to be read to the house of representative
the dictum of Growers subserviency to
arstocracy.
Grover leads off by telling the people,
through his friend Mr. Wilson, how much
he has longed for tariff reform, and how
often he has promised it's realization TO his
fellow cOuntrymen as result of their trust
and confidence in the Democratic party
He then informs us that honesty and good
faith and steady adherence to Democratic
principles are absolutely necessary to the
continuation of Democratic existence.
Having thus admitted that there has been
"a great deal of whipping and the Democ-
racy was about gone to the "demnition
bow-wowS, he proceeds to let us know
what he thinks is needed to brace up the
old dismantled craft that has only strength
enough left to support the name of De-
lnOcracy-tne principles having long since
found homes among the people under an
other name. The great remedy suggested
is to admit raw ma terial free. We wonder
what the meaning of this is; we know of
no such thing as material except what
nature furnishes spontaneously; every eX-
ertion of labor from the time the ground
is broken or the applied to the tree is a
part of the process of manufacture, and
how to fetch material into this country
passes our comprehension. Perhaps be has
some power of compelling nature to rain
raw material out of the clouds We have
heard of an ancient king that commanded
the waves to recede. History informs us
his kingship failed, but perhaps among re-
cent progress it may be possible for mod
ern tyrant, able to defy our constitutional
rights, to compel nature to do what to or
binary mortals seems impossible.
But although Cleveland may have relied
enough in his powers to defy the people
and think he can defeat nature, he is con-
sisent enough to look after the interest of
his patrons, the sugar trust, and defend
the incomes of his friends, the millionaires.
He says: II suggest that we ought not to
be driven away from the Democratic prin-
ciples and policy which lead to the taxation
of sugar, by the fear, quite likely eXaggera-
ted that in carrying out the principles
and policy, we may indirectly and inordi-
nately encourage combination of sugar
refining interests You know how
much 1 deprecated the Incorporation of the
income tax feature in the proposed bill"
Here we have Democratic principles, as
understood by the great-and thank Prov-
dence - only Grover Cleveland, pres
iden of the plutocracy of the
United States. Taxed sugar for the
the people want liberty and the power to
govern themselves they must look for it in
the Peoples Party, the only party retain
ing the principles of true democracy.
