The'bark was still there but the waters were

No, the planters were gone. The glo,
rioHs bark of Democracy is still there but
the dissatisfied planters have sadly de
parted. They stepped from the strong
bounding vessel that had afforded them
shelter and protection when surging bill
lows rolled the highest, to the disioiuted
worn ont raft of Republicanism.
Let us see whether the ship (perhaps

iDgs or not. Let us see if it did not leave
on scheduled time and if it is not heading
in a bee line for the same port that it
headed for when jefferson, Madison.
Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren,, Pierce and
Buchanan We're its pilots.
The Democratic party came into exis-
tence in 1892 under the brilliant leader
ship of Jefferson. Owing to the excuses
OF the Jacohins, or radical democrats cf
the French,revolution there was something
about the name democrat" that the adj
herents of the party did not like so they
called their party the Democratic Repub.
lican party. Later on the name of Demo.
cratic was dropped and the party was
known as the Republican party until the
time Of Andrew Jackson when it took the
name of Democrat.
The first platform called for a ''rlgor-
ously frugal administration of the govern
ment, and revenue should be raised ONLY
for necessary expenses, that labor may be
lightly burdened."
After jefferson had served two terms
james Madison was elected President and
the same platform adopted.
So vigorously did Monroe follow the
policy laid down in the platforms of his
predecessors that according to Benton the
expenses OF the government did not ex.
coed nine millions dollars a year.
There were four candidates in the field
at the next election, John Quincy Adams,
Andrew jackson, William Harris Craw-
ford and Henry Clay. All of the candi-
dates belonged to the same party, then,
and Clay's faction was known as the
"lOOse-constructiOnists Republicans."
Adams wac declared elected by the Honse
Of Representatives but as he was a ~'loose-
cOnstructioniSt' at heart and afterwards
defeated as a candidate for the prcsiden-
cy on the National Republican ticket The
COURIER will not regard him as a Demo
cratic president.
Andrew jackson was the next Demo /.
cratic president and was elected on Il
platform with a tariff for revenue plank
in it. He was opposed by the "loose-cou-
structionist" wing which fer the first time
took the name of National Republican
The National Republicans favored a pro-
tective tariff on Eastern articles and was
formed by followers of the disbanded
Federalist party.
The Democratic platform of 1886, when
Van Buren, was elected President, pro,
Gained Rigid economy the duty of the
government, and revenue should be raised
only for necessary expenses"
These same words we're used in the
