ANNANIAs AND The GOVERNMENT MULE
JosephuS Daniels in his paper
claims that the Democratic party
would not have done as bad aS it did
if it had not been for the Peoples
party. In short he charges that the
Peoples party congressman prevent
ed the Democratic party from re-
deeming its pledges He charges
that the Peoples party is responsible
for Democratic failure and Demo
craft periidity. The following is
the editorial referred to:
The speech OF the Hon. Vim. Wilson
yesterday i'll accepting the denomination
for Congress made bold and vigorous
speech. Referring to the difficulty of pass
ing the bill through the Senate, he said that
the Democrats of the country have 5een
that despite nominal Democratic majority
III that body, the great trusts and mOnOpo-
lies were still able to write their taxes, as
they had done under Republican rule, in
some of its most important schedules >Ihe
burden upon you is the same whether they
use a Democratic or a Republican hand as
their amanuenis. But the wrong to you is
infinitely greater when those who bear the
commission of your own party thus prove
faithless to It's highest duties"
He places the responsibility where it
properly belongs. The people will rejoice
at the passage of the Senate bill because 1t is
better than the Mckinley bill but they will
correctly place the responsibility for not
passing a better bill on six Democrats, foul
Populists and all the Republicans"
1t takes combination of the char,
acteristic qualities of Annanias and
a government mule to make such a
statement.
If this statement were true il
would be an admission that the five
Peoples party Senators and nine
Peoples party congressman were
more powerful at Washington thar
the Democratic Senate, the Demo
cratic House and the Democratic
President with all their patronage
and prestage combined.
Let the country once put on guarC
a Peoples party Senate, People
party House, and Peoples Part,
President, and we defy the Demo
cratic party, the Republican part,
a.d "the world, the flesh and tn
flock and the devil'' all combined t,
prevent the Peoples party from re
pealing bad legislation and passin!
