Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1895-06-27
During the crisis of 1884, far

During the crisis of 1884, far
seeing Republicans warned the leaders
of their party against the folly OF
trying to make political capital for
themselves by attributing the hard
times TO the fact :nat the Democrats
had secured control of the affairs of
government. Said Thomas Dolan, the
great Philadelphia manufacturer, him
self a strong Republican,:
III Republicans Insist that the present
depression Is duo 10 fear regarding the tariff,
when business becomes brighter tho Dem
ocrats Will claim MI the credit and assert
that better times are due to whatever chang
es IN tho tariff laws they may have enacted.
Tho welfare OF the country rests with the
people and there IL no occasion for us To lose
confidence In ourselves. look for complete
restoration OF confidence which will cause
tho tide of prosperity again to sweep over
the land"
Confidence has been restored The
dire predictions OF partisan Republi-
cans have not been fulfilled. The
repeal of the silver purchase clause Of
the Sherman law has given stability to
our currency; and the reduction of
burdensome tariff duties affords the
people some relief. There Is no
thought on the part of the people of
re.enacting Republican tariff or linan-
cial laws. However, with the revival
of our industries, and the increase Of
wages, comes the claim by Republican
leaders that 1t Is all due to the pros
poets Of u return of Republican gu
premacy. Let them 80 belive IL they
will. IL Is indeed well that their calam-
ity bowling is ut end. Confidence has
been restored in spite of them; and
let us devoutly thank God that the
prophets of evil are no longer heard
in the land. But let not Republicans
delude themselves with the idea that
a national victory Is within their easy
grasp. A great financial question,
which involves the honor and integrity
of our government, is before the
people. To what low estate has the
grand old republican party fallen
when 80 few Of It's champions dare to
take q stand upon this question? A
new issue is before the country, and to
the mind of The Democrat, the win
ming party will be the one which
fearlessly declares for honest money,
recognized as such by every nation
Of the world. The unlimited coin
age of silver by the United States
alone, ut u ratio of Is to |, when the
worlds established ratio Is about 80 to
|, would not only be blot upon our
national honor but would be suicidal
to our commercial interests. And
this Is the issue The question Is not
international bimetallism. Let not
any party that fears to face the issue
believe for n moment that the intelli-
gent voters of America are ready and
anxious to place the government in Its
control. A new era of prosperity has
dawned upon us; and the only way in
which we can continue to prosper Is by
dealing honestly with ourselves ana
with the world, in financial rs well as
all other matters. Attempting snap
game, by declaring nifty cents worth of
silver II dollar, to The Democrat, Is
neither good morality nor good states
manship.
