OF JUNIUs.
Looking back no further than March
1, 1898, see magnificent, political
triumphal procession, with plumes
and bayOnets and brass guns sweeping
up Pennsylvania avenue to the inspir-
ing notes of hundred bands Of music.
Grover Cleveland is there at the head.
The Democratic host is
DELIRIoUs WITH JOY,
because they know by keeping the
promises Of the party to the people,
and by fidelity to Jeffersonian princi-
Piles, prosperity will come to every
home, and the lease Of power given
the Democratic party will be absolutely
without limit.
Looking again only two years and
half afterwards, We find that the
country has passed through a terrific
panic, that commerce, the manufacture
ing industries, the OttOn and wheat
fields OF the South and West, and al
most every other profession and voca-
ton, have been
DEsOLATED BY FINANCIAL CYCLONE.
and that despair is written upon the
faces Of Democrats from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf, and from ocean To
ocean.
And / ask why is all this, and 10,
lind the answer i'm the words of Junius
THE ruin or prosperity of a country de-
ponds SO much upon the administration of
its government, that to he acquainted with
its merits, We need only observe the condi-
ton OF the people. If We see them obeii-
ent TO the laws, prosperous i'm their indus

we may reasonably presume that their af.
fairs are conducted by men of experience.
ability and virtue.
III on the contrary We see a universal
spirit OF distrust and dissatisfaction. A rap;d
decay of trade, and dissensions in all parts
OF the empire, We may pronounce without
hesltaIion That the government of that
country Is weak, distracted and corrupt"
There never was an instance of such
a change in the circumstances and
temper of whole nation as we see AT
present.
What has let loose these powers of
dlscord and flung this black eclipse
upon the glory OF the mighty, tri-
umphant, bOastful Democratic party.
what has wrapped our cities in the
names Of Strikes" threatened our
social structure, hushed the wheels Of
factories, stricken our fields rs with q
blight, thrown our financial system
into chaos, and
TRAILED THE STARS AND STRIPES

Oh! that the shade of Thomas JEFF
1erson might have arisen and driven
OUT the members of the Fifty-third
congress. even as Cromwell dispersed
