cred them
WITH EVERLASTING DISGRACE?
Is there any sign that they will re-
formi
None.
There was still some patriotism
Democrats in 1850. April 5.
1850, Gen. Weaver got a vote on his
resolution to have the minis EN-
ployed to their full capacity to coin
silver dollars to pay off the bonds at
once. Randall, tho Democratic
speaker and leader, had put off the
vote from week to week, knowing
that if his party in the House were
permitted to vote on it
THEY WOULD VOTE "WRONG.'
Garfield blazed away against the
resolution on April 5, and Judge
Kelley and Weaver spoke for it.
When the vote was taken it was
found that - Democrats and only
two Republicans, with 10 Green
hackers were for the resolution;
while SS Republicans and 30 Eastern
Democrats opposed it.
Space permits only brief review
of
THE UTTER DEMORALIzATION
of the Democratic party since Cleve-
land came on deck in 1884. Fools
could not see and knaves denied
that the panic of that year was con
fined to Wall street by the fact that
we had 400 millions Of silver cur
rency. Already coached by Wall
street through Bendict, Cleveland,
by Feb. 5, 1855. was weeping and
tearing his HAIR in letter to "A. J.
Warner and Others" about the hon
est gold dollar leaving the country.
In July of that year the bankers
had poor little Manning so scared
that he bought millions of gold with
his silver, and got up that teapot
tempest called
| MANNING'S PANIC.
BY 1887 the delugo of trusts was
fully on.
In 1888 the crafty Republican
got Harrison in, and Sherman laiC
all these chestnuts on the fire which
he has had Cats-p'.w Cleveland pull
ing off since 1892. The champion
bunco steerer, he has also by riding
the decoy elephant, Cleveland, emit
ced all these wild Democratic ele
plants into the goldbug corral.
In 1892 81 Democratic State con
ventions
DECLARED FOR FREE SILVER,
and thus got Cleveland in again. l
is curious to see what Harter, o
Ohio, said then of the way the silver
ties were beaten. He gave severa
causes:
|, The Democratic minority il
Congress proved very strong.
=. The sound money Republican
were guests.
3. "Quiet sympathy for homes
money" [plus post offices was show
l by unfortunate Democrats who ha
been sworn in for silver at home.
4. The editors and correspondent
of most of the big papers did spler
did work.
! 5. The entire German press, nc
J &c that sweet old story.
6. The G. A. Il. "fought nobly
7. The business public and tt

thus.
/ What wonder that in 1898, with
