on. We will take their citadel and
plant our banner upon their rampartf
in 1900. The hydra Organism, with
its monster heads, Tllmanism, which
Is but another name for sectionalism,
and Altgeldism, Pefferism, Debsism
and Henry G%eorgeism, must be forever
plotted out. This will be done when
our political battle of Armageddon /,
fought in 1900; when the Ormuzd OF
political and social righteousness shall
try final conclusions with the Ahrimar
OF revolution and destruction, The
forces that make up our highest civil
cation must triumph, or our republic
must perish as every other republi,
has persisted that has gone before.
They tell US this is a fight of the peo
pie for the return to the principles 81
Jeffersonian Democracy. Those cher
ished principles reached their culmins
ton in the doctrines of secession ant
notification in 1861 they were shot Il
death on the fields of our civil war be
tween 81 and '65. 1t is only latel,
that they have dared again to lift thei,
heads. As they were crushed thirty
five years ago beneath the heel of the
Union armies, so they will again BIZ
ground to dustby the tread of patriotic
millions in 1900.
They tell us also that this is a fight
for a return to the principles of Jack
sonlan Democracy. The doctrines OF
that species Of Democracy were an.
nounced by Qd Hickory himself: "To
the viotors belong the spoils," and
the trader on borrowed capital should
go bankrupt, These doctrines. too
have crumbled before the footsteps OF
our advancing civilization. The efforts
OF the Bryanites to resurrect them
have proven futile.
This revolution 80 called, became a
dynamic vitality, a concentrated en-.
etrgy on the Seventh of last July. II
mas been running rampant for months.
1t threatened to run away with the re-.
public, and would have done so if the
people had not headed it off on the
Third of November. 1t was wild with
the very spirit and essence of an i'm.
pious iconoclasm. Though sleeping
since the Third of November it ia still
alive. 1t will awake again in due
season, not with a giants strength to
do a giants work, as is 80 proudly
boosted, but weak and palsied. When
1t rises up and moves again, it will re.
verse the ordinary process of locomo.
ton incident to revolutions; it will be
going backward. II may look very
dangerous again, but the people need
not fear its ominous mien: il CAM
bite; its teeth have been pulled out
1t has been scratched into impatie nee
by the claws of the American Eagle
That proud bird, emblem Of our liber
ties, still scars above it, ready (,
scratch it to death when it becomes tot
rampant again.
Truly the great battle is is on.
Patriotism with prophetic a 4, and
with unlinching courage, hears tn,
thunders of distant battle. Old Glor,
faunts the breeze above the monster
front of revolution. The battlefield
shall be the great centres of American
enlightenment, freedom, life and civil
cation; our only weapons shall be the
free ballots of free men; our battle cry
shall be Wave the flag! Long live the
Republicl
The spirit of Jefferson and the
spirit OF Hamilton have warred with
each other for a hundred years. The
conflict between them is irrepressible.
They tend ever in opposite directions.
One is the spirit Of progress; the other
is the spirit Of retrogression. As thew
manifest themselves today, one is the
spirit of love, the other is the spirit OF
hate. Jeffersonian Democracy which
Is modern %Popocracy or Peffersonian
Democracy, sits in idleness at the street
corners, and scowls at Hamiltonian
Democracy as it rides by with happy
wife and rosy checked children. Ham.
iltonian Democracy which Is modern
Republicanism, builds school houses
and extends the confines of civilization.
Jeffersonian Democracy builds still.
houses and saloons and keeps them
going with its patronage. Hamiltonian
Democracy breaches the gospel of
peace and good will, liberty OF con-
science and political freedom. Jeffer.
sonian Democracy sits in the market
place and growls about the oppression
OF capital. Hamiltonian Democracy
sings songs of triumph. Jeffersonian
Democracy walls jeremiads. Hamilto.
MAN Democracy builds up; Jefferso.
nian Democracy tears down. Hamil-
tonlan Democracy goes forward; JEFF
fersonian Democracy goes backward.
hamiltonian Democracy means liberty
Jeffersonian Democracy means license.
Macauley said nearly fifty year ago
that civilization or liberty must perish
In this country. Not civilization or
liberty, but civilization or license must
perish. There can be no true civiliza.
ton without liberty; there can be no
liberty with license. Organism, Till.
manism, Altgeldism, Pefferism, Debs-
ism and Georgeism, In my opinion,
press the very verge of liberty. The
forces OF civilization must needs de.
stroy them, n and all, or be de.
stroyed by them. Civilization will
win the fight, and 1t will win 1t on
right lines. 1t would not have won a
fight like this in the early history OF
our country. True liberty and civil.
cation were not far enough along then
for the struggle. "Our ship OF State ID
stronger than all the winds that blow"
ohu Vno OomIHou bon66 OF most Will
hold our fretful realm in ave."
Prosperity is better than poverty;
love Ia stronger than hate. The forces
of light are stronger than the powers
of darkness. Patriotism always tri.
jumps over disorder and revolution.
