Eagle River Democrat. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1893-1896, 1896-07-06
REPuBLlcANIsM RERukED

The Democracy is the party Of the
people. It's purpose has ever been to
advance their interests. 1t may have
had its errors of representation and it's
sins of omission. But the sins Of COM
mission against the people Of this coun-
try have ever rested with the Republic
can party and with it's ancestors Of the
Know Nothing, Wing and Federalist
parties. During the ninety-six years
in the government Of this country, since
party lines have prevailed, Democracy
has been in control sixty years. They
have been years Of the fullest pros
perity. Business depression has come
il rare intervals and then from natural
and not from the government causes.
The depression that now prevails, how
ever, flows from the efforts Of the Nc
Kinleyites, partly successful, for max
ing the rich richer and the poor poorer
through the successful demands for a
tariff that could benefit corporations
and the manufacturers only.
1t is now sought to place at the head
Of this nation the tool Of the coal bar
ons, and of the iron kings, who dictated
the tariff of 1890 for their own personal
advantage and for the subjugation Of
labor In this brazen endeavor it is in
the logic of Republican consistency and
of supreme selfishness that for cap
tain in the Mckinley campaign such an
INSCRIPTIONS leader should be select
ed as shall be under the complete DOM
nation Of the iron nterests-Mark
Hanna, Of Cleveland.
Are the people ready for such sur
render? We can understand the feel
ing of unrest that prevails from causes
having their origin with the very lead
ers that are now rushing Mckinley to
the front. But the people will revolt
against therecurrenceo of the Mckinley,
the Carnegie, the Cameron, the Quay,
the Foraker, the Elkins, and the Platt
dictation that is intrenched behind the
movement to put another Ohio time
server in the Presidential chair.

He Has Spoken.

Soothed and sustained by the pres
ence and advice Of his hacker and train
er the oracle of Canton has at last Cpd
his ponderous jaws and emitted a
delphic utterance on the currency cues
ton 1t was when a delegation from
Evansville, Ind, with brass bands, tin
horns and other outward evidences Of
enthusi aSm had been admitted to the
shrine. When silence had been secured
Mr.. Hanna turned on the calcium light,
the apostle struck his right hand into
the bosom of his frock coat, rose upon
his toes, slowly settled back upon his
heels, cleared his throat and began to
open his mouth. The delegation stood
entranced. Mr.. Hanna turned on an
other limelight There was a raucous,
grating sound, a buzZing as Of concealed
machinery and then these never-to-be-
forgotten words:
my countrymen, there is another
thing the people are determined upon,
and that is that a full days work must
be paid in a full dollar"
That was all, but it was enough. The
oracular lips had been unseaied; the
dumb had spoken; the mandarin had
decreed that twelve should constitute a
uozen and that the multiplication table
was not inconsistent with republican
Institutions It was a day of sweetness
and light in Canton.
