The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-06-24

re imagined that the intelligent people
OF the country will for one moment
even consider the proposition to seek
relief ty returning the Democratic
party to power.
"But prosperity is coming. The
prices of commodities produced in the
United States from the tOpmOst item of
agriculture produ Is to the lowest item
of manufactured products are higher in
the markets of the world today than
when the Democratic party went out of
power by the blow that was dealt to it
in November last. Grant that the re.
turn to prosDerity is slow. 1t is coming
and every body knows it is, and that is
why the Democratic calamity howler
stands lpon the street corners and
breaches that McKinley's prosperity is
not coming. 1t is coming, and its
speed will be wonderfully accelerated
when Il Republican congress, over the
protest of Democratic minority, and
the howl of the mugwump and the ut
terances of the mugwump press, shall
have passed tariff bill under the
pledge OF the st. Louis convention.
"a monetary commission has been
appointed with view to negotiations
looking to securing i'm international
agreement, if possible, to settle this
question of the coinage OF the world.
"The American people sympathize
with the struggling masses of down.
trodden people i'll Cuba and no man Of
the Republican party feels more deeply
and sincerely sympathizes with them
than does the president of the United
| States, but he owes duty to the laws
and constitution of the country and
our treaties with foreign nations are a
part of the law, and so the president,
omitting no opportunity that could be
! justly reached and justly acted upon,
will not fail to respond to the cry of
relief from suffering Cubans, but he
will not plunge this country into war
until the means of peace and diplo-
macy have all failed to vindicate the
honor of the nation.
"Our friends far and wide are COM
planning of the famous prostitution of
the civil service law to the base ends Of
spoilsmen and the aggrandizent of par.
tisan purposes and criticism of the
present administration Is heard in the
land. While the orders of Grover
Cleveland, by which 10000 offices were
seized upon and appropriated under the
specious and false cry of civil service re-
form, stands unrevoked and unrepealed
by congress the president of the United
States must obey the law and enforce
its orders. That the earlier friends
of the civil service law are disgusteC
with it is evident upon every hand.
"Our Democratic friends are to holC
o convention in Ohio shortly and they
will proclaim their allegiance to the
doctrine of the free and Unlimited coin
age of silver. takiug their stand firmly
upon the foundation of 50.cent dOlla,
and the depreciation and degradation
of the coinage of the country. The peO
pie of this country are opposed to an
archy. They are opposed to the reigl
, of the commune. They believe IN Law
] and order. Let the Democratic part,
in its calamity -howling convention dar,
0 to endorse the Chicago heresy of an
archy and resistance of law and tht
l people of Ohio will win victory tina
/ will forever place Ohio in the from
5 rank of law abiding states.
r "The issues then upon which thi
s contest is to be fought are the issues o
r the platform formed at st. Louis Un
: der it we followed our magniticen
4 leader to a magnificent victory. Unde
it we are achieving the results whicl
Q we promised. By it we will stand o
r fall. BY it we will win victory or hon
{ orable defeat. Under its terms we vii
. challenge the world and under its term
. we will march to victory in November.
