prevents that; and hence il may be
that the essential truth is suppressed,

us of the British restrictions OH the

Africa, as follows:

censorship had disarmed the cores

were confident that restrictions would
be removed when the contcndins ar

making US, really, n very prosperous
people, instead OF chiefly contributing
to the immense profits Of SPECTATORS,
stock and bond brokers, banks and
bankers. capitalists. transportation
companies. trusts, &c.,-what right or
reason is there for the Republican par
ty. or this administration, to claim the
merit OF producing these benefits?
There Is none at all: they were in po-
lftlcal power; but political power had
nothing to do with the crops, the gold
production. &c.,-no more than the fly
on the hub of the chariot-wheel had
to do with the progress Of that vehicle.
In SO far as this Republican party
has had to do with our material and
practical affairs, It has largely con-
tracted the currency, making a money
stringency in New York City and
money-famine in many rural districts;
1T has nurtured trusts and monopoles,
destroyed competition in large degree,
closed many factories and other enter
prises, and raised the prices on the
people for many things; it has created
q standing-army; it has begun @ war of
subjugation and conquest; and the i'm
perial spirit is inculcatcd in public af
fairs, at home and abroad. All OF our
prosperity is in spite OF the Republican
party and administration, which have
only brought Shame and loss upon us,
besides inauguratlng ideas and policies
that are In direct contravention of pop
ular liberty, rights and interests.
