Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1900-08-06
United States Must Remain True to Policy
OF Its Patroit Fathers.
Mastery Address Delivered by Charles
Chadman, Democratic Candidate For
Congress.

The battle wa sfought and the platform
that hedged won by small majority.
In 1892 Republican protection was
denounced as n fraud and a rob.
berry," and the Mckinley tariff STYLED
the eliminating atrocity of class leg
islation" by the Democratic platform.
Tariff for revenue was endorsed and
the Republican tariff robbers rebuked
at the polls.
In June, 1900, the Republican party.
which had been rebukcd by the people
in 1892 for class legislation and rob-
berry, and had resorted 20 deceit to
win in 1896, adopts the following re-
markable platform.
Looking forward into a great field
of duty and opportunity" it appeals to
the voters, and declares that "tIe ex.
pectatiou of the American people in
the Republican partyo has been met
and satisfied" That the Republican n
party promised four years ago ''to re-
store prosperity by means OF two leg
islative measures protective tariff
and law making gold the standard of
value"
"The people by great maiorities is
sued to the Republican party com
mission to enact these laws. This
commission has been executed. and the
Republican promise is redeemed"
There has been conducted and in
victory concluded a war for liberty and
human rights. No thought of national
aggrandizement tarnished the high MIR
pose with which American standards
were unfurled. ~ To 10000 900. of
the human race was given new
birth of freedom. (f54
I'VE indorse the administration of
Mckinley.
I'VE renew our allegiance to the
principle of the gold standard.
"We condemn all conspiracies and
combinations intended to restrict bus
mess, to create monopolies, to limit
production, or to control prices. and
favor such legislation as will effect
lively restrain and prevent all such
abuses"
But we renew our faith in the pro-
tective tariff. We favor q ship.subsldy
bill, etc.
at is the high duty of the govern
ment to maintain it's authority, to put
down armed insurrection and to con-
fer the blessings of liberty and civ
ilization upon all rescued peoples. The
largest measure of self-govcrnment
will be assured to Cuba, independ-
ence and self government"
Who are the men who are to carry
out these Republican pledges and de-
yellop their hidden meaning?
One of them is Teddy Roosevelt,
the apostle of civic righteousness, So
called, who single handed waving his
broad -brimmed sombroro, charged and
routed the Spanish In Cuba, but who
backed by the law and the people of
the S''at o'otV VI NcW iofh, cpuiu

whose rampant ambition for prefer
mcnt among the spoilsmen of his party,
led him to publicly encourage the
course of the murderous and usurping
in Kentucky, and to llkcn
the partisan, lmperlalstc Mckinley TO
the great American patriotic Lincoln.
But Roosevelt with all his wind, Is
simply an excresoence and the real
man of the Republican party through
whom the trusts and bosses viii work
out their interests aud perfect their
plans to loot the treasury, create a
great standing army TO menace the lib
erty of our citizens; establish depend
ent colonies, and coerce tribute from
the American people through the gov
,rnment protected and fostered monop-
