S ntimen,al ideals Of the patriots OF l776
were not realized, even in the United
States, until more than century alter
its declaration; moi until the Democratic
party Of this country had denounced the
declaration OF universal human freedom
as untrue, impolitic and impractic-
able, anl had, almost as a unit
fought against its application to the gov
errment Of the United States. No greater
proof than this can be adduced OF the
truth that sentiment is in contradiction,
and opposition to fact in the realm OF
politics.
The fact here adduced Is not Incl
dental, but fundamental cannot be
eradicsted. Tie nations history proves
this. That history il tie record oi al

tion of people who have had no eNper-
ence in SELF government .his nation
\ becomes sponsors for them among the
nations Of the world, the Democratic
party is demanding for them what it
never admitted to be polite or practic-
able for the American people. Ignoring
the facts Of our own history which clear
ly proves that even the most favored
people evolve slowly out OF monarchial
methods OF government, and are even apt
to retrograde in that passage. the Demo-
cratic party is demanding policy OF
sentiment in contradiction to established
precedents. And because the Republican
: party holds to its beaten track in pursuit
OF the realization, for all people, of the
lofty ideals OF the Declaration OF Indie
pendence, it is accused OF treason to the
republic and OF plotting its ruin for the
establishment OF an empire.
