ty, for the vaiUly imagined benefit OF

ests. when they call that, degenerate
party, because it favors the currency
that was provided for by the Constitu-
ton and YVES endorsed by Jefferson,
Jackson, Calhoun, Benton AID all the
other real leaders of democracy, and
because it denounces arbitrary interior
euce by the federal judiciary with the
affairs of the separate States. There
are degenerate democrats, but the Chief

paraded by the imperialists as conciu-
slve evidence To this country is not
only world power but that it has
more mouey than it has any use for al
home. That it is rot "wOrld power"
is proved by the fact that Englsnd
pulls down its flag over large part Of
the most valuable territory Of Alaska
and raises the British flag in it's stead
and that Russia having gained all she
wanted by means o its assistance, now
practically tells it to 20 about its bust
