the farmer an independent aristocrat
The same objection has been made
TO every step OF human advance And
all these objections have eliminated
today in the declaration OF the Demo
cratic party. as the party OF destrue-
ton, that IL proposes war or an
Inhalation against this whole industrial
development. On the other hand. the
Republican party, as the party of con
struction. perceives that this great de
yelopment is merely another step IN
our advancing civilization. II per-
eeives that the elementary principles
of this advance are beneficial to all
mankind. But II perceives with just

Providing For Our Future.
How are we to get markets for our
| increasing surplus now and In the
future? How has England solved this
problem? By securing control of pos

ducts; by securing control of other pos
sessions which command markets for
her productions in territory not under
her control; by making her name, her
flag and her goods known among the
people whom she wants to consume her
products And thus. by broad policy
Of government England gives to her
merchants opportunities for their in
