The Fifty-Sixth Congress.

The record of the fifty-sixth congress,
is completed, and it is not an enviablt
one. For extravaganza it has never beer
equaled, and no previous congress has
ever shown anything like the contempt
for American principles and traditions
The republican party in 1896 promised
international bimetallism and this con.
gress redeemed the promise by retiring
the greenbacks and giving the country
as large dose of the gold standard as Il
thought the patient was able to bear.
1t has fastened large army upon the
United States-an army larger than the
president would have been willing to de-
fend during the late campaign.
1t has violated the solemn promise
made to Cuba and demanded a SUPER
vision of Cuban affairs which amount to
denial of independence.
1t has conferred upon the president
authority over the Philippines as un-
limited, as arbitrary and as tyrannical
as George III ever exercised over the
colonists.
In addition to its sins of commission it
has sins of omission to answer for.
1t has failed to respond to the demand
of the wage-earners for relief in the way
of shorter hours and it has neglected to
abolish government by injunction.
1t has refused to give the people any
relief from extortionate railroad rates
and has declined to enact antitrust legis.
lation, although billion dollar trust
was organized while it was in session.
1t has repudiated the party's promise
in regard to the inter-oceanic canal For
years the republicans advocated the
Nicaragua canal; in 1900 they substi-
tuted an endorsement of an 1sthmian
cai1af, but the trans-continental railroad
lines have sufficient influence with the
republican party to prevent its carrying
out any canal project.
1t has failed to recognize the desire of
the people for election of senators by a
popular vote; and it would have COM
mitted the country to the infamous ship
subsidy legislation but for the flibuster-
ing resorted to by the democrats, popu-
lists and silver republicans. A fifty
million dollars river and harbor bill was
also defeated by few filibusters led by
Senator Carter, of Montana.
This is the record-not all of it, but
enough Of it. These things are known
to the reading public and yet republican
farmers continue to vote the republican
ticket, republican laboring men continue
to defend their party and republican
business men raise no protest against
what is going on. Great corporate in
terests furnish campaign funds, dictate
platforms, make nominations and domi-
nate administrations. To what extreme
can the republican leaders go before
they provoke remonstrance and repudi-
