ness of duty done. Those, however,
who are willing to suspend their prin-
ciples in the hope of securing political
success have little to console them
when a reverse comes. If man bar
ters his convictions for a promise of
success, and then loses, he has nothing
left; If man keeps his convictions
with him he has foundation upon
which to build in future contests.
1T would seem that Republican pol
icies ought to arouse overwhelming
opposition among the wealth pro-
ducers of the Country for surely no
man who earns his living can point
to any advantage which the Republi-
can party brings or can bring to the
masses of the people. In the bank,
control of our currency, in the mo-
nopolistic control of our industries
and In an imperial policy for the coun-
try there is danger and disaster for
a large majority Of the people. But
they evidently fail to appreciate the
viciousness of the principles which
are at work.
The only lesson that can be drawn
from the election returns is that still
more work is necessary. The Let
well enough alone argument cannot
always prevail. for bad principles will
ultimately bring about bad times, and
experience. costly experience, will
teach those who refuse to foresee evil
and provide against it,
