This Is an important question in the
moral ethics of politics in this country
and especially appeals to the righteous
and statesmanlike sense Of republicans

national history.
Many republicans are asking for an

Of the protective tariffs made in fulfilment
OF republican platforms Of he past. These
republicans evidently b"ilAve that with

party to change its avowcd purposes and
policy in the Philippines, declaring it un-
American and violative Of the fundamen-

the party.
A Demand on the Democracy.
Also, and on the other hand. the re-
publican leaders have the way of as-
sorting the eternal persistence of plat

instance they are now, in their news
papers and on their platform, denounc-
ing the agitation of the legislative repeal
or judicial testing Of the validity Of the
fifteenth amendment. when discussed by
any democrat, as a violation of the
pledges Of the democracy in 1875. In that
year the democratic platform Confined

The Amendment That Failed.
The expiring congress of the Buchanan
regime on March 2, 1861. two days
before the inauguration Of Abraham Lin
ccln adopted an amendment, to be known
as "the thirteenth amendment" to the
! constitution. 1t was certified to the sew
eral states and read as follows:
article 49, No amendment shall be
made to the constitution which Will au-
thorize or give to congress the power to
abolish or interfere within any state with
the domestic institutions thereof. incluo-
ing that of persons held to labor or SER
, vice py the laws OF said state.

Could He Have Carried?
In the presidential election Of 1860
Lincoln obtained the presidency by the
electoral votes of fifteen states, in which
he obtained republican nlajorities, two
democratic states that gave him plural
tiles and one that switched its vote from
Douglas to Lincoln.
Yet OF the thirty-three states then
composing the union, nineteen OF them
were democratic in their politics, leaN-
inc only fourteen states that could be
called republican; in fact, two OF these

Democratic status i'm 1856 and gave LIN

What Would Have ResuitedP
Had the south chosen to make her

adopted. the chief ends of Lincoln and
