Party's Shameful Record.

Founded on the wrong side of moral
and political ethics. it spent the first
sixty years of its existence along the
lines of ACKNOWLEDGMENT and mar
row partisan legislation. While pro-
Tossing in its platforms to be the
friend of the masses. it persistently
enacted laws which bound them to
penury and distress. While publicly
advocating broad, intelligent citizen
ship, it voted against individual free
dom. While beating the tom-toms for
prosperity to the people, it voted
against cheap postage. the Homestead
law, and the Resumption and Specie
Payment Claiming to be in favor of
. higher standard of living for the
workingman. it enacted free-trade
measures WHICH sent him into indef-
mite, enforced dleness. and reduced
him and his family to the level of the
pauper labor of Europe Processing
the utmost patriotism. it gave all pos
Sible aid to the rebellion.

Rapid Moral Decay.

During all these weighty history
making years, the Democratic party
was the willing accomplish of the
Southern Shareholder in his efforts to
perpetuate the institution Of human
slavery and to extend slave labor at
the expense of free labor. The sacri-
flee of principle necessitated by this
relationship led to rapid decay. The
party ceased to produce great leaders.
Men of conscience and courage, like
Thomas H. Benton, left it The sig
niflcance of this period is the illustra-
ton it gives of the disastrous results
of a betrayal of principles, to the NOR
ais, honor and usefulness of a party.
The people have not trusted the Demo-
cratic party since, except during The
two brief nightmares of the Cleve-
land administrations.

deprived Of its rightful influence over
government.
Partisans, Not Patriots.

The twenty years from the defeat
of Van Buren, in 1910 to the defeat OF
Douglas in 1860 brought additional
disaster. and odium upon Democratic
administration. The strength Of the
party has always rested in the Solid
South, and the uneducated riffraff of
our great cities. During the years
mentioned the Southern Democracy
pursued policy of territorial expan-
sion, not out of patriotic or broad mo-
tiyes, but for the sole purpose Of in
creasing the number of slave States
and thus preserve the sectional bal
ance in the Senate. These years are
memorable in history for the struggle
for territorial acquisition, the strug-
gle over the Wilmot Proviso, the Com
promise of 1850, the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, for the long agony
in Kansas, for the sensational bred
Scott decision, and for the reconstruct
ton of the party on strictly sectional
lines.

Founded on a Mistake.

Jefferson, its father, while man OF
deep learning, and consummate diplo-
macy, hated Washington, and early
opposed the cardinal principles of the
Federal Government. He organized
rEAs Democratic party to aid him in
This opposition. Washington and Ham
iifon wanted a strong protective gov
eminent. Jefferson wanted a weak
government that would govern the
least - FOUNDED on the idea Of re-
sentiment, resistance, negation, sub
version and an academic ana false
conception of personal privilege. the
party has quite naturally been for
ninst'a all sane measures directed to-
Z ward the healthy progress of the coun-
try and the real advancement of its
people. Being a party of opposition
and obstruction its policy has been TO
preach calamity and foster discomfort:
TO promise everything and actually do
nothing.

million dollars a day in the face of the
party's promise of better times. Each
day we lost half million dollars in
foreign trade. During that admins
tration the value of farm products de-
creased more than five hundred mil
lion dollars. Distrust and panic par
a1yzed the great Industrial system of
the country. Banks closed their
doors; business houses assigned; the
balance of trade was against us; cap
ital withdrew from the fields Of legit-
innate enterprise into secret places;
labor was forced into unwilling idle
ness; we had deserted mills, smoke
less factories, silent machinery. We
had tramps and beggars, industrial
armies, starving women and children.
Two million able-bodied men were
begging for work-the opportunity to
earn bread for their starving families.

Con gresham j. Adam Bede tells of
meeting typical member of the par
ty of promises and calamity howlers
The Democrat had just come out of a
saloon when hegtold Bede he had been
buying some lining for his under
clothes. In reply TO Bede's query as
TO how he was getting on, the unfortu-
mate disciple Of Jefferson answered:
That his horse went dead and his
mule went lame,
And lost six COWS in a poker game;
Then hurricane came on summers
day,
And blew the house where he lived,
3ss5ss IS away;
And an earthquake came when that
was gone,
And swallowed the land that the house
stood on,
Then the tax collector soon came
round NJ
And charged him up with the hole in
the ground
Bede said that his friend thought
That was carrying the single tax too

case and those of all chronic complain
ers and kickers you would find that,
out Of hundred of them, at least

Unworthy Existence.

This happened during the admins
tration of the Democratic party which
during fifty years has added nothing
To progress, nothing to the cause Of
liberty, nothing to freedom, nothing
to the glory of our common country.
This is the party that, no matter what
it promises, always goes into partner
ship with calamity. 1t feeds on dis
ID 10 aster and fattens on dispair. The
only time it has had control of this
country during this generation, it
shut the doors of industry and clothed
labor in rags. 1t fought under the dis
honored banner of free silver, it op-
posed keeping our flag in the Orient,
and advocated that it be lowered in
retreat and trailed in the dust of dis
honor. Such is part of the record of
the party Of calamity, professions and
promises-the oft-defeated, discour-
aged, disorganized, disgraced, divided,
decrepit old Democratic party. It
stands to-day without an issue, with
out principle, without a policy, with
out platform, without leader and
without hope. -

short on Performance.

s Democrats do not know the meaning
sof the word performance when ap-
piled to doing anything for the gener-
& al good, the advancement of the hui
man race, or the betterment of man
kind. AS a party it has been trying to
write it for more than full round
century, and yet it has not succeeded
IN forming the first letter. To do any
thing constructive or of permanent
benefit seems utterly beyond its NOR
al and physical conception, or physical
capacity to perform. It's normal atti-
Iude is with its face to the past and its
back to the future. 1t never sees an
