NOVEMBER 10. 1904.

as in the case of Seymour, saw to it
that the party was defeated twice. It's
last act was the most infamous of all,
when after fighting the gold standard,
or pretending to do SO, for eight years
it turned right around and made it's
defense the issue Of the campaign.
There was not leader in the whole
party who had manhood enough to de-
nounce the Infamous action and come
out and fight it. They, one and all,
from the least to the greatest, sup
ported the gold standard or at most
kept quiet.
BY these transactions the democratic
party has acquired character for in
fanny never equalled before by any
party. 1t has betrayed and fought its
own candidates. it has repudiated its
platforms. it has changed it's public
declarations of principles time and
again and been guilty of every infa-
nous and silly thing that<a party could
could be guilty Of. By common con-
sent the party is universally represent
ed by a donkey. 1t is the fittest emblem
ever attached to party name.
In fifty years the party has acquired
a character for betrayal of principles
and for general infamy. That character
will stick to it as long as the party
endures. The man who hopes to give
it a new character. to blot out from
the memory Of men the foul and in
famous record that it has made, to
clOthe it in the robes of patriotism
and honor. must found his faith on
dreams and nightmares. No such idea
would ever be entertained by any well
ordered brain.
When the legislation that has been
enacted in the last ten years. tend
ing to make it almost impossible for
any new party to get on the ballot in
the various states is taken into con-
sheraton. it will be seen that any re-
form that can be accomplished during
this generation must come through the
peoples party, which. after sacrifices
never e1ua1led IS any party, has at
last obtained a place on the Sallot IN
all states except three. It wiuld lake
ten years to get ar new party into
the advantageous position that the
peoples party now holds. The peoples
party must fight the battle for this
! generation or it will will not be fought
at all.

The Republican Party

The republican party has thor
Oughly established character. 1t stands
for the rich, the accumulation of cap
ital in few hands, for the domination
of the great corporations and financial
syndicates, for the banking and money
power interests. for new interpre-
tation Of the constitution by which
the courts read into it. the power to
govern by force and imprison men in
these United States without trial by
jury. It is slowly but surely re-estab-
fishing the conditions of the old world
on this new continent which was dedi-
csted by our forefathers to liberty,
equality and equal opportunity for all
men.
We say slowly yet as to the life
time of nations, in very rapid way,
it. has by its policies changed all Of
the underlying principles of this gov
eminent as laid down by Jefferson,
Jackson and Lincoln. Under its pol
icies the accumulation of wealth IN
few hands has exceeded that Of any
nation in all history. 1t gathers into
TIC ~naffers of the few all the increase
of wealth tlacc-seames from education,
science and invention. Fl has now
arrived at the condition where COM
pound interest is counted against the
people-a condition noted by some Of
the economists which always precedes
tn, downfall of nation. Rockefeller
compounds at least forty millions Of
his annual income. which is credited
by all the financial papers at forty
eight millions. Let anyone sit down
and figure what that will amount to in
ten years at five per cent interest,
compounded quarterly-Standard Oil
dividends are paid quarterly-and he
will see that it will not require many
years for Rockefeller to own the
whole United States. But Rockefeller
is not the only magnate who is COM
nounding his income. What does It
mean? 1t means that republican pol
icies can not long continue. In the
very nature Of things such policies
mean the destruction Of the nation.
1t mas not been many years since
Charles Dickens declared that pau
DER was unknown in any of our great
American cities. Under republican
policies. every eleemosynary institu-
ton in the eastern states is crowded
to the doors and the streets of the
cities are lined with starving men
They freeze to death on the streets
and in cold halls Of the cities every
winter in large numbers, while men

A False Claim


The republicans are claiming that
Roosevelt's tremendous majorities
mean an endorsement of republican
policies. But such conclusion has
no basis in fact The voters did not
intend it as an endorsement OF the
policies that have given us the trusts,
corporate domination of every legis-
lative body down to city councils, it
was not an endorsement OF the de-
struction of competition and the crush
ing out all small business, it was not
an endorsement of government by
force, the adjustment of trial by jury
or any thing of that sort. Votes were
given to Roosevelt by the hundred
thousand as protest against the dam
nable infamy of the democratic party.
The people were determined to tram
pie the democratic party so deep into
the earth that the nation would be
forever rid of it's putrid presence. JEFF
fersonian democrats by the tens and
hundreds of thousands, whether here
tofore known as populists or Bryan
democrats, put their votes where they
thought they would have the greatest
effect as rebuke to the infamy OF the
democratic party. If they thought that
lit made the rebuke more singing by
voting for Roosevelt, they did it. Ii
they thought they added to its eff
fectiveness by voting for Watson they
did that.
&S&S&&&
Rodgers, Stillman and one or two
others of the Wall street crowd had
conference with Roosevelt. Two or
three days afterward, Dave Hill an
nounced that he would retire from
politics on the first of January.

RAYMOND, staff correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, says: "A campaign
has been conducted and president
elected without single issue which
tcu,Ilts. fairly claim to be in any way
decisive of the zss,,lt. The platforms
of the two great political l,s.s ties are
not so radically different, but that they
might have been written by the same
people. though at different times The
result shows what the people think o.

tparties. There never was anything SC
Iidiotic attempted in all the history Of
politics before.

voters on election day. For months
lthey had meditated in silence, devisins
lschemes to enable them most effective

The two wings Of the democratic
party fight .ach other with more fierce
ness than either one Of them does the
republican party and that fight will
be fiercer hereafter than it has ever
been before Any man who can be-
lieve that a genuine reform party can
ever be made out of such an incon-
gruous mass, must have great lack
of reasoning powers.

Since the editor of The Independent
resolved to take hand in the effort
to rescue the peoples party from the
pit into which fusion with the demo-
cratic party had cast it, he has tray
eled about 1900 miles and crossed the
continent twice. 1t seems to him that
he has done his full share. Not a
mile of that vast distance was tray~
|eled on a railroad pass.

Of the dust which accumulates on
its right Of way. and various

any real benefit except the use of
crude oil. That road has purchased
$4,000 barrels OF oil from Bakers

have cars of special design 90
