be expected from an opponent that the
republican position on the money ques-
tion was. and is, correct. The very
boast Of Grover Cleveland that demo-
cracY is now "safe and sane" is the
strongest possible statement that the
democracy Of 1896 and 1900 was unsafe
and insane. Judge Parker states in so
many words that if he is elected the
country will return to the flow prices
of the last democratic administration. !"
We have no doubt but that Mr.. Parker
is correct. Judge Parker is appealing
TO the salaried people. the wealthy
people, the people living on fixed In

their dollars and whose only interest

stiles and luxuries OF life With those

many and in the vote of the solid and
'eeply prejadiced South. 1t cares not
for the vote of the West. Judge Par
ger says that his election means Cleve-
land prices for all that the farmer pro-
daces. He does not guarantee that in
terest rates or fixed C .arges will 60

should not the voter have the blessed
consciousness that he has voted for
what he thought was right? If the
Cleveland-Parker democracy of today
is right and helpful every man should
vote that ticket though the heavens
fall. 1t is but the cheapest and poor
est trick of the politician to urge any
other course upon the people. If the
people OF the West repudiate' Cleveland
and all his works with mighty voice,
it will have great weight. 1t will serve
notice, that the farmers of Iowa do not

walton OF democracy itself, if it shall
this year repudiate the sale of the:par-
ty to the Same Rothschild- Morgan
Cleveland combination that made nile
millions of dollars on single bond-sale
transaction during the time when the
low prices of a democratic aaministra-

The democracy of Bryan. while in
our opinion wrong, was at least bold,
aggressive and manly. The democracy
OF today. the democracy OF the Ceve-
land Belmont-Par combine. is a
cowardly makeshift, cringing at the
feet OF the international syndicate of
Jewish bankers who would bleed the
Nation.
Not only is the republican party neg
a.ively to be preferred Ito the Cleve-
land democracy OF today, but it is posi-
lively strong all along the line of pub
lie policies.
We take it that the voter does not
need instruction as TO the elemental
principles of the tariff. Every man
knows that. reduced to simple terms
both parties are agreed as to the
necessity of u tariff and that the divid-
ing line is as to the articles on which
the tariff is to be placed A certain
sum of money, increasing as the needs
OF the nation increase. is to, be raised
each year.
Democracy would raise this sum by a
tariff on those things which are not
produced in America. The tea. the
coffee, the drugs and chemicals which
rich and poor consume in almost like
quantities would be taxed. The re-
publican policy is to place the tariff
on articles which are and can be pro-
duced in America, thus serving the
double purpose of raising the revenue
