What has the Republican parry
dona and what is it doing to merit
the confidence and continued sup
port OF the American people?
The party mas long and brilliant
history of glorious achievements ex-
tending over period of half a cen
tury. 1t has not only been faithful
to every trust Teposed in it, it has
not only proved equal to all occa-
sions requiring able craftsmanship
and wise administrative ability. 1t
has not only poved the truth and
righteousness OF the immortal prln-
ciple upon which 1t was founded, Y
has not only held firmly to the
highes, ideals OF moral as well as
political advancement, but it has
also kept pace with the progress and
development of the country and it is
at the present time doing all that IL
possibly can in the interests of the
people at large in keeping with their
moral and political welfare TO the
end that this, in the words of the
illustrIuus Lincoln, may be coun'
try "of the people, by the people
and for the people 1t is the true
party of progress and its record
proves 1t,
During all this long period OF
progress and prosperity and expan-
sion of more than fifty years, the
Democratic party has been but once
entrusted with the full control of the
national administration. It's the
cries then proved to be Iallacious.
The very menace of free trade de-
moralzcd the business and destroyed
the Industrial interests OF the
country from coast to coast, Disas-
ter, dispair and decay were written
all over the face of this fair land.
The people saw their mistake and
turned the Democrats out. Since
then the country has enjoyed a
period OF substatial prosperity such
as has never been witnessed in the
history of the civilized world.

stantinople, was assured to the
American people by the Republican
leadership for all time.

Wrong Fundamentally.
1t is easy enough for the Demo-
Gratis to say they would do as we'll
as the Republicans if only they were
put into office. No doubt the Dem
6crats mean well but they are funda-
mentally wrong in their theories and
policies. and ii they are wrong there
no number OF good intentions, lrisn
sounding platitudes or glittering
promises will make the wrong
right.
The fundamental difference be-
tween the Democratic and Republi-
can parties lies in this: The Re
publican party favors broad and
liberal construction of governmental
powers to the end that the whole
people as nation may derive all
the benefits of a free government;
while the Democratic party favors a
narrow and selfish Interpretation OF
those powers, which, in the last
analysis. means a policy of sectional
ism, OF provinclalism and OF prog
ress.
This difference as applied to prac-
tical political issues is thus pointed
out in the last Republican national
platform.
In history, the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is
that one stood for debased currency,
the other for honest currency; the
one for free silver, the other for
sound money; the one for free trade,
the other for protection; the one for
the contraction OF American lnnueacl
the other for It's expansion; the one
has been forced to abandon every po-
sltlon on the great issues before the
people, the other has held and vim
dictated all.
In experience the difference be-
tween Democracy and Republican,
ism is that one means adversely
while the other means prosperity;
one means low wages, while the
other means high; one means doubt
and debt, the other means conf
dence and thrift.
In principle, the difference be.

tween Democracy and Republican
ism is that one stands for vacillation
and tlmidtty in government, the
Iother for strength and purpose; one
promises the other performs; one
finds fault, the other finds work.
The Democratic party has accom-
plishcd practically nothing. Let us
now review briefly what the Repub-
lican party has accomplished and
then let US see what it is doing at
the present time.
The following are some OF the
principal acts of legislation by the
Republican party prior to the Sixty
first Congress:
The homestead law, passed by a
Republican Congress and signed by
Abraham Ltucolu,
The acts for the issuance OF legal
tenders and national bank notes,
which gave the people currency OF
equal and stable value in all parts of
the country.
The system of international reve-
nue. taxation. by which approximate
ly one-half OF the ordinary expenses
of the government have been visited
upon malt aud spurious liquors, to-
bacco and cigars.
The thirteenth amendment to
the Constitution, which abolished
slavery.
The fourteenth amendment, which
created citizenship of the United
states as distinguished from citizen
ship of several states, and provided
that no state should abridge the
privilege or immunities of the
United States.
The fifteenth amendment, which
established equality of suffrage.
The Civil Rights Act, which ex-
tended to. all persons the equal pro-
lection OF the laws.
The existing laws for the payment
of pensions to veterans of the Civil
war and their surviving relatives.
! The liberal legislation respecting
mineral lands, which built up the
mining industry, added enormously
to the wealth of the country in the
precious and semi-precious metals,
and made 1T possible to resume
specie payments.
