The Greeley tribune., 1911-07-27

paxtaes, but It IL one Of those LAVE
bigger than either party.
There need BE- no fear OF the
vorking out Of the law. 1t IL the
lo0ical outcome of the intimate reia-
ti0ns OF the two countries that are
bounded only BY an imaginary line:
Il ie the real excmplificataon OF
democracy forced upon . republican
president 30 strongly that he couio
bat yield to popular demand. II was
framed by . demOcatic house OF
Representatives and passed. upon
favorably by . senate fearful OF tne
totterin9 thrones Of repubaicaaism:
Tho action is . tacit admission OF
tf,e republicans that their last re.
naininR fallacy fails further to fooi
tho people.
Tariff, the bulwark Of the reput'-
lican party all these years that the
vested interests have fattened on
tribute of the people, can no longer
be the battle cry. The people VINO
elect have learned that the shouting
and the tumult was for gain only 70
those who profted by the laws they
so arxiently advocated. They nave
paid the score 50 cunnfnAy caicu'
lated by the very trusts that now
are being dissolved by the party that
can no longer withstand the CRY OF
the people. The undoing Is coming
from within the ranks OF those VINO
buiIdei. Even Guggenheim. the
sole senator from Colorado, having
none Of his seven trusts involved
voted for reciprocity with Canada.
Democracy is no longer to he
merely a name. Roosevelt cut his
&I,.oo< I,v oufnrcfnO what
the democrats had pleaded for many
wears and the result of his lal,Ors is
becoming apparent. When democ-
racy appealed for square deal the
trusts thrOttled the republican con-
gr,ss. The steel trust shipped rails
abroad, paid the freight. and then
sold them for less than they could
tt, bought at the factories In TINS
country where they were made. And
the steel trust was but one OF the
many gigantic corporations made
possible under the republican re-
gime. Steel is the most starring ex-
ample of how the republican party |
handled things for those who paid
for its prostitution.
The country is beginning to real.
ize that the fallacies 1t has cherished
are but the buncOmb Of the bought |
brains of those who have fattened
financially by the monstrous cOnm-
tions. The day Of the Guggenheims
in the United States senate are COM |
ing to an end. The panderers for
coin alone soon will he spewed from
ranks of the legislators. The thrall. |
dom of the dollar will be inert when
the peopRe realize that men. and not /
jnsolent wealth, are wanted to lead |
this country to its ultimate destiny.
The day of democracy is coming,
remOrselessly and ire
yOkably. The people are learning |
slowly but surely that the money
power IL the republican party. They |
yearn for . pure democracy such -
the founders Of the republic had in
mind when they proclaimed war ON
the country that bred them. And
this democracy Is coming because
the voters are learning that they
have been fooled and robbed and
then teered At by such men ~ GuQ.
eenheim. who placates the uAthink. |
ire With . paAtry aift whfle he levies
tribute Of millions through DE-
bauchine his high Office to tariff
levies ON those things that enrich !
his family.
The CRY Of the oppressed Is being |
needed. even by the oppFessors. bat |
this must he the signal for cesaa- |
ticn. A bit Of sop must not he
taken for real reform. The battle
must he wa9ed relentlessly until
every honest citizen Is freed from
the domination Of the monstrOus
horn Of and fostered by
the republican party.
