The Anccanm Of Thomas Jefferson the Best Democracy
Let the Democratic Party FoAow It for Its Gun Benefit
and for the Benefit Of the Nation

Wilson's performance lie mainly the Federastc flavor Of
it and in the possible consequences the American nation OF
chief executive with Federalsic viewpoint.
The idea that ruler must occasionally reveal himself TO
he mepsv G human 70 Is
The disposition to revert to the formally and ceremony
Of the odesabished English system another characteristic
indication Of Federalistic frame Of mind.
This mental disposition Is not 50 vital unless Is In
dcatve Of the peculiar inability Of the odme Federast to
American ideas and nstituOnsunless it expresses an
unfortunate and unwaantabe tendency to overestmate the
notably inferior institutions of foreign nations particularly Of
England.
The fear that Mr. Wilson Fsderasc frame Of mind may
threaten exactly this danger strengthened by other OF Mr.
Wilson actions and utterances
Mr. Wilson gained degree of Doctor of Philosophy by
essay which conended haganty in the face Of fact that
the English Parliamentary form of government superior
to the American Congressional system
The very obvious and almost universally admitted truth
is that there such practical and efficient system in the
world American Congressional system, with its
mittee organization.
As matter fact England at this day. order per-
form her pressing governmental business compelled to modify
her Parliamentary system which Mr. Wilson admired and
to consider the adaptation and adoption the American system
which Mr.. Wilson 50 dsparaged and despised.
To be that essay Of Mr. Wilson's written
ago. and might be considered early and ougrown
preston Of Federasc affection for England not that
Mr. Wilson has only comparatively recently delivered address
in which he declares that he gets his information world
events from the columns Of The London Weekly Times
The London Times proudly advertises this utterance in
circular which reads as follows Some time ago
dent Woodrow Wilson when speaking at the annual dinner Of
TO GET THE NEWS OF THE WORLD I SUB
SCRIBE FOR THE WEEKLY EDITION OF THE LON
DON TIMES.
The manager of The London Times then proceeds to dae
upon his departments Of world and world BUSINESS
and closes with the polite suggestion that the Enclosed form
should be used by intending subscribers
Certainly The London Times is, at least was
excellent paper but there publication the face Of the
earth completely and absolutely saturated with the English
prejudces toward all other countries and toward America in
particular The London Times
In view Of which it is astonishing alarming Ameri-
citizens think that their Chief Executive gets his news
Of the world and certain extent his views of the world
and his views Of business from the columns Of this biased English
journal
Some American citizens followers of Jefferson and
have studied the attitude of England in Jeersons time dur
ing the Revolutionary War and the War of 1872 Other Aer
citizens disciples of Abraham Lincoln and have read
Of the acts and anmus Of England during the War Of the Re-
belion
All these citizens will wonder what effect this preudiced
English information politics and business" from col
President Many American citizens will seriously consider
whether this insdious English influence will tend prejudice
the Presidential mind against the methods and systems and
institutions Of his country matter how proveny
full those institutions may be.
Many thoughtful citizens will be led TO ponder far
Mr. Wilson attitude toward the American protective tariff
influenced by his Federastc frame Of mind and his English
of information
Mr. Wilson's opposition to the protective principle
inherently essentially Democratic
Jefferson the founder of the Democratic party recognized
the principle OF protection and advocated discriminating duties
in favor of American shipping and reciprocity treaties favor
of American trade.
Mr. Wilson is FUNDAMENTALLY opposed to the prnci
pie of protection and his idea Of radical ruthless tariff reduc
ton but Of the English free trade theories
Golden and Mill.
Mr. Wilson is an English free trader
He obscure his utterance but he not conceal his
acts
Mr. wilson's political economy the political economy Of
another nation and of another age.
is the political economy of nation that passing
of an age that is past.
