These are the kind of "ads" that attract the eye of any hard working inau. Try it and set;. , Democracy, Past and Present. How many modern students of the history of political pan, ties and of the J.emocruti^ par ty in particular have paused to note the origin of that part\ and the causes which led up to its becoming a prime factor in the development el the conn try? IiyTlTe" light of event* whieh'iinve clustered thick mid J fast, during the nast three years of sb callt'd,l)ein >cratic rule, ii may be well to carry the dcin-j ocr.il ic* reader hack to the pri mary stage of his party and to - draw a comparison between the democracy of the time of .Jef ferson, the first democrat and! the founder of his party, and what some are pleased to term true democracy today. The Democratic party of a century ago was the legitimate sequence M projected national legislation tending to transform %' our free Republic into a morci or less severe form of despo tism. The people of that day had early -imbibed I lie idea thai | they should govern, not be | governed. That that was t he j essential element in a Repub lic These views however were not shared by Alexander Ham ilton, the lather oi the Re publican patty (then called j Federalist^) and a> his influence in those d ; i \ s in aflairs of gov ernment was almost all-power-! fill. upon his recon.m 'Dilation : several measures r">| a central izing nature were piss.-d b\ j the National Congress which aroused the people to a deep sense of tin dangers inwna'cing their sovereignty. This feeling of uneasiness ''and uncertainty brorjiht a., out the election of Jeflerson to the Presidency, and the people once entrenched i ti power ile ficd every effort of the corn I lin ed forces of wealth aed jjiv.rd to dislodge them for more than half a century during which the country prospered and became great. In all these ye ?rs public pol icy followed the trend of public thought and obeyed its dictate-, with an eye single to the glory of the Republic. Mistakes were made, crimes almost wero committed, but the Judders of the grand old parly were neyei kv ashamed to acknowledge thSir errors nor to op ply remedial legislation. and it was' thun they retained public confidence. In marked contrast with the glorious history ofthat halfcen turv of Democratic r u I o appears the infliction upon the people of the past throe years of Clevelandism. JefTcrsoniun and Jacksoni >' democracy represented ? sim plicity in the conduct ofuffair# of government, ? as little gov erning (ts was compatible with the public welfare; ? sjriet economy in expenditures and the levying of no more taxes than was Nullieicnt to meet the same; ? th? continued issue? I > \ the government of a. sftllicient volume ol tho gold and silver money of the Constitution to do the business of tl.e country upon without discrimination against either metal.. Above all was tile Demo cratic party of those days ever arrayed against the aggression^ of coi porate wealth. Our man j ufacturing interests received adequate protection, but never in the histoiy of the Democrat ic party has the Hepubliuim principle of'4a tariff purely for protection" received the slight est encouragement. I tt^w is it with us now how ever? Can we cjill I ho patch* work policy of the present ml ministration Democracy? No, it is simply Olcvelandism which interpreted means a curious jumble of mugwumperv, Re publicanism and spoils. The principles of true dnnos racy are as dear to the heart >> of a majority of our country men as they were in the pal miest days of the party's his tory, hut such a monstrosity as bad leadership and evil coun sels has reduced the former bulwark ot their liberties ex cit.'S only a version and honor. Toiling millions of t hi* debt ridden who placed their laith and hope of rcleif in the phan tom of the party of JelVerson and Jackson curse tin.-, new democracy which has made more paupers, outcasts and trampe, and entailed upon the people more ot want and mis ery than famine, war or pesti lence in a century. ,Thciv once lived a philoso pher who under every frown of fortune pres. rv d his usual calm hi d unmoved aspect.. On one oN'asion just alter he had sufl. red a particularly severe loss, a friend asked him how h" boie up so well. He repli d ktmv motto is, This also.1 shall pass awuy.'u So with Cleveland democra cy, '*1 1 aNo shall pass away," and in the hour of its passage, the bright star of hope will shine again in the hearts of- a redeemed people.
