A TRUE PREDICTION
1 wish to say to my Republican col
li agues and to Republicans every
where that you are being driven inch
by iiK'h by the great economic laws |
of this country towards the abandon- 1
luent ol "protectionism." Vou may '
war against these great forces for a
while, but the time is coming speed
ily when they must finally overthrow
vou. You may ridicule the "Iowa
Idea." you may laugh at La Toilette,
tummings and others, but these iuenj
are toiling types of the toiling masses
within the republic. :uid (heir views
aie a tribute, eternal as the hills, to
the tenets of that party of the peo
ple from Jefferson to Bryan. lAp
p'ause on Democratic side.)
These men who stand for genuine
revision of the tariff are not going
to grow less in numbers. They are
continually ttoing to increase more and
more by reason of the comprehension I
of the conditions which exist, and a!
sreat Democratic tide is rising,
in this country which will work out
practical results, in spite of the hand
of the "Iron Duke" and his Heuten-j
ants, in spite of partisan politics, in
fcj ite of the contributions of wealth
and power, in spite of the subsidized
press, and in spite of time serving j
politicians, and we shall sweep thej
"Stand Patters" from power in the
Republican party and force it to ac
ccpt finally on this character of leg
islation as it already has done in '
other things, the true Democratic!
doctrine of a tariff for revenue only,
o/ the Republican party will be dis
organized and overthrown and the
Democracy will reisn supreme and
the manufacturer will cease to be the
only creature taken care of by the
kKislatlon of our country. ? Extracts
from the speech of Representative G.
I". Burgess of Texas recently made
iv congress on the tariff bill.
\\V have no knowledge of the char-,
acter of Meheinid Rechad, the new
Sultan of Turkey, but he i? bound,
to be an improvement on Abdul Ham- :
id for the simple reason that it would
bo impossible for him to be worse, j
Senator Bailey has the right idea
when he advocates the taxing of
"swollen fortunes." But still better
would be to change the economic con
so that such tremendous fortunes'
could no' be accumulated.
For we are but of yesterday, and j
know nothing, because our days on|
earth are a shadow? Job, Chapter.8 ?
A Springfield boy was sentenced to
six months in prison for stealing two
cents. He was shy on sense all
right.
Alaska should be given home rule.
Patronize home industries.
CONSOLATION.
deem not they are blest alone
" Whose lives a peaceful tenor Keep!
The power who pities man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
rpiIK light of smiles shall nil again
The lids that overflow with tears.
And weary hour* of woe and pain
Are promises of happier years.
rpHERE Is a <lav of sunny rest
for every dark and troubled night.
And grief may bldo an evening guest.
But joy shall come with early light.
AND thou, who o'er thy friend's low
bier
Post shed the bitter drops like rain.
Hope that a brlguter. happier sphere
Will give him to thy arms again.
"^OR let the good man's trust depart.
Though life Its common gtfts deny.
Though with a pierced and bleeding
heart
And spurned of men he goes to die.
"CV3R God hath marked each sorrowing
" day
And numbered every sccret tear.
And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay J
For all his children suffer here.
-William Cnllen Bryant. |
