Show democratic administration mucia MUCH has been said by the republican press and orators about the incompetency and mismanage of the democratic party in national affairs sneers and tal taunts ft are constantly employed by our op opponents to inflame the pop popular ular mind and to saddle upon the party parky of jefferson fferson Te an all the ills and disappointments of our political life the low prices of products the lack of employment bythe by the wage worker the timidity of capital to invest in in large enterprises the scar scarcity elty of money in in general circulation the universal depression in business circles andy and in fact all the disastrous events of man in an hour of reckless political rancor have hare been charged up to the democratic administration at washington while the writer does not in all things concur with president cleveland yet we believe in iii just dealing with all men and measures that a large number of the democratic party disagree with the president on one ortho or two questions there is no doubt but this fact simply shows the independence and patriotism of the party and is a tribute to their manhood and personal integrity the baham ax has on several oc 1 ca criticized the president for I 1 his antigoni ant agoni sato to free coinage and for kis his efforts to maintain a single gold standard this position of president cleveland ii h not strictly a party ques question tion as a vast majority of republican leaders are an in full fall accord with him ou on these issues so the g 0 p fellows are not in ii a position to

export of gold out but of the country on this question the records show that under mr Clev cleveland elands first administration of four years only in gold were exported while under mr harrisons

of the country is the cheapest kind of demagoguery it is a falsehood made up to deceive the voters from the back counties it is the cry of stop thief for the sole purpose of covering up their own deficits no wonder that such a party could raise up a prophet who asserts that the decalogue and the golden rule have no place in the politics of this country the greatest patriots and statesmen who have ever adorned the historic page of our nation have all had their slanderers slander ers and vili fiers from washington down aown to the present but the sober sense and good judgment of fair minded men at last give credit where credit is due and we predict that in less than a decade the very persons who are so loudly abusing the present administration will pi point t to it with just pride and declare that it was wise and patriotic |
