Show B THE SAME CAUSE, THE SAME EFFECT. BB Keep in mind that the Democratic platform of BS 1889, was very similar to that of 1904. The one BB special feature in which they agree exactly in spir- B it is their hostility to the protective tariff. Well B they carried the election in 1892 and the result M was that 3,000,000 of the wage earners were B thrown out of employment, and the loss they sus- BB tained and the suffering they endured must be still a bitter remembrance to hundreds of thousands of them. Well the ame party asks for re-installment this year and on precisely the same grounds. Workingmen were perhaps not to blame twelve years ago, but what worldngman can repeat the folly of twelve years ago and still look his wife and children in the face? So sure as the world, could '92 be repeated" and could the Democratic party secure at the election the presidency and both houses of congress, nothing could prevent a return of the woes of 1898-'94. If anyone doubts this let him read the St. Louis platform. |
