Not one word can truthfully be said against them, political ly or any other way—modest and un assuming, they are not making as much noises* tbe Idol and Me Too. but they will get there all the same. Ckocxse stands up for Nebraska so does Morton, but Van Wyck yells ca lamity. And Van Wyek has more tnonev and property than tbe other two combined, and you might add tbe wealth of Manderson and Paddock and stiil Van could over-site tbe pile. Van Wyck is an arrant old humbugging demagogue, and the people axe fast finding it out. The Independent asks whether the voters of Holt county will support and read sueb a paper as Tbe Kuoxtiek Why, bless your little soul, brother,they have boen doing that same for a dozen years and will long after the Independ ent is dead and forgotten. The way the members of your party are subscrib ing for it the pa«t month or two is an indication of—well, you say what it in dicates. Perhaps you can tell better after election. i The Independent pretends to think that the treatment accorded Mr. Mullen by this papbt debts and provide for the com mon defense and general wellfare of the United States. To regulate com merce with foreign nations, etc. Geo. Wasington, Benjamin Franklin. Alexander Hamilton and others who framed the constitution were protec tionists. Grover Cleveland, Henry Watterson, Senator Vest and others who framed the democratic platform are anti-pro tectionists. Readers, who were best calculated to interpret the meaning of our national charter? Under the articles of confederation, the several states protected their var ious industries in many instances to a prohibited point, and the first law passed by tbe United States congress was a pro tective tariff law. Will any reasoning democrat maintain for a moment that the men who made the constitution would so soon violate its provisions? Great Britain under her navigation laws, her stamp act. and various other forms of protection, had so long pro scribed and prohibited the establishment of industrial enterprises in American, that the necessity of a separate and in dependent nation to maintain, foster and protect American interests was forced upon the colonists. Every reader of American history knows this to be the case. Under these conditions the con stitution was framed, under these con drtions the first tariff law was proposed, and under this wise law the government was enabled to pay the enormous ex - pense of the revolutionary war, build up home industries, and enjoy a prosperity never enjoyed before. And in the face of these facts, the wheezy old democratic party stupidly asserts that a protective tariff is uncon stitutional. After telling us that protection is un constitutional and a “system of rob bery”, our democratic friends in tbe next breath and with equal emphasis as sert that their party is not a free trade party, and Grover Cleveland in his let ter of acceptance assures us that Ameri can industries shall not suffer at his bauds. “Unconstitutional”-“fundamental principles of the democratic party”_ and yet not a free trade party—Ameri can industries shall not suffer at Grover’s hands “Robber tariff.” and yet Mr. Cleveland will continue the robbery. For inconsistency, effrontery and by procrisy. commend us to the democratic party. Were Jefferson. Jackson and Calhoun to return to life this campaign, they certainly would need a letter of in troduction to their political offspring, and if perchance they would recognize it then they would do great violence to the opinion and respect which the pres ent generation is pleased to accord their memories. Henery Watterson saya: The demo cratic party is nothing if not a free trade partr." Henry is the sparkling editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, and author of the anti-tariff plank of the na tional democratic platform. Grover is astride of this platform and trving to ride into the white house on it. ’ Senator Vest says: "Mr. Cleveland has challenged the protected to a fight of extermination.” is on. The London Times says. „ to ^ Uin mat the arguments which Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ fo rty-five years ago and which industries The fight “It is cer any English free trader would employ now.. If the democratic party is not a free trade party, what is it ? If the demo cratic party it cot a protection party, what 5* iff If the democratic party is anything, what is It? If the democratic party is out a trifling, temporizing, trim ming, tody Lug, party, will someone e* plain away the inharmonious utterances of those who hare authority to speak for it and their party platforms and profes sions? AH honest, well-meaning democrats must certainly be at a lose to locate their organization on the issues of the day. And this is a great party which asks to hsTe the destinies of our great nation placed in its hands. What a monstrous reflection on the credulity of the Amer ican people! What a stupendous and stupid attempt at wholesale deception ! But few intelligent and self-respecting American citizens will willingly permit themselves to be made victims to such a palpable confidence game. The republican part is precisely a pro tection parly. It does not trifle or tem porize the matter. Ninety per cent, of the anti-protectionists are arrayed against it. Our protection laws are the fruits of its efforts and the country's power and prosperity are the results of these laws. It attempts no deception, prides itself on its position, and chal lenges the English free traders to a fight of extermination. It lakes just pride in the fact that under protection, England, through its prime minister, only last May was compelled to admit that the country it now has most to fear in trade and commerce, is the United States, while but a little over a century ago—a short lime in the history of Nations—the country the United States had most to fear was greedy, intolerant Great Brit ain, who by her tyrany and taxation precipitated the little tea party in Bos ton harbor and drove to rebellion and independent* her outrage 1 American dependencies. * * « The republican party believes that the first duty is to forward and protect the interests and inhabitants of the United States, and the rest of the world after wards. It believes in the biblical doct rine that he who neglects his own family is worse than an infidel, it believes with Benjamin Franklin, that if you make sheep of yourselves the wolves will eat you; and on this line it to-day is arrayed against the combined hosts of free trade in one of the most desperate conflicts that'has ever been forced upon it by the commercial powers of Great Britain and their mercenary and unpatriotic Ameri can auxiliaries. On this issue the republican party must either win or lose, and in the fight it can only hope for assistance from Americans. The sympathy of the outside world, prompted by the cold-blooded greed of otir commercial rivals, is against her, and if overpowered and compelled to succumb in this fight, the curse of one of the most monstrous blunders ever per petrated by the American people will be upon them, and the proverbial ingrati tude of a republic, will once more be fully exemplified. * » * The democratic party does not hope to win upon the issues of the day, but by a trick of politics—a scheming, and here the foxy villainy of the organization is again made apparent. By collusion with the independent party in some of the northern and western states, it expects to take away from Harrison sufficient of the electoral votes to prevent the elec toral college from making a choice, and thereby throw the election into the house of representatives, which to-day is largely democratic. The result of this of course will be to elect Cleveland. The election of Cleveland means a triumph for free trade practically, or it means nothing—not by a discussion of the issue in the public forum, no t by a fair expression of the American people through the ballot box, but by a most despicable trick, a hellish conspiracy, to which the independent party is made a willing victim. * * * It hardly seema possible that the think ing, reasoning, patriotic masses of the independent party will permit themselves | to be blindly led to the slaughter in this way, and made the means by which Great Britain and the democratic party are to be the beneficiaries. They cer tainly are not going crazy in job lots. They certainly are not so blinded by the chaff of the calamity howlers of the Van Week and Kem stripe that they cannot j see the danger signal when it confronts j' e“ pnnted >» such large letters that it can be read from the moon. They are not all ignorant of the history of the past, or unsusceptible of the promptings of paimotism. They will surely be brought to a realizing sense of their duty to themselves, their families and their country, before it is too late. It would be a severe commentary on their sanuy to assert that they would not, and I have faith enough in their good judg ment and honest professions to believe that they will not. Clarence 8ei.au.
