in the bouse and senate helped the. re

just after the civil war.. Dcinorcatic
votes killed the bill to re-enact that tax
in 1878. Democratic senators and con
gressmen aided the" republicans in tak

backs of the, poor, down-trodden na
tional bankers, manufacturers and rail
roads soon after the civil war. Demo

It made to the people in 1832 the fair
est promises which persuasive language
could embody. The .pledge was ac
cepted, and the democrats "were en
trusted with the reins of power. They
were given full control president,
bouse and senate. If it was-honestly

here was it chance. They were mon

Now what? ; The - very same -gang
which ran the Cleveland second ad
ministration is running Parker s cam
paign. There is Gorman, who changed
Wilson's democratic tarin diii inw
republican measure. ..There is Carlisle,
the cabinet officer,, who took orders
from the sugar trust. There is OIney,
the railroad lawyer, who loaned tne
United States army to the Pullman
Palace Car company in Illinois. There
is Belmont, whose name reeks of that
midnight bond deal. There is Lamom,
who belongs body And soul to the cor
porations. There is Cleveland himself,
who schemed to get the. nomination,
expected to get it, and by the logic of
events should have had it. Then 'the
tableaux would have been perfect. But
he tells the whole world that Parkr is
a man after his own heart. That being
so. we can guess what Parkei is. .In
1 892 the eastern democrats who were
backing Cleveland were willing to
promise reform. They made distinct
pledges. In 1904, the tame eastern
democrats who are backing Parker will
not make any pledges of reform at all.
As construed by their candidate, their
platform contains no definite promise
nf remedial legislation. Now, listen;

Yes, they boafded our ship, drove us
off the deck, ran up their own flag,
and took the open sea. For eight years
they used and-abused our old Jeffer

she floated off, a water-logged wreck.

While he may not be elected, you are
