ASSISTANT REPUBLICANS.
Any man who will make a stuuy of
the . political history of the iast 40
years can come to no other cc Delu
sion than that it would have Dcen im
possible for the republican party to
Have established the system of Ham
iltonianism and. concentration of
wealth in few hands, had it. 110c been
lor the effective assistance that the
democratic party has given.
Two or three times the people nave
been ready to throw off that system
and would have done . it, had it not
been for the assistance of the demo
cratic party, given at the critica. mo
ment to plutocracy. Governor Seymour
would have been elected and the wnple
course of the government changed, if
at' the critical moment the leaders of
the democratic party had not, come to
the aid of the republicans.. It was the
Belmonts then, just as it.' is the Bel
monts how that did the worK, . A
short ' time before. , the election w hen
it was clearly seen that Gove, nor' Sey
mour would be elected" the "House of
Belmont" rushed to the,assis.ance of
the i republicans and. ordered , too New
York; World, which it. owned to .an
nounce, the defeat of Seymotii, (See
0el Mar;' History; of Monetary Crtiues.)
By th'a,t, act the '.republican party 'was
saved. , ; 'The , assistance rendered was
of .vital, importance. .!.. ''.'!' .
Again jln 1,892,' the people determined
& ferriw'. off the 'protective systent: A
the. democratic .party was p. m pow
er, for the purpose ; of reversing the
poiicy which forced "American citiiens
to pay fifty per cent more for Ameri
can goods, than the same gocds were
sold to foreigners. ' "There was , a .re
bellion' against, the 'republican policy
and that party was in sore need of
assistance.' the democratic party, as
always, was ready to give it. .', In vio
lation of promises made to tLc ieopie
they : passed a tariff bill whi : h, while
lowering the' rates oh some arures,
enacted a highet protective'' tefcastire
than was ever before enacted." ! "--
In ? 196 the ' repubHcan patly ' "was
again in'ore" 'iieed of assistance:'? The
whple ; fabric of national'- bahKi-HrV.sts,
a.ncL high protefctibn was ' in thi! gitat-
est danger The-leaders trembled- as
they ' thought; . Itr - There was ' no
hope;'for! them unless"' they could get
it eie'ept the democratic pa' ty and
they : dW not appeal 'Hn'-Valn"'-. Hun
dreds of the' democratic leade.s rHshed
over to the republicans; The'fotmed
a third' "party--' for.' the express- and
avowed-purpose of assisting the tepub
licans.r'. Besides; that the leadcs in-?
sisted iiw putting on Bryan's. shoulders
at high i protection-plutocrat-rfJiubiican
as-Viee" president.''-. -They knew, vtery
well .if' Tom Watson had been ptit on
as the vice presidential candidate and
he' had swung into the campaign with
tAwral,firf . alQ.ng with Btyan,
that even the desertion tu uiTcsf.wa
to the republican party or thi organi
zation of a third party could noi tave
the , day to Hamiltonianism and pro
tection. That was the most vital and
po'werful assistance that the retubiican
party ever received from the demo
cratic party. So important was it mat
many of those engaged m it we. e re
warded by high office with life tenure.
Others by the score were appointed on
commissions. Judgeships and all
such things were distributed among
them.- Today no man denies the value
of that assistance.
Again in 1900 the republican system
was threatened. The democratic party
sprang Immediately into the broach.
rhey knew that the turning dov n of
Towne would give the republicans every
northwestern state. . They- proroulfHl

It's a Lard thing to get when you haven't got one,
and an easy thing to get rid of after you've got
it. Dollars usually go like sheep in flocks
and when one starts to go they all follow. It's,
an easier thing to accumulate your second dollar ;
than your first, and its easier to get rid of
your second hundred than your first. Many a
woman throws away the dollars that her husband
works hard to get not' wilfully, but "just be
cause." . The women who are helping their hus
