McKinley stands Imperialism in 18U8 The Decorah Iowa Republican has discovered a striking similitude between the utterances of the Kansas City con vention and the one held by tho same party iu 1803 just after the closo of tho civil war History repeats itself aud unfortunately for the democratic party it has the failing attributed to history That it is a bad habit espeilly for parties is not to be denied as it has frequently led to disastrous blunders The following is the Republicans review of the situation in 1SG3 Pendleton of Ohio had converted a large body of democracys followers into a craze for cheap money in the form of an unlimited issue of green backs It mattered not that when the greenbacks were first issued as a war necessity the copperhead end of tho democratic party roso up en masse and cried unconstitutional The green back cry was a catchy one and Pendle ton rode it aa Bryan has since ridden freo silver because it appeared to be popular and a winner The national nominating conven tiou of that year barely escaped making Pendleton and his fallacy the sole issue of tho campaign by nominating Horatio Seymour ngaiust his very prononuced refusal to accept Theu it was that while placing the greenback fallacy into the platform the effort was to make another paramount issueby settiug up tho bogy man of military despotism More than half of the platform was devoted to a cry of alarm amouutiug to a wail at the unparalleled tyranny a id oppression that had marked the career of the radical party It was charged that it had subjected ten states in time of pro found peace to military despotism and negro supremacy It has converted tho American capitol into abastile Under its repeated assaults the pillars of tho government are rocking in their base and should it succeed lu Novem ber next and inaugurate its president we will meet as a subject and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty aud the scatterod fragments of the constitu tion It was also declared as tho solemn opinion of tho democratic party that the act of tho radicalparty if sanctioued by tho people will sub vert our form of government and can only end iu a single centralized aud consolidated government in which tho separate existence of the states will bo entirely absorbed and an unqualified military despotism be established iu place of federal uniou of co equal states Iu spite of all this tremeudous dan ger Graut was elected Jthe country went on its way in reconstructing the rebelliou states the peril of cheap mouoy was avoided the fear of a military despotism faded oilt in the
