HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Tbrde times In Its history the Demo

cratic party has made a complete sunrender of its principles and in each Instance this surrender has resulted inan overwhelming and dlsasterous defeat In 1872 Instead ot nominating aDemocrat it nominated Horace Gleeley the rankest abJlItlonlst in thecountry and It was followed by a tidalwave for the Repunlicans In 1880

after the Presidency had been stolenfrom Tilden and Hendricks the partyturned from the Issue and Instead ot-

renomlnatlng the candidate who hadbeen robbed surrendered the issueand nominated Gen Hancock who hadnot cast a vote in twenty years andagain another tidal wave for Republi-canism swept the country The thirdexperiment was made ot surrenderingin the nomination Parker and DavisThe party after making two heroIctights under the leadership of MrBryan on great economic questionswhich effected the welfare of the nation and only defeated in 1896 by themillions ot corruption fund of the Re-

publicans it surrendered to the Palmerand lJckner Democrats who had helpee to defeat Bryan and practically allowed them to name the ticket uponthe assurance that Wall Street and theTrusts were dissatisfied with Roosevelt and would put up a sufficientcampaign fund to carry the EastThis third experiment of surrenderled as we naturally expected It wouldto a third tidal wave for RepublicanIsm almost as great as the one of 1872To be more explicit last winter theSouthern leaders In Congress wereprevailed upon to allow New York toname the az idate upon the ttlea thatit that was done and a candidate putup who would be more acceptable toWall street than Roosevelt that NewYork and other Eastern States wouldbe joined to the South In the electionof the ticket There naturally couldbe no enthusiasm In such a campaignIt was characterized throughout byItIle greatest apathy The question otthe Income tax was surrendered theprotective tariff was not discussed asJudge Parker eliminated the Issuehimself by declaring that If elected hecould no change it oa account ot ahostile Senate The Trust questionwas surrtndercd the only vital issueupon which the Democratic party hada single hope to win upon In the nomination of Judge Parker by AugustBelmont and other representatives otthe Trusts

The only questions which were discussed wete yhatshould be done withthe FilllplloS and the Panama canalThese did not appeal to the people andno Interest or enthusiasm could bearoused about them The race wasmore like a horse race where the sameparty owned all the entries

A month or so after Juege Parkersnomination the Trusts realized thatthere was danger or Roosevelts elec

tion even It they put up millions forParker and knew that in Such eventthe man with the big stick wouldpttrllsh them very severely They atonce began to hedge The first stepwaS the New York Sun Morgans pa-

per that had been abusing Rooseveltfor a year turning to his supportThis was followed by Secretary Roothaving au interview with Morgan Inthis Interview or shortly following Itthe Trusts made terms with the Re-

publicans and they at once desertedthe Democratic candidate whom theyhad caused to be nominated by theirpromises As a proof of this we quotefrom tIr 00 Stealey in the CourierJournal the day before the election

uHe could have told the AmericansthatJ Pterpont Morgan head of allthe trusts in the country had ap-

proached even the friends ot JudgeParker and solicited campaign fundstdelect <Roosevelt One ot the gentle-men he approached said

Why Mr Morgan last spring youtold me that you were against Roose-

velt and would put up your moneytodefeat him It the Democrats nolnitat

I

ed a good safe man Why fb 1 schange

Morgan replied that Roosevelt wasall right nowJudgesoarcandida

of understanding with the Democratsuntil Morgan and his crowd desertedthem To be very plain we sold outWall street and the Trusts tttr a mess

ot pottage in the way of a campaignfund and then the very people we sold

out to turned directly around and soldus out We do not know but what we

deserved what we got just a9 we didwhen we nominated Greeley and laterHancock The American people evi-

dently thought so

We have the comforting assurancethat the News stood with Mr Bryanagainst this surrender to those who

helped defeat us In 1899 and 1000 andthat we supported the only candidatewho would have fought the trust from

start to finish and who In consEquencewould hale had the support of Bryansfollowers and in addition all the organIzed labor votenn the country WilliamRandolph Hearst

There may be no hope of Demccrat-Ic success In this country but It thereis a hope It rests with an absolute loy

alty to principle and no surrender inthe future to the very interests thatwe must fight It rests upon standingfor the poor mans Interest against therich mans interest in the hope thatfarmers and laborers of all kindS will

enlist under our banner E TownNews

Oiliness Is not holiness

Sincerity Is the secret of ability

You do not have to throw grit Inyour neighbors eye to prove that you

are a man ot sand

There are no good manners withpoor morals

Yt11 need not be a shadow becauseyou are not a son

No man enjoys the farm when heplows it with his face

No amount of looking right can fix

you up for living wrong

Its a poor kind ot affection for acreed that prevents Its correction

Nothing else will cure your own mis-

ery like mlnlstryfor others

give freely with the fewest regrets

The things that are carried higheston gusts of popularity often weigh the

leastTheman who has no interest In

heaven is not likely to have much principle on earth
