Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Word of Warning to Democrats: From a Life-Long Voter With the Party In the terrible storm of civil war which is now sweeping over the land, we find ourselves suddenly arrayed 011 opposite sides of a question involving vast consequences to us all. We stand, as it were, face to face, gazing at the question lying between us. We cannot both he right, yet neither is able to convince the other of his error. Were this a mere political question, simply a scramble for office, such as we have witnessed iii years gone by, I would be content to remain silent; but, when I see the enemies of republican institutions clutching at the throat of our Government, and that Government apparently in the agonies of dissolution, I cannot restrain myself from making an effort to show to you the consequences which are almost certain to follow a successful carrying out of the Democratic policy. To spread before your eyes the picture which looks so terrible to mine, and if you will bear with me, my friends, I will endeavor, as briefly as possible, to show that the policy of the Democratic party, if successful, must, of necessity, lead to nothing hut evil, and, perhaps, to the ruin of our country. Before proceeding further in my self-imposed task, allow me to premise that, in using the words "Democratic" and "Democracy," I refer simply to the party organization of that name, and not to the principles of Democracy, which I regard as essentially different from the policy now advocated by that party. With this explanation I proceed. The policy of the Democratic party, as I understand it, from the addresses of its leaders, the speeches of its candidates, and the catch-words of the rank-and-file, is "Compromise" "Peace" "To put down the Administration" The Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was," and something, not clearly defined, about repudiation of the United States debt.
