Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1892 — An Aggressive Campaign. [ARTICLE]

An Aggressive Campaign.

Our Bepublican friends make a great mistake in assuming that this Is to be a defensive campaign on the part of the Democrats. It is to be aggressive in the last degree. We have nothing to excuse or to apologize for. There are just three issues: First, the tariff. Second, the force bill. Third, Bepublican extravagance. These the Democrats mean to press home,neither asking nor giving quarter. Bepublican protection is robbery. The tariff is a gigantio job. Forced tribute to the tune of a thousand millions a year is wrung from the people to enrich a favored class. Everybody Is fleeced—the farmer, the doctor, the lawyer, the laborer—in order that the Carnegies may pile up fabulous wealth. The system is rotten to the core, and It will have to go. The Force Bill is a scheme to centralize all power In a self-perpetuating election machine. If it is enacted, nothing short of a revolution can set it aside. It will raise anarchy in the South and ruin in the North. The Bepublicans are committed to it, and if they elect their ticket, we shall have a new era of reconstruction more terrible than the old. It must not be. The people North and South must unite to defeat it. The Bepublicans found an overflowing Treasury. They proceeded at once to loot it. If they are continued in power they will squander all the money of the people and take out a post-obit on the national credit. Down with the robber Tariff! Down with the despotio Force Bill! Down with reckless waste of the resources of the country!—Courier-Journal.
