Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1908 — FROM THE PINE WOODS. [ARTICLE]

FROM THE PINE WOODS.

State Chairman Jackson’s home county of Hancock, in which he has been especially active as a leader, is famous as a Gibraltar of Democracy. Mr. Jackson will do bis best to give Indiana the same distinction.

The reports from Washington show very clearly that Indiana’s Democratic congressmen, John A. M. Adair, Wm. E. Cox, Lincoln Dixon and George W. Rauch, are among the most active and useful members of the house. Each of them is doing all that a minority member can do to fulltill every obligation to his constituents.

In 1906 the Hon. Charles Berry Landis blazed forth with the proposition that under a Republican administration there was always "all sorts of work for all sorts of men.” Well, we have a Republican administration and we have all sorts of men, but where is the J ‘all sorts of work?” Hundreds of thousands of men all over the country, witn families to support, are bunting for it without success.

It is currently reported in the northern part of the district, that Dr. 8. I. Brown, of Knox will ask for the Republican nomination for joint senator for the district composed of Jasper, White, Newton and Starke counties. The doctor is a brother of Mr. E. R. Brown of this town, and is a popular man in his section. He was on the committee that made the selection of location for the Homo for Epileptics. —Monticello Journal.

For many years and throughout several campaigns the Republican stump-speakers and newspapers told horrifying stories about the establishment of “soup houses” during the last Cleveland administration. They said that such a thing couldn’t happen under a Republican administration. But it has happened. “Soup bouses” are in operation in most of the cities of the country. Conditions are so distressing and so many persons are out of emplyment that public help is necessary to relieve the suffering. The 1893 panic was dumped upon Mr. Cleveland by a Republican administration. The democrats had nothing to do with bringing it about. And now the present trouble comes after eleven years of Republican rule. How will the Republican orators and newspapers explain the existing necessity for the public soup houses?

AN UNWELCOME GHOST. The Tipton Times reprints two postal cards which the Republican committees mailed to farmers during the 1906 campaign. These cards called attention to the “hard times” of 1896, the low price of hogs at that time, and such like, and then asked the receivers of the cards to vote for the Republican party and "continued prosperity.” When the election of 1906 came off the Republicans carried the state, but the demobrats made a gain of 65,000 over the 1904 election. The people even then had begun to suspect that Republican "prosperity” was a fraud, and recent events have proved it. In less than a year after the election the worst panic since 1873 was upon the country. That it is the worst panic since the Republican panic of 1873 is declared by no less an authority than ex-Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, himself a Republican and lately a member of Roosevelt’s cabinet.

It is time that the people should know the truth. It is time that they realized that such real prosperty as we have had was due to their own efforts, aided by a kind and bountiful Providence. If any ordinary man or ordinary business prospered it was in spite of the handicap of Republican policies. These policies were dictated by the trusts and special interests, which derived enormous and unjust gains at the expense of all others. The policies of the Republican party created conditions which were bound to result in a smash, and the smash came. There will be no restoration of real confidence, no genuine prosperity, until the Republican party is turned out of power and the affairs of this country are run on the principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
