People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 January 1896 — War Proclaimed. [ARTICLE]

War Proclaimed.

War was proclaimed in August, 1894, against protection and governmental favoritism in the tariff; a fight to the bitter end. Mr. Cleveland proclaimed it. He also announced his own enlistment as a private in the army of attack. We quote his energetic words of August 28, 1894: “I take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party who believe in tariff reform and know what it is and refuse to accept the result embodied in this bill as the close of the war.” This volunteer took his place in the ranks, but where is he now? He has rup away! Has he sent a substitute? If so, who is that substitute? Has he fled also?—New York Sun. If the voters of this generation had the spirit of the men of 1776 there would be a shaking up of old dry bones among the pcjticians of today.
