The Fear of the Democracy is the Beginning of Calamlty.

Butler's Letter of Acerpt-y.nce. , . Who does not kftow that the very fear of the action of the Democracy in C'ougresslfcas so paralyzed American enterprise and business that mills are everywhere closing, mines shut up, furnaces blown out, and every kind of employment so curtailed that the mechanic and workingman are not earning enough to support life in comfort; so that the farmer even, deprived of a home market, and 'crushed down by discriminating rates of transportation, finds his corn, wheat and wool lower than it has been within the present generation. Can the people therefore trust the ina bine Democracy upon a shifting evasive and deceptive platform?
