Republican party always pretended: to be friends of the-' people, their! especial cham pions. That was their strong card, and they have always played it for all it was worth. In. their first battle for party existence tjjieyjmade the wel- I kin vocal with philfipics against the and by misrepresentation and abuse aroused prejudices" rh the minds of the the Northern masses' which won thousands of them ipver" to this new party, which claimed jto be created especially to battlel for the oppress ed and for the righfs and prosperity of the toiling ..manj! fx-om the of its creation to J the present they have surig th in the face of a redbrdi which shows their party to be s same png day day and statesmen have concocted "a tariff bill which i nor eases the duties in favor of the protected industries, in some cases without an increase even being asked for, under the bare faced pretense that this increase is neces sary for the maintenance of indus tries which have been running for a quarter of a century, and some much longer, many of which have made fortunes for those who invested their money in them. That bill passed the Honse under whip and spur of the caucus in spite of the protests of the; Democrats of the Hofise and of the few Republicans ! who had the honesty and the courage to protest .against it. . - . In the shape in which jit passed the House it was more than the Re publican Senators could; swallow and they -doctored it up to make it a little less offensive and presented it, as a substitute of their! own but not much better.' Although they are unable when asked by the Demo crats to give a goad reason for, the extraordinary increase of j tariff du ties on some things, they with char acteristic indifference to the necessi ties and demands of the people dog gedly resist every effort of the Demo crats, and the few- Republican Sena tors who act with them, to cut down in the slightest the proposed increase of the present duties, much larger as they are than the duties they pre scribed in their act two years ago. They are going for the last dollar which they can 'squeeze jout of, the' overburdened and plundered people for the benefit of a few men who con tribute out of their ill-gained profits to Republican campaign funds.. : And tiiis is tne party which claims to be the especial friend j and cham pion of the people. How strange it is that any-considerable number of the people should be led and hum bugged by it, as they , have been and so many still are. !' s I ; ' J ' -. i ' ; , At any time during the- past few months have you received a bill for subscription to the Weekly Star? 7f J t i 1 1 Jf .

Hut thej 999 agree in spirit and in letter wijLh these two if they thought it policy and that the thing could be safely and success fully done. ; j I They have always regarded the negro as a "necessary evil" in the party and have maintained their con nection with him because they couldn't help themselves, for the party without the negro would have been! and would be to-day no party at all, not enough to form j an organization, just about enough, as the worth State, the ablest Republican paper in the State, once sail, to hold the the Federal offices There hasn't been a day since the Republican party was defeated in the State when the leaders wouldn't have swapped off the last negro in it with the devil for white .men enough to give them a show to make a respectable contest.
