The Messenger Is right la one
thing. "The people are in no mood

Messenger's policy were adopted by
Congress, the howl it speaks of

first point of the above paragraph it

Well, we have read that long
looked-for Democratie address.
It neither condemn an Alliance
man, converts a Democrat, nor
frightens a Republican. Every man
of whatever political faith, can con
sistently say amen to it without the
fear of teing called a heretic. For
if it does not exactly coincide with
hl view-, it certainly does not
antagonize them.
Editors are disagreed concerning
it. One complains that it it another
victory for the Alliance; while an
other,f the same faith and order,
rejoices that it is a Democratic
triumib. One argue that it means
nothing, and will accomplish noth
ing, wulle another concludes that
it means everything, and settles the
K)liey to be pursued by the Demo
craticrrty. State and National, in
the campaign of 1892.
Constrva-.ism is a good thing; but
even that can be carried too far.
That is what is the matter now; the
people have been t o conservative
in their politics.This led them, to
compromise; and from compromise,
to a complete loss, a loss of property,
of liberty and of freedom. If the
Democratic party ho light and the
only means by which the country
can be Saved and the rights of the
people can be restored and preser

surrender to any person, place or
thing. It should rise in its purity
and power, and do something. The

prompt, strong and determined
action.
