Excerpt from The Great Fight for Free Silver: An Interesting History of the First Great Struggle in Which the Fearless and Brilliant Leader of the People Championed the Cause of Humanity in the Memorable Campaign of 1896
To a self-governing people political parties are as the tides and currents to the waters of the ocean. The latter prevent stagnation; the former check public corruption.
The Democratic party, founded on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and having at the head of its roll of honor the illustrious name of the author of that immortal document, has always stood, as it stands to-day, preeminently as the party of the people. Ever true to the principles on which it was founded, it has for nearly a century been the champion of the masses in their struggles against the oppression of the classes.
In its efforts to prevent class legislation that favors the few at the expense of the many, to secure equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and to maintain the primitive simplicity of the policy and principles of the fathers of the Republic, the Democratic party has a record superior to that of any other party.
The policy of the Democratic party is stronger to-day than ever before. It condemns the policy of expanding the Republic through the slaughter of brother men.
