But in their judement, this has, for the time being at least, given place in importance to two others, which have been forced upon the country by the republican party and which now, in their belief, “threaten our basic national principles and organic national life.” They state issues as follows: 1. “Un-American colonization, dis- ruptive not only for our national integrity and morals, but also of our national peace, prosperity and per- petuity. 2. The fostering of trusts and of unjust and flagrant private monop- oly.” have under- these The colonization to which the Me- Lean county democrats object is indeed un-American. Properly speak- ing, it is not colonization at all, which means the sending forth of people from a parent country to oe- eupy the wilderness and plant there the laws, the institutions, the civili- zation of that country.
