Overview

Excerpt from A Documentary History of American Industrial Society, Vol. 8 The evils that afflict society have been criticized by the progressive Spirit of the age, and organized efforts have been made for their correction. Every prominent abuse of the human faculties, every prevailing vice, every oppressive and degrading rela tion that prevails, has caused the friends of humanity to array themselves in bands, for the purpose of resist ing, and if possible of eradicating, some one or more of the evils that disgrace our age and country, and these bands have been justly entitled Reformers. The Democratic party is an organization of reform ers, whose principles tend to perfecting our political system, by securing to each citizen the greatest amount of individual independence, but they have made but little progress, because their leaders, corrupted by place and power, have almost always found that their inter ests were hostile to the principles of their constituents.
