From page 607 of An American Glossary (1962) by Richard Thornton we find: [1859 The Democratic party can no more run their party without ******* than you could run a steam-engine without fuel. That is all there is to Democracy; and when you cannot raise ******* enough for the market, then you must go abroad fishing through the whole world. — Mr. Wade of Ohio, U.S. Senate, Feb. 25 : id., p. 1354.]**
