Why did the Democratic Republicans see the whiskey tax as a pro Federalist policy?

The Democratic-Republicans represented mainly farming interests whereas the Federalists represented the urban/merchant class interests. The excise tax on whiskey was developed by Alexander Hamilton to help pay for the national debt (this debt was created when the government assumed the Revolutionary War debts of all the states). However, because this tax targeted the sale of whiskey it greatly impacted Western farmers who sold whiskey to supplement their income. This tax favored the large Eastern/urban whiskey distillers but greatly reduced the income/livelihood of the small Western farmers. The Democratic-Republicans used this issue as part of their platform and repealed the tax when they came to power in 1801.

I don't know where you get the idea that Republicans want to end democracy. I suppose that depends upon your definition of Democracy. It would help if your question were more specific. As President Obama said, "Elections have consequences." He challenged to GOP to go out and win - and they did: the Presidency and both Houses - but still not as powerfully as the Democrats in 2008. It is a Republic in full swing.
