Republican Ruin

1 he democratie orators and editors are trying to make out that the republicana have ruined the country. Yes ; and this is the way it was done : In 1860, after twenty years of democratie rule, a government 6 per cent. bond sold lor 89 cents. In 1880, after twenty years of' republican rule, a government 4 per cent, bond celia for $1.08. ín 1800, aftor twenty years of democratie rule a loan of $18,000,000 exhausted the market for six months At the end of twenty years of republican rule a loan of $150,000,000 was taken in a single day. Ín twenty years of republican rule we liii'l : An increase of population of 50 per cent. An increase of general agricultura! expo of 600 per cent. Ai increase iu exporta of bread and breadstuffs of 650 percent. An increase of exports of uianufactured articles of 225 per cent. An inorease of internal commerce of 700 per cent. An increase of railway niiieage of 187 per cent. . ' ín 1860, aí'ier twenty years of democratie rule, Cuugressauthorized a loan of $25,000,000 to pay current expense. ín 1880, after twenty years of republican rule, the secretary of the treasury pays $85,000,000 of debt contracted for a war brought on by a solid democratie south, which now wants power again so as to stop the waving pfthat bloody shirt, the wearing of which ís llancock's chicf glory and his whole available stock as a candidate for the presideney. ín 1860, after twenty yearaof democratie rule, the balance of trade against the country was over $20.000.000 Un May 31, 1880, aftcr twenty years of republican rule, the balance of trade was over $162,000,000 in favor of the couDtry. In 1860, after tweuty years of democratie rule and teaching, there was very eerious riuestion whether we had any nation ; and the old public func'.ionary in the white house, whose chief adviser was Jere Black, the man who now furni.shes the statesmauship for Gen. Hancock, announoed that there was ' no power in the government to coerce a state," lenviog the inference that Jeff. Davis and Alee. Stephens could send the oountry to the demnition bow-wows for all ho could do to prevent it. After twenty years of republiean rule there is no doubt that wc have a country and Alee Stephens and Jere Black would give all they are worth to have the people ïL,et th.at tney .ver questioned it. The kind of ruin which five successive republican administrations have inflicted upon the country is just a Hule striking in view oj,1]10 figures, and the people like it, and cali for more of the same sort, and are bound to have it, too.
