A Costly Overthrow

The democracy of the ftrst district passed this among other resolutions: Resolved, That we congratúlate tlie country on the overthrow of McKln]ry ism'by the legis'.ation of the lasi democratie , cöngress and the consequent large reduction of taxation on and price of the necessaries of life. What irony ! Reduction of taxation : Tlie man who goes to buy a pound of sugar even, and has to pay seven cents for it when he fornierly pnid but five, understands the gall of that rcsolution. . Then. ag.-iin, what is the democratie record for .the past two years ? Here it Is : The bonded debt of the nation has been increased $50,000,000 ! Tlie godd reserve has been reduced $45,000,000 ! l or tlue year 1893 alone tUere was a deficit of $74,000,000 ! And it lias kept increasing all this year. Tliat je the record the democratie party has to go to the people on. Reciprocity with other nations has been destroyed. In order to keep within sight of the expenditures an inoome tax, an old war measure, !ias been re-ndopted. The sugar trust has been voted $40,000,000 by congres-. Nearly every Old unida soldier or i sailor in the service of the ; meute at Washington, especia}ly the peneion departmeut ,has been dis ciïarged aad a confedérate put in his place. Hoke Sniitn brags that the northern disabled old soldiere and the widows and oUier dependente have been robbed of $11,000,000 sSnc.e he took hnld ol the pension department. The reduction in the values of property since Mr. Cleveland took the presidency in March 1S93, is placed j by the commercial agencies at $3,000,000,000. Just think of it, in y democratie friend, and then vote aceordi.ng to your own good judgment of what is for the best interests of thds nation. Does th above record warrant a man in voting for the continuation in jiower of the party that has brought such widespread destruction to the business interests of the country ? Senator Hill's senatorial defense of Cleveland in the last days of the last sessioji of congress, did not work, as that shrewd joliticia.n had planned. The Cleveland demócrata are to bolt Hill's nomination and run FairchUd against bim, and proinise a red hot oampaign. The democratie rally at Gay's ópera house Wednesday night vvas not an overcrowded aïiair. 'ihe speéeh of ,thf lion. Barkwbrth pleased the demcrats of couree, and entertained the others.- Müan Leader. It appears to be just the same all over the county. Ihe demócrata are not in It this year. The v. o.kinginen and minere clown in Olsio are wild with delight over the appeai-ance of Gpv. McKjiUey. He Isgreeted everywhere with greal demon.s'uatlons of joy. At NelsonvUle, O., a few days since the miners, farmers and workingmen took four hours to shake his hand, and then there was not time for all. Mr. Siiyers, of Texas, chairman of the committee on appropriations, at a recent speech at llarble Falis, in that state receutly isaid : We have taken $11,000,000 away from the pensioners, and when congress meets in December next, we will take $10,000,000 inore off those fellows who came down liere and murdered our people. That puts the objection to pensions in a uutshell, but northern demócrata are afraid to speak the whole truth like their southern brethren. Senator David 15. Hill has been noted all his life as an adroit politiclan. He has seldom placed himself in a positian were thei-e has been the least doubt of ucceeding. But now he has put hls loot in it, so to speak. The republicana have ham on the hip and will threw; him so far that the Lick telescope will never be able to flnd out wbere he landed. Mr. Hill will not be the governor of New York again. He luid his day ,and should have been content. David is now on the road down HH1 and after the (ith of next iN'ovember no more will ever be heard of him. U.nder republican administrationa it was only a question each inontli of much of a surplus there was of naiional receipts above expenditures. Dnder the present attetnpt at government it luis becouie a question of déficits. For Ínstanos, in September $7,701,790 were spent inore than was receiveC; and for ie past quart-er the deficit is $10,079,710. Uncle Sam is wcalthy but it wil soon be a question of liow long he can stand sueli reckless flnanceering. (Tlie Wlleon bill instead of belng caUed a bUl for n-ovenue should l)e i bill to create deficienc.es and bankruptcics. In the raeantime Grover is tishtng, and AVilson is Ihííuk wlned and dlned in London Avbere he promised the English manufacturera that he would break down the defences of this country for thcir benaflt.
