We copy the following from an address Of
the democratic vig ance committee, TO the vo-
tiers Of Chesterfield county, Virginia. & which
shows up the economy of the federal party in
its true light. Riding into power on profess
ions Of economy, and pledges 10 make money
matters so easy, that the laborng man should
get his two dollars day and roast beef. IT,
stead Of redceming these pledges, times are
growing from bad TO worse, they have entail
ed national debt Of over twenty millions
upon the country. Having maj orly in Con-
gress, instead of curtaing the expenses Of
5u, irving to head the actng President, ihsif
own "John Tyler too" The recent demon
STATIONS of public opinion at the ballot box
plainly shows that the American people are
already preparing to drive these vandals from
the capital, and supply their place by honest
men.-Ohio Statesman.
Fellow.c,izen We would call your at'en-

Administration has created debt. some say. oil
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS -!
The Wings acknowledge il TO be fourteen mill
IONS so. to be within bounds, we will take
the latter sum.
Fourteen millions of dollars in thirteen
months will be 81, O76,923 in one month.
sl,o76,e23 per month will be $3.50 per
DAY.
$35. ee7 per day will be sl,495 per hour.
| Sl.495 per hour will be 1924 per minute.

this people-lcving, money saving admin's'ra-
ton has increased the debt for the time they

an European sovereign.
We would point you to the fall in property,
and ask il the predictions Of the wing parry
have been verified! MI. Crttendon publicly
announced, that "the mere knowledge OF the
fact Of General Harrsons election would raise
the value of property one hundred millions OF
dollars" They all prophesied that "peace

friends have sworn in riot, brawlins, hard CT
der feasts and log cabin festivals, SO have they
reaped rebukes from all, and are now enjoying
the bitter fruits Of pecuniary pressures ana ols
