THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Although it has been time and again asserted
by the opposition press and leaders that the Demo-
cratic party has ruined the country, and if, one
of our contemporaries says, 1t had possessed many
lives popular superstition attributes to cat, it
would long since have been dead and decomposcd.
But the declarations of the opponents of the great
national Democratic party not to be believed.
These same OppOsitionists charged that Gen. Jack
son ruined the country when he vetoed the United
States Bank bill. Great was the weeping and
waing when General Jackson issued the specie
circular; the last spark of life was cxtinguishcd
and the country ruined But in spite of the
prophecies Of wise men-the pretended lamenta-
tions of hypoerits-the country survived and went
prospecting and to prosper. 1t is a source Of
qualification to know-and the past history of the
country shows the fact-that, Notwithstanding the
continued opposition to, and condemnation of, all
democratic measures under prophecy of ruin to the
country II the democratic party not overthrow
and forever Frustrated, yet, under the wise policy
of her democratic Presidents, she has grown and
prospered throughout the entire period of our ma
tional history. 1t is true that other parties have
had temporary possession of the government and
have administered its affairs for brief periods. 1t
is also true that they have vanished, and without
exception they have failed to leave upon the
records of the country measure of their policy rs
evidence that they ever had an existence. But
the history Of the democratic party is entirely diff
terent. Every stage Of our country S progress is
marked upon her statute books by some wise and
great measure originated and carried through by
the party. Under Washington, the democracy ad-
mitted into the Union Vermont, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Under Madison, Louisiana was ad-
mitted into the Union, and also Indiana. During
the Presidency Of Monroe democratic Congress
admitted Mississippi in 1917; Illinois in 1878;
Maine in 1920; Missouri in 1921 and Florida was
purchased from Spain in 1921. Under General
jackson Michigan and Arkansas were admitted
into the Union; and under Polk, Texas was ac-
quircd, and the States of Iowa admitted in
1915; Wisconsin in 1916, and the Territories of
California, tab and New Mexico were purchased
The State of California was admitted while Fill
more accidentally occupied the Presidential chair,
still democratic Congress did the work of admis-
sion. Under Pierce the territory of Arizona
purchased; and under the present iustrous and
glorious Administration of President Buchanan,
Minnesota admitted in 1858 and Oregon in
1889, making grand total of thirty-three States
constituting glorious Union. In view of all
these facts, let every democrat hold fast to the
good old faith-stick to principles quarrels
about men, and the country will be safe and the
democracy triumphant. And in order to obtain
this end, vote for the nominees of the party.

The law has hitherto favored the debtor sDa
given him all its sympathy; but experience and
observing people are beginning to feel that, in !,
large majority of cases, detestation would b.,
much more deserved sentiment. The Law b,,
treated creditors as hard hearted; but in Eros
majority of cases the fact appears to be that
creditors, who are unpaid and unsecured, are the
victims of men who deserve punishment. ShpWJ
business men generally look to their securities
and the men who trust without security generally
men who are easily imposed upon and need
protection. 1t is getting to be time for the law to
transfer it's sympathies from rogues to honest and
industrious men. Many intelligent persons, who
have watched the operation of the insolvent Law.
believe that its influence has greatly lowered our
standard of honesty in dealing.

INTERESTING STATISTICS

Concerning the Railroads in the United States.
The Railway Annual, by T. H. Stow, gives the
following information:
1t appears that in nine years, from 1850 to 1859,
the railways of the United States increased from
1885 to 1884 miles in length. In this period
the increase in the New England States amounted
to 62 "A per cent, while in eight of the Western
States the increase was 1,2014l per cent. At
the same time the former gained in population
1912 per cent, and the latter 1922. The total
cost of the Roads up to 1859 amounted to $780,
45l ,070, of which large sum it is supposed one
third has been wasted in construction; yet by their
influence lands have been advanced in value and
the speed of internal communication greatly aug
mented aud the whole country benefited. There
are at this time 2S,000 miles Of finished roads IN
the United States, and about 10000 miles either
under construction or projected, requiring s4oO,-
900 900 for their completion. 1t is estimated
however, that many years must elapse before sut-
icient capital can be diverted from other objects
to carry them through. In the meantime many
projected in spirit of rivalry to other roads will
be abandoned. 1t is calculated that 10000 miles
of railway sufficient to do all the business OF
the country at the present time, and that 5000
miles have been constructed, in part, in rivalry to
other roads, which have proved dead loss to
stockholders, and in the main will pass into the
hands of the bond -holders. The average cost Of
railways per mile has been s3G,32S. In the middle
States, s40,9lS; in the Southern States s22,9O6,
and in the Western States $36, 1888.
The reason assigned for cheapness Of construc-
ton of railroads at the South is, that they were
built on the cash plan. Among the net earnings
the Panama shows the largest returns, being S29,~
564 per mile; and those earning the least or moth
ing to kholders were found in Maine, Vermont,
Mississippi, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, New York,
&C. The list of dividend paying roads comprises
rs; among which, two pay an annual dividend of
II per cent; nine 10 per cent; two per cent; ten
8 per cent; six Z per cent; thirty per cent; five
5 per cent; one / per cent; ,! per cent, and
one per cent. The list of delinquent companies
on stock bonds amounts to So. The total bon
ded debts Of the American railways, all of which
mature between 1859 and 1874, amount to Sill, )
199,702. The total debts of the States, including
all liabilities, direct and Indirect including loans
to railroads and expenditures for canal and banking
purposes, amount to about S201 ,S95GGO.

THE GREAT SOUTH CAROLINA
TUNNEL.

y few weeks ago there very large and en-
thuSiastic celebration at the Stump House Noun
tain Tunnel on the Rlue Ridge Railroad in South
Carolina. The Governor of the State and other
distinguished persons were present From a
graphic sketch in the Charleston Mercury we gath
er IA few facts. The Stump House Mountain is a
high elevation, rising to level of 1760 feet above
tide water, situated in Pickens District, at dis
lance by the travelled route of 305 miles from
Charleston. Twelve miles to the west runs the
Chatuga river, the boundary between the States Of
South Carolina and Georgia. The scenery from
the summit Of the Stump House is sublimely grand,
embracing The North Carolina SUBMITS, The high
peaks of the Alleghanian chain, Noun, Pisgah,
Cold, Ball. Table Mountain and the Saddle Peak.
The tunnel is 1864 feet in length, 4l63 of which
have already been driven, leaving only 170l feet
to be now worked. The tunnel is cut to grade
of sixty feet the mile rising westward, and will
require the excavation of nearly 10000 cubic yards
of stone. The Middle Tunnel at another point on
the road, is completed, and the Saddle Tunnel is
one-third through. 1t is thought that, in twelve
months. all the tunnels in South Carolina could be
completed and also the road bed be ready for the
track. Col. Walter Gwynn is the engineer, assist
ed by Messrs. j. NJ. St. John and c. j. Bourne
The powder is made half mile below the build
ing, and the lime for building is obtained from the
Cayuga Lime Works, three miles distant.
