ment, will, we trust, be left for long
period to the imagination of men,
without giving us the bitter fruits
of its practical realization. What
forms of reputation of the Nation
al faith would be resorted to, may
be inferred from the declarations of
their conventions and the speeches
of many of their leading men.
In all the leading measures of the
Forty-frst Congress for tightening
the burdens of the people the Dem
ocratic party, as represented in the
Senate and House, were found stub
bornly resisting. They vote in al
most solid phalsnx against the bill
whereby the tax on tea, coffee, and
sugar was reduced, whereby forge
free list was added to the tariff, and
whereby six millions Of internal tax
es were entirely removed. They vo-
ted with equal unanimity against the
bill which proposes to fund the pub
lie debt for four per cent. interest,
and thus immensely decrease the an
nual charge upon the people. With
very few exceptions they voted
against the bill which gives to the
South and West something nearer
to a fair proportion ofnational bank
ing capital, and which on the specie
basis makes the banking system free
to all who wish to engage in it as by
right and justice it should be.
These measures were carried
through in spite of the Democracy.
The taxes have been decreased so
that they are $251, 100000 less this
year than in 1866, and $127,000,000
of last years interests has been paid
$143,00O,000 Of the interest bearing
debt has been paid, and $26,000,000
paid that did not draw interest.
The cost of Johnson's government
was 81 to Grants SO, and the cost
per capita of Buchanan's govern
ment was 81 to Grants So.
Such is the Democratic history,
such their record and such their aims
and object. 1t becomes US now to
study well their tactics that we may
meet them understandingly, and
whether they entrench themselves
behind falsehOod, demsgOgueism
Democratic naturalization, or ere.
peaters," they must be exposed and
beaten again. Three years ago, five
Democratic judges in Ohio were ar
rested for issuing fraudulent natur-
alization papers, and it will do nc
harm to watch them now In that
branch of Democratic tactics, The
refusal to allow one to vote who has
"visible admixture" may require
attention too.
The "Repeaters" constitute the
most dangerous part of Democratic
tactics. A sample or two which the
census has brought to light will
serve as an illustration on this point.
A section in New York city in
which the census shows popula-
ton of 32,615 (entitled by a liberal
estimate to less than 5000 votes
gave a Democratic majority Of 49,
900 votes, the whole number oi
votes being 1929.
In the tenth district, which lies
east of Broadway, between Canal
and Walker streets, the last election
showed fifty Republican votes and
eight hundred and eighty-four Dem
ocratic votes. The entire popula.
ton as shown in the census, men,
women, children, and unpaturalized
foreigners, is eight hundred and
seventy. A fair vote would have
shown a poll list Of about one hun
dred and twenty-four, and yet the
Democratic majority was eight-hun-
dred and thirty-four.
There are tactics for you! And
there are the little jokers of figures
that won't lie Here lies the source
Of tnat vexatious and humiliating
disappointment of that great, proud,
intensely Democratic city in finding
by the census that instead of her es-
timated population of 100000,
she has Eut 100000. They multi
piled the vote by five, which is a
good and safe rule in an honest, full
vote. They now see that under the
tactics of the Democratic ''repeaters'
a safer rule would be to divide by
five!
The New York Post says; 'When
this is done in one out of more than
four hundred election districts
equally in the power of the same
men, it is easy to understand the
overpowering majorities figured up
for Democrats in every recent cleo
ton in the City,"
Votes and voters are two things
and very different. While New
York State has a clear and undoub-
ted majority of 10000 Republican
voters, she has majority of 10000
Democratic votes. The "Repeaters'
in the city of New York threw the
State against Grant, and the same
Democratic tatics elected Hoffman
Governor.
