Can.eauenriaI Damage.

The following is the account of the People
against the Democratic party in addition to the
national debt. 1t is one of the best campaign
papers for use in the present campaign that we
could publish. 1t is to be noticed that many of
these items annual, and some of these the very
heaviest-as for instance the inteI est on the debt
and the pension list.
Let this account he charged home in every
County ON the Democratic papers, orators, and
\ management. Let them explain it to the people
| if they can.
This money account, of course, cannot take in
| the great suffering, death, prostratiOn of busi-
ness, loss of indiyidual fortunes, mntiatiOns,
wounds, and greatest of all, perhaps, the widow
hood and orphanage which in the ledger of the
country stands charged up against the Democratic
party.
But to the money account, which is an adjus-
ted balance taken from the books of the United
States:
The Democratic Party to the People of the United
States, DIR.
