During the five years and four
months from March Il, 1869 toJuly /,
1874 the reduction of the public debt
has amounted to 1892, ,375,0 ,0l8 This
reductions Of nearly four hundred
millions has been accomplished by
integrity Of administration, and
strict economy, during a period, a
portion of which has been marked
by q peculiar and unusal business
and financial depression, and not on
ly without imposing new taxes, but
tightening and removing many that
had been assessed Immediately after
the war. The reduction of taxation
in the six years following July l3,
1866 amounted to over three million
dollars, and with even this reduc-
ton of taxation, the national debt
was so reduced that saving Of twen-
ty million interest, annually result
ed. What Is there in this that the
Democracy which stole the treasury
hare fourteen years ago, want to re-
form? Is it that they think the
treasury IL getting too plethoric and
needs depletion ? They are amply

Gates, the anti-monop candidate
for Congress in this district, whose
party's vaunted battle-cry is, "let
the Office seek the man." will
have some trouble to explain why
not being delegate, he happened to
be ut the convention ready to re-
spond, in well-feigned surprise, to
the call of his name after his hercul-
can work and intriguing had result
ed in his nomination. It appears
that Providence not only raised him
up to rebuke horde Of office.seek-
ing politicians, bat he also sent hin,
to Ottumwa to wrest Congressional
nomination whose predilection was
plainly not favorable to him in the
outset. Why did he seek an office
which above all others should seek
the man, and which most certainly
would never have sought him.

In a recent speech Gates said

"Fellow citizens, to illustrate the
corruption Of the Republican party,
I will call your attention to the fact
that under the soil OF the United
States, there is iron enough to girt
the globe at least eight times, but it
lies there dormant and useless. Ana
why: Because the Republican par
ty has put the tariff on the importa-
ton of iron from England 80 high,
that the American people cannot az
ford to develop our iron mines"
Does the man mean "iron enongh
to girt the globe at least eight times"
with telegraph wire or railroad bars,
or steam boilers, or Anti -Monop
rings, or what does the old mo-
nopolist mean?
Again, in consequence Of the high
tariff on iron, the American people
cannot afford to develop our iron
mines" Here is certainly new
idea. Give Gates credit for an origi-
nal thought. Noother fool, though
wayfaring man, would ever have
thought Of high tariff placing an en-
barge upon American industry.
! Tally one fer Gates.

FROM the Osksloosa Herald.
A Shirk.

Mr., Gates, in his speeches, blows
somewhat aboutthe legislation need
ed in Congress, and intimates that he
is the man to send for that purpose.
He is prominent Granger and was
one OF the committee of twelve ap-
pointed by the State Grange Con-
vention last winter, underline follow
ing high-fiown resolution
"Resolred, That committee of
twelve be appointed by this Con-
vention on memorializing the Gen.
Eeral Assembly of the State of Iowa.
Said committee shall indicate the
kind of tariff bill that will meet the
approval Of this body"
Mr.. Gates was one of the commit
tee, and it will be remembered how
that committee shirked the issue
squarely when the Senate called on
them for their views. They then
saw what ON elephant they had on
hands, and refused to to take respon-
sibility in the name of the Grange
for the framing of such a law. A few
members Of the committee gave
their private views Of the matter,
but as body, the committee shirked
completely. Have you any assur-
ance that Gates will do any better II
you send him to Congress If he
continues to shirk the responsible
ties Of action, he will make poor
representative Of the people in that
body. Whoever heard OF Sampson
shirking? No one. From the time
he held the plow in Washington Tp.,
Keokuk Co., through the war, on
the bench, everywhere, Sampson has
dared to do right and take the re-
sponsibility.

The Abba Union gives this report
of Gov. Stones speech at that place
some weeks since: "The Governor
gave the Democrats cold comfort
told. them that the Democratic party
was not whit better than the Re-
publican and it must be allowed to
die.
"He spoke of the Republican gov
ernment in terms Of praise, and OF
Gov. Carpenter particularly as an
upright man and an excellent officer.
He said he knew Judge Sampson
well, and thought him to be an hon
est, upright man and the best Dist
rict Judge in the State.
"Some old Democrat who sat in
front Of the speaker interrupted him
with, I" FELL us something about the
useless offices in Iowa." The Gov.
replied that he could not do that as
the utility of the different Offices
was a matter OF opinion. and he had
Just spoken of the government OF
Iowa as being model.
"The speech, as a. whole, seemed
to fall like a, wet blanket upon the
little squad of Aunties who heard 1t,
and the speaker himself seemed bor-
cd and ashamed of his position. No
doubt he feels very different from
what he did when he was helping TO
organize the party he is now trying

pies Of right. Goodbye, Governor,

The Democrat endeavons to create
the belief that the report Of Mr..
Gates speech which we copied last
week from the Centerviils Citizen was
only . pretended report. We feel
assured that Gov. Walden, the
editor Of the Citizen would not give
place in his columns to report
materially unfair. We have always
found the Citizen candid and truth
fua Having heard one attempt at

feel warranted in assuring our read
ers that the report (which assumed
to be only synopsis, although taken
by short hand reporter) did no Sc.

f. n. Gates addressed respectable
audience in this city on Saturday last
and succeeded in convincinga large
portion of his audience that he
would make a very small Congress
man. A large portion Of those who,
listened to him were Republicans, and
80 far as we have learned, he has
succeeded in making every one a
firm Sampson man. If Gates does as
well all over the district as he has

The Bloomfield Democrat Is no

The Bloomfield Democrat Is now
sugaring around for grange votes,
and Tim o. Walker, the editor,
claims to be one of the fathers of the
anti.monop movement. He was
Secretary Of their State and Con-
gressi0nal Conventions, and big
fish generally in their puddle. In
fact he would make them believe
that all the rest are tad-poles and he
a whale. The Ottumwa Courier un-
earths the following choice bit Of lit
erature' that appeared in Tins pa
per OF Aug. 7, 1873:
"ALH this grange business Is only a
farm esss strike Three fourths. OF
them too. In debt to the merchants
and talking about trading on a cash
basis. How practical is this; beg
gars- on high strike for prices,
when then they have nothing to sell.
begRars on strike for low prices
when they have no money to spend.
Who is running this thing :?
Hackneyed politicians, hun
cry place hunters-playsd out"
preachers and horse doctors. How
can we expect such men to strike a
blow, where ii will do the most
good, and to succeed with such as
sets as those managed by SO small q

for votes and support. VIII he get
it ? From many of them, yes. From
sensible ones, no.-OskdtoOsn HeTatd.

Knowing as we do, that the Dem
cratic party is not dead, we do not
seek to delude the people or entice
them with false promises that we
will abandon our Democratic ideas.
We act with the Anti i-Monopolists
because that organization is in oppo-
sition to the Republican party, and
its principles are essentially Demo-
cratic. Yet we do not seek to de-
ceive or put on hypocrital garb or
play the postum Ott,tmUa Demo
crat.
Precisely, brother Evans. From
the beginning ,ce have published a
Democratic paper. We supported
Greeley in 1872 as Democrats. We
worked for the Liberal and Anti
Monopoly ticket in 1873 as good
Democrat, and We'll be and remain
Democrat still, and be proud of it
to the last. We have never advoca.
ted the organization of new party
! to replace the old Democratic party,
and We sincerely hope we never
shall. We have never believed the
Democratic party dead nor dying,
and now we knoU 1t is more vigorous
than ever. We have only been sim
cere and honest in our views, while
we have not played the part ofa pol
icy man. The man that to-day IN
sists that Democracy is dead is simply
a fool, without regard to present po-
litical affiliations or sentiments. 1t
lives to-day in all of its original pur-
ity, increased strength and rising
grandeur. For nearly three years
we have stood unwavering in its de.
fence and stronger admirer OF its
principles than ever, and time is fast
demonstrating that speedy return
TO its principles is the only sure way
| to secure the future welfare and hap
piness of a great nation. May the
Almighty Architect of the Universe
hasten that glorious day, is the pray
or of one Democratic editor who Is
not ashamed of his party's past his.

have called county convention,
basing the call upon declaration of
"principles," announcing their conf
dence in the ability of the Democrat
ic party Of the Nation to work all
needed reforms in our government
boasting of Democratic victories IN
the Southern States and the healthy
vigor of the Democracy everywhere"
declaring that they "deem it de-
sirabie that the Democracy Of old
Democratic Fremont be prepared by
thorough and efficient organization
to take an active part in the cam

bad results Of Radical rule can only

lesson of this call is that the Demo-
