GENERALIZATION.

The Journal, in IT'S Tuesdays issue, talks
with the eruditlon of an owl about central
izstion. Evidently the Journal believes that
it has demolished DR.. De La Matyr ana the
democratic party with its bludgeon OF straw,
and inundated them with its thimblefun OF
Cruel. The Journal is always as luminous
as foxfre when it gets upon the subject of
finance. It is then that it scintlllates like
the tail of lightning bug and crowns itself
with halo of light equal to the best efforts
of glow worm. In the article
referred to, we evidently have the grandest
production of the Journals brain in its best
phosphorized condition, when all the cleo
trio currents were in full flow. and great
constitutional problems were solved with a
rapidity and ease calculated to excite the
admiration of all the Illiputan RAIDS who
political dishwater DR.. De La Matyr, we
are pleased to know, is giving the Journal a
great deal of trouble. If that Shylock organ
had boil on its nose, stye on each eye,
and corns on all of its toes, it could hardly
play tricks more fantastic than those which
it daily exhibits for the delectation of
a fun loving public. 1t has at last
struck Capitalization" and wrestles with it
vigorously. and as result we have a beauti-
full illustration of the tabled mountain that
after a sort of an earthquake labor brought
forth a mouse. We congratulate the Jour-
nal. Its capacity for producing mice arti-
cles rs simply wonderful. Several OF the
lively little creatures appear in every issue,
and the Capitalization" mouse Is a fair
specimen of the Journals capacity in that
line. DIR. be La Matyr is charged with a
purpose of having greenbacks issued by the
government to take the place of
national bank currency, and this is
denounced as dangerous to the rights of
states and the liberties of the people. The
Journal, it should be understood, is Shy
lock organ. and favors any policy that robs
the people and puts money into the pockets
of Shylocks. 1t is rational bank organ,
and favofs centralizing power in the hands
of bankers, money sharks and bondholders.
With this fact kept in view it Will be readily
understood why the Journal opposes green
back currency, which is emphatically the

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The democratic party is coming into power
pledged TO reform in the expenditures of the
government. Since it gained control of the
house of representatives it has to the utmost
of its ability redeemed every pledge, and
after the 4th of March next when the senate
becomes democratic, expenditures will be
reduced to the lowest consistent figures.
1t is worthy of remark that the
radical leaders, when the demo-
cratic party commenced its system
of retrenchment, set up a thieving howl
eminent. But when the reductions are
made every lying means is resorted to
make it appear that they amount to little
or nothing and that the democracy of the
country is deserving no credit for having
incorporated them into the legislation of
congress But the people are to be no
longer hoodwinked by the radical organs
and conspiraters. The records show that
in the two sessions of the Forty-fourth and
one session of the Forty-ffth congress, cover
ing three years, the democratic house has
cut down the appropriations compared with
those made by the republicans for the
three preceding years, SSS. go. 236.47i
That's something to boast of. But it does
not tell the whole story, for this great re-
duction was not as great as was demanded
by the democratic house, but only repre-
sents the concessions that the house was
able to secure from protesting republican
senate. If the bills had become laws as
they passed the house there would have
been a saving of $t43, 706 OO3. AZ The re-
publican senate added over $5l, 900, 900 to
the house bills against the protests of the
democratic house, but there was no alterna-
tive but to accept the increase or see the
appropriation bills fail, and necessitate an
extra session of congress.
Here are facts derived from official sources
that can moi be covered up or lied down.
They stand out and stand up and challenge
criticism. The people will be likely to heed
the lessons they teach. and vote accordingly

situation, walking from place to place, ask
ing here and there for aid, who will
suffer the most from the enactment of
law which bears neither the imprint
OF civilization nor humanity upon its face. 1t
is cruel in its DEGREES, severe in its punish
ments, capable of doing much harm, and
not binding to the shrewd In its restrictions.
1t will neither catch nor punish many
tramps. They will hide behind the mask of
workIngmen, and when they can not lie
themselves out of danger will steal, rob,
murder, doing anything rather than work
or starve. The tramp is fixed fact in
our country, his treatment puzzle. h nos
sible extinction thing of the future. But
he will scarcely be reformed or removed by
laws similar to that referred to. The crea-
lures of misfortune and poverty will suffer
by them. but the professional tramps, the
ones most obnoxious, will flourish and null
tlply, their tricks serving them when hon.
esty and suffering would but fasten convic-
ton on better men.

asserted, as an automatic truth in business.
that when an individual or a country sells
more than it purchases, prosperity is the
inevitable consequence. But radical rule in
this country has had the effect to completely
upset old and established theories of bust
ness, and compel the most profound think
ers upon political economy to hesitate be-
fore giving their conclusions to the public.
Mr.. Nimmo's tables. with the we'll estab-
lished facts relating to the condition of
business in the United States, compel the
conclusion that when imports were large
and exports comparatively light, the coun-
try was enjoying a degree of prosperity
almost, if not entirely, unparalleled: and it
is equally true and as easily demonstrated
that when the tables were turned, and exports
exceeded imports, the general condition of
business affairs in the United States became
disastrous to an extent never before expert
enced, and the business record of the coun-
try is conclusive that as imports declined
and exports increased the gloom that en-
shrouds business in the United States be.
came more and more depressing. Before
cal Shylock curse of contraction, exports
were less. because more was consumed at
home imports were large, because the peo-
pie being at work and prosperous had means
with which to purchase foreign commodi-
ties. But when contraction had accomplished
its devilish mission the people had no money
wherewith to purchase domestic products of
g. l. Al
They. could not purchase foreign
goods, hence they did not come into
the country, and this state of affairs
is what Shylocks and their organs call con-
dition of prosperity. For several years past
our exports have exceeded our imports and
ing in favor OF the United States and during
these years business has been depressed,
business men have been going into bank
ruptcy by thousands, failures multiplied on
every hand, property shrank in value fully
one-half, idleness increased from the center
to the circumference of the country, conf
dence fled the marts of trade, capital was
Withdrawn from ali legitimate investments,
and ruin was to be seen on every hand. 1t
matters little how cheap food products were
offered, the poor were out of employment
and out of money, and had to go hun
CRY. 1t was of little consequence to
what extent clothing was reduced in
price, the poor having no employment and
no money were compelled to go in rags. Still
exports were larger and increasing And
now, while Mr.. Nimmo's tables are being
commented upon as evidences of prosperity,
there are Thousands of people out of en-
ployment who can not purchase bread for
themselves and families. Evidently bal
ance of trade in favor of the United States
is not all that is wanted to restore pros
perity. A condition of business affairs is
demanded which will enable the people to
obtain employment, and be able to purchase
more of the necessities of life.. A large bal
ance of trade in our favor, with thousands
of the people clamoring for bread, may be
a Shylock idea of prosperity, but it does not
suit the people.

From time to time it has been the duty as
well as the pleasure of the Sentinel to make
the Journal squeal like rat with its tail in
trap or a pig with its snout inextricably
mixed up with rail fence. During the dull
season when operas operate at distance,
when the circus season is over, when, negro
minstrels have divided losses and disappear
ed from the boards, and at intervals between
John Hannas wind performances and Ben
Harrisons diatribes on idiots, In which he
shows himself to be the chief Of financial
lunatics, it Is delectable to have squealing
performance by the Journal. Generally as
prelude to the squeal, the Shylock organ
is sullen; puts on airs; swells like the
fool frog that envied the OK his splendid
avoirdupoise, hoofs, horns and fly brushes,
but all of this is simply preliminary to the
squeal which is sure TO come-sometimes
gently, but always distinct; at other times
rising in sonorous grandeur, constituting
a squeal unlike all other squeals, squaks or
creaks known to man or beast. The
squeal in yesterdays Journal was
in all regards characteristic, though we are
of the opinion that it isslightly more savage
than average. 1t evidences a degree of pain
calculated to excite commiseration. But a
few tears thrown in here and there are not
Objectionable; IN fact they give zest to the
hilarIty and applause certain to follow when
the performance assumes ludIcrous phase
In the case we are now disposng of the fun
of the thing appears in the fact that the
Journal got larruped for the sins OF sRothe
sheet whose utterances 1t sucked in like a
syringe, and then squirted out for the pur-
pose of injuring Dr. De La Matyr. There is
a maxim that "the receiver of stolen goods
lis as bad as the thief" and another that
persons who repeat ISLANDERS make them
selves responsible for them. This is the d.
lemma in which the Journal has placed it.
self, and for which the Sentinel administer
ed a moderate castIgation.
If the Journal in future noses around in
the cutters for Jumps of nastiness with which
to..load up its mud batteries it will be sub
jected to the Sentinels lash, as has been our
practice hitherto. If the Journal is DESTROYS
of reformation and would escape punish
ment, it must cease lying itself, and estab-
lish the rule that it Will not publish lies
coined by others. Should we notice an
earnest desire to heed our advice, it will be
our pleasure to extend to it the considera-
ton due penitent rad. II, however, the
Journal continues TO indorse, directly or
tacItly, lying ISLANDERS against DIR. De La
Matyr or any other democratic nominee, the
Sentinel will be compelled to make 1t squesl,
in the interest of truth aud respectable jour
nalism.

In many portions of Ireland the outlook
is gloomy for the farmers. who express them
selves in complaints and fears. The potatoes
are threatened with that old enemy, the
potato disease, and from the reports from all
over the country its attacks seem wide
spread. The cold rains of the first weeks of
summer, added to the heavy storms of Au-
gust have brought on the rot, and 1t is be-
lieved that the entire crop will be lost. The
wheat has also been so BADLY affected by the
rot that it is believed one-half the crop will
not be worth gathering But the rye, barley
and oats look well, and no trouble is antici-
pated about them. 1t Is the potato that is
the most closely watched, and the loss OF
which falls heaviest on the people, for it is
literally the food of the land.
