REPUBLICAN BULLDOZING.

The newspapers generally are ex-
planning the wonderful and fearful
construction of the Republican ballots
sn the late Massachusetts, election
The New York World describes them
as being printed on heavy card board
of several colors. and altogether as far
beyond the ordinary ballots as they
were above the ordinary resour-
ces Of any ordinary printing Office
Thus it was practicable for every en-
ployer to know how his employees vo-
ted. Concealment was utterly impos.
eible, and when the employers gave
their operatives an opportunity Of
knowing that they "advised" them to
vote the Republican ticket, they knew
what it ment when they saw the ballot
if not before.
The back Of the ballot is printed in
alternate red and white stripes, SO that
cancelment was utterly impossible
This shows how "Butler was laid out.

osities, and it has been placed in one

added to expenses in course of trade,
to keep the Pacific Coast states in q

Again the social condition of..this Pa

They treat their women as brutes
who are bought and sold for the ba-
sest purposes known to man, and, most
horribly to relate, are mutilated and
depraved before leaving their native
land, that they may be rendered ba

The laboring white men of the Pa

deadly in earnest, and declare that the
American Minister to China is mon

The worst feature of the whole bu-
'iness is that people can be found In
this land of Christian charity and en-.

for the sake Of currying favor with a
rev, avery few, grasping monopolists.

WHERE ARE THEY MOTT

where is the contraction of values aud
the general bankruptcy which the soft
money organs predicted would attend the
approach OF resumption?-U Cleveland Her.
The Cincinnati Enquirer makes the
following reply:
First, as to the general bankruptcy.
A few years ago throughout the era
of abundant currency. the numbers
of failures averaged but five hundred
and thirty-fve in all the United States
for several consecutive years. During
one year, 1868, they numbered but
four hundred and ninety-fve. In the
following year they were but five hun
dred and twenty. During the next
year they were but $50, and in 1868,
after the policy of contraction had
been bugun, but before its effects were
much felt, there were but 632 failures
in the United States. The number
of failures does not always indicate &C
curately the amount of liabilities in
volved, or the consequent suffering
The aggregate liabilities in the fail:
ures of 1868 were but 81, ,S99, ,000.-
In 1864 they were only $8,579, 600
In the next year they amounted te
$40, ,333, 900. In 1865 the policy O.
contraction began. The vicious finan
cial legislation followed, including thu
Resumption Act. Step by step a.
this policy was pursued the bank
ruptcy and distress increased. In 18
rs the number of failures in one yea
had increased from 495 TO 7,404, ant
the liabilities involved had grown from
| $7,O0O,O 900 to $195, 900, 900, an in
crease of twenty-eight hundred Pc
cent. During the last fiscal year th'
number of failures were nearly thre'
times as many thousands as they wer'
formerly hundreds, and the aggregate
liabilities have swelled more than thir
ty three times. This is the cold emo
tionless, statistical evideuce of the fac
that the general bankruptcy whicl
was predicted as the reeult os the vi
cious financial legislation, actual,
came to pass. If the editor of tn
Herald cares to go further in hi
search for evidence, he can not walk
block in his city of Clevelrnd with
out passing home that has been fill
ed with anguish, or from which hop
and pride, and sometimes bread an,
butter, have been crually swept ava.
by one of those bankruptcies! Mul
tiply the agony caused by that singl
failure into about fifteen thousand, an,
follow them into all the diverging av
enues of misery they cause, and SOM
of the fruits of this policy will b
seen that seem to have escaped the ey
of the Cleveland Herald.
