DEMOCRATIC FRUIT
"BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW
THEM"

THEM.
The bedrock Of Democracy is Cop
position to Capitalization" A man is
a Democrat because he is opposed to
the interference Of the general gov
eminent in local affairs, it matters not
how poWerless the local authorities
may be to keep the peace and protect
the citizens Of the United States in
the free exercises of their constitu-
tional rights.
A man is a Democrat, not because
he loves the state more, but because
he loves the nation less. And being a
Democrat, it is perfectly natural that
he should look with complacency if
not with satisfaction upon every at
tempt to cripple the general govern
ment, and to render it's most whole
some laws imperative.
AS an illustration of the effect this
Democratic doctrine has to suppress
all sense of loyalty, and all respect for
national law in a community where
the democracy is wholly in the ascend
ent, we quote the following from the
Messenger, published at Winston,
North Carolina, dated May %, 1880:
"TWo important documents appear
in the late record of public affairs at
Washington. One of these is a vol
ume sent by the Secretary Of the
Treasury to the House Of Representa-
tlVes, giving extensive information
concerning the vast amount of illicit
dlstlllation Of spirits carried on in va
rlous parts Of the country. The es-
Establishments at which this unlawful
work has been going on are numbered
6y thousands. In one year alone they
defrauded the government of more
than four millions of dollars. 1t is
astonishing to knoW-as we do know
to some extent, living in the midst Of
lt-What an enormous amount of this
laWless Whiskey-making is done around
US. And it is still more astounding
for we speak Of it as moral question
slmply-to know how the moral sense
OF a whole community, including
many OF its better people, can be SO
blunted that they will sustain (not
only passively, but actively those en-
gagged in these fraudulent transactions.
Men who would not defraud neigh
Dor are ready to aid in defrauding the
government under which they live,
and think 1t no harm. It is time for
the conscience Of the community to be
brought up to recognize the fact that
fraud is fraud, and is a sin and dis
grace, whether its victim be man,
corporation, or a nation. .

The Union of last week says: " 1t
is to be hoped that in the coming cam
paign-noW that the candidates are
fairly in the ield-that the politicians
and press will mot resort to a system
of Billingsgate and Safeguarding, but
content themselves with discussing
fully and earnestly the great principles
which these men so placed in nomina-
ton are supposed to represent" This
is precisely the kind of a campaign we
have been advocating all the time; but
the idea never seemed to strike the
Democrats until they had cleaned out
their last ditch and thrown the accu-
mutation of twenty years upon the
head and shoulders Of Garfield during
the interval between the two great
conventions. No sooner do the Dem
ocrats get a man Of their own into the
field, however, than a disposition is
manifested to discuss principles more
and men less. While we have kept
out of the filth so far, and design
keeping out of it in the future, there
is, nevertheless, mud in the air, and
we are pleased to note that the Union
proposes to keep its hands clean.

AN ORIENTAL TRAVELLER describes
this busy scene, witnessed on historic
shores. "Our steamer landed on a
beach which was the port of Antioch,
where the disciples were first called
Christians. There was no town at the
waters edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and the merchandise
were put ashore in lighters, which ran
up into the sand. A troop of camels,
with their drivers, lay on the beach,
ready to transfer the goods into the in

were boxes marked DIR. j. C. AVER s.

that they contained medicines and

The National Republican Committee
now in session in New York will elect
q chairman to-day Since the refusal
Of Senator Cameron to accept, the
chances are that either Marshall Jew
ell or William E. Chandler will be

credit to the party and bring us sue

The question is asked here frequent
ly, Will General Hancock resign his
position in the army, pending the COM
Ing election" I think there is no diff
fculty in answering it. General Scott,
when nominated for the same office,
did not resign, neither did General
Grant before his election. There is
precedent enough to warrant General
Hancock in keeping his position. But
the fact of the Generals holding his
present commission shows that neither
he nor his friends are at all sure of
| the result next fall. Were he to resign
now it would give his friends and the
Democrats a confidence of his election
they 10 not feel. But the General
thinks bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush, and has no idea of giving
up a life position just to inspire his
supporters with little confidence, and
then be defeated and left out altogeth.
| er. f
General Hancock is popular in the
South in fact, it is almost wholly due
/ to the efforts Of Southern delegates
that he was nominated. We all know
this popularity is due to his friendly
attitude towards the law breakers in
Louisiana and Texas in 1867. When
Tilden ran in 1876, he found it neces.
sary, in order to gain the confidence of
northern independents, to pledge him.
self to oppose the payment Of Confed-
crate claims. He immediately became
very unpopular in the South. [ sue.
gest that Hancock, as the Democrats
are running a Union soldier campaign
should pledge himself in the same
manner as Tilden did, Even if such
action failed to give him popularity
among Northern Independents, il
would be sufficient to show up the real
intentions of the South in case Han
cock should be elected. I think his
popularity, after such an act, would be
at an end in the South.
The report from the Signal Office
here for June shows, unexpectedly to
most of our citizens, that the temper

than that for some other years. The
mean temperature was 40 81 min.
which was 50 6 min.lower than in 1878

WASHINGTON, July 2, 1880.

The Democratic newspapers, TAKING
their cue from the CINCINNATI plat.
form, are having a great deal to say
about the economy inaugurated by the
Congress lately adjourned. One Of the
plankS Of the Cincinnati platform con.
graduates the country upon 'the hon.
esty and thrift of the Democratic
Congress which has reduced the pub.
lie expenditure $40,000,000 a year."
What are the facts? The Wash.
ington correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald has taken the trouble tocOllect
the official statements for the last five
years of Republican rule and the ex-
penditures for the years since the
Democrats have had charge of the
legislative affairs of the government,
The contrasting figures are worthy the
attention OF every thoughtful man, of
every taxpayer. They anew attest
the magnificent quality Of the work
OF the Republican party, and prove
that the Democracy reckons without
the figures when it sets up superior
claims as an economist" For the
fiscal year ending June 3Oth, 1871, the
expenditure was 1892, IT. 1925: for
1872, S377,517, 962.67; for 1873, $780,
845,245.53; for 1874, $2S7,133, 873.17:
for 1876, $274,323, 382.84, and for 1876.
$256,459,797.33. Thus, in five years an
annual reduction of expenditures
amounting to $33,717, $780, 2 has been
accomplished under Republican man
agement, and this, too, during years at
the close of the war for which the
Democratic party owes the country
over S6,000,000,000, when there were
naturally many expenses directly Incl
dental to it. Now we reach the era
Of Brigadiers, and what is the result?
For the fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
1877, 1888, ,00S.63; for 1873, 1885,
964,326.60; for 1879, $266,947 1888
for 1880, $297,860,237.17, and for 1881
the amount appropriated is 1921, 423,-
$3.50. For the present fiscal year the
sum Of $6,424,012, was appropriated,
and next winter there is every indica-
ton that it will be even greater for the
expenses of the year ending June 3Oth,
1881. The amount in reason will then
at least be for 1881 1921, S47, 10000.
Thus the Democrats, after five years
OF manipulation Of the government
treasury, will have reached a figure of
S39,38S, 1O3.57 in government expense
in excess of that of the last year of
Republican rule. 1t is very near the
amount named in the platform. I'm
fortunately for the Democrats, the
figures are on the other side of the
page. 1t shows that they have in
creased the costof government to that
amount, instead Of diminishing It,"
The above figures disposes of the false
claim of the Democratic platform of

pretension, [ copy the following from

Respectfully submitted to the Maine
patriots, the Indiana judges, and the

ertion.'
The true Interpretation of the Dem
ocratic theory is, "Absolute freedom
for rife clubs and red shirt rufians at
the polls, and no interference with
ballot-box suffers and tissue-ticket
operators" as illustrated in the late
elections at the south and by their
breaking up Republican ratification
meeting an Montgomery, Alabama,
last week. So strong is the faith of
the southern Democrat in the right of
such a course that, instead Of con-
demning such course, against the
clear right of every citizen to express
his views, that the Democratic press
Of that locality advise the Republicans
to refrain from making any demon
strations toward exercising their po-
litical rights, as it will cause trouble
by arousing the determination Of the
southern leaders that there shall be a
solid south for Hancock and English.
The charge that General Garfield
was dishonorably connected with the
affairs Of the District of Columbia is
fully answered in a letter by I. NJ.
Wilson, chairman of the committee
who made the investigation, written
in August, 1874.
The facts disclosed by the evidence,
SO far as Gen. Garfield is concerned,
are briefly these"
"The Board of Public Works was
considering the question as to the kind
of pavement that should be laid.
There was contest as to the respect
i've merits Of various wooden pave
ments. Mr.. Parsons represented, as
attorney, the De Golyer and Nc
Clelland patent, and, being called
away from Washington about the time
the hearing was to be held before the
Board of Public Works on this SUBJ
ject, procured Gen. Garfield to appear
before the Board in his stead and ar
que the merits of this patent. This he
did. and this was his whole connection
in the matter. 1t was not a question
as to the kind of contract that should
be made, but as to whether this par.
ticular kind of pavement should be
laid. The criticism Of the committee
was not upon the Placement in which
Gen. Garfield argued, but was upon
the contract made with reference to it,
and there was no evidence which
would warrant the conclusion that he
had anything to do with the latter.
Very respectfully, ETC.,
I. M. WILSON.
Messrs. De Golyer and McClelland
never paid one cent to Gen. Garfield.
They paid their attorney, Mr.. Parsons,
the amount agreed upon between them,
and Mr.. Parsons paid Gen. Garfield for
his legal services rendered in arguing
the case before the Board Of Public
Works.

that Gen. Hancock is the leader of the
