Words of Warning.
Suggestions to Observation-Disclosures.
New York Tribune. I


To see ourselves as others see us-how diff
cult it is, at times! If the honest Greenback
voters in Maine could only see themselves,
just now, precisely as they appear to sensible
men of both parties elsewhere, there would be
a slender vote for the Fusion ticket next
month. II they could realize the wonder of
men who used to stand with them for the
Union cause in trying times, if they could hear
the chuckling of old-fashioned Copperheads
and unrepentant rebels-who are still fighting,
with Wade Hampton, for ''the cause for which
Lee and Jackson fought four years"-there
would surely be fewer votes in Maine to please
the solid South next month. Too few to please
them there doubtless will be. But not o vote
would be cast this year by any old Union man
in Maine against the Republican ticket, if he
could see himself as others see him.
There was a time when the Greenback voter
in Maine could feel that he was fighting ON
the skirmish. line for new party, possibly des-
tined to be victorious. His beliefs, we think,
were mistaken. But there were thousands of
voters there who held those beliefs honestly
and strove for them hopefully. How is 1t
now? Democracy has completely. .extlnguisned
that party at the South, not by argument as
Republicans would try to meet it, but by force
and fraud Alabama tells the story. So long
as there is only one party tolerated at the
south. there will never be two parties oppos-
inc If mt the North. Loyal men are not idiots.
The soldiers of free speech are not going to cut
each others throats while the defenders of sla-
very and rebellion look on and laugh and win.
That thing will not happen. Until new
party can get decent hearing and an honest
count at the South, there can be no new party.
Cannot the Gfeenbaek voter see, as everybody
else sees, that the false counting, which burles
Greenback arguments in the solid South also
warns the loyal, peace-loving and freedom
loving voters of the North to lcok ont for
themselves?
There was time, too, when the Greenback
voter in Maine might feel that hard times
needed some remedy, which new party only

This is very rsmarka BILE statement. The
customs receipts for the year 1889 were only
$137, ,260,04S. During the first quarter of the
year now reported the receipts increased about
81 millions, and the Secretary of the Treasury
deemed it safe in December last, when five
months of the fiscal year had expired to esti-
mate the total customs yield OF the year at 152
millions, an increase of 12a millions. The ac-
tual receipts have exceeded even this enlarged
estimate by 345I millions. The sum now re-
ported is larger than that of any year except
the four years ended June 30, 1878, and is but 30
millions below. the maximum. 1t is not so
easy to make comparison of internal revenue
receipts, because while the tariff has been sub
stantially unchanged there have been frequent
reductions of excise taxes. Yet the amount
now reported is an increase of ten per cent.
upon the receipts of the preceding year, and is
larger than that of any year since 1873. On
the side of expenditures the only important
changes are these: Owing to the new law re-
latinglto pension arrears.the expenditure under
that head has increased 21a millions, and is
nearly twice as great as that for any year ex-
cepting 1901 and 1889. The navy depart
ment has saved so much that the total expen-
diture is smaller than for any other year since
the war began, and % ! less than that of 1856
1928, or 1859. The interest on the public debt
has likewise decreased more than 81 millions,
in spite of the fact that three months interest
additional was required to be paid on all bonds
called in and refunded during the year.
Democratic orators have constantly asserted
and the national platform of the party repeats,
! that Congress has reduced the expenditures Of
the government forty million dollars a year.
1t is falsehood. The official figures show it
to be so. The following table shows what
have been the net ordinary expenditures of
the government during the last ten years, and
also the interest paid in each year, with the
sum of the two We divide the period at the
point where the Democratic party first became
partially responsible for the expenditures:

New YORK Times: The editor of the
Democratic organ ut the capital does rot
appear to take a hopeful view of the Fusion
prospects in Maine. He thinks that the
Democrats, after accepting Greenback can
didates all around, are not likely to get
much help from Greenback votes, which is
quite exaspera'ing. When party ellis it.
self so cheerfully it is provoking not to get
the price stipulated for. The Washington
editor affects to be quite amazed that the
Greenbackers are not eager for the election
of Hancock, when they have Presidential
candidate of their own and nothing to hope
for as party but destruction from Demo-
cratic success; but he has peculiar way of
encouraging them to be faithful to their
bargain when he heaps contempt on their
national leaders, derides their pretensions.
and reminds them that if Hancock is elected
they will be whisked off the Democratic
flank like an annoying fly from a restive
horse. Possibly they are not such fools as
to fail to realize what their fate would be in
such an improbable contingency, and why
should they be expected to help bring about
their own destruction?

An examination of this table will show that
the assertion is not true in any possible way.
The lowest point to which the Democrats re-
duced expenditures was only $50, ,400, 600 below
the point where they were left by the Repub-
licans. The average expenditure during the
six years of Republican control was S170, 1885,
S2S, and that of the last four years is $153044,-
633-a reduction of but III millions. And if
comparison be made between the last year of
Republican control and the year that has Just
expired, it will be found that the aggregate
economy Of the Democratic party becomes
minus quantity. 1t spent seven millions more
in 1880 than the Republicans spent in 1876
eighteen and half millions more than in 1872,
and but 224 millions less than the heaviest ex-
penditure in any year since 1868. In the in
terest account, however, which has had nei-
ther help nor hindrance from sthe Democratic
party, the reduction in ten years has been
close upon thirty millions, and during the cur
rent year an addition of ten millions or more
will be made. The Democratic claim is pre-
tentious fraud, while the economy effected by
refunding is q palpable fact. If it had not
been for the excellent administration of the
several departments, bringing the actual ex-
penditures far within the appropriations, the
exhibit would have been even more unfavor
able to the Democratic Congress than it ac-
tually is.

The renewed energy of the Democratic
party is bat the spasmOdic effort that
presages death. From this national
struggle it will fall back, n defeated, dis
cOrdnnt and hopeless minority. The hope
of federal patronage gone, its local su-
prcInacies cannot long be maintained.
This is TO be desired, for the way to cur
rency reform lies across the grave of the
Democratic party. To enter its ranks is
to take its name. 10 take its name is to
assume the vindication of its evil past.-
