There is little doubt that in the

The only change that the people
demand, judging from the way they
vote, is the death of the Democrat

of British free traders who try to
cheat people by pretending to be

Has it the Republican party
any other objects than to hold on

and to give the Blaine crowd a
chance TO thrust their arms elbow
deep into the National Treasury?
Last winter this same free-trade

many hundred times, to declare
that the Republicans had an object
which they pursued with zeal and

can we Safely Make n Change!

During the eight years of An
drew Jackson's administration the
government collected a revenue OF
1855, ,1S2, 1915, of which s5.63 out
of every 81, 900, or a total of ST.
412, ,3S7,62 was stolen by dishonest
officials. This same administration
disbursed 1928, ,546, ,Oi9.4l, Of which
s1O.3l ont of every $1,000, or a
total of 81, ,3O6, 1854 was stolen.
In Martin Van Buren's admins
tration OF four years, Sl37,O94,'
43S. "a we're disbursed at an average
cost in stealings of S2l.l5 IN every
1000, or a total of S2,S99, ,653.oi.
Uunder Franklin Pierce, who seems
TO have had the honest set OF
democratic ofiice.holders that could
be procured, as the rate of robbery
in his time was lower than under
any other democratic president,
1886, ,638, ,8S5.65 we're disbursed, at
loss of 1886 per $1,000, or a total
of sI,674,S52.64. Uunder the seven
democratic presidents from Jack
son to Buchanan, inclusive, the
average rate of robbery in making
disbursements was fraction more
than SlO.22 per 1000. The aver
age rate in making collections was
something less, being abOat $2.l4
in every $1,000.
If the democrats succeed in the
present canvass, and carry on their
steaIings at the same average rate
which they can safely be relied
on to d0-the government will be
robbed of S3.1G4, 4,42O.30 every four
years in collecting its revenues, and
S14,l55, $685. ,3s in disbursing them.
Under President Arthur the total
loss from this cause has been in
, collecting, S2,96l ,62, and in dis
bursting Sl,920.7j. These figures
are reliable, and can be verified by
the ledgers of the treasury. In
themselves they must appeal very
strongly to good sense of every
voter. Taken in connection with
the fact that the treasury was al
ways, OF nearly always, in distress
during democratic times, and that
the opportunities for stealing were
no: then nearly so ample as they
are now, and they are vastly more
suggestive. Then it is to be re-
membered that the democratic
party has been ont of power for
twcnty.four years and is very
hungry. III it gets the chance, 1t
is fair toexpect it will greatly IN
crease its best record in this re-
spect. The $4,000 expectant Office
holders have very deep and very
empty pockets. The party doctrine
Is that the victOrs are entitled tC
the spoils. The s4OO,0OO,OOO now
in the treasury, where it can be ap
piled to the payment of the natlona
debt, the pensions due our wounded
and disabled soldiers and thell
widows and orphans, the defense
ofour vast stretch of sea coast, thu
building and equipment OLA navy
or to the current expenses OF tb'
government, is safe in presen
hands, the people know. Judged
fairly by the record, without on'
particle of party fee ling or preju
dice, would it be equally safe il
democratic hands? Do the people
want to take the chances of
change? ? Is it not much safer Il
make sure that well enough is le

ing better?

Cleveland is not merely guilty OF
a youthful fault,-he is a confirmed
debauchee and roue. In his recent
letter to the Rev. DR.. Muller, Rev.
DR.. Ball, of Buffalo, says;
"a written summary of the evil
dence has been reviewed by able
counsel and pronounced surprising

of the ministers of Buffalo, after
hearing the summary read, do not
hesitate to pronounce him guilty OF

ance. He is foe to virtue, an
enemy of the family, a snare to
youth, and hostile to true woman

And wished that wish ofmine!
