and labor was almost double. But !
will not pursue the subject further at
this time and detain YOU to consider
the petty items which they find in the
accounts of that time .-many of which
have not been incurred since 1870, be-
cause forbidden by laws enacted by the
Republican party. Let them answer
how it was that the Republican party
took charge of the state when Its popu-
lation was reduced to $4,000, and the
assessed value of property to $4,000,
COO, aud in three years obtained pop
uiati0n of 100000 with assessed val
ues oil $454, S63,S95? How it was that
with total revenue Of 2,463,9o9 dot
lars in 1865, and only augmented
thereafter by the increase of wealth
which Republican iule built up, we
were able to defray all the ordinary
expenses of the Government and re-
duce the debt, while the Democratic
party, with assessed values OF 60l, 722, :
S33 dollars and a revenue of upwards
of 100000 dollars in 1881, has not in
fact reduced the debt by payment l
dollar in the past fourteen years.
What became of that 5000, 600 dollars?
On the 1st Of January, 1881, the
bonded Indebtedness of tho State was
6,259,G00 dollars, not including the
bonds issued to the Hannibal and St.
joe Railroad; add those bonds and in
terest- 100000 dollars--and you have
1888, 900 dollars as the debt Ut the
State in 1881. The Hannibal and st.
Joe Railroads paid to the State $780,
600 dollars, and thus reduced the debt
by that amount. The difference be-
tween having your debtor pay you and
paying your creditor is one not within
Democratic comprehension.
cRIrTENDEN IN ERROR.
If Governor Crittenden did assert, as
he is represented to have asserted. that
the Democratic party had reduced the
debt 100000 dollars and that the Re.
publicans had not reduced it at all, he
must have done so under great excite
ment and wholly forgetfuI that the re-
ports of the accounting officers of the
State are excessible to every citizen.
Democratic managers of public affairs

on what they owe. A striking instance
is found in their dealing with the
State school fund. We sold the State
school fund bank stock for 1925, 25
dollars in State bonds and coupons,
and put them in the Treasury. The
Democracy allowed the school fund for
661, 1857 dollars and Sc cents, and inter-
est on that sum, thereby losing to the
school fund the sum of 56,267 dollars
and 80 cents, the amount received for
the stock above its par value. If they
did not see this their stupidity was de.
plorable, ana it they did see it their
conduct was infamous. 1t will afford
me great pleasure to avail myself of the
earliest opportunity to enter into the
work of comparison with these gentle,
men and give them some mathematical
demonstrations as to how they appro
priated and used 1921, 127 dollars anG

Let the PatterSons Pass Out.

Some time since the following chal-
lenge appeared in the Bloomington
en- Daily Leader:
We, the undersigned, do hereby
challenge any family in the State of
Illinois to muster the same number of
voters in either of the political parties.
There are forty-two voters in our fami-
ly and all for Blaine and Logan. Let
us hear from any family in Illinois who
can beat this.
(Signed) STUBBLEFIELD FAMILY.
To this came the following response
from Sullivan, Moultrie County:
We can beat it. There are fifty
five voters in the Patterson family. all
but six in Moultrie county. and all for
Cleveland and Hendricks and Carter
Harrison. Let the Stubblefeld family
hush up.
(Signed PATTERSON FAMILY.
The following explains itself:
FRIENDsvILLE, WABASH COUNTY,
ILL, September 1910 the editor of
the Globe Democrat: propose to
beat the Patterson banter.
The Wilkinson family. OF White, Ed
wards and Wabash Counties, were old
line Wings and Republicans with Ere
mont. We vote fifty-eight Republi-
can votes. We sent eighteen soldiers
to help put down the rebellion of 1861
to 1865. Six of them lost their lives
that the States might remain a great
and free republic.
By 1888, Blaine and Logan's second
term, the prospects are that we can
muster ninety-six, full company.
Respectfully, THos. WILKINSON.

We do not think that with free
trade in metaiic raw materials, brought
about by the combined votes Of the
Eastern, Middle and oreless States,
the virgin mines of the country can
be seriously damaged--though they
may be reduced to fair margins OF
proft--but when the fight comes, as
it inevitably will come, all the New
England and Middle States will be
compacted for free trade in metals
