The extravaganza of the Repubi-
can party has never been equaled.-
In the past eighteen years, and the
country at peace with all the world,
they have drawn from the pockets of
the people, in taxes, the fabulous sum
of $6,000,00O,OO0. The ordinary ex-
penses of the government, leaving
out interest on the public debt, pen
sions, etc, for the ten years from
1867 to 1876, were $1,60O,O0O,O00,
twenty-five millions more than the
whole expenses of the government
from 1883 to 1861. The last ten
years of the Democratic rule, from
1852 to 1861, cost but $577, O00,0 900,
thousand millions less than the cor
responding ten years, from 1867 to
1876. under Republican rule

The true objective point of the
campaign is good government by the
people and in the interest of honesty,
purity and economy. A change is
needed, aud the voters will impera-
lively demand it next November
There is something radically wrong
about the Republican doctrine of
national taxation as at present en-
forced. Otherwise, after a quarter
of a century of unrestrained Repub-
lican power we would not find almost
every industry in the country para
lyzed and reign of universal bust
ness stagnation In the language of
another: g Furnaces are silent or
blowing out, factories closed, work
men idle, values shrinking; and al
most daily strikes prove that warfare
exists between capital and labor
The problem of living bears harder
on the men of toll, and the number
which lives constantly in the shadow
of anxiety is yearly increasing" All
these things demand change
change of rulers, change of policy,
and change in national taxation.

We, the People.

ASA 40 I" va A1a HOA oe01AN COAAoA' SA
idea in Gov. Cleyeland's letter of &C
ceptance which ought to be clearly
brought out and emphasized for the
benefit of the voters Of this country
It is that the people are the source
and guardians of all authority, and
that executive oficers-even the
highest executive oficer-are but
their servants. This is a somewhat
old-fashioned idea, it is true, but it
has been SO persistently ignored and
apparently despised of late, that it
must be practically new to the young
er generation of voters Gov. Cleve-
land says: -"We proudly call ours
government by the people. 1t is not
such when a class is tolerated which
relegates to itself the management of
public affairs, seeking to control the
people, instead of representing them"
How true that is, and yet how little
understood. It shows the informing
spirit of historical research into the
early governing principles of the Re
public. It undertakes to call the
people back and give them new and
clear title to their imperilled sover-
eighty. And what a strong and
healthy contrast it affords to the
snowy and dishonest utterances of
his opponents, who have undertaken
to throw dust into the peoples eyes
and take from them that clear trust
in themselves upon which the integ-
rity of our institutions depends. To
read the manifestoes of Blaine and
his first lieutenant, Butler, one must
infer that they have arrogated to
themselves in case they should be
elected the power to do what they
will, and make their policies the law
of the land. If the people concede
all that they assume, then they must
admit that they have not kept back
much authority for themselves. Gov.
Cleveland, on the contrary plants
himself on the principles of true
Democracy. He leaves everything
with the people, and reinvests them
with the dignity, sovereignty and
self-respect which they once exercised
and felt, but which has imperceptibly
been taken from them by the subtle
encroachments of demagogues and
politicians of the centraizing school.
This is matter of great Importance
and one that the voters cannot afford
to ignore unless they have fallen SO
low that they prefer to entrust their
rights and liberties to every smart
politician who may makea clever bid
for them. Mr. Blaine poses as q
prospective benefactor and makes
promises which he thinks will please
everybody. Gov. Cleveland shows
the people that their destinies are in
their own hands. There are no pa
ternal or patriarchial ideas of gov
eminent in his dealings with the
people. He is their servant, and only
aspires, if elected, to be a faithful and
efficient one.

S100,000,0O0 Per ANNUM.-The
process Of wringing from the industry
of the country One Hundred Millions
of unnecessary taxes per annum con-
tinues,
Already Four Hundred Millions of
Dollars in excess Of the wants Ct the
government have been taken as toll
from the hard earnings of labor.
When Congress shall again this
immense sum will be standing tenn
tation TO that body to make reckless
and lavish appropriations.
It has cost not less than Twenty
Millions of Dollars to collect this
unnecessary revenue, great part of
which might have been saved by the
abolition of useless Offices.
Mr.. Blaine would go on with the
collection of this vast sum In order
that it may be redistributed among
the States and he would continue to
waste the cost of it's collection on
supernuraary Office holders.
Are the people, the taxpayers, the
tax-oarners, willing that this magnif-
cent folly, this outrageous oppres-
aioa, shall become the permanent
policy of the country

Fine Residence Burned.

We find the following communica-
ton in the Shreveport Times of the
10th:
BoSSier Parish, La. Oct. Is, 'S4.
Editor Times-Mr. John Pickett's
magnificent residence on his Hurri-
cane Bluff plantation burned this
morning at 2 o'clock. So rapid were
the flames, famed by''a stiff northeast
wind, that Mr.. Pickett narrowly es-
capped with his life, leaving his house
hold furniture and clothing behind.
The cause of the fire is hotknown but
it is supposed to have caught from
the kitchen. The loss is 10000,
partly covered by insurance, but do
not know how much.
s. T. BOGGS.
This is quite a heavy loss Ito Mr..
Pickett and one he cannot well afford
these hard times. This residence
was comparatively new, having been
built only few years ago, and was
one Of the best arranged dwellings
in this parish.

End district in congress. He was
unanimously nominated by the
convention which met in Albany
Wednesday of last week. The
End district has reasons to be
proud of her congressman. His
consistent course since he has
been member Of that body, his
untiring efforts in behalf of the
people and his uniform course on
all the absorbing issues Of the day
have won for him the admiration
Of friends and the commendation
of political foes. Since he has
been in congress he has
given ample proof Of his integrity
and of his ability. He has already
taken rank with the foremost
members of the House and shown
himself to be the equal of any
member Of that body.
