HARD TIMEs--REPUBLIoAN RULE
REFORM THE WATOHwORD.

-
Great difficulty ia now experienced In
paying wages when earned, and the
temptation Ia TO quit all business that
involves tho necessity Of paying wages.
and In this way escape responsibility
and worry. This ia by no means a hap
by state Of things, and shows an I'M
certainty and h~opeleaaness In business
matters that must strike all az unfor-
tunate at least.
The career OF the Republican party
has been the worst possible for honest
labor and business. II has been inter
ference, direct and Indirect, I'D In the
interest OF monopoly. Certain favored
interests have received constant and
special attention, and the condition OF
labor and honest business, and the
hopeless uncertainty that prevails Is the
result OF Republican policy.
II Ia twenty-four years since the Re-
publican party assumed power and In
augurated q public policy Of which we
now realize the result. II takes time
for the full development OF any policy
causes which go deep down to the roots
Of human affairs work out the most
serious parts Of tho effects slowly
We see these effects now.
We have seen government for years
enaeting laws having Il directl infu'
ence upon business, aud established q
financial system the worst possible, and
here we soc the grand result. The old
Democratic doctrine 10 that tho govern
mrnt il the agent OF the entire people to
mauage the public affairs for the PEG
pic, aud not TO favor some above and at
the cost OF Others.
The Democratic doctrine has always
been, that our government has no right
full power TO make money plenty or mo
ney scarce, no right to interfere to dis
turb business and values ; no right Ia
decree that an article OF no real value
shall have a recognized value, and that
people must 80 recognize such artificial
value.
II q government thinkers and tam
pers with the currency, forcing that
having no inherent value, upon the peo'
pic Mt an absolute value, such govern
ment dlstuIbs business aud oil property
values, and works mischief inevitably,
Can anything be palmer
The Democratic policy so far as The
general government was concerned, was
plain and simple. Taxation was low
aud the treasury kept bare. Hundreds
Of millions we're not annually taken from
the people and monopolies were moi
running public affairs to suit them
selves. Prior TO 1861, the general gov
eminent collected taxes In gold and
silver and disbursed nothing else; hay
Ing nothing 10 do with credit paper
money, always perllous and pregnan,
with evil.
We hope to 500 q change soon at Wash
i%ngton-a change for the better. Lei
rigid economy be the 1rat stepj then, al
soon az possible, reduce taxation, to 70
lieye labor and honest business. These
are the lrst steps, and will tend to re'
viye business. Other reforms will come
along In due time. The Senate will be
Republican for the next four years, and
hence will be an obstacle. Let us hope
however, for the best,

DEMOCRATIC MEANING OF REFORM.

1t has been well said, that half
the discussions and disputes in the
world hinge OH a definition. And
1t is the unfortunate fate Of any
word which is adopted as a party
shibboleth, to rapidly come to have
two meanings, special one in the
minds of the party adopting it, and
widely different from the idea
which the word conveys to the rest
of mankind. Such a fate has surely
befallen the word Reform In
its proper sense it is an excellent
word, but when it is mouthed by
Democrats as a war or adminiStra.
ton cry, it means anything else but
its primary significance. 1t means
a going back to wOrn.out political
ideas, to a temporizing and make
shift craftsmanship. With the
elastic conscience of the party
which has raped the word Of good
ly meaning, it stands for a multi
plicity of things, but first and al.
ways for return OF the Democratic
party to full control of the nation.
Reform means in Democracy the
denial of equal rights before the
law, especially the right to vote
and hold Office, to every citizen OF
the United States not calling him
self a Democrat.
Reform" will be found to mean
the reduction of the tariff to a Free
Trade basis, the ruin Of American
manufactures, the throwing of
hundreds Of thousands of working
men out of employment, or else a
reduction of their wages to the
English standard, with want and
wretchedness for their lot, and the
heritage Of their children. Gre
form" will try to enforce the
abandonment of the National bank
ing system, and the substitution OF
wildcat bank notes for the most
stable paper currency the world
has ever known. 1t means to put
the political methods of the Nation
back to the ante.bellum period
except slavery which cannot be
restored. "Reform means that
the reins Of government are again
in the hands of that party which,
to use the words of George VIM.
Cursis, in a changed tense, {" fell
from power as a conspiracy against
human rights, and sneaked back
to power as conspiracy for plumb
er and spoils.'
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1885-06-05
A KEEN TRICK.

The latest slang phrase of the
precOciOus youth finds earlier APP
plcation than could have been ex.
pected by the most intuitive Of
those into whose ears it was first
Numbered.
AK the old.time funder what he
now proposes to do about the pub.
lie debt, and he answers " We
are going for its reputation and
will vote for the man who has the
courage to do it,"
Courage is good word for a
funder, who had not the courage to
repudiate fraud, nor the courage
to favor an equitable settlement
which he subsequently approved
aud declared to be the ultimatum.
We can all afford a hearty laugh
at this.
But the keen trick is Just the
trick we might have expected
funderism to play. 1t is the same
extreme game they always put up.
How can you repudiatei With
coupons receivable for taxes there
is no way Of doing it, and the only
measure which has stood the test
of the courts called a "COupon
Killer" the funders endeavOred
to kill by their "drummer's license
act which was declared unconsti.
rational. Any act of reputation
will meet the came fate. Bond
holders, syndicates, Jobbers, thoir
agents, and all their attorneys
bought and paid for will give time
and means to elect men in favor of
because this means
death to the "CJupOn Killers, y
and Is the very best of practical
