DECLINE IN RdLUES
The New York Tribune, with ite usual
facility for discovering the beam IN Us
brothers. eye, makes the startling discoy-
cry that there has been marked decline
in values aud IN revenue receipts since
the Inauguration OF Democratic presl-
dent, aud corresponding increase IN the
expenditures Of the public funds The
articles selected by the Tribune TO Illus
trate the decline In values are such as arc
essential 10 the comfort, and, indeed, 20
the very existence Of nearly every citizcn
Of the country. They nrc marrowfat
beans, hops, eggs, and turkeys these
four, and no more, are selected by the
Tribune from the entire llst OF commodl-
Ties, to show that the country Is going 10
the demntion bow-wows under u Demo.
cratic administration. The fact that mar
rowfat beans have declined 2G.G per cent,
since Cleyelond's administration Is sull-
GENTLY narrowing to appol the atoutcst-
hearted patriot. But when II is reflected
that There Is decline In turkeys andcggso Of
from TO per cent, aud this, too, nt the
near approach of Thanksgiving aud
Christmas, n time when these
products of the poultry-ynrds
always show an upward tend
ency under Republican adminlstra-
ton, ~ the most convincing and con
elusive evidence that the Democrats are
wholly unequal TO The task of directing
the affairs Of tho government IN the prop.
or channel, and that they are possessed
Of the densest Ignorance Of the science
Of political economy The further fact
that sour krout, Dutch cheese, Hat Dutch
cabbage and fowls, other than turkeys,
have enhanced in value, shows by the
same logic TINT Grover Cleveland must
be the special champion Of these pro-
ducts, aud has used the strong arm OF the
general government to maintain their
value There are some other products of
the field ana factory In which the human
family are more or less interested, which
have maintained their value in spite OF
the influence oil ibo administration
wool has appreciated, and 10 has rail-
road iron, both staple articles, one Of the
field and the other Of the factory, but
when wool * placed In the balance against
marrowfat beans, and railroad iron com
pared IN value with eggs or turkeys, the
interest tyro IN the science OF government
must see 1T once that the beans aud tur-
keys must take rrc-cmincnco. Just how the
Democrats arc responsible FOR this condI.
