Secretary Bsyard has bssn guilty Of
bullying Mexico. weak nsishbor on the
south without fist ascsrtainiug the facts
IN the case, and has allowed England,
through Canada to insult our fishermen
without reprooi. though abundant facts
in regard to the outrages were reported to

unanimous vote furnished him the means
OF retaliation.
Secretary Whitney, by unjust treatment
Of John Roach. the only successful iron
steamship builder 10 this country, forced
him into insolvency md turned thousands
Of workmen out Of employment.

sands Of officials for this csuss. allied their
places with the best workers 10 the Demo.
cratic party who do not slacken In their
efforts to further its interests. and this
they call "civil service reform.
The Democrats in Congress, having .
large majority 10 one branch, made no ef-
TO stop the coinage Of dollar that is worth
less than seventy-fve cents. though the
treasury vaults are filed and the country
il flooded with them. They refused to
entertain bill that would correct the In
equalities Of our revenue laws but did
their best 10 pass bill that would have
been serious blow TO the protection Of
our Manufacturing industries, It's owing
10 this latter fact and to general dis
trust Of the Democratic party that the 70.
vival Of business which was promised has
not been experienced.
The civil service, offensive partisan re-
form Of the present administration is fair
y illustrated in the removal Of Gen. Wells,
collector Of Vermont and giving the place
10 B. B. Smalley. Notwithstanding Cleve
