The record made by the Democratic
party during Mr.. Cievslaad's admir!stra-
ton should be sufficient guarantee CT
Itself OF what may be expected in the
future. OF the l45, I'll 1858 acres OF the
public lands itaudu emily best owed on
the Credit Mobelier and other corpora
tons formed under Republican sd-
mlnistration for the implied purpose Of
rObbing the people and the government,
so. 690,720 acres hsv: been re-
stored TO the government and the
remsiniug s.. 02O,53 acres remaining
have been recommended for restoration
by the Cleveland administration. This is
just one item In the great Work Of
recovery, and reform which MSS been put
on fooE since the Inauguration OF q
Democratic President. IL 1t not better
TO stand together and let tais good
work go OF? The Mills committee
bill Is another item tina! will
relieve the burden of taxation on our
people from S65 900, 900 to 570,000,000
per annum. A burden that Is borne by
the yeomanry Of The land. theifarmer, the
mechanic, the lsboring clsss generally.
How much faster can the Non-Partisins
expect the Democratic party to go2 The
Mills bill will be defeated this time by
Republican Senate, but II the Dem ocrstic
House is indorsed by the reelection Of
Mr.. Cleveland by an overwhelming ma
jority, the rebuke will be sufficient to
insure It's passage later on. These sre
questions that demand Investigation and
earnest consideration at the hands Of the
Non Partissns, LsbOr party and all other
organizations th.t oppose the protective
tariff system. Coming home we will ex
anime tie record Of the Democratic party
in Texls. In July. 1867, when the Rs4
publican party took charge OF the srte
government the rate Of taxation WAS 10
cents on The 800, and the county tax III
WAS correspond.ngly low. From 1S7y
to 1874, the period covered by
the Davis Republican administrafbn,
iel taxes reached the enormous Este OF
80 IS on the 500. Ia 1874, .whsn Gov
ernor Coke WAS inaugurated as Demo-
cratic Governor. the government, which
had been turned over TO the Rapub leans
out OF debt with a full treasury, with On
honest rate of taxation, was handed back
to US with On enormous debt, empty;
treasury, blasted credit, ard 6 systea
OF taxation approaching coD1scationg
Now at the close Of the fourteenth yesr Of
Democratic supremacy We fad our treas
ur7 full, the state advslorem general rey@s
enue tax reduced to 10 cents on the sEg0.
In addition 10 the hesvy rate of s,sts ad-
vslorem tax levied by the Davis admins

more than hiss been and is being accom-
olished by Democratic administration?
The inconsistency Of some wcuid-be lead
,rs gives them away. Two years ago
sst August at the state convention at
Galveston Marion Martin made Q speech
nat was teeming with praise for the
grand old Democratic psrtY, its wondfous
achievements in way Of reform. Speaking
II the period OF r apuo licsn rule he char

ng In repested defeat, still brillians1
n the dust. The old psrty founded on
ne true principles OF Justice and
light could not be held down, and in her
ascension TO victory and power often
lefelt and deep humiliation marked Al
epoch In our country's history that would
,ver be hailed with Joy By the Jeomanry
# our country. whose only hope was In
Democratic success.
At this time we find this same old
.ooster st the head Of two-yes, three
,ther parties, with the fourth one hanging
IN to his cost tail, waging relentless
var upon the very party to whom (bY his
,wl declarstions) the ''Yeo nanny Of the
