 Thrift and carefu, waschfu,ness of OK peHdst9r- alnnas he people tend tp secure thirty government, and cheap aud care iG' living en tee apart of individuals ougat to eniosse economy In the pao.to expeadi ,urv
 When. therefore, mon in hlgh places of trust charged with the responslolity Of making and exgcut ng our laws, not only eoaiemn bu; fiippant'y deride cheapuess and economy wilma the homes of our peo. pc, aud when th@ expenditures of the gov sfameot arc ret xless ana wasteful, we may oe sGrc that something k wroug with US ami that condition cxists which calls Tor vss0rnas snd rrsertsal defense of Ameritanism by every msa worthy to bs Vailed nn American citixen.
 Upon tho question Of cheapuesa and economy, whesaer tt relates 10 individuals er ,o the operations cf tho Government. The Democratic party. true to It's creed and its traditions, will! uaaiterahly remain at tached to oar rlaiu and frugal people They arerspecia!y sutitlcd 10 toe wst,Aful care and protection of tselr government; and when they arc borne ccwn with hurGsns greater thap they can bear, aud arc uado tho objects of scuru by hard tsskmAsters, we will not leave th'sIr sids Az the great German reiormer. insisting upon his re. iigtuus con yictions in the presence of his accasers, ,excaimed: "I cAn ao naagh, else.

 Thus. when the question Is raised wheth- CT our reople shall have the necrssities of life ats ohsaper rate, ws arc not ashamed 10 confess ourssiwes 'in full sympathy with the demand for cheaper coa,s;" and we are not dssureed hy the hint Una. this seems necessarily to invo.vc oaearer man or woman under the coats"
 He said the people s,ill love tho cheap coats ef Linccln ard Garfield aud .'they permit ns tc forgive cur honorsd guest for all tic cheap coats hs has ever worn for they havc declared them to bs in fashion. They have also directed thst the pecagogae has a place in our politics for they have enforced the commandment "Thou shalt not steal" and have rendered an emphatic verdict against those who have oorne false witness.n
