manhood.

ExrRAvAGANr DEMOCRATS.

Just - the Democrats are felicitating
themselves over the fact that the squaw-
buck legislature and Accident Winans
had reduced taxation several hundred
thousands OF dollars, comes the sad
announcement that it isn't true. In
the first place the Democrats have been
in power less than a year, and judging
from the length of the legislative ses-
sion with the cost Of its wild Junketing
expeditions to investigate" public in
stitutions and Its extrayagant schemes
of consolidation of State boards, it is
too early to estimate what the cost to
tile people will be when the deficiencies
shall be made up by the next Repub-
lican administration. In the second
place the Democrats were ain" when
the Federal government paid over TO
the State treasurer $40. S65.66 OF the
war taxes. This added to the State
levy of 81 ,443 ,s49.60 makes the total
amount exceed last years levy by
several thousands. Yet the Demo-
Gratis had the impudence to
claim that they reduced taxation.
When the truth was sent home to
them they relapsed into silence as
profound as the stiffness of the I'M
troubled deep. As matter OF fact the
Democrats pursued a nlggardly policy
toward the G.. A. Il. encampment, the
Worlds Fair aud every other enter
prise. Not single Appropriation was
passed for public buildings and the
amounts set apart for the maintenance
of State institutions is VIGOROUSLY
meagre. In the face of all this the
Democratic Legislature actually ex-
pended more money and accomplished
less permanent good for the people
than any Legislature since the war.

TWO .rREE. DISASTERS.

The Democratic twins free trade
and free silver coinage are happily
mated. The practical operation of
either would bring business stagnation
and distress, while if both were put In
force at the same time disaster would
oyertake our commercial and manu-
featuring enterprises. In comparing
the relation of these two fondly
cherished dreams of the Democrats the
Jackson Citizen pointedly says: "If
this nation had free trade and free
coinage OF silver the importers and
mine owners would reap u richer har-
Our immense surplus of agricultural
products is needed in Europe at pres
ent and must be paid for in gold, but if
We had free coinage and free trade the
European nations would pay for our
wheat and meats by exc hanging the
trash of their factories and shops,
which is manufactured by their pauper
labor, and if that was not sufficient the
importers would pay the remainder in
their silver, which is worth about sew
enty cents on the dollar. On the other
hand, they wonld not take our silver
for any balances due them, but would
demand gold and our people would
lose at least thirty cents on every dollar,
besides parting with all our gold coin.
The effect of such financial policy
could not fail to be highly disastrous to
every business interest In this country,
save that of mining silver and import
ing foreign merchandise. Both of the
latter would profit enormously, but at
frightful cost to our farmers, manu-
facturers and working men. Yet this
ruinous policy of free trade and free
coinage is advocated by the Democratic
party today at the demand of silver
monopolists and millionaire import
