REPUBLICAN MISDEEDS.

SpceCu, maue Dy IlVh. Ahch " . Thurman, before the Ohio State Democratic convention, July, 18th, 1891; it in an emphatic, truthful way, tells of the many Republican misdeeds:
 "In his speech nominating Major Mckinley, Gov. Foraker said that even the wiles of the devil seemed unable to kill the Democratic party, which undoubtedly meant that it will never be destroyed by the Re- publican party. Evidently the fact must have occurred to him that this grand old Democratic party has seen the birth, growth and death of every political organization that has ever arisen in this country believe the time is now but a few weeks off when they will doubly seal the victory they won last fall, when they will by their ballots most emphaiically con demn the industrial policy which is a continual barrier to commercial prosperity-when they will reject the party which, through the last con- gress appropriated for government expenditures the tremendous sum of Sl,O0O, ,OO0, ,00O-the expenditure of $l1 for every man, woman and child in the United States, a sum equal to one- third of the national debt at the close of the war and also equal to the whole net debt of the United States at the present time and sum which bids fair, before the fiscal year ends to create deficit in tbe treasury. A party too, which by it's reckless course, has made it impossible to pay the government bonds that fall due in September, for should they be paid there will not be money enough left to pay the current ex- penses of the government thirty days longer. A party, too, which raised the average rate of duties from Az to 57 per cent; that clothes the Presi- dent of the United States with the unconstitutional power to levy and take off taxes and that right in the face of the decision of the Supreme court which said that such taxation was robbery that authorized the sec retary of the treasury to pay direct bounty out of moneys collected from the people ostensibly to few sugar planters of the South, bat in reality to the sugar trust; party that by it's pernicious class legislation drives the American marine from off the high seas and prctends that 1t can be re- -habilitated by direct subsidies to steamship lines. in other words, after destroying it by taxation, they mean to restore it by greater taxation. A party whose legislation has in every way and at all times sustained Eng land in her attempt to establish mon- ometalisM party that in short reign of two years added 20OO names to the list of oilice-h holders; party that blocked all legislation for months in the endeavOr to enact the infamous villanous laws and partisan Force bill, a bill under which they expected by fraud and intimidation to perPet- uate themselves in power. The time is near when the people will express their belief in complete and not re- stricted reciprocity, when they will no longer sustain any party which levics and collects one dollar of the peoples money above what is rcquir- cd to economically administer the af- fairs of government when they will give due notice that infant industries that have been nursed for hundred years have arrived at the age when they must take care of themselves; when they will brand protective tar if as stealing, it's advocates as beg gars, and demand that we must have tariff for revenue only. l most earn estly beseech farmers, whose inter- ests are identically the same as my own, to follow this course. The wild schemes of the government lending money upon warehouse certificates or upon lands, taking possession of railways and telegraphs by the gov ernment, internal Improvements and other similar issues, lead not only to greater taxation, but to the rankest kind of socialism. say to them, put them to one side and stick to the tariff issue until you get what is due you."
