BROOKLYN, Oct. 26-The Democracy of
Brooklyn turned cut in force to-nigh. and
held great mass-meeting at the Academy
of Music. where Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice.
Presidential candidate, and Congressman

"At the close Of President Cleveland's ad-
ministration the surplus in the Treasury, ex-
elusive of the gold reserve, was, IN round
numbers, S83, 100000 1t will be remem-
bered that during the latter half OF his ad-
mnistration the important question was,
What shall be done with the SurplusY In
view of the fact that the annual revenues OF
the Government we're then $1,000 000 n ex-
cess Of its expenditures the question was of
great interest TO the American people
What is the condition which now con-
fronts the United States at the end Of three
years and half OF Repu bllcan adminlstra-
ton? On the basis OF the revenues of the
Government as estimated for the present
fiscal year, and the liabilities Of the Govern
ment on account Of annual and permanent
appropriations for the same period, there
will be a deficit Of 1900. 600. Upon the
assumption that the law requiring S49, co.,
600 for sinking fund be complied with,
there is no escaping the deficiency l have
mentioned. The bankruptcy which now
threatens the treasury is the result, first,
of the McKinley tariff law, and second Of
the lavish appropriations Of the Filty-frst
Congress"

had always found its most faithful guardi-
ans in the Democratic party. Taking up
the financial plank OF the Chicago conYen-
tion he declared that 1t voiced his senti-
ments. and passing to the tariff denounced
the Republican system Of protection to
certain industries by which heavy tariff
burdens are laid upon the great mass Of the
people for the benefit of the favored indi.
Viduals who are fortunate enough to re-
ceive it's blessings.
"There has undoubtedly been a wonder
fnl increase In the material wealth OF the
United States," he continued, 'but who has
It? The answer is found in the unequal
distribution. in the accumulation OF enor-
nous private fortunes, in the tendency 70
pass legislation In exchange for political
favors and in the utter disregard Of the
rights of the tax-laden people"
The speaker preceded to give his views
on the fOrcs bill, and said that the bill in
every line and paragraph breathed distrust
OF the people. This legislation" said he,
sis devised in a spirit Of hate"
Stevenson spent several hours to-day in
consultation with Cleveland. Among the
subjects under discussion is said to have
