THE RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

Since March 1, 1889, one-quarter of the
national debt then outstanding, or $685.
09s,650, has been paid of at an expenditure
of $3.50, 1881. These bonds, if they had
run to maturity. would have cost. principal
and interest, 1851, 669, 424. The saving by
their purchase was, therefore, $55, 352 493.
The annual interest charge was reduced
by these purchases from $34, SIS. 219 to $22,-
500. ST.. This IS a reduction of Sill ,684. 34S
annually, or one-third. 1t pays one-half
the average addition to pensions due to the
dependent pension act, and leaves the pay
ments for interest and pensions lower than
twelve years ago.
By these free redemptions of de BIT, the
operations of the treasury and other
been increased in three years and two
months sos, 1856, 34S. This is nearly twice
the addition under President Cleveland,
which was SILL, 456, 1877. and one-tifth the
entire addition to the currency of 1886. 1884,
GA from all causes in twenty-eight years,
from July 1, $780, to March 1, 1889.
The revenue collected from the people
has been reduced by $35, 600, 900 to SAG, 900, :
600. This reduction of nearly 81 900. 900
week has reduced one-half the cost of
sugar to every workingman of family in
the land.
The average annual exports under Presi-
dent Harrison have been for three years
$907. 0S3, 7S1. Under President Cleveland
for his last three years they were s719, ISL
096. This is larger annual sale of Ameri-
can products of $751;, 302, 635. In three
years of each the total foreign commerce
under President Harrison has been IS, l6l,-
$3.50 In the last three years of Presi-
dent Cleveland it was 81. $50, 7O2, 1879. This
is an excess under Republican admins
trstion of SSH ,602 s24.
These are some of the significant facts
and figures that illustrate the beneficent
effect of protective legislation and arbitra-
ton. Under President Cleveland the ex-
| cess of exports in three years was SIS, 9S4,-
SO. Under President Harrison this ex-
cess has been S2Sl. l97. 367

A LOVE NOTE.

Do not forget me, dearest; all day long
think of you, and wish the time more fest;
Ny heart Ia always singing some sweet song,
And thinking OF you makes my labor sweet
Aud If the day seems snywiss less bright
More vext with cares than had thought
'twoud be-
think with joy of the approaching night
When the sweet stars shall guide my steps to
thee.
One thought still whispers-sweeter evermore:
Thou shalt behold her when the day is o'erF'
And so / shall; for you will watch and wait
When on the flowers the tears of twilight fall !;
Sweet are the roses round your garden gate,
But you are still the sweetest rose OF all!
And you are my rose-even my very own,
And to my life your beauty you inpart;
Bloom sweetly still, but bloom for me alone,
And Irvine your tendrils closer round my
heart
Dear, shall soon within your presence be,
And you are waiting with kiss for mel

Ho Wong, Chinese laundrymsn, was tried
last week at Colfax for the murder of q fellow
countryman, Highlander. who had assaulted
him. He was acquitted. but refused to leave
the courtroom. and begged the sheriff to take
him back to jail II ne had gone into the street
he would have been killed at once. for a crowd
of highbinders were waiting 10 plunge their
long knives into him. Poor Wong was taken
back to his cell, and the authorities managed TO
put him on train for Portland. On his arrival
at Portland he found that the highoinders. who
"stand in" with the police, would surely kill
him. Preierrny to die by his own hand, he
hung himself in the basement of the new First
Congregational church, at Main AMI East Park
streets. He stood on a small box, and after
tying rope around his neck jumped off so that
his legs dangled between the hoor sills He
could not have dropped over two feet, and, as
his neck was not broken, he evidently died
from strangulation,

lie. An excellent resolution is that which
urges legislation by congress to protect the
life and limb of the employees of transpor-
tation companies engaged in carrying on
interstate commerce, and recommends
legislation by the respective states that
viii protect the employees engaged in state
commerce, in mining and manufacturing.
The traditional humanity OF the Repub-
lican party is expressed in the resolutions
denouncing personal outrages committed
upon American citizens for political rea-
sons in certain states of the South and in
the resolutions of sympathy for the cause
of home rule in Ireland and of protest
against the persecution of the Jews in
Russia.
The resolutions in favor of the restora-
ton of our mercantile marine; the crea-
ton of navy adequate to our national
defense, and in favor of the enactment Of
stringent laws and regulations for the re-
striction of criminal. pauper and contract
immigration are calculated to commend
themselves to the approval of the people.

Democratic convention recently held in this
city, stated that he was training with the Demo-

negroes have been lynched or murdered for
