Lottery. the Democratic party, IN It's
platform, thought it would do the next
BEST thing and declare for the repeal oil
the 10 per cent tax on state banks, so

flooded with old-time Democratic

REDUCTION OF TAXATION BY REPUBLICANS
During the eleven years the Republi.
cans had majority in the house OF
representatives they reduced taxation
$3.50, 100000; and during the eleven
wears the Democrats have had the
house they only reduced taxation about
100000.
BENEFITS OF RECIPROCITY.
For a long time it has been apparent
that in some way trade and commerce
between the South American states and
the United States should be increased,
Europe had monopoly OF this trade,
and the question arose, how could the
United States get all or fair share oil
it? As usual, the Republican party not
only saw the difficulty, but found the
remedy in the laws passed by Kepuo-
lican Congress, authorizing treaties pro-
yiding for reciprocal trade relations
with South American states. Under
these laws treaties have been made and
entered into with Brazil, Cuba, Porto
Rico, Santo Domingo, British West
Indies, Salvador, British Guiana, and
Guatemala, and although q beginning
has Just been made, the results show an
increase after only one year. or little
more, OF about Sl0,OO0O0O. The Demo:
cratic party, true TO its traditions and
practice OF opposing all great measures,
opposed reciprocity, declared it was n
sham, and that no good would come
from it, using the same arguments that
it used against levying tax on steel
rails, tin plate, and other products
manufactured in this country, and
against all the great measures which
have resulted in increased manufac-
lures, and an increase in trade and
commerce.
TIN PLATE.
Since the passage of the law imposing
a tax upon tin plate, according to an
official report OF the treasury depart
ment, there had been organized, up to
April23, forty-four companies, twenty
six Of which on that date were actually
manufacturing tin plate. Eight more
companies were building plants, and
ten we're preparing to build. The
amount invested in the plants was
So, 1893, 900, giving employment to about
four thousand persons. The total pro-
duction up to June 80 of this year was
more than thirteen million pounds, the
estimated production for the year will
be about twenty million pounds, and
for the present fiscal year one hundred
million pounds. During this time the
price OF tin plate has decreased. The
estimated yearly capacity OF the COM
panies preparing to work is about two
hundred and thirty million pounds.
The Democratic party has persistent
ly opposed the tax on tin plate, declar-
ing it would prove failure and raise
the price of tin plate. AS result OF
the duty placed on tin plate the follow
ing dispatch was received from London,
August 2S:
Several Welch tin plato manufac-
tories closed their works Saturday
Sixty works are now closed and ten
thousand hands are now idle"
REPUBLICAN Policy PRODUCES THE BEST
RESULTS.
The Democratic party, with its FREQ
trade tendencies, its war on protection,
its loose and unsound notions about
finance, its opposition in places to fair
elections and to the things that make
for peace, good order, and the stability
OF society, and its general disposition to
pander to ignorance and prejudice in
order to hold power, stands as hind
rance to the material and social progress
Of the country, but more specially to
that of the South. These things dis

The Democratic party has
never been good to the South, in the
larger and better sense, though claim
ing to be its best friend. For more
than fifty years it has been an enemy to
Southern interests and to Southern
progress.
The Republican party appeals to the
people OF the south, and asks them to
put aside passion and prejudice and
fairly consider what the Democratic
party proposes now, and what effect its
policy will have in the future upon the
south.
The war, with all of its bitterness,
prejudice. passions, and irritations, is
over and ENDED forever 1t cannot be
fought ovsr again. The same questions
will neveIb discussed. They are set
tied finally and forever.
The Republicans, though proud to a
point as high as pride can rise or reach
OF the splendid record and triumphs cf
their party, make no appeal and claim
on that ground, but feel what
they now propose is best foF the whole
country and best for the south, because
its principles are founded on right and
Justice, and because its policy is the best
and safest guaranty OF the peace and
order OF society, the protection OF prop
erty, the progress and prosperity OF the
and the elevation and happi-
ness Of the whole people.
