THE REPUBLICAN, RECORD.

The republican party has had almost
continuous control of the COVER nment
during the past 30 years. The country
has been at peace with all the world for
- years. During this time the republi-
can party has increased the excessive
wal tariff until it is higher today than
in the history of the government. 1t
squandered an immense surplus left by
Cleveland nearly four years ago and
created a deficit in the national treasury.
1t has increased the cost of pensions
from S9OOOO,OO0 to ~slJO.O0O,O00 within
the past three years by adding the
names of dcscrters, dishOnOrably dis
charged soldiers and others who are not
Justly entitled to pensions to the list. 1t
spent one billion dollars in two years. 1t
has forced the taxpayers of the country
TO pay enormous subsidies and bounties
to favored CLASSES. 1t has made pension
payments and bountics and subsidies
fixed charges upon the government.
which cannot he altered until all the de.
partmcnts of the government are wrest-
ed from its hands. 1t has robbed the
public service for partisan spoils. 1t
has protected its rascals like Dudley and
rewarded its F.lkins and like corruption
lists. 1t has taxed the many for the ben
tit of the few under the guise Of protcc-
ton. II has rcnominated its president
by office holders and purchased negro
votes to continue itself in power. This
is the record of the republican party.

\ FEW STUBBORN FACTS,

The republican party has won IA ma
tional election on the protection idea for
the last time. for protection in its present
and oppressive form is doomed. Blaine
saw this and tried to save the life of the
republican party IA few years more by in.
jecting reciprocity" in it. The proba-
bilities now are he doesn't care a splinter
how soon or how wretched a death the
party suffers. 1t ungratefully proposes
to profit by the advice and prescriptions
of DIR. Blaine and rejects the physician.
But the scheme is not IA new one. 1t
is not an original one, but it answers the
purpose Of the leaders OF the republican
party to keep the old party hulk aiioat
IA little longer. In his speech s~ccOnding
the nomination Of one nf the Minneapolis
convention candidates a speaker refer
ring to reciprocity said:
So simple in its principles. 50 far
reaching III its consequences. We won
der that we did not long ago establish
this golden rule of trade. Under its

ports and those Of all the world. Today
on all our farms there is not d barrel OF
pork OF a bushcl of wheat but what has

chasing power by reason Of the third sec
ton Of the Mckinley bill. In the great
commercial conflict now dawning on the
world our country is 10 the front.
This is stolen democratic doctrine, but
if a democrat should say as much he
would be denounced by republican edit
ors and speakers az a Cobdenite ii Brit
ish free trader. The third section Of the
Mckinley bill is simply free trade in cor
tain commodities between nations. But
the section is held up as the keystone OF
the republican arch, and is often made
to do duty as the whole arch by repub
lican speakers. The beauty Of the whole
thing is, "reciprocity" is one thing when
favored by democrats and another as
practiced by republicans, 1t is II very
flexible word.

SILVER PARTY >CHEME q.

The TRBuSE's Helena dispatch OF
yesterday morning in referring to the
mining congress which will meet in that
city the 18th Of July states that steps
will be taken during the session looking
to the formation Of "A third, or silver

silver men of both parties, the object be.

ton Of the white metal by congress.
Democrats and republicans alike who
have fought for the reconciliation OF
silver have found themselves opposed by
the money power of the country IN all
their contests. 1t is for the purpose of
making a clear cut issue with that power
that II distinctive SILVER party would be
formed.

of silver could be put To a vote of the

THE OUTLOOK.

If the republican party can extract
any hope from the political situation it
can find encouragement in certain de
feat. That party never went before tie
people. in a presidential year, with less
signs of victory in view than nov show
themselves. 1t is weaker and in worse
condition for an effective campaign than
it has been since its organization. In
1888 Mr.. Harrison found his doubtful
grounds in New York and Indiana. BY
the lavish use of money and the artistic
handling of "blocks of five he carried
both states. According to the statement
of Boss Quay it cost him S7.O00,0OO to
secure his election.
A different condition OF things con-
fronts Mr.. Harrison this year. Both
Iowa and Massachusetts-onc once strong
republican states have gone democratic
for the second time since 1883. Those
states must be placed in the doubtful
column with the chances in favor of the
democrats carrying the former. Eight
out of the fourteen electoral votes from
Michigan are safely democratic. Illinois
went democratic in 1890. That state is
also debatable ground although Govern
or Palmer AMI General Stevenson claim
it for the democratic party by a good
round majority. Nebraska and Kansas
are beyond Harrison's control. They are
in possession of the ~fusionists. Wiscon-
sin, with democratic governor and leg
islature, is thought to be sure for the
democratic electoral ticket. But we will
put it among the doubtful states. New
York elected d democratic governor and
legislature last fall by 1900 majority,
while Indiana, which Harrison carried
in 1888. by only about 200, has since
driftcd towards the democratic party.
With these facts before it the prospect
cannot be inviting to the republican
party while 1t is full of hope to demo
Gratis. President lIarrison's fighting
ground has broadened out from New
York and Indiana so as to include Hi
nois, Wisconsin. Colorado. California,
Massachusetts and Nevada. Instead Of
two he finds eight states upon which to
spread his strikers. his bribers and the
corruption fund Of his party. But he is
met 10y IA new obstacle. Blocks Of five
and barrels of greenbacks cannot cut
the figure for him they did four years
ago. The Australian system of voting
has been adopted IN nearly, if not quite,
all of those states and his vote buyers
will be shut out.
Democrats may look upon the situa
ton with the competency Of sure win
ncrs. The reaction from 1880. which re
publicans confidently predicted. did not
show itself at last fall or at this spring
elections. With the single exception of
Ohio, where the very existence Of the re-
publican party hung in the balance, and
where its leaders spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to secure the cleo
ton of Mckinley. the democrats have
more than held their own. II they do
not become ~overconiidcnt and idly fold
their arms; If they keep up their organ
ization and hold themselves well in hand
and work with a will when the campaign
shall open, they will as surely be crowned
with victory HIS the sun will rise and set
on the Sth of November next. The out
look for democratic success was never
brighter

GROVER CLEVELAND was not the
choice of the democratic delegation from
Montana. Every member Of it voted for
Boics. Harrison was not the choice of

when it left the state for Minneapolis,

him. Here is IA striking illustration of
the difference between the two parties
in the matter Of promises and their full
tillmcnt.

The rule of the REGISTER Office is
to.discontinue all papers sent to sub
scribers outside of Allen county at the
time the subscription expires unless
otherwise ordered. In a few instances
however, we have by inadyertance
failed to do this, and we find on look
ing over the list that some of our

for a considerable time. We would
take it as great favor if every sub
scriber who receives his paper in a
wrapper would note the date on that
wrapper and if he is in arrears remit
at once the amount due,-and year
in advance. If prompt attention is
given to this notice it will save us the

A Perpetual Motion Machine.

1t is generally known among engi-
neers that novel motor is running at
the Patent Office in Washington, and
has been for many years, and to some
minds seem to fulfil the conditions of
perpetual motion. The inventor made
this claim, but it is hardly correct
Perpetual motion is said to exist in a
machine that when once started will
continue to run until worn out" This
machine operates by the power given
out in the different expansion Of metals
under varying conditions, and is so
small and carefully constructed that if
there was absolutely no change in tenn
perature of the room it would run when
once started thirty-eight days before
stopping. If it was possible to put in
some place for this length of time, as
the center of the earth, where the tenn
perature would be constant, it would
stop, so does not fulfil the condition of
perpetual motion; but that cannot be
done where the machine now is, SO it
has run for great many years without
stopping, and probably will continue to
run until it wears out.
