There you have the whole story, To
make up the $1,000 suspensions in Au-
gust, each suspension was multiplied
by 1000, but that is a moderate false
hood when you take into consideration
the desperate straits to which the bour-
bon republican leaders tin1 themselves.
During the closing months of Grover
Cleveland's first administration in 1885,
1889 there was but one question upper
most-how to reduce the tax burdens
of the people and prevent the accumu-
lation of a dangerous surplus in the ma
tional treasury, which, after meeting
every reserve and every requirement,
amounted to a round S1OO, 600, OOO
During the closing months of Benja-
min Harrison's administration in 1892
1898, there was but one question upper
of the people SO as to raise enough rev.
enues to meet the hungry demands
upon treasury that carried deficien-
cy instead of a surplus!
The 500, 900, 900 of surplus was gone,
and the dimes and nickels and pennies
were counted as available cash in the
treasury balance
The 500, 900, 900 gold reserve for the
redemption of the legal tender notes.
had been impaired, and was being
maintained only as a fiction
While President Harrison prayed for
the speedy arrival of the 4th of March,
Secretary Foster clamored for the
right to issue saO,OOO.O 900 in bonds to
bridge the yawning chasms
Our gold was flying across the ocean
at the rate of $50, 100000 per month,
and the trusts and combines created by
the Mckinley bill were cOllapsing and
threatening to engulf the nation in
financial ruin.
The economical methods of demo-
cratic administration had been hooted
out of every department and the loot
ers had done their perfect work. When
a democratic president and congress
came into power on the 4th day of
March, 1893, they found an empty
treasury and a financial panic, and they
beard the hCarse shouts of the pirates
charging it all up to the people and the
democratic party, jeering at the demo-
cratic salvage corps and shouting:
you wanted Il change and you've got
it,
And with that cry they hope to un-
ship horse sense in Ohio and carry the
state for McKinleyism and Sherman
ism, the dangerous reef from which the
democracy have just succeeded in res
cuing the ship of state.
But here in Ohio, with each succeed
ing republican state administration
and legislature, the people have seen
their taxes increase AMI the public in
stitutions unload larger and larger de-
ticiency upon a consumptive treasury.
A democratic congress and president
over in Washin Ston. with fresh and
emphatic and unrnistakabl instruc-
tions from the people. are at work re-
lieving you from the burdens of a quar-
ter of century of republican class
legislation and twenty-onc years of re-
publican NAL administration. and that
gives you Buckeye voters the golden
opportunity to do big job of thresh-
ing on your own threshinr floor.
Every officer to be voted for in Ohio,
from governor. state officers and legis-
lature. down to county intirmary
director, with the exception of Il single
congressman to fill n vacancy, has to
do only with your state AMI county
affairs and will determine whether
Ohio is to be turned over to the bond
brokers and tax-gatherers, or whether
the load of taxation for all purposes in
the state is to be reduced beloy
0000,0 0l0 limit next year, or whether
it shall go beyond the s46. 900, 0O) limit
of this year, and call upon you for
$50 900. 900 or more of taxes annually.
If you want to see it reduced, you
will turn the present republican state
government and legislature out of
power
