WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?

When the present financial depres-
sion is laid to the Democratic party
there are few Democrats, who lean
back and ask the question, what legis-
lation by the Democratic party has
brought it about? What have they
done2 And they think in this way to
deceive some people as to the real
cause and make them believe that
Republican legislation is responsible.
In view Of the present desperate
condition of the country, it is no Won
der that Democrats and their papers
are laboring desperately to persuade
the business men of the United States
that the responsibility for the shrink.
age of more than billion dollars in
values since Nov. s is due to the
Sherman law; it is no wonder that the
Administration, in view Of the enor-
nous losses to the people already wit
messed and the yet greater losses in
prospect, puts forth message full o.

lieve was great man, only to be dis
appointed by the last communication
and thoroughly disguised by reading
over and over again of the boyish de-
light Of this great (?) man in dirty,
wriggling worms and the sickly smile
on his puffy face as he deity runs
them through with new-fangled hooks
and their sliminess transfers itself
from them to his fat fingers. Bah! it
makes the country sick at the stomach
and sick at heart Such a Specticle
was never witnessed before Such
actions were never INDUCED in but
once before by a chief executive,
when their country was in such troub-
le, and that was in olden times when
the fat despot, Emperor Nero, fd-
died while Rome burnedl Little did
he care and little does Grover seem to
care! If you compare the pictures Of
the two you can notice a strong re-
semblence and all that is needed to
make them act in the same way is a
exchange of time between them.
What "change," indeed, this coun-
try has from the wise, thoughtful up
right, brave soldier, Gen. Harrison,
to the foxy, shrinking, cowardly sub
stitute hirer and old soldier hater,
Grover Cleveland. Is the country
proud of the change? If it is we pity

WHO ELECTED CLEVELAND.

Democratic organs assert that
Cleveland was elected by a large ma
jority and that the charge that the
present business conditions are the re-
suit of Democratic assendency is can
insult to the people" The people
deliberately elected Cleveland, we
are told, on a free trade, wildcat
money platform; and the statement
that his election has brought about
universal loss of confidence is secuted
as "preposterous." This Democrat
ic pretense is so obviously a humbug
that it ought not to impose on any
reader of ordinary intelligence. In
the first place the assumption that Mr..
Cleveland was the choice of a MAORI
ty of American voters is halsehood.
Mr.. Cleveland is a minority Presi-
dent. His supporters were in min
ority of over a million last November.
In the second place, Mr.. Cleveland
was not the choice of a majority the
substantial, intelligent citizens of the
nation. OF course he had some sub
stantial and worthy supporters, but he
was elected by a combination be.

full of Republicanism. We believe
in "talkin' out in meetin'" and say

having ideas and knowing our reasons
for the same and then being ready to
tell them and stand by them when ne

We do not believe in these half

MARYVlLL AND THE TIMES.
Messrs A. Goddard & Sons.

Messrs A. Goddard & Sons.
Gents, | am sorry that you were
compelled to cut down the size of
your paper. the TINES, but l have OBJ
served the small amount of advertis-
ing from the business men, profess
ional men, and manufacturers, and
am not surprised that you were COM
PEELED to do what will evidently in
jure Maryville, and the county. The
TIMES did more to build up the bust
ness of the towns and county, than
everything else combined. | learned
from the K. & A. Railroad that the
business of the Railroad increased
100 per cent since the advent of the
TINES, and | believe it can be truly
said, that the town of Maryville, is
today 200 per cent better than it was
before the establishing of the TINES.
Look over the improvements of Mary
vllle-Her educational interests
Her manufacturing-fne residences
Business houses-Stdres of goods,
and you will have no trouble to see
that some power was at work during
the last nine years, that failed to work
before, in stimulating all classes oi
her people, besides the agriculture Of
the county was increased and stimu-
lated by the columns of the TINES.
| trust the good people of all the
Towns in the county and the Farmers
will at once set to work to remedy
this, SO that the TIMES may again be-
come an eight page paper filled with
good things and that the business
men, Professional men, Manufact-
urers and Schools, come up to the
work necessary to do this. / trust
the Holidays will not have passed be-
fore we shall be created with the old
sized TINES. l am with respect
yours for the prosperity of the Mary

a futile effort to convince the public
that the Gripping of credit and the
dearth of enterprise are due to some
other reasons than Democratic tri-
umph on the Chicago platform Of dis
truction. But the people are not de-
ceived. They know that this govern
ment has been purchasing silver since
1879, and that the alton has made
progress during that time in giant
strides. They know that the country
went on prospering under the Sher-
man law so long as the Republican
party was in power; they know that
the year before the election Of Clcve-
land, with the Sherman law in full
operation, was the most prosperous in
the nations annals
The Democratic party has de-
clared that it will revolutionize every
industrial condition. 1t has demand
ed the restoration of the irredeemable
state bank currency of ante-bullum
days. 1t has pledged itself to repea,
the tariff that maintains American in
dustrial independence and American
standards Of living in the homes of
labor. 1t has denounced the captains'of
American idustry as robbers and OPP
pressors; it has proclaimed them the
enemies of society, and urged the ne
cessity of making their investments
valueless and of depriving them of the
power to give employment to Ameri-
can workingmen. In the fore front
of this crusade of anarchy and false
hood Grover Cleveland has been
found. He has played the part of a
demagogue without conscience or pa
i triotism, in order to win the applause
Of the ignorant element of his party.
With such a man in the Presidential
chair and such party as the Denoc-
, racy dominant in both. branches of
Congress, stoppage Of enterprise,
dearth of credit and widespread disas
ter to the interests Of the nation were
inevitable. Search the Sherman law
for the causes Of the nations loss Of
more than billion dollars since Nov
ember and you will search in vain.
The factors which have changed con-
fdence into distrust and prosperity in
to panic are not found in the statute
books. They are found in the de-
mands of the Chicago platform, and
the record Of the Democratic party.

lust after President Cleveland had
delivered his unsuggestlve apology
for message to Congress, the people
read with surprise that the chief ex-
ecutive of the nation was to leave the
capital and go back to Buzzard's bay
and fish while Congress was left with
no defined policy and no idea what
to do in one of the gravest times in
our country's history. People won
dered how he could go miles from the
seat of Government at such a time.
If he was patriotic he would surely
wish to be right on the ground where
he could closely watch the move
ments made. If he was the great
leader his friends have styled him he
surely would wish to be near so that
he could consult with his party lead
ers and advise them as to good poll
cy. But none of these things does
this ''stufied prophet" do. Just as
soon as he sends in one Of the weak
est messages ever read before our
National Legislature, he goes back to
his comfortable quarters and seemly
takes no more interest in the affairs OF
government than a thoughtless school
boy. Every day we read that the
President was out in boat fishing
four, five, or six hours as the case
may be and he made a good catch, OF
had poor luck. Such actions are
highly exasperating to a suffering
people.
If this lump of fat, with not spark
of craftsmanship about him, has to &c
to Buzzards Bay, he could at least
manifest an interest as to what is going
on at Washington and stay on the
land instead of going out miles away
and staying out where he could moi
be reached for hours if the present
idiotic congress would decide to burr
the capitol and all go fishing.

the language was used that the hH-
