and thelrobbery still goes on by demo
cratic consent and under democratic au-
spices. We have had ademocratic presi-
dent ami a democratic congress sixty
days and there are some results. Cleve-
land has done several things. He has
hauled Down the flag where gallant Ben
Harrisoh and the republicans ran it up
in the name of liberty ON the Sandwich
islands,iand more than that he gave to a
confederate the first chance that any con-
federate ever had to haul "old glory'
down. / Il :...-+. --...
He and his secretary Of the treasury
have already given the country plain
foretaste of democratic ideas of finance
and business; have already frightened
the business world, practically made a
suspension of discount in all the banks
of the couotry, and created uneasiness
and fear where safety and prosperity
ruled Before. The new administration
also hab shown an adverse balance of for
eign trade IN the last four months of
$50 ,00O, 900, as against favorable ba-
llnce Gf over $7O.OOO,OOO in the first
four months of the Harrison administra-
ton.
1t is about to change another great re-
suit, in proposing to pay the pensions of
the Union soldiers in due bills. Already
are the democrats going at such pace
that it. plain to all honest men that the
Republicans in the present congress will
have to choose between allowing the
democratic party to kill itself and pro-
tecting and saving the business interests
tof the country. We 90 into the conflict
to maintain our old principles with un.
diminished faith and fervor. On all the

In the nations field the republican
| party finds plain encouragement in the
present attitude of many of the elements
that helped to elect Cleveland and free
trade and are now repenting of it. Many
of the great capitalists in the moneycenters
opposed the republican party last yeal
for the first time, because, they said, its
policies have been too constructive and
to creative, and made the country and all
the people too prosperous.
j They are not complaining of that now.
Tens Of thousands of workingmen left

that free trade would decrease their ex-
penses of living,while the power of their
| trades unions would keep up their wages.

| A quarter of a million of union soldiers,
needy and growing old, who were made
to believe that the democratic party and
the mugwumps had lost their hatred of
them, and would continue their pensions
the same as the republican party while
free trade would give them cheaper things
are learning already the bitter results of
their delusion in voting for Cleveland.
All these men the republican party will
welcome home and defend, to all Union
soldiers it will keep sacredly the cove
nants of Lincoln and Grant and die with
them Or for them, if need shall be.
AS to money and banking, the cou1,-

minority in congress for defence from

licans and the sagacity of the Republi-
cans minority in congress will doubtless
provide, with the aid of conservative

democrats in that body, some provision
in substitution for the Sherman act, or
in supplement- to it, securing the con-
tinued enlargement of the currency of
the country upon "a safe basis, and in a
manner which will preserve continued
purity in the value of coined gold and
silver.
