see is the illumination from the prin-
ciples of true, honest and pure Democ-

November, 1892. How has it been full
filled? The condition of governmental
affairs can be pretty clearly understood
| from the following dispatch from Wash
ington, dated the I'd of July:
The comparative statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the government
| for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894,
| issued at the treasury today shows the
| receipts to have been S296,960,33G and
the expenditures $500. 593,359. which
| leaves deficit of 500, 633, 023. IT, Gus
| toms receipts show falling off of about
S71, 100000 and internal revenue about
| $14,000.00O. There was an increase Of
| about S4,500,0O0 in the expenditures on
| account of the war department, and about
| S1,5OO,0OO on account Of the navy,

Where does Mr. Cleveland see the
| light of hope and safety| Where is
| the illumination streaming from the
principles of true honest and pure De-
rupt, a general breaking down of all in
| dustrieS, a stagnatiOn of business, per-
| tldiOuS leadership, an incompetent Con-
| greSS, fostering of trusts, and q stu
pendous wreckage of all pledges, are the
results of q Cleveland victory.
More Light from Texas.
| After the sheep-grOwers and business
men of San Angelo, Tex, held a meet
ing in June to protest against the free
! secretary was authorized to send the
following dispatch, which, with the an
swer, form some interesting reading:
San Angelo, June 10, 1S94.-To Senator
Senator Mills shown you telegram of reso-
| lutiOns passed by citizens mass meeting
here yesterday in regard to wool as per in
Chas W. Hobbs, Secretary.
Washington. June 10, 1S94.-Chas. w.
Hobbs. Secretary, San Angelo: Senator
| Mills did not present telegram, but author
| lied me to state to Senate action of your
meeting, which will do. John Sherman.
The meeting was largely composed of
Democrats; and the curious thing about
the matter is that the Democratic farm
ers and business men of the rock-ribbed
| Democratic state of Texas, should ask
John Sherman, a Republican senator of
Ohio to act as a Texas senator in repre-
senting them on the question of protecting
their business interests against the de-
Structiye influence of Il Democratic Con-
| gross.

Some Points of Interest.
The Troy Times, Democratic: '"Tbe
| President should understand that the
popular apprehension springs not so much
from croaking as from distrust of the
party now in control of the national
finances. The croalIng of wnch he
complains does not compare with that in
which he INDUCED as Il candidate for
the place he now holds. If he viii whiD
his wild congressional team into line for
sensible action he will have no need for
solemn assurances and warnings against
listening to disquieting tales"
The Springfield (Mass.) Union: ''The
Western farmers, who went into the
Democratic party in 1892 because that
party promised dollar wheat" have
learned that Democratic promises are not
worth fifty cents on a dollar"
A senator states in very terse language
the character of the Democratic tariff
bill: In the cost in money, the destruc-
ton of property, the ruin of trade, the
misery, the starvation of men accustomed
to work for the comforts of life, this
bill is .twofold worse than four years
of war"
In Lincoln's first speech on the tariff
he put mighty argument in a very
few lines: when an American pays
twenty dollars for steel to an English
manufacturer, America has the steel and
England has the twenty dollars. But
. when he pays twenty dollars for steel
to an American manufacturer. America
has both the steel and the twenty dol
| lars"
The Inter-Ocean: cit costs the Ameri
can farmer from 10 to - cents per
pound to raise wool. The Australian
cost is from to 6 cents per pound So
Democrats propose to raise their wool in
Australia. If wool growers had been as
smart as the sugar men. and organized
and bought into the administration in adj
vance, they today would not be making
mutton out of their focks''
