Here is an excess of almost $39, ,00O,-
900 as a starter. But the appropria-
tions made were not enough, and al
ready the present congress has had to
pass five deficiency bills, carrying an
aggregate of q, 571, 577; and the chair
man of the appropriations committee
declared recently that the total of ap-
preparations which must be made to
cover the deficiencies of the Fifty-sec-
ond congress will reach s14, ZOO, 900.
This makes the amount spent by the
Fifty-second congress almost $53, 900, =
600 more than was appropriated by the
much-abused "billion-dollar congress"

The democratic party can be cred
tied with making homes for the home
less In a wholesale way. Under the
wicked Mckinley bill and republican
rule the hot smoke belched forth from
all fsctories-snd the chimney swallow
had no place to hang its nest. But the
democratic rule, Wilson bill and trust
worship had made homes for all the
swallows by killing the factory fires,
and the towers now hold thousands of
these fleeting twitterers. They have
made homes for these fly cstchers in
the deserted chimneys, and made the
workingman desert his home for want
of work. The democratic brains, when
managing nation, are outclsssed, and
know only the road to an open grave
by way of the slaughter house and de-
serted workshops

Who does not remember the bra ying
of the democratic press about the bill
lion-dollar congress?'' OF course all In
telllgent observers of events knew that
it was primarily the manifestation of
the intense hatred of the democrats 70
the soldier element, especially over the
passage of the disability pension law
by the Fifty-frst congress; and, second,
a pursuance of the well-known demo-
cratic policy of raising parrot-cry to
mislead the masses For 1t has long
been the policy of the democratic lead
ers to assume that the people are fools.
and will believe an oft-repeated false
hood, and acS upon that belief, sooner
than take the trouble to ascertain the
truth; and oar political history records
q number of instances in which they
were successful thereby.
No partisan catch-phrase was ever
worked to such an extent as the "bil-
non-dollar congress-" In point of fact,
the appropriations made by the Fifty.
first congress were below that figure,
but the ignorant among the voters be
lieved the lie, and took no trouble 70
ascertain the facts. The house of the
Fifty-second congress was democratic,
and one of it's first acts was the adop.
ton of buncombe resolution, intro.
duced by that intolerable old humbug,
Holman, which declared that ''no
money ought to be appropriated by
congress from the public treasury ex'
cept such as is manifestly necessary to
carry on the several departments fru'
gally, efficiently and honestly admin
istered."
One might justly suppose that, after
the howl concerning the "billion dol
ar congress-" and the adoption of such
q resolution, the democrats of the
house would, If only for partisan ad
vantage, cut down the appropriation
below the figures of the preceding con
gress. The fact is, however. that the
Fifty-second congress spent more thar
its predecessor. Here are the figures

the country's judgment2 The answer
the republican vote, but in the demo-
cratic revolt against sectionalism and
the classism of the degenerate democ-
racy. This revolt no longer is thing
of speculation. The attitude OF men
like Senator Hill, of New York, Sem
ator Smith, of New Jersey, and Senator
Brice, of Ohio, shows the manner In
which the democracy of the north has
revolted against the narrow, selfish
sectionalism of the policy adopted by
Grover Cleveland and enforced by
southern representatives of the democ-
racy. ...., -.
There is nothing in that policy
which speaks for the whole people"
Every thing in it shows discrimination
in favor of the south. It is an asser-
ton of sectional selfshness that has
no parallel in the history of the coun-
try for the last generation In 1t there
is no protection for northern inter
ests, but there Is protection for cvery-
thing which the south desires to culti-
vate. The south is not a manufacture
ing country, while In the north and
east manufactures flourish. There
fore, this democratic tariff bill discrim-
mates against manufactures while
giving protection to comparatively In
significant southern interests.
The people who were impressed by
democratic pretensions of a desire to
legislate for the whole country
have had rude awakening. They see
at last that the south, as it was before
the war, is the animating and domin-
ating spirit, and see, moreover, that
the party under such direction is intent
on enforcing purely selfish, narrow
and sectional policy. 1t is Everything
for the south; nothing for the rest Of
the country"
The discovery has como late in the
day, but not too late, and this ex-
plains why there is such tremendous
revolt against the democratic party, as
it is represented by Cleveland and the
men of the south.-Albany Journal.

TIE PEOPLES INTERESTS.
How They Have Been Looked After by
the Democrats.

How They Have Been Looked After by
the Democrats.
All through the speeches on the tariff
made by democrats in congress there
is the pretense that democracy is ani-
mated by the single purpose of legis-
lating in the interests of the whole
people" and not for section This is
shallow demagogism, which, having
been successfully employed before the
national convention of 1892, is still
used in the expectation that it will con-
tinue to delude the thoughtless and the
ignorant
It's a specious argument, and was
more or less effective before the demo-
Gratis put their theories into form, APP
pealing to the country on the broad
ground that protection was class legis-
lation, land class legislation being re-
pugnant to the American principle of
government, the argument swayed the
minds OF men OF intelligence, but, who,
unfortunately for themselves, their
party and their country had not given
proper and close attention TO this abb
truse question.
On general principles the people of
the United States are opposed to class
legislation, and party which legis-
lated in the interest of class to the
exclusion of the interests of the many,
would deserve to be driven ignomini-
ously from power.
1t was claimed by tariff reformers of
the Cleveland school that this was the
republican policy, and when a promise
was made that change in the govern
ment would be followed by the enact
ment of laws ''in the interest of the
whole people," impressionable, sus-
ceptible, sentimental and not well In
formed persons applauded, and said;
This is the broad, patriotic party for
which the country has been waiting
these many years. We will support
1t, for it legislates Sin the interest of
the whole people"
So the democratic party was returned
to power. 1t had control of the execu-
tive and legislative departments of the
government There was nothing TO
check its work Of reform. 1t was a.
free as the wind.
The time has now come when 1t is be-
ing judged by fts works, and what is

For the week ending May %, says;
"The past week was unseasonably cold

the general crop conditions are not SO

Corn has partially recovered from its

are heard of the ravages of cut worms,
and some replsnting has been necessi-

by the partial failure of oats in many
localities.
The prevalent drouth is injurious to
ell spring grain, and the hay crop is
damaged past recovery. Pastures are
