of year ago will show the average citi-
zen one of the ways in which Demo-
cratic rule is not helping him.
Mr. Wilson is going to Europe, where
he will be cordially received as one of
the leaders in the work of promoting
the commercial interests of that part
Of the world at the expense Of his own
country.
Think of the Democratic party COM
promising with itself ON the question
Of carrying out one of the pledges in
its own platform.
AS often as PETER resumes his speech
the average American citizen feels an
inclination to throw q brick at some
thing.
The greatest bother of the average
Democratic Congressman is the fact
that protected products and industries
are not restricted to Republican dis
tricts.
There is not a section in the Wilson
bill that will add a cent to the wages
of any American workingman, but
there are many sections that will have
the opposite effect.
The income tax is intended to reach
those citizens who by any chance es.
cape the profit smashing operation of
the Wilson bill.
The present Congress is to be thanked
for having failed to live up to a good
many of its threats.
The treasury gold fund is creeping
up a little, but it is still SO badly de.
pleted that the necessity. for another
sale of bonds continues to be an indis-
putable fact.
A Missouri woman has recently writ
ten a letter in her sleep; but Cleveland
can not plead somnambulism in the
case of the one that he wrote to Wilson.
Cleveland let the tariff bill become q
law without his signature, and then
let the fall elections prove that he
ought to have vetoed it.
Whose bill is it, anyway? Some
call it the German bill, some the Will.
son bill, Others the Wilson-G German
bill. But Wilson said he voted for il
only because the Sugar Trusts hand
was on his throat, while German would
have preferred to see it Sent back tc
the Senate and killed. And Cleveland
won't ever put his name to it. Like
the mule, it has neither pride of an
cestry nor hope of prosperity.
The Cuckoos are about to fit Mr.
Cleveland with a new halo. So they
would if he had signed it,.
AS a result of Democratic rule, ont
class of men have their hands full
lne WHISKY BauBer5'
The new tariff will enrich the Sugar
Trust just as largely without as with
Mr.. Cleveland's signature.
Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to care
a button for the Democratic party. Tit
country is with him On that point.
The Mckinley duties on cotton good
are reduced. So are the wages of tn,
Fall River and New Bedford cottol
operatives.
When the Republican party was il
power it never failed to secure actor
upon any important question within
reasonable time, and never disappoint
ed the people in the wisdom and useful
ness of such action.
The outlook for things to justify
Thanksgiving proclamation is seriousl,
clouded by the miserble conduct of tn,
Democratic party.
A split on the silver issue would Gu
the Democracy near the middle, Will
it would knock off only a small seq
ment of the Republican party.
If Hill had behaved as well last yea
as he is behaving this year his vote il
the Chicago Convention would hav'
been considerably larger.
Hill has both pluck and sense, which
is a rare combination of good qualitie
in a Democratic Senator in this crisis
No session of Congress talked NOR
and did less for the country than tn,
one whose days are fortunately ended
If Gen. Coxey could be prosecute,
under the law for getting the common
wealers to Washington under falls
pretenses, as many a nan has been TO
getting money under false pretensef
he would be returned to Jail instead o
being allowed to run for Congress.
In the first year of his first teri
President Cleveland busted himself i
writing vetoes. In the first zeal of hi
second term his vetoes have been abou
as scarce as hen s teeth. Has Congress
improved or has he deterioratedp
