Lancaster Democrat.
Every day develops something of
q startling nature, concerning pub
lie expenditures that are wonder
ful in magnitude, and it is not to
be wondered at that taxpayers are
beginning to grumble of the heavy
load they are carrying in the way
of paying taxes. The Ne'Oark A a.
cocate, in the following article,
strikes right from the shoulder up-
on the matter of public expendit-
ures.
"There has not been hostile gun
fred in the United States in the
last twenty-eight years. Nearly
all these years have been years of
unexampled prosperity in every
department of industry.
ain the last four years the people
besides their State and local taxes,
have contributed to the support of
the National Government over ST.
$50, 900 900, sum averaging over
$23 for every man, woman and
child in the Nation"
This vast sum is nearly $780,
900, 900 more than was received by
the people during the four years of
Mr.. Cleveland's first adninistra-
ton.
Mr.. Cleveland left ever $1OO,OOO,-
900 in the Trea sury at the close of
his administration, after paying
$ls0,OO0,O0O interest on the public
debt and all.the principal of it that
ma tured.
The Harrison administration
paid but 1926, 900, 900 of interest and
no more of the principal than was
paid by Mr.. Cleveland. Yet it spent
that magnificent surplus of $780,
100000, and left the Treasury bank
rupt,-it left laws on the statute
books requiring expenditures far
beyond what the receipts of the
Government could possibly be.
Secretary Carlisle, to meet the oh
legations of the government Great
ed under. these infamously extrav-
agant laws, must appear before
Congress and ask for authority to
issue bonds.
No blacker blot was ever put up
on the country than this.

Set Yourselves Right.

BY the platform eff 1892 the Dem
ocratic party was pledged to all the
principles and policy of the party
that have come to US through a
line of illustrous men, spoken and
written not only in their carefully
prepared public speeches, but en-
bodied in the deliberations of the
party EXPRESSED in many platforms.
We have carefully read all the in
augurals of Democratic presidents
all the messages and every plat
form, and in no instance do we find
in time of peace a recommends
tiOn of an income tax.
This is true, we believe, not only
of the Democrats, but of the Whig
party and the Republicans. Once
out of the straight and honest line
Of Democratic policy,many a crook
ed way and expedient can be found.
The ways and means committee,
in preparing the Wilson bill, de-
parted from the historical policy
of the Democratic party In more
ways than one. They leaned far
over toward the Populists. They
forsook the plain injunctions Of the
party, laid down in the platform Of
1892, fairly and honestly interpret.

letter of acceptance. Instead OF
working towards tariff reform
and consequent reduction of tax,

The Disseminated Pendulum.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.


The Mckinley bill is the cause
of the revolution against high tar
iff. When the Morrill, tariff was
passed in 1861 it was designed as q
bill for raising revenue, and was
acquiescediin as a war measure.
The demand for.Hgoods was very
great-prices rose right up to the
tariff, manufacturers made big
money and the beginning of bar
onial estates began. Avarice grows
by what it feeds on. In this case
it had good, strong partner in the
government, which built high
wall for it's protection. The wall
was not high enough. The owners
of high protected industries united
by inordinate avarice, demanded a
higher wall, one that would pro-
hibit importation, one that would
enable them to exact more tribute
from their countrymen. Their
wishes were embodied in the Nc
Kinley law of 1890; so it may be
legalized avarice. Those who were
forced to pay the tribute which
went into the pockets of privilege
ed class and not into the govern
ment treasury, began to rebel, and
their protest was heard in the vote
of 1892 in the election of President
Cleveland and the present con-
gress. One more swing of the ma
tional pendulum, away from a tar
iff for tribute and incidental re-
venue, towards one for revenue
and incidental protection. II is
strange that it seems to swing too
far in it's effort to get away from
the doctrine of McKinleyism? The
people were discontented.T They saw
an unequal distribution of wealth,
and that this was done by a law
which protected the few at the ex-
pense of the masses. The common
sense of the people is sure to de-
lnand common justice, and that
means equel taxation. 1t does not
mean that the many shall demand
that the few shall pay all the ex-
penses of the government, or that
a privileged class shall be built up
at the expense of the few. One is
as unjust rs the other.
Free trade is the opposite of a
prohibitive tariff. One extreme
follows another. The national
pendulum must pc SO set that il
will not swing to either extreme.
Then the people will be contented
for business will resume and good
cheer will come again.
What we want is Il tariff bill fol
revenue-an old-fashi0ned, historic
Democratic tariff. When we have
such bill embodying the prin.
ciples proposed in the bill at the
head of our editorial page, it will
give the revenue which the govern.
ment requires, and all the protec.
tion which anyone has q right to
as4. To the the senate is commit.
ted the duty of preparing this tariff
law.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-02-10

If the Senate refuses to concur
jim substantially all the provisions
of the Wilson bill as it passed the
House, it will be to many an indi-
ca tion that that. body is too far re-
moved from the people, and the
movement to have the Senators
elected by popular vote receive a
new impetus.-Press-Post.
You mean that the II. s. Senate
is rather to far removed from the
influence that makes the lower
House of Congress subservient to
the whims and yagaries of cent.
raj figure. Why should the Senate
concur in all the provisions of the
Wilson bill? Every Democrat in
land knows that the Wilson bill as
it passed the House violates every
pledge made by the party on the
tariff question. The people just
now would much prefer an oppor'
tppity to vote for members of the
lower House of Congress. AS te
what their verdict would be you
have only to examine the returns
from the 18th and 18th New Yorh
Congressional districts at the speci
al election on the 30th ult. The
people are well satisfied that theil
forefathers wisely provided bal
ance wheel in our law making
councils to check hasty and incon
siderate Legislation, especially OF
the emotional and hysterical char
acter the people have had an OBJ
ject lesson of a short time ago
Why should the Senate shut theil
eyes and blindly swallow the Viii
son layout at guIp? The Senat,
will not be unmindfnl of the de-
pressed and unsettled condition O
the varied business interests of thu
country.

Populist or Democrat.

Plain Dealer.
The House of Representatives,
which was elected on Democratic
platform, and which was pledged
by all honor that could exist be-
tween Representatives and the peo.
pie who elected them, was pledged
to principles of the Democratic par
ty, as ennunciated in the platform
of 1892. Already, majority claim
ing to be Democrats, but acting AS
if they were Populists, have agreed
to override. the instructions of the
platform to enact revenue tariff
bill, and are trying to place bas.
tard bill on the Democratic door
step.
They have placed wool, sugar,
coal and iron ore ON the "free list"
sadly ignoring the idea for reven.
ue. These radicals have leaned
over to the demands of the P0pu-
lists, call themselves free traders,
and are posing under the sacred
name of Democracy.
The question is soon to be asked.
are these men Democrats or Popu-
lists? Are they going TO deliver so
much of the Democratic party AS
will follow them into the ranks of
the Populists, or are they to stop in
their mad career and come back
with the old time h0nored princi-
pies of Democracy, to the plain and
distinct instruction of the platform
and enact a tariff bill whose pur-
pose shall be for revenue? Can it
be- that we must apply to them the
old adage, "Whom the gods wish
to destroy, they first make mad ?"
Can 1t be that the great Democra-
cy of this country, the friends of
the people, the friends of equity,
justice and fair dealing, equal tax
alton and equal rights, are to prove
recreant to the trust that has been
imposed upon them? Can it be
that these men to whom the coun-
try looked for reform, and not for
destruction of the tariff, will enact
a law which in 0ne-half is project
i've tariff, and In the other IL free
trade? Can 1t be- that these men
from whom so much was expected
are going to be the destroyers Of
one half Of the great industries, for
the purpose, not of obtaining rev.
enue, but for the purpose nf helr,

lead, copper, lumber ana wool--in-
stead of keeping them under the
tariff and collecting revenue from
them, put them on the free list
and proposed to admit these pro-
ducts from every country in the
world free into our markets. AS
is claimed by the radical free trad
ers and the Republicans, this is but
the beginning of " total abolition
of the tariff system.
Reformation does not mean abo-
II tion; reformation does not mean
destruction. 1t is as plain as day
light that the intention of the max
ers of the Democratic platform
was to perpetuate the tariff system
as the revenue system. 1t was es-
tablished by the party, and has
been perpetuated, not only by Dem
ocratic administrations, but by
every other in the history of the
country, and was accepted as the
American system of raising reve-
nue..
When the ways and means COM
mittee departed from this we'll es-'
tablished policy and adopted the
heresies of the Populists, and had
8 tricken off more than $50,000,000
of revenue which could have been
easily obtained under well adj
justed tariff system, they were
forced to resort to new and untried
means with which to obtain mon
ey. 1t was system of obtaining
money under false pretenses, and
there is no other name for it. Con-
gress was plainly instructed and
directed by the Democratic plat
form of 1892 to pass tariff law,
the center idea of which should be
to raise revenue. 1t was not in
structed to place all of the founda-
tion industries of the country on
the free trade basis, and thus de-
stroy revenue that could be obtain
ed from this source.
They were plainly directed to
treat all industries alike. Presi-
d ent Cleveland in his letter of ac-
ceptance, in about as strong langu-
age as could be commanded, de-
clares that free trade is impossible
but the ways and means commit
tee decided that free trade ON all
the foundation industries Of this
country was possible, and so, in
direct opposition to the plain in
structions of the platform and the
words of the president in his letter
of acceptance, they sent over-to the
senate bill that is not revenue
bill, but mongrel, half free trade
and half protective.
Again in no line of work was
this committee asked by petition
or platform to oppose an income
tax.
Having gone out of the line Of
Democratic policy and history they
had to resort to undemocratic
measures in order to obtain reve-
nue.. The Populist party demand
ed an income tax in their platform

at South Bethlehem, on Friday, in refer
ence TO the grade crossings of the new line
I'm Mahanoy City and Shenandoah The
Lehigh Valley officials have opposed the
grade crossings and as a reason Mr.
Wilbur cited the danger to the electric

Baily replied that overhead bridges would
be impracticable, and as to danger, the
Valley Company would hardly be held
liable. The matter was referred to the
railroad company's legal department and
permit to cross will probably be handed
the Lakeside company to-day.
The line to Lakeside mas been surveyed
and contracts for grading will be awarded
next week The company hope to carry
Delano passengers by June 10, and TO
Lakeside month later. The route sur
veyed is by way of the wagon road from
Trenton to Delano, passing through the
part of Delauo near which the church is
located and out across the railroad west
Of the wagon bridge. The line from this
point to Grier City will be parallel with
the wagon road for some distance, but
about 600 feet west
From Grier City to the picnic grounds
It will traverse the wagon road. The
passengers from Delano to Grier City will
enjoy a delightful and exciting ride. No
better view could be had of the summer
beauties of the Quakake valley than
while riding down the steep mountain
incline. The grade on this part Of the
line is nearly 275 feet to the mile or about
twice the pitch of the Valley road west Of
the Mahanoy City station.
As there need be few stops the run from
Shenandoah to Lakeside may be made in
45 minutes and from Mahanoy City in a
half hour.
