much softer, and, wearing away more
rapidly, leaves a sharp-cutting edge al

there are FISH and animals that build
houses; there are bees that make nests
in the ground and line them with the
softest leaves they can procure.

In favor of the south IL is an asser-
ton of sectional selfishness that has
no parallel in the history of the coun-
try for the last generation. In it there
is no protection for northern inter
ests, but there is protection for every
thing which the south desires to Guilt
vate. The south is not manufactur-
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 We're impressed by
democratic pretensions of desire to
legislate for the whole country, -
have had a rude awakening. They see
at last that the south, as il 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 come 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 10y Cleveland and the
men of the south. Albany Journal

THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE.
How They Have Been Looked After by
the Democrats.

Az through the speeches on the tariff
made by democrats in congress there
is the pretense That democracy is anil
mated by the single purpose of legis-
lating in the interests of thu 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 v al con-
tinue TO delude the thoughtless and the
ignorant
II is a specious argument, and was
more or less eff cctive before the demo-
Gratis put their theories into form, APP
pealing to the country on the broad
ground that protection was class legis-
lation. and class legislation being re-
pugnant 20 the American principe of
government, the argument swayed the
minds of men of Intelligence, but, who,
unfc -tunately for themselves, their
party and their country had not given
proper and close attention to this alb
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 10 be driven ignomini-
ously from power.
II was claimed by tariff reformers of
the Cleveland school that this was the
republican policy, and when 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 applaudea, and said:
This is the broad, patriotic party for
which the country has been waiting
these many years. We will support
it, for il legis,ates in the interest of
the whole people.
So the democratic party was returned
to power. 1t had control of the execu-
tive and legislative departmen is of the
government There was nothing to
check its work of reform. 1t was as
free a the wind.
The time has now come when il is be-
ing judged by its works, and what is
the country's Judgment? The answer
is found, not in the rehabilitation of
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, Sen
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 enfoI reed by
southern representatives of the democ-
racy.
There is nothing in that policy
which speaks for the whole people.
Everything in it shows discrimination

ECONOMY OF THE DEMOCRATS.
RecoiI of the Rant About Republican Ex-
trIyagancc.

Who does not rememb Der the braying
OF the democratic press about the bill
lion-dollar congress- OF course all in
telligent observers of events knew that
it was primarily the manifestation of
the intense hatred of the democrats to
the soldier element, especially over the
passage of the disability pension law
by the Fifty-first congress; and, second,
q pursuance of the well-known demo-
cratic policy of raising parrot-cry to
mislead the masses For il has long
been the policy of the democratic lead
crs to assume that the people are fools,
and will believe an oftrepeated false
hood, and act upon that belief, sooner
than take the trouble to ascertain the
truth; and orr political history records
a number of instances in which they
were successful thereby.
No partisan cateh-phrase was ever
worked TO such an extent as the bit
lion-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 TO
ascertain the facts The house of the
Fifty-second congress was democratic,
and one of its first acts was the adop-
ton of buncombe resolution, intro
duced by that intolerable old humbug,
Holman, which declared that mo
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-" AMI the adoption of such
a resolution. the democrats of the
house would. if only for partisan adj
vantage. cut down the appropriations
below the figures of the preceding con-
gress. The fact is, however. that the
Fiftv-second congress spent more than
its predecessor. Here are the figures
from the official footings of the clerk
of the appropriations committee:
The F,fty-first, the "billion-dollar
congress" appropriated s9ss, 417,lS3.
The Fifty-seeond congress, demo-
cratic, appropriated s. 027, lO4,5i7.
Here is an excess of almost $50, 000,-
600 as a starter. But the appropria-
tions made we're not enough, and al
ready the present congress has had to
pass five deficiency bills, carrying an
aggregate OF q. 57l, BIZ; and the chair
man of the appropriations committee
declared recently that the total of APP
preparations which must be made to
cover the deficiencies of the Fifty-sec-
ond congress will reach sl4, 600, 900.
This makes the amount spent by the
Fifty-second congress almost $50,
900 more than was appropriated by the
much-abused 'billion-dollar congress-
If there is any voter stupid enough to
hereafter believe any democratic rant
concerning republican extravaganza"
and democratic economy" he should
at once array himself with the re-
mainder of the fools and idiots of the
country. Toledo Blade.
