CLEVELAND AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
Cleveland, the first thing after enter
Ing office. increased the public debt fifty
millions and burdened US with s, ,6OO,-
600 more interest, paying 5 per cent Tor
the loan, when We are all borrowing
money at 4 per cent. all this trouble
was caused by inability and Ignorance.
Like every other big corporation, our
government must be run on business
principles, and 1t takes ability to run 1t
properly. It is like running an engine.
the engineer must know how or he will
ruin the machine. An evidence OF this
inability is shown by the decrease Of
the gold reserve. 1t was down nearly
to the one million mark under Harrison,
but under Cleveland, notwithstanding
the repeal OF that awful bugbear. the
Sherman silver act, the gold continued
to flow outward, and Democracy was
powerless to devise means 10 stop 1t.

Wilson says the fight has just begun,

about 1t, and he and Grover, those un.

WILSON'S aLfTTERIsa agSEEAiITtEs.
The war cost millions, but the benefit
to the country by cementing the ditier'
ent sections was ample payment, but
where 10 the benefit derived by the five
billion dollar shrinkage in values
caused by this obnoxious bill2 Mr..
Wilson says trusts must 60, but here
are the facte: Sugar trust given forty
millions; whisky trust given fifteen
millions; New Dominion Coal Company
given a reduction OF the coal tariff,
which will net them $50, 900, 900 at the
expense OF our coal fields. Mr.: Wilson
never gives facts, but deals in glittering
generalities, something to come, but
something which you can never put
your hand upon. The New Dominion
Coal Com pany can deliver coal to Bos-
ton markets now one dollar cheaper per
ton than West Virginia operators, and
our markets are gone. Tobacco. liquors,
laces and embroideries, ostrich feathers
and kid gloves are made cheaper. The
tariff ia reduced on all these articles
used go extensively by the poor man,
and our coal, wool and timber must be
given up.

Democrats thinks OF this bill. ut is not
