tration is entitled to credit, as against

credit must be given to the last Demo-
cratic administration.
8. Now as to the Republican claim
that the reduction in the city's debt
and the increase of its cash balance
have been due to Republican economy.
There is no economy, of course, i'll max
ing tax levies. In all truth, the levy of
taxes OF any kind upon a population so
hard driven as has been that of this city
for eighteen months past would seem to
the ordinary mind to be subject for
apology rather than self-congratulation
But the Bell charter required tax levles
during the years prior to and including
1894 for the purpose of paying certain
portion of the city debt, and for the
levies of this kind tnat have been made
neither the Democratic administration
nor the Republican administration is
entitled to any credit or. subj ect to any
cenSure. Now 1T seems literally true
that substantially every dollar which
has been paid or has accumulated to
better the financial condition Of the
city, as above related Except the $4,000
stolen from the school fund.-, has been
derived from taxes levied and collected
for the purpose.
In what way have our Republican
friends practiced economy? There is
but one way in which any. municip al
administration can practice it, and that
is in cutting down the expenses of oper
ating the different departments of the
city government and in curtailing the
miscellaneous items of expense which,
in one form and another, are each year
incurred by 1t. The plain fact is that,
so far from any new economy being
practiced in these matters, it is costing
the Republican administration more to
carry on the city government for year
under the Bell charter than it cost the
last Democratic administration to carry
1t on under the same charter for the
same length Of time.
Let us look at the figures. The
Democratic party was in power for
tritle over year after the Bell charter
went into effect, going out of power
June 6. 1872. The Republican party has
been in power Tor one entire fiscal year.
1893. We will compare the expense OF
carrying on the municipal government
for the year from June 6. 1891. to June
6, 1892. the last year of Democratic con-
troll. and the only year of such control
under the provisions of the Bell charter,
with the sxpense of carrying on the
same government under Republican
control for the fiscal year 1898; and in
observing the results of this comparison
it should be remembered that during
the year 1898 labor and materials were
cheaper and municipal activity at
lower ebb than during the year 1S91.92.

A GLOBE representative called on
Hon. lgnatius Donnelly yesterday and
introduced his visit substantially as fol-
lows:
II call on you, senator, because you
are known to be a man who. carefully
all subjects. and certainly
cannot be SAID to be railroad man or
under railroad influences. The public
is interested in what you would say.
more. than in anything that might be
said by any other man in this part Of
the country. because you are known,
not as the friend of any one class, but
as friend of all classes of labor.
II am obliged to you for your kind
words. The cause of labor knows no
subdivisions. Its interests vary In the
long run the same everywhere. The
farmer helps the workman; and the
workman the farmer. They are inter-
dependents"
''Your prophetic eye seems to have
fOreseen just what has resulted regard
ing the present condition of affairs"
II cannot say that, but certainly
events are justifying the views l have
been urging upon the people for twenty
five years."
"Have you heard the rumor that the
A. r. u. was directly or indirectly un-
der the absolute control of the A.
P. A.?"
Yes: 1t meets one every where. But
personally l am not in cond ition to
know the truth or justice OF such a
statement"
''At the time you were preparing your
address on the subject of the A. P. A.,
did you know anything of the move
ments of the A. P. A. in the Westr'
al knew enough to foresee that very
dangerous ele ment was entering into
our poltics-one that moved in secret
and could not be controlled by ordinary
influences; one capable of doing great
HARM"
''Do you believe it is possible for some
of the A. r. y. leaders to be acting in
good faith and still be hoodwinked by
the A. P. A.. and used BY the latter to
pull chestnuts out of the fire?"
."That is very possible. Whether 1t is
SO or not, have no means Of knowing.
My sympathies are all on the side of the
railroad employees. At the same time,
can understand that the Great Northern
is competing with two bankrupt rivals,
who pay no interest on their bonds. and
that they are compelled to great
economy. Both the railroad company
and the men are the victims of the de-
monetization Of silver; the consequent
contraction of the worlds metallic
money. and the breaking down Of ali
values. The ultimate remedy is the re-
monetization of silver and an issue of
greenbacks that Would lift the whole
country out of the slough of poverty.
