ECONOMY AND REFORM.
How Large Sums Are Saved by Democratic
Cheeseparing.

How Large Sums Are Saved by Democratic
Cheeseparing.
The Democratic party, since coming
into power March 4, 1898, is making
an unenviable record in economy. The
people will long remember how the va
rious measures have been pushed to final
consummation, having but the one pur-
pose of economy and reform. One great
difficulty is that the people are not kept
informed Of these things. For instance,
one Of the first strategic measures of the
long promised saving Of the peoples
money was the cutting off Of the distri,
button Of seeds in the agricultural de.
partment. 1t is reasonably estimated
that seed to the amount perhaps of 9
cents per family through the entire coun.
try has been furnished in previous years.
This enormous saving ought to be
published far and wide. Afterward in
our postal service like measure was
Incorporated into the postofice appropri-
alton bill, whereby the postage on news
papers was raised from / to s cents per
pound. Instead of a saving this gives
the government clear profit Of cents
per pound on all newspapers carried i'll
the mail. Now, it is reasonable to sup
pose that each family will average about
Is pounds of newspapers per annum, or
clear profit of 81 per family on news
papers. Now, another great national
stroke of economy was the striking off
Of $500 from Doorkeeper Bassett's sal
airy. If we take these three great meas
ures alone, they are sufficient within
themselves to go before the country and
establish the fact that the Democratic
party is truly party Of economy and
reform.
