DEMOCRATIC APPROPRIATIONS.


The Record Broken By the Second seasinn
Of the Fifty-Third Congress-
The session Just closed Is record
breaker In the matter OF appropria-
tons, which are $500, 900, 900, more by
$4,000, 600 than was appropriated by
the Fffty-frst congress in It's first ses-
sion, which has been advertised 10 all
the world us. the "billion-dollar con
gress," or the Reed congress" Not
withstanding the democrats took from
the deserving soldiers Of this country
s29, O0o, 600 in order 10 make this show
ing, they now stand charged with
making the most exorbitant appro-
priations for sectional purposes ever
known in the history of the govern
ment The river and harbor bill is in
creased more than si1, ooo, 900, TO be
expended largely in the south. The
diplomatic and consular bill, for the
support of exeonfederutes abroad, Is
increased more than $1,000 The forth
fcation bill, in order TO find fat places
for democratic employees in coast de-
Tense construction, is increased So16,-
600. The Indian bill. by which more
democratic employees are fed and
clothed and housed, in violation of
civil service rules and civil service
methods than under all other bills
combined, is increased 81, 4T5, 600.
Anyone who goes TO the agencies In
the northwest will find the agent with
all his family nicely housed and shell
tered under civil service, his bonds
men and the friends thereof carried
and taken care Of, while all the old
familiar and tried employees of the In
dian school and Indian reform service
have been sent adrift. The post Office
bill is increased IS, 2S2, 900, most of
which comes from northern people, as
the south has failed TO pay its proper
tionate share Of the expense of run
ming the postal department since the
establishment Of the government, to
the amount of from $4,000, 900 TO S.
DOC, 1000 per annum. The naval bill is
increased s5.223, 200, because the navy
yards have been used as places of ref
uge for democratic strikers, who 9TH
erwise must have had to march with
Coxey's army"
OF the reductions 1t is needless to say
much. They are found to be Of such a
character as to take away employment
from worthy people who during these
stringent times are unable to find en-
ployment elsewhere. Two thousand
have been turned loose in the city of
Washington by reason of democratic
economy" and intriguing. By the
time the campaign is closed. and the
people have assembled at the polls, the
investigation of appropriations in the
closed session Of congress will have
been so thoroughly made, and the
democratic claims SO punctured and
understood that it will be hard for
their orators to endorse them before
the people.

ouSoFa VI inc DemOcrAtH IN the Recent

President Cleveland in his national
apology for winking at the great
fraud which was eliminated on the
evening of August %, the record of
which shall stand as the dark spot in
the tariff history Of the United States,
while feeling the sting of the infamy
OF which he had become q copartner,
utters the following sentences;
II DO not claim TO be better than the masses
OF my party. nor do wish 70 avoid any re-
sponsibility which, on account Of the passage
Of this law. 4 ought 70 bear as q member OF tho
democratic organization. Neither viii / uer-
init myself 70 be separated from my party "a
such an extent as might be implied by my
veto OF tarin legislation. which. though ais
appointing, Is still chargeable 70 Democratic
EFFORT"
This confession of Grover Cleveland
is one of the most marked among the
sayings of men who have been ex.
allied into high places by the suffrage
OF the people. It is to be construed as
meaning that because Grover Cleye-
land has not the moral courage TO
sign an infamous, disappointing tariff
bill, full of inaccuracies and crudities,
he therefore declares that he is no
better than the masses of his party,
or, in other words, he declares that the
democratic party has no man In Il
who is capable Of rising above the In.
famous trickery Of the trusts and com.
bines who barter with democratic sen.
ators in tariff revision.
oh, Shades of the Hermitagel Could
a voice from the unseen realms be
heard this day, it would bring to mind
that there was once q time when the
democratic party had in it one man
who dared to speak for the right in
the face of confessed wrong.
