M'KINLEYS BRASS.
The Ohio Napoleon Charges Democrats
with Republican Methods.


with Republican Methods.
Gov Mckinley, in his address at Ban
gor, recited the old story of the depres-
sion OF business, which occurred while
his tariff law was in force and began
to give way as soon as it was repealed.
He attributed the depression to the
democrats, because they were in
power, but not to his bill, because it
was in force. Well, the democrats are
still in power, but the Mckinley bill IS
no longer in force, and times are i'm
proving.
But Gov. Mckinley says the new
tariff bill was traded through" and
that this ought to condemn it. Indeedl
Well. let us apply this little further.
How did the Mckinley bill get
through? Was there no trading about
that?
The trading began before the Fifty
first congress was elected. In the dark
days of the campaign of 1888, the
trusts and combinations interested in
protection, the rich manufacturing
corporate tions that had been the chief
| beneficiaries of protection according
to the admission of high republican
authority, were advised that the day
of fat-frying had arrived. They heard
the agonizing appeal: Help cash us,
or we sink" They put up the money
to buy presidency and house of
representatives, with the understand
ing that the taxing power of the gov
ernment was to be turned over to them
to do with as they pleased.
More trades, however, were needed.
The gentlemen up in Vermont, who
make maple sugar out of some sort OF
combination of vegetable juices and
chemicals, concluded that they would
like to be paid by the government for
conducting their business. They had
an advocate in the senate, and they
got what they wanted, though Mr..
Blaine would not believe it when he
first heard of it. The bill was in this
way traded through.
This instance, however, and many
similar ones that might be named was
a trihe compared to the trade made
over the sherman law. The silver
mine senators held the balance of pow
er on the republican side. They noti-
fed their fellow-republicans in the
senate that the Sherman law, provid-
ing for the purchase of an amount of
silver substantially equal to the Amer
lean product, was the very least that
they would accept as their share of the
| booty. These men were not in the
senate for their health, or with any
view of promoting the public good.
| They were there for promoting their
own interests, and they let it be
known that the Mckinley bill could
not pass unless silver was taken care
of, and they had their will. The Sherman
bill, in connection with other repub-
lican legislation. brought on the panic
All the republicans, except the free
silver men, said SO in the spring and
early summer of 1898, when they were
anxious for the repeal of the silver
purchase clause. In other words Gov.
Mckinley traded his bill through, and
brought on the panic. That is toe
plain for argument, and yet he has the
hardihood to attribute the panic tc
the democrats, and to say that the new
tariff law is to be condemned because
it was traded through" Atau events
it was not put through by trade which
brought on a panic.-Louisville- Cou

Desha Breckinridge came in and bought

Breckenridge, with an. angry look on
his face, replied, No. you one-horse
scoundrel, l will not take your hand.
You profess to be mans friend and

Livingston replied to this by saying
that he had done nothing of that kind,

bone. Livingston grasped his right
hand with his left in order to stop the
terrible flow of blood that was dyeing

clerks and several bystanders rushed
in and seized Breckenridge. and at the
same instant Matt Lane, a strong
Breckenridge man, ran up and said he
