EVERY BODY who knows anything
about finance, knows that the present
depleted condition of the treasury is by
reason OF the fact that the revenues
Of the government have fallen off It.
is further well known that those
revenues have always been ample
under Republican Administration !,
except in time of war. The reason
why the revenue, accruing from i'm :
ports has fallen of, is clearly the resn1t
of Democratic policy That party
promised the foreign manufacturer a
better bargain. He is waiting for the
fulflment OF that promise In the pas
sage of the Wilson bill. Hence he is
piling up his goods and waiting for.
that happy day, and when it arrives
the American manufactures will stand

TIE United States Senate has at

preme Court. He was rejected by a
vote Of so to "a. The Administration
and Its New York friends made
strenuous effort tosecure his confirma-
tion. The opposition, being led by
Mr.. Hill shows where he stands con-
cerning the Administration, and open
war may now be looked for. In fact
this contest has developed the fact
that the Administration has strong
opposition among its own household

most strongly urged by Democrats
against the Presidents nomination
being, that his Hawaiian policy with
all its bungling, was conclusive proof
that his judgement could not be re-

DFMocRAT4c HARD TIMEs,


In times such as the present, when
the business interests Of the nation
are in such depressed and deplorable
condition, the average voter naturally
becomes a student of practical politi-
cal economy. It may be that he has
been associated with one party and
that his allegiance to 1t may not be
blind, yet to a greater or less extent it.
has been devoted and steadfast, and
only conditions which severely affect
him and which can be traced to the
policy of the party in power, will in
any wise shake his faith In 1t. Prob
ably never before have SO many Of
our Workingmen become real students
of the administration Of the affairs
by political party as at present.
Well they may, for We have been, for
the past 10 months, and still are pase-
ing through such a condition OF affairs
as was never experienced in the his
tori. of the nation. Men whose bread
and butter are purchased by the
sweat Of their brow, now that in the.
dead Of winter they are unable to
secure work are fro the very necessity
of<the case serious students OF affairs.
Why such disastrous results should
attend the accession or the Demo
cratic party into power is the question
that naturally arises, never In all the
history Of the Republican party. nor
during all it's 80 years Of power did!
such disturbances In the financial and
industrial world occur. The argu-l
ment that all this is the result OF Re-
publican rule Is absurd from the above
facts which being true it would be
very strange that these troubles
should come at the end OF 80 years
Of supremacy rather than long before.

why did not the evil effects come

The minority report prepared by the

bill for the repeal of the Federal cleo
tion laws which was passed by the
House at the extra session and is now
before the Senate, is document that
fairly bristles with common sense rea-
sons why these laws should not be re-
pealed. Common sense plays a very
small part in Democratic legislation,
bnt there is dim and shadowy hope
that this bill may be defeated III the

The opposition to the income tax
proposition has unquastionably fright
ened the Democrats who favor it. One
result Of the fright was the determines
tion OF the Democrats of the Ways
and Means committee not to offer the
income tax as an amendment I'd the

the House as separate measure.
Another is the proposition, not yet
definitely acted upon, to hold a Demo-

come tax shall be pushed or abandoned.
The final result will be the same either
way. The income tax may be forced
through the House by a very small
margin, but its death in the Senate is

But the enemy approached it. all As hungry as
could be,
And the captain, with his aid-de-camp, just
skirmished round to see
Whether they could ford this river or should
try some other plan,
And together with his comrades he around the
liquid ran.
To his Joy and satisfaction, after travelling
around,
The place where the molasses was the narrow
est he found;
and then back,
Till he spied some loosened plaster in the wall
around tack.
He divided then his forces. with foreman for
each squad,
And he marshaled the whole army and before
him each ant trod.
His directions all were given; to his chiefs he
gave call,
While he headed the procession as they
marched off up the wall.
Every ant then seized his plaster, just speck
and nothing more,
And he climbed and tugged and carried till
he'd brought 1t to the shore;
Then they built their bridge, just working for
an hour by the sky,
After which they all marched over and all fell
to eating pie.

wood looks very much like a fine variety of

tiful, bright cherry red Its name is deriv
ed from its hardness and is well deserved.
1t uses up an ak to fell each tree, and as the
quality of different trees is always the same
and that Of different axes is not, even this
ratio of one AK to one tree has to be changed
occasionally and always in favor of the tree
1t is said that tramp who had wandered
into that part of the country, with the usual
appetite of his class, applied for something
to eat In reply lie VOC told that If no
would get out certain number of rails for
fence the proprietor would give him a
weeks board.
1t was, as he thought, about a days work
that had been assigned him, and bright and
early the next morning he sailed out with
his ak on his shoulder Unfortunately the
most tempting tree he met was an iron
wood, and very late in the evening he re-
turned with the ak helve on his arm.
"How many rails did you split today"
asked his employer
II didn't split any, but l hewed out one"
was the reply, and then the tramp resigned
his position. Companion.
