PURELY a REPupLIoAN pnr1o1Esov

PURELY n REPUBLICAN DEFICIENCY.
The New York Trbunc and the Re-
publican organs which follow its lead
charge the treasury deficit to Demo
cratic incompetence"
Lot US see about this and examine the
situation in the light OF the facts.
When the Democrats gave the gov
eminent over to the Republicans in
March 1889 the cash balance in the
treasury was over s1s5, 900, 600, 500,
100000 OF which Was In free gold, while
the surplus OF revenues over expendi-
lures was Slo5, 900, 600.
Then, Presto! change! Four years
of Republican rule followed. Surplus
cash and big slice of tho gold reserve
vanished.
When the Democrats stepped in again
last March the cupboard was bare.
Secretary FOSTER tried to patch
things up by borrowing from the Wall
Street money kings. The device kept
the treasury afoat during the few re-
naming months OF the term of President
AA-NA'Asi''-'s " ho " - bOO III utn OF q poll
tician TO sanction an increase OF the
public debt during his administration
If the difficulty could be tided over in
any other way.
Sun Republican organs call this
worse than Republican incompetence,
democratic Incompetence" because q
Democratic administration is now in
power, and has on hand the task of
righting the wrong done by its Repub-
lican predecessor.
During Mr.. CLEvELAND's first term
the gain in gold imports was S5l, re-
600. During Mr.. HARRIsoN's term tho
toss was Sl22. $4,000
The Republicans cut Oft SEQ, OOO, 600
OF revenue besides raising the tariff
taxes, added 500, OOO 600 to the pension
list, added SO, 900, 600 TO the annual ap-
populations, looted the Treasury and
threw away revenue purposeIY TO pre-
vent reduction OF the tariff as de-
manded by the people
Every cent of the Treasury deficiency
is directly due to Republican legislation
and extravagance, and the new bond
issue will be nothing more than a Re-
publican Deficiency Debt
