Administrations Compared.
"The whole administration of HarrI-
son, with the exception of the first
year (Which received its impetus from
tie excellent financial conditions ex-
isting at the close of the Z eveland
term), was one of falling revenues, In
creasing expenditures and tho heavy
expectation OF gold. The receipts dur
ing the Cleveland administration were
S62, 600 900 less than during tue HaIri-
son administration, while the total ex-
pendltures were over 1921, 900, 900 less.
twenty-five million dollars in gold
were imported into this country In ex-
cess of the amount exported during
Cleveland's term, while Harrison re-
tired from office with a net gold bal
ance against us of nearly $15S. 900, 900.
These figures are startling. The net
exports OF gold during the last three
months of Harrlson's administration
amounted to $36. 900. 600. while tho net
exports of gold during the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1894, amounted to but
$4, $50, 900.
"During the republican administra-
ton expenditures Increased at the rate
OF $50, 600. 600 year, while the revenues
decreased more than $4,000, 900 an.
nually. Cleveland retired, leaving q
surplus of $3.50, 1888, 600 in the treasury.
Four years of republican misrule re-
duced the surplus to S62, 900, 600 with
charges fixed sor the ensuing yeaI
amounting In round numbers, to $685..
000, 900 In excess of the revenues. The
condition Of the treasury occasioned

fears were Intensified by the fact that
the government, already carrying an
immense volume of currency. intrln-

not stand the additional unusual pur-
chase Of $50, 600. 0G0 provided for by the
Sherman net and maintain silver al

sitInn TO Their King Is Monstrous-
BERLIN, Sept. emperor William
made a sensational speech last evening
at a state banquet at which the king of
Wurtemburg was principal guest
After q few words of thanks for his re-
ception. Emperor William said:
-Four years ago | emphasized the
fact that il eastern Prussia, where the
pc ,ple are chiefly farmers, you must,
before all, preserve and maintain a
capable peasantry, and that as such
they would be pillar ofsupport 10 any
monarchy. Hence my constant en-
deavor, whenever opportunity arises,
to foster the welfare OF East Prussia.
The past four years of grevious cares
have weighed upon the farmer, and it
appears to me that under this In fluenc e
doubt has arisen in regard to my
promises and as to whether | should
be able to keep them. Nay, | found
myself com PEELED to observe, with n
sore heart, that in circles of the nobll-
ity, standing near the throne, my best
intentions were misunderstood and to
certain extent combatted. Nay,
more, word of opposition
uaS DeeH drought 10 my ears. 0eHtlt-
men, opposition by Prussian noblemen
to their king is monstrosity. They
are justified in forming an opposition
only when they know the king to be at
their head, How often have my an
cestors had TO set themselves against
misguided menu ers of that class for
the welfare of the whole community
| shall continue my constant endeav.
ors, aud the very next budget shall
afford proof of my jealousy. Before us
stands the statute of William /, the
imperial sword uplifted in his right
hand-the symbol Of law aud order.
Now, gentlemen, it is to you l this
day address myself. Forward to fight
for religion, for morality. and for order
against the parties of revolution. On
ward with God, and dishonor to him
who forsakes his king.

will be The first province in line in this
