of the Harrison Administration available
cash to the amount of $124, 1885, ,O87. The
national debt, which was $2,S45, ,0O7, ,626
at the end of the war, had been reduced
to S5S5, ,029,3 $50 when Grover Cleveland
took the oath of office the second time
The Mckinley law, which Democratic Or
ganS have been loudly abusing on the
ground that it was inadequate for rev.
enue purposes, produced SIT, 1852, ,964 in
1892 and S203, ,355, ,0l6 for the fiscal year
1S93-an increase which shows that if it
had been permitted to continue in un-
hindered operation, it would have at
forded all the customs revenue which
the government required.
The Harrison Administration was as
successful in handling the finances OF the
nation as it was in maintaining Ameri-
can honor abroad and promoting pros
perity at home. But as soon as the Dem
ocratic party came into full power in all
the departments of the government, the
process of wTecking the Treasury and
paralyzing the industries Of the people
began. The new tariff has shown that
under existing conditions it is utterly in
adequate to produce a sufficient income
for the government, and the national
debt is now nearly 500, 100000. In other
words, the Cleveland Administration
besides crushing down American indus
tries and carrying destitution from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, is running the
country into debt at the rate of almost
half million dollars for each working
day. 1t is no wonder that Democratic
journals resort to frantic mendacity in
the effort to conceal this appalling rec

of this government for the fiscal year
closing June 30th, 1894, as stated in the
Presidents message, was S442, ,6O5, 1887,
two-thirds as much as the tobacco bill or
about one-third the liquor bill. Itseems
as though these facts should speak loud
to the thoughtful person.
We often hear men complain about
taxes, but how few complain of their
liquor tax, which is by far the heaviest
tax resting on this country. Men talk
about trusts, and corporations and mo-
nopoly as robbing the people of hard
earnings, but all of them sink into insig-'
nifcance by the side of this traffic. The
saloon is the mammoth curse of the land;
the public blood sucker of gigantic por-
tiOns, and yet there are well meaning
people who would make believe that the
proper thing to do was to put a govern
ment license around the neck of this de-
mon and turn him into the streets to bite
and devour at will all within his reach.
Shall the government enter into partner
ship with this monster evil and fill its
treasurer with the price of blootl? never,
no never.
Let public conscience be aroused to
treat this Gu as you would mad dog,
cut his head On, plow it up root and
branch, ,-exterminate is the word.
Abraham Lincoln we'll said: "The
liquor traffic is cancer in society, eat
ing out its vitals and threatening de-
struction, and all attempts to regulate it
will not only prove abortive, but will ag.
gravate the evil. No, there must be no
more attempts to regulate the cancer; it
must be eradicated. Not root must be
left behind, for until this is done al
classes must continue in danger of be-
coming victims of strong drink"
Blot out the liquor traffic. and our
prisons will be largely emptied, prison
courts of little service. Change the one
billion two hundred million dollars paid
for liquor into other channels and what
power for good, what a blessing to
thousands of homes; how the storm
clouds would pass and the sunshine of
cemfort and plenty will grace many fire
sides. But just as long as this nefariOus
business is allowed to continue at its
present proportion there will be want
and misery; money will go the saloon
keeper, and hard times the consequence.
Let the people awake to the facts in the
case and destroy this cause for hard
times in many homes; disgrace and ruin
to thousands of liYes annually.

The Republican Congressional com
mitttee has sent out significant letter
in regard to contested seats in the next
Congress. There are upward of thirty
districts wherein defeated Republicans
have indicated their intention of filing
contests. The committee has addressed
to each of these contestants statement
informing him that he must not place
any reliance on the large Republican ma
jority in the next Coagress, but must
rest his prospects for success on the mer-
its of the claims he advances. Probable
contestants were advised not to file their
PaPers unless they were able to reinforce
them with testimony of the most unim-
peachable character. This is what was
to have been expected.

Nothing could be more diverse than
the action of Grover, and ex-President
Harrison. Mr. cleveland seems afraid.
Gen. Harrison use to go back and forth
to the Adirondacks and other places,
without guard, but President Cleveland
has little garrison at the White House
and 'small army attendant when he
goes out. This is shown in Washington
dispatches: "a fragrant piece of van
dalism was perpetrated in the beautiful
lawn in front of the Presidents house
to-day. An unsightly little watch box
has been placed Immediately in front of
the main entrance to the historic build
ing. In time of war and during other ex-
citing periods at the national capital
there was never any occasion for placing
sentry box at the front door of the
Presidential residence. The watch box
is so located that an armed sentry may
cover with his firearm any one who en-
ters the front door of the mansion. Fort
Cleveland is small wooden structure
about four by six feet, painted drab. 1t
is located directly in front of the White
House door, and the occupant of the
fort can command view of the mansion
and the various approaches thereto"
