In speaking about the Democracy be-
ing IN expensive luxury, the New York
Recorder makes the following exhibit:
This administration is making a mark
thar viii give it a peerless place in our
history. 1t is breaking even the Buchan-
an administrations record for business
disaster, financial trouble and general ma
tiOnal distress.
AT the end of the first year Of Mr..
Cleveland's second term there had been
an increase of the national debt of $780,
OO0.O For every one of the twenty
four years of Republican control. from
1869 to 1893 inclusive, there had been an
average decrease Of the national debt OF
$50, ,UO.
Whence it appears that the net differ
ence between a year of Republican rule
and a year of Democratic rule at Wash
ingtOn. so far as the national ledger is
concerned, is S169. 000, 0O0. 1t costs the
nation that much in extra taxation TO in
dulge in the luxurious lunacy Of a Demo
cratic administration.
IF Mr.. Cleveland and his party go on
to the end of the f~our-years rope as they
have gone thus far the American people
will have their load of national debt heav-
Ter by just about S616,OOO,OOO March 4,
1897, than it would have been if they had
no voted for "a change" in 1892. And
on top of that are the losses inflicted on
private business. These have been esti-
mated by Bradstreet's and Dun's agencies
as amounting to the enormous total of
$40. 600, 0O0,0 900 for the first year Of Mr..
Cleveland's term alone-that is to say,
for the year ending March 4 last.
And there are two years and a half
more of the kind of currency reform
and tariff reform that has worked this
way yet to be endured"

list virtually transfers the plant from this

pounds of the Irvine is made in the Unit
ed States each year, and between $1,000
600 and S10,O0O,OOO is invested in the
machinery that turns it out. In Eng
land, ireland and Germany the wages are
go per cent. lower than in the United
States. OF course those countries are not
prepared as yet to turn out large quanti-
ties of Irvine, but they will be soon" 1t

A Texas sheep Man Talks About the
Tariff.

U
The San Antonio, Tex, Express prints
the following from one of the large sheep
growers of Texas, which not only express
es the condition of things in that state,
but in every state which engages In sheep
~husbandry:
Talk about the great strike, it is as
nothing compared TO the destruction of
values in Western Texas by tariff agita-
ton, as far as San Antonio is concerned.
A few years ago sheep in Western Texas
were worth from So to $3.50 or 50 a head,
and the land grazed upon was rated at
from So to 50 an acre. Now h are
sheep worth? Next to nothing. There Is
no sale for sheep, ecept under foreclosure
for debt, and unless creditors can be pre-
vailed upon to extend their leniency most
of what remains in the country will
change hands in that way before long, If
anyone can be found to take them at any
price. Many have been sold in this way,
and | will cite a few instances TO show
how values have shrunk since the profits
of VOL growing were knocked of. Re
Gently q flock of sheep of about lO,OOO
head, which two years ago were rated at
81 TO $3.50 per head. being exceptionally
well bred and cared for, were sold at o.
cents per head. Another flock of 100
head, a few years ago worth $500 PEI
head. with selected ones at 50, were sold
at 81 cents. Another flock of 21O0 We're
sold a few days ago at 80 cents. And the

The Queer Case of q Farmer Founding
a Suit ON Democratic False
Pretenses.

Two years ago William Stanley, a
farmer living in Indiana, heard MIR. By
num-, who was stumping his district for
a reelection TO Congress, make a speech
in which he made the bold statement that
if he and Mr.. Cleveland were elected the
farmers would certainly get 81 for their
wheat, which was then worth only from
SO to 80 cents a bushel. MIR. Stanley
wanted 81, of course, and in a moment
when good sense was dethroned he tqos
stock in what the Democratic member
of Congress said about the price of wheat,
and when election came he voted for BY
nun and Cleveland. The first year after
voting for Cleveland Mr.. Stanley got 6o
cents for his wheat; and this year Al Is
the highest he has been offered. The
nresent condition of Mr.. Stanley's feel
iugs are thus stated by the Chicago IT'D

past. There is a kind of remedy, how
ever, at the polls. The men who were
cheated out of their votes in 1892 were
not defrauded of them for all time. but
for that election only. Their votes are
their own. They can cast them this fall
against the men who deluded them two
years ago. They can drive those per-
In Congress by others who will endeavor
to undo the mischief that has been done.
But there is such a thing as jumping
out OF the frying-pan into the fire. Some
OF the men who were tricked by the Dem
ocrats in 5 8 say they are going to vote
Tor Populist candidates because that par
~ tells them that what they and the
country need is more money, that It VIII
see that there is more money, and then
the tarmer will get higher prices for his
wheat and the ~workingman for his labor.
But before voting for Populists the farm
ers and the workingmen should ask what
l IN OF money it is they propose to give
them. For If it be worth only half what
the present money is. then. while farmers
ana others will get twice as many dollars
for their products, they will get in reality
no more than low.
The money the Populists want TO issue
by the billion would be worth next TO
nothing. The workingman's wages when
paid in it might rise to a hundred or more
dollars a day, but he would be no better
off than now. The only safe place for the
man who vas the victim of Democratic
false pretenses in 1892 is in the Republic

what would happen if the Democrats

Harsh treatment though it stop short
of inficting physical pain, keeps nerv-
Gus horse in state of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper once

A single blow may be enough to spoil
racer Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as a 3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was very handsome, stylish, intel
ligent horse, and also extremely sensi-
tive.
His driver Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
Judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a
severe cut with the whip and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
trotter. He became wild and ungovern-
able in harness and remained so for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than with
most animals one ought to exercise pa
tience, care and above all the power Of
sympathy, so as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
do this or that To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is large part of the ethics of horse.

1t contains no special clockwork and no

ordinary clock can be adapted for the
purpose. Each man is provided with
checks, one of which he drops into the
slot of the apparatus on entering the
building. The checks are subsequently
removed, and after their numbers have
been registered placed on board ready
