Congressman Burrows: ''If the Demo
cratic party was now called upon to render
An account of its stewardship for the past
twelve months, apprehend that the lease
would not only be not renewed, but would
be promptly Cancelled. In the brief space
OF one year the party has destroyed the last
safeguard of honest federal elections, ex-
hausted the surplus in the treasury and
created a deficiency of $75, 900, 600, trenched
on the gold reserve and borrowed $50, 0OO,-
OCO by issuing interest bearing bonds to
supply the deficiency; threatened to pay a
portion of the national obligations in silver,
which shook the public credit and increased
the panic; pursued policy toward the sur
vivors of the union army and navy as un-
justifable as unpatriotic; shut down and
destroyed domestic industries by its threat
ened tariff policy of free trade; has driven
millions of our laboring people out of en-
'pIoyment and from homes into souphouses;
psralyzed our domestic and foreign trade,
and brought the country and its people to
the verge of bankruptcy and Inundated the
nation by foreign policy as disreputable as
1t is un-American. BY their fruits We
shall know them.'"

That great high priest of democracy,
Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal, is decidedly out with the
present administration. Read what he says:
mo party ever came into power with so
great an opportunity, and no one ever put
great opportunity to such base uses or cut
so poor a figure. All is chaos and for the
time being all seems lost" Mr.. Watterson
has evidently read the spring election re-
turns.

Before the Mckinley tariff went into effect
we used to import more than $1,000, 900
worth of barley every year, but in 1898 we
paid only 1926, 900 for foreign barley. The
Wilson tariff will reduce the duty from 65 to
20 per cent ad valorem, so that the Ameri-
can farmers who grow barley, may look for
larger competition again from Canada, and
consequently for lower prices. But this
will be to the advantage of the British
brewing monopoly.

The citizens of Troy, N. Y, are terribly
wrought up over the brutal murder of Rob-
ert Ross on election day by gang Of DEM
ocratic repeaters. Two huge mass meetings
were held on Thursday last to denounce
the outrage. The speakers, men of all
political parties, demanded thorough in
vestigation and speedy punishment for the
murderers. The speakers and resolutions
boldly charged Edward Murphy, Jr., U. s.
Senator, as being the man directly respon-
sible.

Col. r. G. Ingersoll says: 81 think these
elections show that people are changing
their minds; that they are not as generally
fond of tariff reform as in 1892. AS the
factories close, their eyes open. They see
now that 1t does not add to the prosperity of
the country to deprive skilled labor of work
1 believe that the state OF New York, if the
question could be submitted would give
$50, 900 majority against the Wilson bill.
Every state in the north, east and west
would vote in the same way"

s. w. Walton, of Inlay City, life long
democrat, has renounced his allegiance to
the democrat party and will hereafter sup
port the republican party. He says:
"There are many reasons why democrats
are leaving their party and if they had done
30 years before, they would without doubt,
be in better circumstances today. This is
particularly true of the farming class, who
keeniy feel the effects of the democratic
rule. Keep your eye, boys, on the political
tide. It's coming with a mighty roar and
republican victory will be crowned as never
