QUESTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS.

Did you democratic politicians predict the direful disasters that have befallen the country within the past two years, and have been the allies of your party ever since they were ushered in?
 Did you tell the people that under den- ocratic domination every workingman in the United States should be taxed S55 In lost wages for six months of dem- ocrstic experience? It was clover and Grover.
 You promised "Clover and Gro- ver," but did you tell the voters that nine billions of dollars would be sunk for the losses of one year alone, thus costing the public s136 head for man, woman and child during the first year of Grover?
 You said, "We want free raw material;' brt did you say the country would spend three billions of dollars less for manu- featuring materials than during he same period under Mckinley? Not much. It was clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the people that in one short year our factory products would fall off five billions of dollars-all for free trade? Oh, no; it was all clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the people that between March 1, 1892 and June 30, 1894 corpora tion stock, held by citizens of our coun- try, would depreciate nine hundred and fifty millions of dollars? Of course not. 1t was all clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the laboring man and his employer that under your ruinous rule according to the most conservative and reliable estimates, the financial world would suffer a loss of thirteen billion, six hundred million dollars, and all in single year? Never heard of it. It was all clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the people that the busi- ness of the country would decrease A per cent. as it has done? Not by full demijohn. It was all clover and Grover.
 Did you, great tariff reformers, tell the people that yon would reduce taxes nineteen millions of dollars only to add forty-three millions on sugar alone? Had no time. eh! It was all clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the people when you de- ceived them with false promises that sos national banks would close their doors during the year 1893? Not bit of it. It WAS all clover and Grover.
 Did you tell the people that the first year of your rule or ruin policy would close one-half of our mills ard furnaces, and send over two million of men into and force one-sixth of our railroad mileage into receivers hands? Never heard of it. It was all clover and Grover.
 Die you tell the people that the dem- ooracy would back up the declaration of Speaker Crisp that the wages of the laboring men, the toiling masses, were too high by 9 per cent. and should be reduced? Nary a word. It was all clover and Grover.
 Did any of you tell the people that under the first two years of democratic administration the live stock in the United States would depreciate in value three hundred and twenty-five million dollars, as it has done? We'll, hardly. It was all clover and Grover.
 We would like honest democrats to face these facts and study them. As this race of politicians has cost the country about five or SIX hundred dol lars apiece, it is high time for reform and education.
 Democrats seldom answer these in- quiries, but the voters cen speak for at tte polls.
 One thing said by democrat, how ever, is true. He said, speaking of the political outlook of his party, THE TIMES ARE AGAINST US."
 Let any man who reads vote and the Lord help us all till the time comes for a change in the national administration when we will do some tall rustling ID the way of helping ourselves.
