Sam's Purse.
 Ore hears great deal nowadays ebodt the return of good times under the present democratic administration and its mongrel tariff law. There are, to be sure, number of mills and fac tories that have restored the old wage scale, but they are in the minority at that. No one wonders why this is thus
 There has been a constant consump- ton of goods during the two years period of suspension, until now the supply has been exhausted, more or less, and these mills and factories have been able to resume operations and pay the old wages at least for a time. In addition to this cause for a return to the old wages is that the republican victories of the past eighteen months have brought confidence to the manu- facturer and he now hopes to experi- ence return of complete prosperity, when another presidential election rolls around and the republican party is fully restored to power again.
 It seems strange that with all of this marked return to good times" that is being experienced in the minds of our democratic brethren, that no and that capital is not being brought into use by the building of new plants, whereby labor mightabe employed at a good wage price. In this particular more than in any other lies the true result of good times, and not until cap ital is so employed will we again ex- perience the prosperity and blessings that were given us under the adminis- tration of Benjamin Harrison.
 The most striking result of demo- cratic tariff bungling and party incom- potency, however, is revealed by the figures setting forth the condition of the national finances at the close of the fiscal year. Last year the deficit was S7O, 100000 and this year it reaches nearly Sl5,OOO,o0O. Next year there will certainly be another deficiency unless the republican house of repre-. sentatives is careful to cut down every appropriation, even though this expe- diency cannot result in any great ben eft to the government service. Besides all this there have been bonds issued to the extent of Sl62, ,400 900 since Mr. Cleveland took bis seat as president, not to speak of the big robbery of the peoples money by the foreign bond syndicate which was allowed by the administration when the last issue of bonds was made.
 This record when contrasted with that of the republican administration needs no comment to show people what buncoing has been going on at Wash ington during the past twenty-eight months. The public debt was reduced during the republican administration to the extent of about S60, 900, 900 each year, with no issue of bonds to keep up the treasury reserve and no annual deficit to be provided for. The two years and four months of democratic rule will show a difference in the con dition of the finances of the country, when contraSted with the same period of Harrison's administration, of ovey $500, 900, 900 in favor of the republicans. not to speak of the countless losses of business throughout the land on ac. count of the panic.
 wonder the people want a change Uncle Sam's purse strings have been cut off and the money bag is getting empty mighty ast.-Albany Journal
