for no definite principle. We seemed
to be doing business rnder what was
sort of political false pretense. Our So
called leaders apparently did not ex-
pect to keep single promise that was
made to the public, and they under
estimated the intelligence OF the Amerl-
can people by imagining that loud pro-
testations in campaign wonld always
win. and that the talk about keeping
faith with the public was simply silly
sentiment. In drawing declaration OF
principles we aimed to straddle every
conceivable question, and we con-
structed a platform to mean one thihg
in one neighborhood and the opposite
thing in another neighborhood. The
whole business OF the government
seemed to rest upon the plane OF politi-
cal trickery, and the republican party
in this respect, was just as bad as we
were, but we were not in position TO
arouse any enthusiasm for our side, ana
when the other causes that l have
named began to operate against us, we
could not arrest them.
"In consequence OF all these causes
that party which represents trusts and
special privilege grabbers in this count
ry has succeeded, and that party which
should have represented the great pro-
ducing classes OF the country, but was
false to its principles, was entirely over
thrown"
"What in the end will be the effect OF
this election?"
"While the first effect OF it will be to
give a new impetus to the trusts, and to
increase the corruption which they have
introduced into this country, in the long
run it will be highly beneficial to the
democratic party, and ultimately to the
country"
"How do you make that out?'
at is going to permanently retire a
number OF conspicuous men who have
posed as leaders OF the democracy, but
have for many years kept it from es-
pousing any cause, or standing for any
principle, and used it only as conven'
ience, and the result will be that in
time new men will come to the front
who will endeavor to place the party on
higher ground, and to make it again
stand for those great principles:of demo-
: cracy to which our country owes its mar
velous career and its exalted position
among nations"

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL,

Senator Morgan'S bill for the Mica
raugua canal proposes that the
United States take $40, 900, 900 OF
the capital of$100,0O0, 000inconsid-
Grafton gifts guarantee OF the bonds
OF the company. The government
will therefore back the enterprise
and will appoint 10 of the IS direct
OrS.
This bill has been bitterly opposed
in congress, one of the most active OPP
ponents being Senator Turpie Of lndi-
ana. Senator PETER, who always
opposes any progressive and patri
Otto measure, opposes the bill on the
ground that the government has no
constitutional power to execute this
work. But Senator Morgan has
ably answered this argument in a
speech that teens with patriotism
and craftsmanship. In his speech he
SAYS:
II am democrat Of so strict a sect
as to all that relates to the power that
congress may exert over the states or
against the people, that sometimes feel
that | may be dropped from the demo
cratic procession as it moves in an ag-
rights. But ! have always supposed
that this vital doctrine Of democratic
creed was intended for the protection OF
the rights OF the states and their citizens
within the Union, and were not lmlta-
tons upon the power of the United
States to protect and defend the people
and to promote their general welfare in
our dealings and relations with foreign
peoples and governments. As to these
matters, | repeat, would very much re-
greet to be compelled to admit that the
United States does not possess powers
equal to those of any nation in the
world"
AS the company is incorporated
under the Vermont laws and has
several Vermont directors on the
board we should all take a special
intererest in the fate OF this bill.
1t is confidently expected that it the
present congress does not take the
necessary action, the next congress
will, The United States cannot at
ford to let foreign capital build and
own waterway which will be of
such vital importance to the future
prosperity of this country.

Are You in il q?

Mr.. Charles b. Spahr Of Columbia Uni
versity, has recently examined the records OF
the Surrogates of 80 counties in the State of
New York, covering the last three months Of
1893 and including the counties OF New
York and Kings, the richest in the state
The results are remarkable as showing how
few people leave any estates at all and the
low average values Of the estates lett.
Out of 1000 persons over 20 years Of age
dying during the quarter, only
ss5 left estates equal to orexceeding $4,000
2466 " averaging 1892
6649 " " valued at OOOO
Think OF it! Less than per cent were
worth $4,000 and less than 25 per cent were
worth 81 292 when they died. The conclusion
is that whether 9115 out of every 10000
leave an estate OF $4,000 ornot depends upon
whether they have life insurance for that
amount or not.
