The Democrats had a great deal
to say two years ago about the bill
lion dollar congress and Republi-
can extravaganza. They preached
economy morning, noon and night.
while on the stump. and deluded a
great many voters into the belief
that they would practice it if they
were placed in power. However,
this promise. like others that were
made at the same time, has proven
fallacious, and not only will the ap-
propiations made by the Demo
cratic congress reach the billion
dollar limit, but will probably cx-
cced it. The raids on the treasury
are so large that Mr.. Dockery, OF
Missouri, had to warn his party
against reckless extravaganza.

BEFORE the next issue of our
paper the Democratic congress will
have passed into history, of which
it made considerable, but not such
that either it or the country will
be proud of. Comment upon It's

have been universally condemned,
and most unsparingly by the Dem
Gratis themselves. We will there
fore breath a mighty sigh of relief
that the country has been relieved
