WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.

At the request of our many
readers, we again publish 'What
the Records Show"
RTHs chief stock in trade of the
Republican csmpaigners this year,
who dare not discuss either the
tariff or the currency question, is a
general indictment of Democratic
rule in which the only thing of
weight is the specific allegation that
under Republican rule the country
fourished like green bay, while a
Democratic administration of affairs
produced industrial distress, COM
mercial failure, and a regular cata-
clysm of business desolation and
misery. Like most of the Repub-
lican campaign statements this one
will not bear investigation. In
deed, the only reliable basis for any
statement of this kind proves very
conclusively that just the reverse is
true. The report of business fail
ures as given by Dun's Mercantile
Agency for the last ten years affords |
little satisfaction to these brave |
campaigners, who are afraid of
nothing but the truth. That report |
is as follows:

1885 q Democratic president wa
inaugurated. Immediately time,
improved. The barometer of bust.
ness shows q falling off in failures
as well as in liabilities, and in 1887
the number of failures had fallen
to 1884; or 1884 fewer than in
Arthur's closing year.
In June, 1888, the Republican
national convention at Chicago
adopted the famous Mckinley re-
solution favoring prohibitive pro-
lection duties. The number of fail
ures leaped up at once to 1869.
Harrison was elected, and one year
of his administration sent the num-
Der up to 1O,SS2. Another year
and the number went up to TO-
907. The next, or 1891, the
number passed high-water mark,
and reached 1928, and he closed
his administration with a year in
which the failures numbered TO-
344, with liabilities at only $ll4,-
GA, l67-more then twice as many
failures as in 1873, with less than
half as great an amount in liabili-
ties. In other words, while the
average liabilities in 1873 was about
$45, 900, showing that the small
business men we're not largely re-
presented, the Republican policy, |
faithfully carried out under Harri-
son, had resulted in reducing the
average liability to about ST. 900
in 1922 fact which unerringly
points to the gradual elimination
from trade and industry of the in
1iyidual and their complete control
BY multi-millionaires in the form
IF trusts, combines, and syndicates.
March 4, 1898, Benjamin Harri-
'on stepped down and out of the
presidency. The treasury he had
ound overlooking with a surplus
lie left bare, with an actual deficit
or his successor to supply; he had
lishonored silver and discredited

ninistration had fostered monopoly
nd discouraged individual enter =

lnlS VAST INCREASE was OCc8SlOneQ OF
the great number Of bank failures in 1895
the liabilities Of which aggregated $40.
$685. 500.
The, record of the Republican
party during the years following
the war when its control of all de-
partments of the government was
undisputed and complete is a
shameful one in this regard. Who
can forget the dark days of 1873
a darkness which came on a clear
day when the skies of hope were
brightest In 1873 there were
8, l83 failures, with liabilities aggre-
eating 1928, 400, 900. Then dis
aster ran riot. In 1874 there were
$3.50 failures; 1876, 7,74O; 1876,
9,O92; 1877, 1872, and in 1873,
lO,478l When it is remembered
that there was little business done
and few failures in the south;that
the west was new and thinly popu-
lated, though full of enterprise and
rapidly growing, during all those
years, it viii be seen that the ratio
of failures to population was much
higher even than that of the un-
precedented year of 1898, about
which the Republican orators pirate
with such affectation of virtuous
indignation.
In this connection it viii be
noted that the 5,lS3 failures of
1873 represented liabilities to the
amount of $228, 499, 900. The TO-
478 failures of 1873 represented
liabilities amounting to $234, $685.
1872, or less than Sc, 000, 900 in ex-
cess of the liabilities of the 1873
failures. What does that mean2 1t
means that the whole trend of Re-
publican legislation then, as now,
,cGs against the little fello,os in
trade and isdGstry, steadily fore
ing them to the wall in the interest
of the rich, and shows that the Re-
publican party was then, as 1t is
now, the plant and corrupt tool of
monopoly
But the table above given, which

"It is possible that there never was a

England succeeds it means a loss to

which are believed to be the richest in

portant, it means the entire control by

question is one of historical records and

fell heir to the rights formerly. possessed
by Holland. Venezuela obtained by con-
quest the lands formerly owned by Spain.
The problem to be solved is to find what
were the possessions of Holland and
Spain, and so settle what is today the
territory of England and Venezuela.
Year after year Great Britain has push
ed her way westward, until she has ad.
vanced her claim over a territory of

Thc Auowax Outbreak.

The organ of the Toffey wing of the Re-

to break the force of M. A. Lincoln AL
loway's anti-Catholic rhetoric by print
ing a wholly disingenuous account of
what he said. The Chronicle" SAYS
Mr.. Alloway was the first speaker. He
explained in an enthusiastic vigorous
manner the aims and ends of the Pa
triotic Order, Sons of America. He con-
demned in unmeasured terms the exist,
that as long as they remained on the
statute books, the criminal and pauper
class Of Europe would be permitted to
enter the United States and play havoc
with the interests of the country in gen.
eral.
This is a deliberate f%alsehood. Mr.. AL
loway did not speak as above. He spoke
expressly and directly against the Catho-
lie Church. His speech was exactly

nothing less and nothing else. 1t was
a constituencies appeal to ignorance
and prejudice. couched in coarse and
vulgar language. In it, he expressly
claimed that Governor Griggs and the

societies.
Mr.. Higgins. who was the ''giver of the

his remarks the endorsement of their
silence.

statement in it's editorial column to the
effect that Sheriff Toffey has no financial
interests in the paper. This is. no doubt.
true. 1t has never been asserted that
he had. The chronicle" is the prop
erty'' in whole or part of Deputy Sher-
if Higgins, who runs it as the organ of
the Sheriff and his faction of the Repub-
lican party. 1t is supported upon the
patronage of the Sheriff's office and,
practically nothing else. What little
else there is. is the product of Sheriff
Toffey's personal or political influence.
