SIX FROZEN FACTS.

Is there any question today In any rea
sonable mind whether Republican or Dem
ecratic rule is better for this nation? II
there is a disposition, In any quarter, tc
forget the sudden plunge from prosperity
to adversely that occurred when Grover
Cleveland succeeded benjamin. Harrison
as president, a good freshener OF the
memory will be found Ia ''six frozen
facts" which the New YORK Morning AID
yertiser has formulated as follows:
During the four years that BENJAMIN
Harrison occupied the presidency federal
revenue exceeded expenditures nearly
S2l0,000,000. During the last two fiscal
years, under Grover Cleveland, federal
receipts have fallen Sl1a, 62s, 309.S 81 be-
hind expenditures.
When Benjamin Harrison stepped
dswn from the chief magistracy of the
nation In 1898, the Understanding debt
OF the federal government was substan-
tally $685., 900, 900. On June 30th last.
after little over two years of Cleveland
''hnancIering and free trade tariff tinker
Ing. the Understanding debt had swol-
len TO SIZE, 2e2, 0G0.
During the fiscal year which closed on
June 30, 1898, most OF which year a Re-
publican president tenanted the White
House. this country built 1897 miles of
railroad. In the following year, under
the whitening blight OF Clevelandism, 1t
built less than half that number, or. to
be exact, 2,247 miles.
In 1892. the first year that the bcne-
fclal effects OF the Mckinley tariff law
began to manifest themselves, the peo-
pie OF the United States sold goods
amounting TO Sl,015,733,0ll to people
abroad. Daring the last fiscal year, ten
months Of which the Ubiquitous Wilson
German tariff law was 10 operation. the
exports from this country had shrunk to
s703, 553.0Is.
According 70 the census OF 1890, the
total amount OF wages paid In the United
States that year year when the Re-
publican party controlled the executive
and iaw-maxing departments OF the ma
ton, reached the magnificent sum OF
S2.2s2, ss3. 265. In 1894. under Grover
Cleveland and a Democratic congress,
only the beggarly sum OF about $1,000
600, 900 was paid In wages.
In 1890 the value OF the manufactured
products OF this country was 80. $40. 1O7,-
624. Four years later, thanks to the
mallgn influence OF a Democratic presi-
dent and Democratic assault upon the
factories. shops, mines and farms OF this
republic, the value OF these products
had dwindled to little over $1,000, o00,-
coo.
This is compact, truthful aud easily
understood presentation Of the case. 1t
shows at a glance why change Is needed.
why the people have been voting for Re-
publicanism and against Democracy, and
why they should continue so to vote. 1t
demonstrates the supreme Importance Of
next years national campaign and points
to the necessity OF making adequate pre-
parations for the csming battle. IL en-
phasizcs particularly the duty OF
streng thening the Republican party at
every point, keeping its ranks solid. its
spirit unbrokeH aud Its forces In good
state OF organization. The situation
calls for perfect equipment all along the
line and does not admit Of carelessness
or apathy at any instant from now until
the vote for president is polled In No
vember. 1895.
1t Is iuconceivable, therefore, that any
clear. hcaded and earnest Republican can
