Arc They Wiser ard Bet,er xows

As a result of tho elections OF 1883
tho Republicans wont into power dur
ing the following year, with control of
both houses of Congress and the Presi.
decay. Harrison was in tho White
House: Sherman, in thu Senate; and
Reed and Mckinley, in the lower
House. They gave the country an illus
tration Of what the Republican party
can do when it has full swing.
They inherited, when they came into
power, an OVERLOOKING treasury, re-
eeiyed from the first Cleveland admin
istration. During the previous year
the government had paid out 500, GOO,
900 surplus in redemption of bonds not
required by the sinking fund. Over u
hundred millions surplus was lying in
the vaults. What did the Republicans
do with the full power they hads
They passed law which reduced
revenue while it increased taxes. They
passed laws greatly increasing ex.
penses. They passed a silver purchase
law which increased the outstand-
ing redeemable notes floating debit
500, 600, 600 "a year. by 1882 they had
cut down the Federal revenue ID per
cent and increased Federal expenses 20
| per cent, and also increased tho obiiga-
tions, which the treasury MS bank
nad outstanding, by over 500, 600, 600.
The strongest private corporation
would have gone to wreck under such
an amazingly reckless policy. 1t was
enough to force the Treasury of the
United States to ask the aid Of bankers
When has the world witnessed anything
parallel 10 it in government finance? II
is no wonder that tho people in 1892
drove the blulderers and wrcckers from
power.
The simple truth is that the fnan.
cial ruin of the past five years is di-
roctly traceable to the astonishing use
which the Republicans made of tho
power given to them in the elections of
1883. Since then they have not been
granted power to legislate. Can the
people afford to grant them such power
again in 1896? Are thoy wiser, better,
or more patriotic now than they were
eight years ago?
The favor which their party has re-
ceived at recent elections has brought
the inner disposition of Republican
politicians once moro to the surface
They seem TO stand very much as they
stood beforn-in favor Of higher taxes
and more eXtravagant expenses. They
seem to be still willing to make danger.
GUS compromises with the men who wish
to initiate and debase our currency. The
people will be apt to think twice about
it before they permit sUch reckless and
dangerous politicians to mount once
more in the saddle and drive the coun-
try over another precipice.
