WHY OUR DEBT GREW
TREASURY LOSSES UNnER DEMO
CRATIC TARIFF.

Decrease In Favorable Trade Balance Un-
Been Circulated at Home D. Protection
Means Individual Prosperity.
A published statement of our imports
and exports during the first 20 months
of the Mckinley and German tariffs,
and another statement of the treasury
receipts during the same periods, show
first that in our foreign trade relations
the balance of trade in our favor had
been $245, 900, 900 during the Mckinley
tariff period, and only $3.50, 900. 900 un-
der the German tariff. In round num-
bers our favorable trade balance de-
creased by $95, 900, 900 under the exist
ing Democratic tariff in IS months.
The other exhibit of treasury receipts
showed national income of $102, 000,-
900 less during the first 30 months of
the German tariff than during the COR
responding Mckinley tariff months.
The exact figures are as follows:

Foreign trade balance in
our favor. $244, 945 S3l $50, 665, l79
Receipts of the United
States treasury ....... 600. 49, $50 sos. IA $50
This takes no account of the treasury
departments stagnation when the threat
of free trade was hanging over the coun-
try and there was treasury deficit of
$72, 325, 448 during the Democratic fis-
cal year ending July 80, 1894.
But the above table shows O further
treasury loss of $1O2, 275, 791 during the
subsequent 20 months, after the enact
ment of the tariff for revenue only"
Including the previous fiscal year, the
total treasury deficiency under the DEM
ocratio administration, from July /,
1898, to July 1, 1896, has been $147,.
1885, 2S
AS already stated, the German tariff
loss in our favorable trade balance, as
compared with the similar Mckinley
tariff period, was $94, $50, $50. There
fore we have the following combined
losses of Democracy:
Treasury loss under Democratic adj
ministration, 1885,. .s147 463, 03
Foreign trade balance loss in % Cor
man tariff months. ................. 94,2S0, 652
Iotal ooO
These figures approximate so closely
the amount ($262, 1899, $500 by which
the national debt has been increased
under this Democratic administration
since March 1, 1898, that it is evident
that the financial straits Of the country
have been due, solely and exclusively,
to the threat of free trade and the "mis
cradle makeshift" that the Democratic
party gave us.
Had the Mckinley protective tariff
been maintained there would have been
no loss of S147, 900, 900 in our national
revenue. Had the Mckinley tariff been
maintained there would have been no
loss Of 800, 600, 900 of gold sent out Of
the country to pay that extent of I'M
favorable trade balance brought about
by the German tariff. Had the McKin-
ley tariff been maintained the 500, 000,-
900 of gold would have been circulated
among our own people at home. the
treasury would have received $l47. 000,-
600 more money to meet its obligations,
there would have been no financial panic
and no necessity for increasing the ma
tional debt, which increase is, therefore,
directly traceable to Democratic tariff
tinkering.

HOW TO BOIL WATER.
Too Little Care of the Fluid We Drink
Constantly.

Too Little Caro- of the Fluid We Drink
Constantly.
The secret is putting good fresh water
into neat kettle, already quite warm,
and setting the water to boil quickly
and then taking it off to use in tea,
| coffee or other drinks before it is spoiled.
| To let it steam, simmer and evaporate
until the good water is all in the at
mosphere and the lime and iron and
dregs left in the kettle is what makes a
good many people sick.
More frequently than otherwise the
breakfast kettle is set boiling with a
remnant of yesterdays supply in it and
the coffee urn has been neither washed,
dried, summed nor aired. Possibly in the
interest Of rigid and mistaken econ
omy some of yesterdays coffee is also
boiled over, and the partakers wonder
at their lassitude and dyspeptic condi-
tons. Whatever is neglected, the tea.
kettle and its associate pots should be
thoroughly cleansed, dried and aired
every day, and in no case should water
that has stood over an hour in pitcher,
pail or kettle be used for cooking.
If people will drink tea and coffee,
let them at least have it as nearly free
from poisonous conditions as possible.
That much benefit may be derived by
many people from drinking hot water is
not disputed, but the water should be
freshly drawn, quickly boiled in clean
md perfect vessel and Immediately used.

Suppose You Should BE Mistaken.

Farmers who think that free silver

beautiful stories about the great volume
of money which will be ready for loan.

we adopt the silver standard But sup
pose the scheme should not work in the
way they expect? Suppose that as soon
as it becomes likely that free coinage
law will be enacted there is a general
demand that all mortgages should at
once be paid in full? The promise of
cheap money when free silver comes
won't help you now. Where are you
going to get the money to pay off your
mortgage? Do you suppose any man is
going to make loans while there is
possibility of his being repaid in 80 cent
dollars? And if You can't raise the
money when it is called for, and if your
farm is sold at a sacrifice. where will
you be then?
Think these things over Don't be
fooled by the free silver idea that cheap
money means low rates Of interest. The
facts are just the other way Interest is
far higher i'll all silver using countries
than in gold countries. If we go ON the
silver standard the men who have CAPT.
tai to lend will charge more interest
than they do now i'll order to cover the
risk of being repaid in deprecated sill
yer dollars. So if you succeed in Dor.
rowing under free coinage you will pay
higher interest on the loan. Ask any.
body who knows the facts whether in

land or Germany, with their currency
based on gold. Then make up your mind
that you will vote for the financial sys.

him willing and ready to go. oh

There was an anniversary cele-

day, the 18th birthday of the Odd
Fellows order. A large crowd was
in attendance-a fair sprinkling of
Columbians-and a most interesting
time was had. On reaching Gull
leoka, the Odd Fellows met at the
town hall and marched from there
to the Presbyterian church-in
double column. Their regalia was
new and attractive. Several excel
lent addresses were made, DR.. w.
A. Smith and Rev. j. w. Hammer
being on the list. The music was
furnished by the choir of the Presby.
terrain church and was splendid,
Miss Hamilton, a teacher in the
Culleoka High School, was the lead
ing vocalist, and captured every one
with the sweetness and purity of her
voice. A magnificent dinner was
rendered to all visitors, and a true
hospitality, for which Culleoka is
noted, was dispensed. Among the
number from Columbia were
