land was elected in 1892, under Repub-
lican legislation on the financial and
tariff questions (Which had been en-
forced up to the end of his first term,
for nearly thirty years., this interest

ton, had been reduced to less than ST.
000, OO0, 900 when he went out of office at
the close Of his first term. One Demo
cratic President in four years of this
period of thirty years has increased
the public debt $1OOOOO,OOO for each
year that he has been President.
ITO the people Democracy under Mr..
Cleveland bas been a very expensive
institution. Under Mr.. Cleveland's
last term, and the Democratic legisla-
tlon on the tariff, the Wilson bill, what
hss happened in comparison with the
twelve years, OF any term of four years
OF the twelve, that preceded 1892?
During the present administration of
Mr.. Cleveland, the government interest
bearing debt has been increased $780,
100000. The ordinary debt of the gov
eminent has heen increased about
$l40OOO,O00, making the legacy that he
will turn over to the Republican Presi.

tariff question, he had this to say:
1.-THE greatest crime in the nineteenth
century against the business industries
of our country was the passage of the
Wilson bill. The destruction of the
value of property, the destruction of the
business interests of the country. the
great army of unemployed, the reduc-
ton in the wages of labor are all the
results of that law. The present hard
times, commencing in 1893, and yet up-
on US, were caused by this law, Just as
the history of the country shows that
the dreadful panics of 1919, 1887 and
1857 were caused by similar Democratic
free'trade legislation on the tariff cues.

CLEVELAND AND THE CURRENCY.

1t is but a week until the people will
know what President Cleveland will
have to say to congress in his mes
sage, and then all conjecture will be
set at rest. 1t will be a farewell mes
sage, but it is not likely that Mr..
Cleveland will attempt TO make it
in any respect a document for the flu
ture guidance of his countrymen, such
as Washington's farewell address has
proven to be. If he does, he will hard
ly succeed.
Very much of the message will be
of the regular routine order, neces-
sarily dull and uninteresting. 1t is al
most certain that the great central
idea of it will be the currency CUES
ton, though the tariff may be made
somewhat prominent; this is hardly
likely.
One idea has dominated Mr.. Cleve-
land during his cecond administration
and that is currency reform. This idea
was at the bottom of his calling of
congress in extra session. The late
election by no means settled the ques-
ton. At most it settled but one phase
of it, if it did settle it. The danger
that threatened the treasury gold re-
serve through the greenbacks is as
great today as ever though not so
active. The endless chain is not be-
ing worked to the same extent that
it was, but it still exists. Everybody
knows this, no one better than the
president. If he does not recommend
some plan for permanently retiring the
greenbacks the country will be sur
TIised. Many people regard the green
backs as something sacred because
they served as money during the war
AS well hold Parrot guns and Sharp's
rifles in sacred remen brance as the
greenbacks. They were a war measure,
and their great virtue was the virtue
OF necessity.
If the president attacks the cur
rency question, he will undoubtedly at
tack it through the greenbacks. If
congress gives no heed to his recon-
mendations. which it probably will not,
they will fall dead. If it does, the
whole question that was thought to
have been closed in November may be
reopened in December.
People will be most anxious to learn
the presidents vie VS. on this question
though they will be interested to learn
what his parting official words are In
a sense the message will be the closing
of an eventful career.

An ECHO OF THE cAMPAIGN.

In his speech before the Home Mar
ket club. Senator Hoar, among other
things, said:
1t takes more than one day for
THANKSGIVING this year. No private
dwelling. no church, no ordinary build
ing. can contain our joy The cam
paign of strife, of dishonor. OF broken
! faith. of sectional hate, Of bankruptcy,
| is ended as it deserved. The American
people once more stand before the ma
| tions of the world for peace upon
earth and good will to men. The flag
which our fathers left us, and our
brothers saved for us without rent,
we hand down without stain. 1t is
a good time for Union soldiers to cele-
| brate.
The campaign was one of strife, as all
are. but wherein was it a campaign of
dishonor, of broken faith, of sectional
hate? Senator Hoar belongs to the
party that triumphed and his super
abundance of thankfulness shows that
he does not regard his party as having
been the champion of dishonor and sec
tional hate. All his opprobious words
he applies to the party that was de-
feated.
It is an accented axiom of republican
government that there must be parties.
II there are parties, they will, they
must, differ; but is it impossible for
them TO differ honestly and still both
have the common good as their OBJ
ject? It is, if we are to accept what
Senator Hoar says. That which char
acterized the last campaign more than
anything else was the great earnest
ness of the people: and because those
who advocated the principles of the
Chicago platform did so with that
earnestness that comes from honest
conviction they were denounced as rev.
olutionists and anarchists. The false
hood and wickedness of the charge is
proven beyond any possibility of dis
pute by the quiet. American manner in
which they accepted the result of the
election. They advocated what they
believed; their views We're not adopted
by the majority of the people, and they
cheerfully acquiesced in the verdict.
There was no sectional hate so far
as the silver people were concerned.
The west and the south adopted the
same views on the great question of
the day. The east and the north
adopted another view. The people of
each section contended for what they
believed to be right. If that is sec
tional hate, let it be sectional hate.
The absurdity of Senator Hoar's talk
is shown when it is remembered that
the charges he brings are made against
six and a half millions of American cit
liens.
Just one word on this subject of sec
tional hate. 1t does not exist in the
hearts of the people who voted for Mr..
Bryan, but Senator Hoar and those
who never cease to talk as he does on
the subject are doing all in their power
to engender this sectional hate, and if
they will but persist in it long enough
we can tell them that they will have
an abundant crop of it. People who do
not want whirlwinds should not sow
winds
