Mr.. ARTHUR +. CURRAN has been a
lifelong Democrat, was for several
years Editor Of Democratic paper at
Dover, and held a Government position
at Washington City during the first
part Of Mr.. CLEVELAND's present term.
It was while in the Government service
that he had his eyes opened to the fact
that Free-trade was ruinous to this
country, and his true Americanism
prompted him to embrace the doctrine
OF Protection. Then came the Free
silver craze, and true TO Democratic
traditions he supported the cause OF
Sound Money. To sum up, he has now
fOrsaken the latter.day Democracy al
together, and will hereafter be found in
full fellowship In the Republican party.
THE LEDGER extends the glad hand"
to such as Mr.. GURRAN.

1T is thought that Democrat will
offer the customary resolution of thanks
to Speaker REED at the close Of Con-
gress. At the close of the Fifty-Hrst
Congress no Democrat would offer the
resolution thanking REED, and the
Democratic side voted sOlidly against 1t.
You see our friends the Democrats have
learned something. In the former Con-
grsss they denounced REID because he
contended that a man was present when
he was in his seat In the House. In
other words, when he sat like a bump
on a log" and refused to answer to his
name that fact was not sufficient to
have him marked absent" A year or
two later the Democrats were glad to
acknowledge the correctness of Speaker
REEDS ruling. They always fall into
line after a brick house has tumbled on
them.

Of progress,

THIRTY years ago the paper on which
the first number Of The Republican
was printed was made by water-power
at Hamilton, o., and cost Is cents a
pound in the warehouse at Cincinnati.
1t then cost So cents to have it drayed
to the river, 81 for freight by steamboat
to Maysville, and 25 cents to dray it
from the wharfbOat to the Office. The
paper on which this issue Of The
LEDGER is printed is made by electricity
at Niagara Falls, n. Y, and costs %
cents a pound delivered at the railway
depot in Maysvllle, costing 20 cents
more to dray it to the Office. Fifty
reams now cost about $50; thirty years
ago, about 1925. No wonder we had
then to charge 81 so a year for
weekly issue, while now we give a
daily for 50.

it broke the record up to that time, but
the Fifty-fourth Congress has gone far
beyond it. The contested election cases

wherein Maysyille has advanced in
every material respect save the abandon
ment of her damnsble mud roads,-it
may not be amiss to repeat what was
said in these columns last week in re-
gard to the National conditions of 1867
as compared with 1896. The memory
Of the majority of men reaches back to
the former period. That was flush year
at the end of the War. The Govern
ment had paid ont immense sums in
closing up military accounts, and hun
dreds Of thousands of soldiers had re-
ceived payment in full. 1t is, there
fore, sharp test of 1886 to put it under
definite analysis beside 1867. Persons
who are celebrating the good old times
and grumbling about existing condi-
tions should welcome the deadly par
allel, and not find fresh cause for COM
plant if this trial by simple arithmetic
goes against them.
The figures are from the nineteenth
annual abstract of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, which has just come from the
Government printer. Let the much
discussed per capita" open the tourney.
All who can recall the year 1867 have
the impression that the circulation Of
money was then lively. In that year
the per capita was $50 IL in 1896 it
was $32 S6. The per capita Of money
in circulation in 1867 was $1S 2S, one
half Of it valued in gold at 72c on the
dollar; in 1896 the per capita circula-
ting was $2l 10, all valued at par in
gold. The per capita Of the National
debt in 1867 was 500 90; the year 1896
saw it reduced to $l3 IL. Between the
same years the per capita of interest
on the debt declined from So "a to Ace,
and the annual National tax on each
citizen from 80 81 to 81 "a. These
changes for the better are 80 striking
that no disgruntlsd citizen will venture
to mention the subject of per capita
unless he is thoroughly misiRformed
about it.
In other directions the comparison
comes out quite as we'll. Our popula-
ton has about doubled since 1867, when
the estimate was S6,2l1,OOO. Now 1t is
71.263,OOO. Each citizen now averages
an annual expenditure of 81 16 on the
PostOffice, against Ace in 1867. The
average expenditure on public schools
is 80 per cent. greater than in 1867.
These two items show a positive adj !
vance In civilization. Imports are
about the same per capita, though the
Volume has doubled. In thirty years
duties on dutiable goods have declined
from 1857 per cent. to 4Ols per cent.
and on all imports from 44.56 per cent.
to 20.67 per cent Exports are greater
per head in the proportion Of tl2 II to
