Profit and Loss.

When the administration gets ready
to make report to thepeople as to the
profit and loss of the policy of imperial
ism, how will the account stand?
Certainly not in favor of a policy
which burdens the nation with taxes
and gives no adequate return.
In 1890 the national receipts are
S4o3, $50. 98z and the expenditures
s318, ,o4o.71o. and the army and navy
cost the government 500. $50. o44.
How does the account stand for the
present fiscal year?
The receipts were $1,000. 6zo and
the expenditures S6o5. o7z. 17o. of which
Sz93,785,359 went for the army and
navy.
While McKinley's administration
has increased taxes and raised the rev
enue in every possible way. the deficit
this year amounts to s89.1II,559.
Taxes have been Increased II per
cent by the republican administration
and the expenditure has doubled since
1890. Not only this, but the interest
bearing debt of the government has
grown from 5000 600 600 to SI.18z,-
I49, $50.
Now. what has Mckinley to show
for this enormous increase in debt and
taxes?
The war with Spain ended more
than a year ago. This nation is sup
posed to be at peace with all other ma
tons. yet war expenses go on at an in
creased scale
1t will be difficult, for Mckinley &c
make his profit aud loss accounts bal
ance. The people of the United States
are patriotic, but they are not imPeTi-
alists and they viii not long approve
OF policy which costs much more than

EVERY democrat and populist
speaker at the reception Monday
night-Messrs. C. T. Diffenbach-
er, l.. C.. Schnacke, E. L. Hotch-
kiss, ID. T. Armstrong and Capt.
ID. j. Newton-by their patriotic
addresses of welcome to the re-
turned soldiers branded as false
the statement that the republi-
can papers SO frequently make,
that those parties are oppos-
ed to the flag. The addresses OF
those gentlemen were full of pat
riotism and love of country; full
of reverence for that glorious
banner of our country and all it
stands for. They spoke as the
occasion demanded that q II
should speak; as large hearted,
American citizens, not making
as did some of the republican
speakers-ap political meeting out
of an occasion that should have
been without political prejudice
whatever. They are patriots;
the pettifog,ing partizans who
sought to make political capital
out of that meeting are but small
hearted, scheming politicians.

The republican adminiStra-
ton was compelled by the dem
ocrats in the two branches of
congress to take steps to re-
venge the Maine; the administra-
ton was compelled by the dem
ocrats to declare the position of
this country towards Cuba and
her struggle for freedom. Then
the war with Spain began. All
our people were a unit in the
cause of freedom, with the result
that Spain was speedily licked.
But it was done too quick for the
republican administration. The
leaders of that party wanted the
conflict to last longer, to be pro-
longed until near the time of the
next presidential election. When
they fell down on that, by reason
of Dewey's magnificent work at
Manila and Schley's splendid
achievement in front ofSantiago,
they then engineered the Philip
pine purchase in such a manner
that they could keep a semblance
of war in those islands for a few
more years for purely partizan
purposes. Was that statesman
ship? Was that Americanism?
Is that kind of a military policy
what our glorious flag stands
for? We believe a majority of
our people will say no.

WE ARE told that there are a
few men, III at least two places
in the county, who, while claim
ing to be democrats, are working
against the candidates on the
democratic ticket, travelling over
the county with republican work
ers. AS those men have done
that same thing year after year
the people generally pay little
attention to what they do; and
they are generally classed as "re-
publicans in disguise. . Their
attempt to fool the people will
fall fiat this year as it has in

WILL the editors of the Trib-
une or Register, or any others of
the republican press who are
aping the English policy OF inn
perialism, or expansion by force
of arms, tell their readers what
the people of this country would
have done in the revolution days
if Lafayette and his people, after
helping us to lick old England,
had said: Here you new-wOrld
adventures, you must throw
down your arms now and claim
allegiance to the crown of
France. We will arrange your
future for you. You are not
capable of self-government, and
you must obey our commands,
and pay tribute to our country. ="
You know, gentlemen, that our
old revolutionary dads would
have said: ''Get thee hence,
though imperialists, we will form
our own government; will owe
allegiance to no country but
America" and would have en-
forced those statements as de
terminedly as they enforced the
Declaration OF Independence.
