The Elbert County tribune. [volume] (Elbert, Elbert County, Colo.) 18??-1920, 1904-10-27

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President the second time the first thing
he did was to withdraw from the Senate
the treaty for the annexation OF Hawnii
and order the American flag there to be
hauled down. The Democratic party ap-
proved this action as brave and pstrS-
otto. He prevented annexation as long
as he could and the Democratic party
applauded every step he took
Finally, in the second year OF McKin-
ley's administration annexation was com
pleted and the islands entered on a new
career OF prosperity. Now no Demo
cratic speaker would dare to advocate
the surrender or evacuation of Hawaii.
A few years hence 1t will be the same
with the Philippines.
A party that opposes extending the
area of liberty aud that advocates haul
ing down the American flag where 1t has
been legally and rightfnlly raised IL not
fit to be entrusted with the administer.
ton OF the government.

dent Cleveland, as against four months
and twenty days that 1t took the Repub-
leans to pass the Dingley bill after the
inauguration of President Mckinley.
No less than 634 amendments were
made TO the Wilson bill before it was
passed-and then, despite this enormous
number of patches to make the hill suit
all Democrats, President Cleveland view
ed 1t with the utmost disappointment"
and said that it was marked with places
where the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might" The colossal fail
ure OF this bill to produce enough reve-
nue. to run the government, as well as the
general blow it inflicted on the Industries
of the country, thereby driving thousands
of men out of employment, was in sharp
contrast to the success of the Dingley
bill in not only producing enough reve-
nue. but in giving employment to thou
sands OF people out of work, and in re-
storing good times to the country.

DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION.
Country Has Suffered Because of II
When that Party Was in Power

Whenever the Democratic party has
had a chance at power its course has
been like that of the donkey in the fable,
which died of starvation while trying to
decide which to eat first, its oats or it's
hay.
1t was this way when Buchanan was
President, and could not make up his
mind whether or not to suppress by force
the secession movement in the South.
and so postponed having anything done
until Lincoln could become President
This dilatory policy was largely respon-
sible for the enormous cost in money and
lives Of suppressing the rebellion.
When Cleveland was President the
country suffered quite as much from ag-
onizing uncertainty as to what the Demo
Gratis were really going to do, as from the
actual evils that they did do. On neith-
err the tariff nor on The money question
was there any unity of opinion amongst
the Democrats, and never was it posi-
BILE to forecast just what would be done.
The Democrats took one year and five
months to work up and pass their Will

FORTY YEARS AGO.
By Henery Gassaway Davis.

By Henery Gassaway Davis.
I'm his letter of acceptance. Mr.. Davis
bewails the fact that the per capita cost
OF administering the government has in-
creased since the days of Buchanan,
when it was S2.o1)
I've wandered to the subject. John--that
note you sent to me,
Advising me that have been put up for
our V. p
And o. can't help thinking, John, how
times are changing so,
1t costs US more TO run things than some
forty years ago.
In honest old Buchanan's days, before
the civil war.
We didn't have the money, nor so much
to spend it for
Two dollars and penny was the aver
age, you know;
Expenses have gone mp heap since
forty years ago.
They say the country's grown in wealth
and Territory, too,
But i have been so busy, John, these
facts ! never knew;
When this was but little land, ex-
penses were quite low
Assessments were not very high, some
forty years ago.
In fact. it's more than forty years, as
sure as you're alive;
Now, since l come to think of it, the
lapse is forty-five:
In 80 Buchanan was the boss of all
the show
q might have been candidate, some
forty years ago..
It's strange the country won't stand still,
that it will spread and spread
why, remember when it crossed the
Mississippis bed.
And when we quelled the red man with
his arrow and his bow
Alas, but times have changed, dear John,
since forty years ago!
Sometimes. dear John, when l observe
that soreness in my neck,
And hear the frantic calls that ask an
other heavy check.
wish I'd run for Office in the olden,
golden glow,
For 1t was vastly cheaper, John, some
forty years ago.
To-day they say the railroads run to al
They span the land from sea to sea,
crosswise, and up and down,
And where was once wilderness the
busy whistles blow
That's why expenses have increased since
forty years ago.
They tell me we have islands now, all
scattered through the sea-
An, John, the times to-day amt like the
times that used to be!
They say that folks use sulky plows
where once they used hoe
These things make bills much higher,
John, than forty years ago.
We didn't have no steamboats, then
not like these nowadays,
No steel and iron liners, nor no cruisers.
Anyway
can't remember everything, but, John,
1 know
The government costs more than it did
forty years ago
They say that we have telephones, cleo
trio lights, and all,
And trolley cars, and miles and miles of
harvest every fall.
Bnt notice the expenses, John! They
worry me, and 80.
1 wish that you had chosen me some
forty years ago

DEMOCRATS AT WAR.
Hearst's Paper Makes Savage Attack
on Ex-Secretary OInev

on Ex-Secretary OIney.
The wake on the Democratic ticket of
1904 has begun, although it is some days
before the day set for the official funeral.
Among the protesting mourners, Hearst s
New York American attracts momentary
attention by the following truculent howl.
There is copied here only the opening
notes of the performance:
According to the little-sauled Olney.
Attorney General in Cleveland's cabinet.
the war with Spain was eomical blum
der, and the men that gave their lives
for the freeing of Cuba were fools that
had much better have stayed at home.
"Mr. Olney, by some unaccounta bic
error of the Democratic managers in this
campaign, has been making speeches in
behalf of Judge Parker, and this noble
sentiment is one of the things that he
has been saying.
"At Cooper Union last night. to a
meeting called under the auspices of
Democracy, he spoke with a nasty sheer
of our needless scrimmage with Spain
over Cuba" and again, later in his re-
marks, sneered at what he called in his
pleasant way that development of lingo
ism and militarism which brought on the
scrap with Spain
IF MR. OI.NEY HAD BEEN EN-
GAGGED TO MAKE VOTES FOR MIR.
ROOSEVELT HE COULD NOT POS
SIBLY HAVE HIT UPON A BET
TER WAY"
This criticism might well be applied,
by the Democrats, to Mr.. Olney's entire
Cooper Union speech. In his comments
upon the Republican foreign policy, the
Philippine question and its financial
management, Mr.. Olney touched. with a
rash hand. the nerves of national honor
and pride. 1t was sure way to pro-
duce a vast crop OF voters for Roose-
welt. 1t is admitted that Olney spoke to
a silent house. 1t is not surprising.
