BOOMERANG FIGURES.
DANGEROUS MATERIAL IN THE
HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Comparisons Showing How that Party
Increased Government Expenditures
More than 81 Per Cent. in q Twelve.
Year Period.

The Democratic campaign writer's and
speakers are making use of highly dan
gerous material when they use figures to
show the large increase in government
expenditures under Republican admins
%tration. Alton B. Parker said to the
Democratic editors at Rosemount:
During Mr.. Cleyeland's first term the av-
erage annual expenditure was about $780,.
100000, For the last three years 1t has
been about $~5l9,0U0,oVl. The governmental
expenditure last year mounted up to $685.
100000. which is not equaied by any year
since the civil war, with the exception Of
the year Of the Spanish war.
Why did MI. Parker use the figures
merely of Cleveland's first term? Why
did he not make use OF the figures for
President Cleveland's second term? Had
these entered into the comparison it
would have been shown that expenditures
gained with the same proportional rapid
ity in Democratic times as in Republic
can times-and in some directions, like
interest on the public debt, they gained
more. The Democratic party, to use Z
legal term. is ~"estopped" from criticism
OF Republican increase in expenditures
when the figures comparing Democratic
expenditures, twelve years apart, show
that the Democrats. just like the Repub-
llcans, We're forced to- follow the rapid
growth of the country with increased ex-
penaitures for the government.
The total expenditures Of President
Cleveland's last fiscal year, 1897, were
$3.50. 714.159 as against $242, 4S3, 139 for
those Of his first year as President, 1885
a gain OF over 81 per cent. in the
twelve-year period.
The total expenditures for the four
years of Cleveland's first administration,
1886 to 1890, We're S1,O52,O 65, 1874. The
total expenditures during Cleveland's
second administration, 1898 to 1897, were
$1,44l.6 14, 1874.
Comparing the first year Of Cleveland's
first term with the last year Of his Sec
ond term. the following were the expendi-
lures:

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Another Evidence of President Roose-
velt'o SnUacity.

Mr.. Roosevelt the President is prov
ing himself to be a long headed man. Ii
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
OF Germany as to The Hague Peace Con.
v%ention, where war may be considered
in all it's perplexities of inception and
conduct. The American and German
ruler are looking to the future with q
view Of decreasing the causes for hostili-
ties; or, if there must be war, Of chang
ing its conduct beneicially for non-com-
blatant nations. Our government has
steadily and persistently he'd to certain
propositions as to the rights Of neutrals,
and is prepared to urge their adoption at
the convention. The positions taken by
the United States are for our future con-
Germ and welfare in case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action is a long look ahead, it is to be
hoped; but as long as war is a possibili-
ty it is statesmanlike sagacity that seeks
in advance to minimize its hardships:
and where we are neutrals it is business
on the part Of this government to know
beforehand the scope of a neutrality nee
e~ssarily international. This move on Mr..
Roosevelt's part is not at ali usurpatiou.
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
it if he were to be consistent. 1t is,
rather, a diplomatic move in the interest
Of humanity, and a matter for approval
by people OF all nationalities, especially
those gathered in America. If Mr..
Roosevelt should be continued as Presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will I'M
doubtedly receive consideration at The
Hague convention when held; but if a
Democrat be chosen to succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least-it being foreign to the ayowed
policy OF the Democratic party as to in
reference in Old World matters. and
also because the proposition is of Repub-
lican origin. 1t is we'll for the people to
understand that the advancement OF the
nation as shown under Republican direc-
ton will halt under that of the Demo-
Gratis, and then be followed. as in other
years OF their supremacy, by retrogres-
sion and by ruin as soon as the vitality
given to the country's affairs by the Re-
publicans has been exhausted.

TT is a condition" that confronts the
people of Chicago moro favored than
those for whom charity is evoked. There
is no better advised man upon the de-
plorable situation than Col. w. T. Rend.
Early identifying himself with ''relief
measures" he has kept himself advised
about ''the gravest problem" as he de-
clares it to be, lever presented to Chi
cago for solution" Besides the thou
sands who have drifted into the city, he
estimates "over 100000 resident work
men in our city are out Of employment"

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
They Receive Abuse of Democratic and
Support Of the People.

According to the Democrats, the Re-
publican Presidents, every one Of them,
have been 4 bad lot, personally and po-
l~itically. Each and all OF them were
declared to be running the country; but
when the day of reckoning came, and the
verdict Of the people was handed in on
their ballots, judgment was given-save
III two cases i'll forty-four years-for the
Republicans. Impartial history acQuits
every Republican President Of criminal
intents and acts. In doing his duty to
the people Mr.. Lincoln became a mar.
tyr. No ruler was ever more vilified and
denounced. His body in life, his spirit
in death, represent the dividing line be-
tween loyalty Inc ~disloyalty, between the
cohesion of the States or their dlsinte-
grafton. When a Democrat, be he leader
or follower, writes or talks of the Re-
publican party as a nation-destroyer
through its measures Or its Presidents, it
is because he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan, who,
as a Democrat, shaped the course Of his
al administration so that the advocates of
secession might have a quick and easy
victory: it was this Democratic President
who left to his Republican successor and
the loyal people he had been chosen to
govern, an empty treasury, a corporals
guard OF an army, q wreck OF a navy,
dismantled fortresses, and legiOns Of Of
fceholders liberated with a disloyalty
that the stern lessons OF war and years
Of Christian peace have not entirely Grad
ieated. And before Buchanan were Dem
ocratic administrations whose acts were
seemingly studied preludes to his crime.
The lineage Of the Democratic party is a
record OF broken pledges conceived in po-
litical iniQuities and %strangled at their
birth. 1t is the Democratic party to
which the people owe four years Of civil
war and eight years of such mi~sgovern-
ment that the rich became poor and the
poor starved.
1t has been the province Of the Re
publican party to undo the work Of its
opponents; it has again and again saved
the nation from degenerating to a low
grade in nationalities. and it has enforced
respect throughout the world for a coun-
try which the Democrats had brought in
to contempt.
OF course the Democrats assail Repub-
lican Presidents and their nominees for
the place of Chief Executive; they do
this more by innuendo than by direct ac-
cusation-a stabbing in the dark rather
than a fight in the sunlight. But there
is always this in favor Of the Republican
party's Presidents from the time they
begin to make history for the nation
that for their support in the ordeal Of
public criticism they have had the Con-
stitution of the Union, its CONGRESSES,
and the voice Of the people.

The President Would DO.

Here is an incident that illustrates
one trait of the Presidents character-a
trait that tends to make him popular.
While James Jeffrey Roche was having
a chat with President Roosevelt in the
White House last week the telephone
bell was ringing somewhat persistently,
saysthe Boston Herald. There being no
attendant at hand the President excused
himself and went to answer the repeated
call. This is the conversation that took
place on the line according to the testi-
mony OF the distinguished gentleman at
the Presidents end OF it.:
well, what is it,"
Hello, is Archie there?"
mo, he's not"
"Who's this I'm talking tot"
1.-THE President"
swell, you'll do. Tell Archie to come
over and play ball"
And tn. President proceeded to exc
cute the order. as directed.
