mocracy,a Bad Record.

When the veterans of the Civil War
were with Gen. Grant before Richmond
or with Sherman marching to the sea, a
Democratic national convention declared
the war failure and demanded a dis
honorable peace. When the business
men, the wage-earners and honest men
or all classes were battling for sound
money and the gold standard the Demo-
cfauc party. as an organization was
clamoring for free silver at 16 to /.
When the Republican party was contend
ing for protection to American manufac-
turers and workmen, it's opponents were
advocating a policy destructive to both.
What coed thing has the Democratic
party ever done. anyhow?

Export of Manufactures.

Figures recently issued by the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ingtOn show that during the month of
July last our exports Of manufactures
amounted to $4OOOO,OOO, against $751;
100000 Of agricultural products. During
June the exports of manufactures were
nearly $40 100000, against $37, 100000
of agricultural products. This is the first
time in the history of the country that
the exports of manufactures have ex-
ceeded those of the farm. This does not
mean that the exports of farm products
are falling off, but that those Of manu-
features have greatly increas ed. This is
due to protective tariff which, while it
benefits American manufactures also in
creases the home demand for American
farm products.

Democratic Extravaganza and Waste Compared
with Republican Business Methods.
ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR W. 7. OURB|N
How the State Debt Was Increased by Demo-
Gratis and How 1t Was Rapidly Re-
duced by Republican
Officials.

and a decade of Republican control Of
State affairs will have resulted in a total
debt reduction of nearly six and a half
million dollars. We have been paying
bonds due in 1909 and 1915, and the pay
ments made on the debt under the next
administration will have to be confined
to the discharge of obligations as a mat
ter of fact not due for decade.
THE cancellation of this Indebtedness
to the amount Of nearly six million dol
lars is in itself very gratifying, and it is
all the more pleasing when it is taken
into account that the annual interest
charges are now SIP, 1876 less than they
were when the Republican party as
sumed control of the State government,

A Sign of Prosperity.

There is no better criterion Of general
prosperity than the postal business.
When times are good the postal revenue
increases. and vice versa. The report of
the Postmaster General shows that for
the year ending July l, 1899, the receipts
from postal revenue were S76.111, 900.
For the year ending July l. 1902. they
were S119.95S229. an increase of 81 per
cent during seven years of continuous
Republican rule. During the year ending

1891 to 1895, when the fiscal and legisla-
tive affairs Of the State were in the same
hands that wrote the Democratic State
platforms pronouncement against 'ex-
travagance.' The Republican Legisla-
ture of 1895 reduced it to II cents; it
has since remained there, the public
school system of the State has been car
ing for an increasing number of pupils
without limitation of liberality, and this
the Democratic State platform calls 'ex-
travagance!
Pocketed by Democrats.
During the period from 1891 to 1880
Democratic State officials, under Dem
ocratic fee and salary law, put in their
own pockets fees, in addition to their
salaries, aggregating, on conservative
estimate, half million dollars. The
fees in the same departments have been
increased two hundred per cent during
the period of Republican control that has
succeeded, and under the Republican fee
and salary law of 1895 every dollar of
the amount went into the State treasury.
And a Democratic State convention, pre-
sided over by a gentleman who, as a
State official from 1890 to 1894, drew
from the State treasury in fees, over and
above his salary, 5000, denounces this
as extravaganza!
1.-The total tax levy for all State pur-
poses during the last period of Demo
cratic control of the legislative and fiscal
affairs Of the State, continuing from 1891
to 1895, averaged 341 cents on the hun
dred dollars. Under the period of Re-
publican control which has ensued the
total State levy for all purposes has av-
eraged 1856 cents, a decrease of 10 per
cent-this in a State which has increas-
ed in wealth, in population in demands

Party Records.

In every national campaign for forty
years past the Republican party has
stood upon it's record of things done, OF
laws enacted. of policies esta blished un-
der which the country has progressed
and prospered. The record of the Dem
ocratic party made in two administra-
tons was so full of disaster. Of CONNER
cial shipwreck, Of industrial paralysis
and business failures that its chief busi-
ness in recent years has been to get az
far away from its record as possible.

Not the Only Important Question.

Admitting That the gold standard is "ir-
revocably fixed" as Judge Parker says,
though he did not help fix it, that is only
one Of many important financial ques-
tons that may come up in relation to
financial matters. The question OF the
preservation and extension Of our sys-
tenn Of banking and currency; the refund
ing of our national debt as it may. from
time to time, become due, and many 9TH
err questions OF like importance NAV
arise. To place the settlement of these
questions in unfriendly hands might re-
suit in such a disturbance of business as
would shock the whole country.
