Cost of Governments.

Twenty-eight years have passed since
the Democratic party of the state of
New York in convention assembled
recommended to the national DemOc-
racy the nomination of Samuel j. Til
den as its candidate for the presidency
and declared il to be their settled
conviction that return To the con
stitutfonal principles, frugal expenses
and administrative purity OF the found
ers of the republic is the first and
most impcriOus duty of the times-the
commanding issue now before the PEG
pie of the Union
This strong expression was called
forth by the national expenditures for
the year 1879, which amounted TO
$2T4. 900 900. a situation which, in the
opinion of majority Of our people,
| justified an imperative demand for re
form in the administration Of public
affairs AS the expenditures of the
| last fiscal year amounted to the enOT-
nous total of S5S2. OOO. 900, it is evident
| that thorough investigation of the
public service and the immediate aban-
| donment OF useless and eXTravagant
expenditures are more necessary now
! than they were then. This astounding
increase is out of all proportion to the
| increase OF our population and finds no

There are enough German citizens
alone 10 reflect this sentiment in
practical way at the polls to give Hi
nOis 10 the democratic party if once
with one mind, they become convinced
that President Roosevelt intends TO
make this country a great world power
in the military sense"
The demand among the people for
tariff revision and reciprocity is doing
much to turn voters from the republi-
can party, which has refused 10 do
anything along this line. 10 the demo-
cratic parry which is pledged TO tariff
revision and TO genuine reciprocity.
The strength of this sentiment in the
middle west is shown by the action of
the Chicago Tribune. a staunch re-
publican paper. in warning the republi
can leaders that they viii lose many
votes unless they change about on
these questions. The Tribune SAYS
editorially: a revision of the tariff
by friendly hands Will not harm Ameri
can producers and viii be Of the great

next house is republican the Fifty
ninth congress will revise the tariff
There has 10 be a revision. for the
need is apparent. If the republican
party fails to make it the work will he
entrusted TO otherand unfriendly hands.
Republican candidates should pledge
themselves 10 reciprocity. which will
benefit both producers and consumers.
In his last words President Mckinley
called reciprocity the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial
development He asked why tariffs no
longer needed for revenue or to protect
home industries should not be employ
ed to extend American trade in for
eign markets. There are today tariff
duties not needed for either of these
purposes. The reciprocity policy is SO
popular with the people that the demo
Gratis will steal it if the republicans do
not look out. Judge Parker quotes APP
| prOvingIy in his letter of acceptance
what Mckinley said OF that policy.
| The democratic national platform IA
vors liberal trade agreements especi-
ally with Canada. The republicans
cannot safely let the democrats get
ahead of them there. \ sane, strong
sentiment exists in the United States
in favor OF reciprocity with Canada"
The admissions of the Chicago TTi-
buns that tariff revision and reci proc
ity are so popular with the voters can
but hurt the republican party, the lead
ers of which have refused TO favor
either tariff revision or reciprocity.

What Influences the Voters.

The correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle who has been travelling through
the central west has been endcavoring
10 ascertain what political arguments
were appealing most effectively 10 the
voters in this campaign. The growing
extravaganza of the republican party
was found To he one great source OF
discomfort with the republican party.
The weakness of the republican posi-
ton on the trust question and espeCi-
ally the denial Of any relation between
the tariff and trusts is another element
of republican weakness. Fear OF mil
itarism and Imperialism is also anoth-
er strong factor, especially in the
states where the foreign born citizens
are numerous. Mayor Harrison OF
Chicago. in an interview with the cor
respondent of the Brooklyn Eagle
brought this point out He said:
Evidently the republican leaders
feel that especially in the state from
which Lincoln and Grant came to the ma
tion at the time of its great peril, the at
tiJude OF President Roosevelt toward
the expansion OF our naval and mill
tary power will be fully understood
and approved. In this | believe they
are entirely mistaken. Evidently they
completely overlooked the significant
fact that we have hundreds of thou

Roosevelt a Peril.

In the course of his address before
the Connecticut Democratic conven-
ton Henry Wade Rogers. dean of the
Yale Law school, had the following to
say about Roosevelt:
since he became president he has
shown not only by his treatment OF
Panama and 10y his action in the pen
sion matter as well as by his dictate
rial assumption of authority in every
department of the government such Il
disregard of the limitations of power
as II lead many thoughtful men to dis
trust his wisdom. II is this distrust
which perhaps more than any other
reason has led the independent press
of the country almost without cxcep-
ton to pronounce against him in this
campaign and TO regard him as n dam
