"asnihston.-From all parts OF the
country comes the cheering news of
satisfaction with the work of congress
and = constantly growing esteem for
the president and his administration.
In fact. 1t is known that Mr.. Taft has
been simply deluged with congratula-
tory messages and letters since ad-
5ournment- All this brings discour-
agement to the Democratic camp, and
. Democratic victory In November, as
far as congressional election is con-
cerned, seems like forlorn hope
The Democratic textbook will be
simply collection OF speeches, will
have an Introduction saying:
We ask careful perusal of the
various subjects discussed, and we feel
sure that every candid person who is
not controlled by desire to profit per-
sonally through party organization will
feel disgusted at the deception in leg
aslatton and administration in the fail
ure to meet the Just demands of the
people"
But the fact is. that never before in
the history Of our government were
the Just demands of the people" SO
fully met as by the Republican major
ity in the present congress. and the
splendid administration Of President
Taft.
Silent on Former Failure.
This introduction" further says:
IF entrusted with power, 1t (the
Democratic party will make a record
which will mean much for the masses,
and in the continuation of the princi-
piles Of free government"
But the Democratic textbook will
have nothing to say of the time when
the Democratic party was entrusted
with power and the dismal failure 1t
made. and the calamity and ruin 1t
brought to the people.
'" There Is not single issue upon
which the Democratic party can sue
cessfully go before the people. Surely
they will not talk about the legislation
enacted by recent Republican con-
crosses. They will not attack the ad-
ministration. for we never had a bet
ter one. They cannot condemn the
tariff which is operating SO success
fully. They cannot talk about ex-
trayagance. for economy is apparent
on all sides.
Surplus Growing Fast.
At the close Of the fiscal year It was
given out that the surplus would be
about 100000, as compared with
deficit of $5S,000.0O year ago. But
later returns show that the surplus
will be $15.00O,000. proving again the
worth Of the new tariff from revenue
standpoint. And with continued pros
perity, this surplus should be ex-
ceeded during the fiscal year ending
June 20. 1911.
The Republican congressional COM
mittee is issuing new documents every
week. Among the recent speeches
printed for distribution is one by Con-
gresham Laudenslager. showing what
would be the disastrous result of
Democratic House of Representatives

sumo OF legislation by Congressman

Esch; large post card giving COM
pactly list of laws enacted during

did speeches of Congressman Long
worth. The speeches issued by the

for them, and can be had by address

Bank building. Washington. D. C.
