SONS RULE.
Not Republicans alone, but Demo-
Gratis as well, realize and have voiced
&c extravaganza of til" Wilson admin
istration, calling attention TO one of
its most vulnerable points. But add
ed to the Democratic raid on the treas
Jury, there are the raids on the civil
service, the Endorsement of the spells
system, criminal policy in Mexico,
ii'at has caused the deaih of Cue
Americans, and the destruction of the
homes and property of 20, 900 more,
and the encouragement Of armed ban
d Try and outragcs.
At the rate the presenl administra-
ton is going the appropriations for
the Gath congress will amount to s4,-
226 ,368,968, practically the cost of the
entire Civil War. The largest sum
ever expended by Republican admin
istration was in the last year of that
war when it used $1,295,O99,2S9.
HOW THE NORTH PAYS
But the South in the saddle has seen
to it that the South was kindly ex-
empted from the weight of these taxes.
Some comparisons of the Democratic
internal revenue burden placed on
Northern states are shown below:
State Wealth Tax
Georgia ;. :. 1882 ,60O,366 651, 579
Connecticut. 2,285 ,454, $3.50 1928, O38
Oklahoma :. 1881 ,091 ,422 442,O21
Wisconsin .. 4,4s7, 725, 25s $3.50, 6s5
Mississippi :. 1,344,s60,O2O 146,s8s
Montana :. :. 1,149,732, 1886 247,OO6
The list is long but throughout
shows these comparisons as between
Northern and Southern states. Wilson
Stands for Spells.
In his first year as president, Mr.
Wilson signed four acts which author
lied government appointments outside
the civil service. The Civil Service
Reform League, of which he was once
a vice president, urged him not to sign
the worst of these bills, but he re-
fused, and later this great national,
non-political organization criticised
him in its annual report.
Help Deserving Democrats"
And as further confederation of the
whole attitude of the administration
towards this subject we have Mr..
Bryan's famous letter, part of which
is as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Wick: Now that you
have arrived and are acquainting your
self with the situation, can you let me
know what positions you have at your
disposal with which to reward deserv-
ing Democrats? Whenever you de.
sire suggestion from me in regard
to man for any place there call on
me. You have mad enough experience
in politics to know how valuable work.
ers are when the campaign is on and
how difficult it is to find suitable re.
wards for all deserving. """" w. j
Bryan.
Wilson's Foreign Policy
But it is when one turns to his for.
eign policy that one realizes the short
comings that have characterized Pres
ident Wilson's administration. HI
lifted the embargo and put arms into
the hands Of savages. Americans anc
other nationalities, and especial,
| hopeless and peaceable Mexicans, were
subjected to all the horrors of uncivil
lied warfare. Neither sex nor condi
ltion of non-combatants was respected
( but all alike, little girls, women, tot
tering old men, fell victims to the lus
and brutality Of rival factions.
\ At Durango in spite of the protes
of the American Consul, and withou
any objection from our government
| the city was given over by the consti
nationalist general to the unrestraine,
license of his soldiers for "a hours
! american women were gathered in Nc
i Donald's institute where their nus

And then to cap the infamy, afte
!! Americans had been abandoned to thei
! fate, and ordered to get out of Mexic
the best way they could, Mr. Wilson
/ government extracted promissor
