Mr.. Editor:-Nominee John w.
Davis says there has never been a
scandal under a democratic admins
tration and that we should cut out ex-
cessive duties on imported goods.
Let us look over the past record a
little and see what we find. In 1884
by the skin of his teeth, Cleveland
was elected president, the first DEM
ocrat since '56 when old Buchanan
went into office and later betrayed
his country into the hands of the
secessionists.
By thrift and economy the repub-
lican party up to '84 had accumulated
surplus in the treasury over and
above running expenses of the gov
eminent and that surplus was the
democratic campaign issue. l was
living in the south at the time and
the orators and press assailed that
surplus as the most wicked and abom-
Unable crime that could have happen
ed to this country and they were for
taking the surplus, which amounted
to about 1851 for every man, woman
and child in the nation, and dividing
it among the people.
We cannot accuse either Cleve-
lands administration of scandal
for he was among the most honest
presidents ever to occupy the White
House. But there was rank ineffi-
cheney. Cleveland was not a practical
business man and he selected for his
political and financial advisors, inn
practical visionary theorists who
were not going to usher in the millen-
ium away ahead of time by removing
the tariff on products of almost ev-
ery nation under the sun and allow
them to come in and compete with
our own farm and factory products.

expenses Of the government. At this
time war clouds were looming up be-
tween Spain and Uncle Sam but the
democratic statesmen and financiers
were too timid to tackle it and it was
showed off on the incoming admin

1t was '96 while the administration
was in its last struggle of expiring
agony that one w. j. Bryan stood up
in meeting and said 'iYou shall not
cruelty man on cross of gold"
about as idiotic an expression as a
sane person ever uttered, as though
it was any worse to cruelty him on a
cross of gold than on a cross Of free
silver, free trade, or wild cat curren-
cy, and lot of people fell for it too,
but not enough to get them any

paramount issue to fit each one. In
this campaign the colonel's para

Pardon little personal experience
here. In go my son and I without
individual efforts, prepared the land,
planted, cultivated and cribbed ten
thousand bushels of as good corn as
ever went into feed hunks. This was
in Northwest Missouri about the time
Grover went out of office. sold
one-half of my five thousand bushels
for eleven cents bushel in the crib.
Our gross returns for the years work
was hardly fifty cents day for each
Of us. Out of that we had to pay ex-
penses of ourselves and teams, pay
house and pasture rent and other in
cidentals. We had neither riding
plows, or cultivators, or even two
rowed cultivators and the hours were
long and arduous. And when they
talk about reducing the tariff on
dairy and poultry products, / say get
behind me Satan. For not only was
farming paralyzed but every indus
try as well. What good will it do the
working man if he can buy every
thing he needs as cheap as dirt if he
hasn't job at living wages.
In the past few weeks our town
has been invaded by horde Of Of
flee seekers, who have prescribed
nostrums, lotions, salves, ointments,
panaceas, dopes and cure-alls for the
nations ills and none Of them are
worth shucks except to help boost
their respective advocates into pub
lie office.
