ONE YEAR OF GROVER.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES HAVE NOT BEEN FULFILLED. The Tear Has Been One of Perpetnal Calamity-Wilson Bill ta Hard on the Farmers The War Bead Distribution, on Pensioners iTree Democracy's DeceUfulnesi. It is just a little over one year since the Democratic party as ,umed control of the Government of the United States. Let lii look back and seo what thia "refcrm party" 1 as a-compllshed. Whn tie Cemooiatic party assumed the reins of power c n 4th of March, 1893, it pledged itself to "reform" the tariff; it pledged it-elf to put the national currency on a soun I basis: it pledged itself to strengthen the public credit; it pledged itself to introduce economy in all the departments of the government: it pledged itself to a firm yet conservative foreign policy; and it pledged itself to inaugurate an era of unprecedented nr.isneritv. How has the Democratic pa ty kept ! its pledges since tne 4th 01 Aiarcn, 1893? It has not "reformed" the tariff. Although a rear has elapsed, and although it has' the largest tvo. ki ig ma-, jority known since the war-time Congressej, it ha. barely begun its tariff tinkering. .Ah,h ugh Congress has practically been in session since the 7th of August, 1893 about seven months it has. after all this time. only succeeded in getting its new tariff bill through the House. It is yet lo be acted unon in the. Senate, and it la more than doubtful what its fate will be there. So much for the raoidityof the "tariff refoim" which the uemoorats nave effected since tne 4tn of Mwrch, 1893. Wow as to the sincerity of tne Demo crats' "tariff-reform" idea. In thoir platform the said: "We denounce protection as a fraud; a robbery of the great majority of the American per pie for the protection of tho few. We declare it to be a fundamental pKhciple of the Democratic rttrtv that the Fed eral Government ha ; no power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purpofes of revenue only." Have the Democrats adhered to this declaration? No honest man can say they have. Bad and vicious as we believe the Wilson tariff to be, it is still not a tariff for revenue only, and everybody knows that it is not; all sorts of inter ests are protected in it for various reasons sectional, personal, ar.d political. wnat, tnen, becomes 01 tne denunciation of protection as a "fraud" and a TODoery v t,i v.- .t.., : not the Democrats abolished it at " " ""y i once, and why are thev preparing to 1 continue it in some favored instances, tuat certain southern states may nave their nroducts ri rotor ted? What have the Democrats dene toward abolishing what they call a "robbery" sittuo the 4th of March, 1883? As to their promise of nuttlnff the finances of the country on a eound basis, the Democ-at wrangled for months over the si'.ver question, and only succeeded in settling that, not withstanding their overwhelming majority, through the patriotism of the Republican minority. The Treasury is almost empty, but the Democrats cannot agree on a bond issue. Instead of carrying out the pledge of a firm yet conservative foreign policy, the administration hai covered it; elf with ignominy In the Hawaian Question, has practically attempted to restore a fallen monarchy by force, and has met with the unqualified and unmistakable rebuke of the peop'o. These, then, are a few things which the Demco ats promised to do and have not done. Let us turn to their per formances, and not their promises. Here the list is long. In one year the Democrats have re pealed the federal election law, thereby putting a premium on ballot-b.ix stuf fing and false and fraudulent election returns. In one year they have, throuah their free-trade panic, thrown the Heading, the Erie, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Santa Fo and sixtynine other railway syttems into the nanus or receiver 1. In one ra-r thnv hava fnrnH .WH banks to close their doors. In o.:e year they have caused 800 manufactories t shut down. In one year they have forced lo,183 mercantile houses into bankruptcy. In one year they hive thrown over a million workingmen into idleness, beggary and crime. This, then, is the record of the Dem ocratic party, the party of "reform." since March 4, 1893, This is their record of d saster for one of their four years, what will they do in the re maining three? Hard on the Farmers. The fact that English and Scotch po tatoes can be landed here and sold at 1.G6 pe.- sack of 1 8 pounds, even un der tne McKlnley tariff of 25 cents per bushel, will show our farmers what they are to expect when the rate is reduced to 10 cents for bushel by the Wilson tariff. It is .estimated that three-eighths cf our supply now cc -.es from abroad, and that the English farmer sets not more than 25 cents for a sack of 168 pounds. We are now pay ing over ow,i,uu per year tor foreign potatoes, which money goes to foreign farmers, transportation comnanies. and laborers, but if the duty 1 hould be reduced 15 cents per bushel, it is estimated that our tribute to England lor potatoes would not be le s than f.f 0V IXK, while our farmer w mid be fairly driven out of the potato business. The loss of freight to our railrcads would bj immense, and the gain to the poor wcrkingman would be ver y small. For if our farmers are forced to abandon raising potatoes, the 1 n?lish will meet with no competition, and they will take advantage of the I act to raise the price. Thus under a 10-cent duty, potatoes will cost the consumer just as much as they now co t under a duty of 15 cents. If the Wilson bill becomes a law, ur farmers will have to be con tent to raise only so many potatoes as they can market in their immediate neighborhood before they feel the foreign competition. Springfield (Mass.) Union. The War on Pensioners, The veterans of the Union armies deprived of their pittances by Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Interior, through unjust and arbitrary interpretations of the pension laws, are not likely to derive consolation from the fact that the millions of dollars with held from them will indirectly go to oeneni nniisn manuiaturers ana im 1. ! porters. It is openly stated at Wash . 1 ington that one motive for withholding from "those who had borne the battle and their widows and orphans" the provision promised to them in behalf of the nation by Abraham Lincoln is to help the ex-Confeaerate in Confederates in Congress to cut down duties as much a? possible in the Wilson bill. Thus the Congressmen from backwoods and bayous are able to pay a double debt of gratitude and re venge gratitude to the British for as ulutvnnal-. trains tstrioatw,,, th. TTnlnn and revemre on the Union soldiers who prevented the Union from being deitroyed. The Wilson Din goes in har ness with Hoke Smith's management the pension office, and both are equally hostile to fie North, which is punished on the one nana lor being oyai ana on tne otner ior oeing in dustrious. There may be Union veterans who voted for Grover Cleveland in 1892, d who realty believed that the leopard could change its spots and the uem-cracy do irienaiy to tne soiaier. By this time such veterans have come to a wiser understanding of triumphant democracy. rtew 1 orK tress. A Law Unto Hlmseir.

While en route to tho Pacific coast exPresident Harri-ron was called upoh number of times to address the people On the issues of the day. Although out of public life( Mr; Harrison still takes grettt interest in political affairs and is now, as diirjntf his terni of ollice and before fully in touch with all the questions that are interesting the people. He is still the same incompa' ab'.e offhand speaker, instructing his auditors and holding them engaged to the end. During the course of a brief taiK at Kansas uity be saw: I have not seen any reason to abate one jot of the confidence with which I hold the principles that I endeavored to put Into practice daring the four years I was In trusted with nubile office. I do not think lust now. that those nrlnclnles murtB need the toasue of an advocate- Experience is hlaklnz an ar.ument In support of the American tolicy, and experience is the most forcible speaker I know of.

At varv ous points in Colorado he was called out to speak and everywhere responded in nis own leiicitoits style; The tflrhe for Free Seed. It will be reihembeced that in his last message to Congress, President Cleveland gave exbressidn to radical sentiments upon t ie seed question. ! "Under the san tion of existing legis 1 lation," he said, "there was sent out from the Agricultural Department dur ing the la3t fiscal year enough of cab bage sjed to plant 19,200 acres of land, a sufficient quantity of beans to plant 4,000 acres, beet seed enough to p'ant 2,500 acres, sweet corn enough for 7,tO0 acrev ana so on, ending in this InterBiting culmination: "the total quantity of flower and vegetable seeds thus distributed wbb contained in more than nine million packages, and they were sufficie it, if planted, to cover' 89,583 acres 01 lanoy in view 01 tnoso ngures, the Pre ident asked Con press to ston. or at least to abridge, its achievement s itt seed disti ib.ition. The matter is important just now because this is the tea-ion for the sending out of the packages. The Wash ington Mews says many congressmen are nara at worn, ana, 01 course, these are busy times in the Agricultural De partment. Each member of Congress, whether he be senator or representative, is entitled to 20,000 packages. The seeds this year are intended for ex perimental purposes, ana those who re' ceive them are expected to send reports on the results. It is not likely that tho larmer win get mucn out 01 tho w nson bill, and if he is wise he will hurry in nis oraer ior a snare 01 tne tree seeds. Reed to the Farmers. One other thing I have noticed in this debate. When the gentleman trom Jrtansat (Mr. tei.npson get a little money ahead, he does not put it into siocks in tnese immensely profitable manufactures. He has too much sense. He adds to his farm and he has told us so. Example is richer than precept. If the hope of agriculturists 13 in English free trade, they had better ponder on the fact that while the wages of artisans have increased in England $2.43 per week f-ince 1850, the wages of agricultural laborers have only increased 72 cents, and while the Lancashire operatives in the factories live as well as anybody except Americans, the agricultural laborers are hardly better off than the contir.ental peasantry. England's example will not do for agriculture. Thos. B. Keed. Dollar Wheat No More. The outlook for high-priced wheat is not good. Dollar wheat will be spoken of as beltnging to tho traditional "good old times." The foreign markot which cur good Demi cratic friends are going to secure for the farmers will never pay 91 for wheat unless there is a short crop. The foreigners are industriously looking for wheat to compete with American wheat to keep prices down. Eu sia, India and South America are formidable rivals. The Argentine Republic exported 1?,X)0 -000 bushels in 189:, 3H, 000,000 bushels in 18i'3 and is estimated to have an exportable surplus of ov-r ("0,000,000 this year. It is not so gtod as American wheat, bat it will mix and can be t old 5 or 0 cents a bushel los-s, even at the present low prices. The home market is still a more promising field than all the rest of the world. Terre Haute Express. The Miami BID. The House pas. ;ed the Bland silver bill which provides for the coinage of the seigniorage. The toigniorago is the bullion hold in the treasury to guarantee the value of the previously issued silver certificates. To coin that bullion now is equivalent to disposing of a collateral held to secure an obligation. As ex-Congressman Hewitt has aptly termed it, it is a proposition to coin a vacuum. But the Democrat have never cared very much for a financial policy. If they have a policy at all it is much like tl a of the old farmer who, when dying, gave a bit of parting advice to his son: "Get money, my son: get it honestly if thee can, but get money," Dolgeville Herald.

Telling the Wronjf Story. They were celebrating their silver wedding, and, of course, the couple were very happy and affectionate. "Yes," said the husband, -this is the. only woman I ever loved, and 1 shall never forgot the drat time I proposed to her." "How did you do it?" burst out a young man who had been s luco.lnga prottr girl's hand In a eoruer. . They all laughed and be blushed, but the girl carried it off bravely. "Well. I remember as well as if it Were but yesterday. It was at RieH; mond We. had been out for a picnic, and she and 1 got wandering alone. l on't you remember, my doar, and what a lovely day it was?" The wife smiled. "We sat on the trunk of a tree. You haven't forgotten, love, hava you?" The wife smiled again. 'Shu began writing in the dust with the point of her parasol. You recall it, sweet?" Tho wife nodded. "She wrote her name, 'Mary,' and I asked her to let me put the other name to It And I took the, parasol and wrote my name, 'Smith,' below it And she took back the parasol and wrote below it, 'no I won't.1 Then we went home. You remember it, darling? Ah, I seo you do." Then he kissed her, and the com' pany murmured, "Wasn't it pretty.1' The guests had all departed, and the happy ccuple wore left alone. 'Wasn't t n ce, Mary, to sec all our friends around us so happy?" 'Yes, it was. Buti John, that reminiscence of yours!" "Ah, it seems as if it bad been only yesterday, Mary." " . cs, dear; there are only three th'ngs you're wrung about in that

story." Wrong? Oh, no." "John. I'm sorry you told that story, because I never Went to a pic nic with you before we Were married; I was never in Richmond in my lire; and never refused you." "M darling, jou must be wrong; 1 havj a good memory." "I am not wrong, Mr. Smith, and my memory is as good as yours; and although we have been married twenty-five .ears I'd like to know who that minx was. You never told me about her lefore"' The husband answered nothing, and his silver wedding d smile was a thing ot the past. AN AUBURN MIRACLE. AN ACT OF HEROISM IS FOLLOWED DY DIRE RESULTS. Edward Donnelly Saves a Life Almost at the Cost of His Own -After Years of Suffering He Is Restored to Health His Story at Told to a Reporter of the Auburn Bulletin. Auburn (X. Y.) Bulletin. It Is on record that upon a chiily April day, a few years ago, an eight-year-old boy foil into the East River at thof'.otof East Eighth street, New Yo:-k, and when a'l efforts to rescue him had failod, Edward Donnelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into the water and, when himself nearly ex hausted, saveo tne oov lrom drowning. It was a humane and Felf-saeriticing dood, and received deserved commendation in all the newspapers. 1 hero is a sequel to this accident. however, which thus far has not been published. It is to the effect that Don nelly was paralyzed cs n re ult of the cold" plunge and came near dying. Auburn people have known the family since bis wife was Amanda Grantman and his sister Mrs. S. D. Corry, of 21 Moravia street. Donnelly himself de scribes the rescue aid the result: "I was general f oreman of the P. A. Mulgrew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, New York, on the East River. It was n the 2t th of April, 1889, that the boy leu into tne river, ana 1 res cued him from drowning. At that time I was in the water so long that I was takon with a deathly chill, and soon became so stiffened up and weak that I could neither work nor walk. For some time I was under treatment of Dr. George McDonald, who said I nad Locomotor Ataxia. He finally gave me up, and on the 1st of June, 1692, my wife and I came up to Auburn. When the disease hrst came upon me the numbness began in my heels, and soon tne wnoie oi Doth my feet be came affected. There was a cold feeling across the small of my back acid downward, and a sense of soreness and tight pressure on the chest. The numbness gradually extended up both legs and into the lower part of my body. I felt that death was creeping up to my vitals. I was still taking the medicine ('It was Iodide of Potassium,' said his wife1, and was bjing rubbsd and having plasters put all over my body, but with no benefit. l sent to tne tJhas. h. t-asrar com pany, the popular Auburn druggists and chemists, at 101) and 111 Genesee street, and got three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. and began taking them. In throe weeks' timo 1 was so improved that from being helpless, 1 was able to help myself and to get up and go to work, and to walk every day from No. 74 Walnut street, where I then lived, to Osborne's New Twine Factory, Seymour and Ct t'.ago streets more than a mile where I was then employed, but all the while I was taking Pink Pills. Then Dr. 1'atchen, of Wisconsin. uncle of ray wife, and who was here on a visit, began to poo-hoo at me for taking Pink Pills, and finally persuudod me to stop taking them and let him treat me. Whon he returned to the West he loft a prescription with Dr. Hyatt, of Auburn, who ulso treat :d me. Hut their treatment did me no good, and after a whi'e the old trouble returned and I was getting bad aerain. Then I began to take Dr. Williams' Plnlr lHla i 1 ali.ni t ... ... a.,an0tnnA am taking them now; have takon in all nearly 20 boxes at an entire cost of less than $10.00 imy other treatment cost me a pile of money', and again I am well and able to work.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., Knew the Apple. A man of about 00 years of age went into a store on Main street Wednesday afternoon and stood by the stove warming himself and listening to the conversation of tho men present. Happening to glance at a barrel of apples by the counter, ho took up one and bit it. Ho stoppod. looked at tho apple, and then stoppod reflectively. After taking another taste of tho tipple, he bi'oke out: l-Sav, I'd almost be willing to bet a aollar that I can toll where this apple grew. There is only One tree on earth that has the flavor that apple has, and it grew back of tho hou e where I first lived when I was married, and set up for myself. Say, now. didn't that apple grow in Bowdoinham? I know full well it did." The clerk told him that a man from that town brought them in, and the stranger said: "I have not been down there for ten years, yes, fifteen, but 1 remember this bittersweet apple tree, and t he apples here taste as they did twenty years ago."

"Let me see," she began, after taking down the day of the ' -subject's" birth, "you are in Aries. Aries is intellect. Why, no'." she suddenly exclaimed, looking up, as the full force of the definition struck her, "there must be some mistake. You can't be in Aries!" Another innocently frank person was admiring the baby grandson of a famous man. "Now," said she, encouragingly, to the parents of the child, "tint boy will bo a gonius. It Is perfectly safe to expect it, for you know genius always skips one generation!" i he Peaceful Sparrows. My own observations do not tend to an indorsement of the theory that sparrows are quarrelsome, says the writer in Land and Water. The socalled fights are simply affairs of gallantry, commenced by a cock sparrow with half-spread wings and rigid figure, bopping excitedly round a hen who pretends to pick at him. His cries animate every cock within hearing, and all join in the scene with the same noise and gestures. The hen naturally attempts to escape from so embarrassing a situation, but is persistently pursued until it is thought she has been badgered enough. The assistants then sneak off one by one, leaving the end of the affray in precisely the same state as when it commenced, and which finally terminates by each one of the pair going its own road. Preserving- His Youth. Judge Jeremiah Black for a long time wore a black wig. On one oe casion. having donned a new one. he met Senator Bayard, who thus accosted him: "Why, Black, how young you look!

The Emperor of Russia had up to a short time ago a double in the person of a banker of the name of Carlesben in Copenhagen. Carlesben was introduced some time ago to the Czar, who himself remarked" the extraordinary likeness.

The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. Tho suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would hare entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms and instituting comfort instead ot prolonged misery.

I did not get any better under that treatment to I thought I would try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and his ' Golden Medical Discovery I f(Jt better before I used one bottle of each.
