On the thirtieth day of last June the United States treasury reported a deficit of twenty.four million dollars. This deficit is reported under a protective tariff, that is nearly prohibitive. It is reported under an administration of that grand old party whose appeal to the people has been upon the ground of their superior knowledge of high finance. It is reported during a time of peace, plenty and prosper : ity, whos? guardianship they cham ■ pioned, and for which they assumed full credit. At present writing the experts of this glorious administration have figured a deficit of thirty million dollars—or it may * be more—which they will carefully * wrap up as a prize package for ’ their constituents on the thirtieth' of next June. Even now the sec retary of the treasury and many others of influence in governmental ’ affairs, are suggesting war taxes as a means of cutting down this deficit. All this is suggestive I In the first place it suggests that | there must be something rottenly wrong with a protective tariff system that builds up the fortunes of private investment and at the same I time produces deficits for the gov I ernment. h suggests that the g | O. p. have no exclusive patent on means and methods of govern I mental finance. It suggests and brings to mind a similar situation of g. o. p. management, when in 1803 they turned over the affairs of state with a deficit and the plates made for a bond issue It suggests that the people have paid dearly for the time spent under this magnetic spell, and that a change in party

and policy are the only means of relief. It should suggest to the working force of the democratic party many things, chief among which, is that it is not ton early to talk of Issues for 1908, That they may become as radical as they plea-e upon tariff only for revenue, and that protection of the trusts is a ran invasion of the rights of the individual. There are many things they can do and many things they can say now and here, and that to await any national declaration is to give away half the thunder. It also stulides individual inde|»en dence, the backbme of the demoo. racy of our fathers. The editor should dip his pen in red ink and write the truth until it burns into the minds aud hearts of his countrymen. And after it thoroughly s ags, the average politician will know more of the issues of his l>arty, even three years hence. YOUTHFUL GRAFTERS Sixteen Year Old Boys Work Old Scheme at Crainville. Two boys, neither over sixteen years of age, who have been with the carnival company in this city* for the past week, went to Craigville last evening in search of some ready coin, and according to all reports they found it. While the boys are still of tender age, they are smooth grafters and the leaders in the business put up a line of talk last night that would do credit to an old time street fakir. Arriving m Uraig ville they proceeded to give a free exhibition of tire eating, slight of hand and revolver shooting. Then the pastmaster of the grafting game opened up his stock and proceeded to sell cheap jewelry. He worked the old dodge of refunding the money on the ten and i twenty-five cent purchases but when he ojiened up with his fifty cent game, he neglected to refund and the purchasers of the fifty cent articles are out about forty-nine cents each Some of the Craigville youngsters yelled eggs but the youthful grafters were not alarmed and drove out of town with their coin.—Bluffton Banner.
