RECORD_OF THE DEMOCRACY.

Splendid Work in the States Where the Party Was in Power.

In every state where democratic state officers are superseded by republicans the retiring administrations go out in honor, leaving clean records and no charges of financial dishonesty behind them. §

In states like Illinois and Indiana, where democratic state officers are in the middle of their respective terms, they have presented to the incoming republican legislatures creditable exhibits of the conditions of state affairs.

It has been the policy of the republican press to calumniate and traduce, without reason or measure, every democratic administration and every democrat in office. They could produce no charge of misconduct nor of dishonesty founded in truth. S !

Their sole object was to break down; by the might of falsehoofl, abuse and slander, every public officer not of their partisan faith, distributing the spoils to them and their adherents. The campaign of accusation without proof and of denunciation without cause has been monstrous in its injustice and indecency. : : There is not a report of a defalcation nor of any act of maladministration in any state that elected democrats to office in 1890 and 1892. The financial affairs of the democratic states never were conducted so well under repubJdican rule. s

The ‘national administration, maligned beyond all precedent and all rules of decency, has redeemed in great part the pledges in the platform of 1892. The force act,’the McKinley tariff act and the Sherman silver act were repealed. o

A new tariff was framed, far from perfect in many of its features/ but vastly better than its predecessor. Its imperfections were forced on congress by a republican-populist-democratic-protectionist combine more pernicious than any coalition ever before formed to pervert legislation in congress. The panic, the currency demoralization and the indications of a gold famine come from vicious and corrupt republican silver and currency legislation which began in 1893 to produce its disastrous fruits. : + These facts show that the democratic party is not—as Reed and other partisans have charged—destitute of capacity to administer national and state affairs with wisdom and success.

The democrats in congress have not been able to agree with the president on a satisfactory currency measure. This is not so much evidence that they lack wisdom for the purpose as that the condition of affairs, originating in republican mismanagement, is desperate beyond ordinary means of redemption. The disease, of republican inception and growth, reqtiires a remedy of unprecedented powerand efficacy. That is the cause of democratic failure to provide a cure—not democratic weakness and incompetency. ® : When the record shall be made up for history, the verdict will be that the democratic party, while holding power in the states and nation, exercised it well in the interest of taxpayers for the enactment of judicious laws and te conserve the financial interests of the country.—Chicago Herald. :

: THE TAX ON INCOMES. . What the Republicans Would Offer as a Substitute. s While the republicans generally insist that the real trouble with the treasury is a deficiency of reveniie, many of their senators and a few democrats are joining in an effort to reduce the revenue still further. by preventing the collection of the income tax. Senator Hill suggested the other day that the president would sign a bill for the repeal of the law, and there is' no doubt that such action is expected before long. It is quite evident that a bill to repeal the income tax cannot pass the present congress. What may be its prospects in the next congress we cannot say. Most of the leading republicans would like to see it repealed, but it is not certain that a great many ‘of thém- would care to go on record in favor of so popular a tax. But let us suppose that they were able to get through a bill for that purpose, how would they justify themselves for taking thirty millions from the revenue of the fiscal year when they say that the excess of expenditure over revenue is causing all the trouble? - i It is known that Mr. Cleveland is not favorable to the income tax. But he is in favor of the raising of sufficient revenue to support the government, and it is not likely that he would consent to surrender thirty millions a year without knowing by what means the deficit thus caunsed was to be made up. A bill te supply the needed revenue would be a condition precedent to the presidential approval of an act to repeal the tax on incomes. A proposition to reemact the McKinley bill, which Mr. Quay has already made, would not be entertained by the president. Besides, the republicans are under the most solemn pledges that the Fifty-fourth congress shall not “tinker with the tariff.” That was almost the sole ground upon which they sought and obtained a majority in the house. : e

There is the proposition to double the tax on beer, to which some of the enemies of the income tax have referred as a possible substitute for it. It does not appear to have occurred to any of these gentry that, whatever may be the abstract merits of the proposition, they cannot consistently support it. They say that a tax on incomes is robbery. But they also say that an additional dollar a barrel on beer would yield thirty million dollars in revenue without costing the consumer a cent. They argue that it would add so little to the cost of a glass of beer that the retail price could not be raised nor could the size of the glass be diminished. Whence then would the thirty million dollars of revenue ‘be derived? Evidently from the incomes of the brewers and dealers in beer. There is no escape from this eonclusion if these premises are sound. They are, therefore, by their own admission simply trying to substitute one form of income tax for another.—Louisville Cour-ier-Journal. - i ——Anotlier great republican protective tariff victory is announced at Carnegie's works at Homestead, Pa., where eighty men, who made bold to attend a labor union meeting, have been dismissed from their employment. —Chicago Herald.

SENT A WARSHIP. : The Philadelphia Sails for Honolulu—- - President Cleveland’s Statement. ’ SAX FrANclsco, Jan. 21.—The United States cruiser Philadelphia sailed hence for Honolulu at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The steamer’Australia, ‘which sails this morning for Honolulu, will carrysas part of her cargo 2,000 stands of arms and about 75,000 rounds of ammunition for the Hawaiian government. ; :

WASHINGTON, Jan. ®2l.—Secretaries Gresham and Herbert cailed on the president at the white house at 10 o’clock Saturday morning in regard to the Hawaiian complications At 2:25 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Secretary Gresham, after another conference with the president, returned to the state départment and made the following announcement: : *‘As a proper precaution, though our dispatches from Minister Willis would indicate that the trouble is over, the presijdent has ordered the Philadelphia, now at San Francisco, to go at once to° Honolulu.” :

- WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. — Presidént Cleveland made the following statement Sunday evening, with respect of the Hawaiian . question, which, he seemed entirely willing to discuss:

*No information has been received which indicates that anything will happen in Hawail making the presence of one of our naval vessels necessary, unless we are prepared to enter upon a policy and iourse of conduct violative of every rule of international law and ntterly unjustifiable. All who take any interest in the question should keep in view the fact that Hawaii is entirely’ independent of us, and that in its relations to us it is a foreign country. | 4

*A ship has been sent to Honolulu, not because there has been any change in the policy of the administration and not because there seems 'to be any imminent necessity for its presence there. The vessel has been sent in precise accordance with the policy of the administration in every “case of the kind and from mpotives of extreme caution, and because there is a possibility that disturbances may be renewed which might result in danger to the persons or property of American citizens entitled to the protection of the United States. This course was at once determined upon as soon as information reached the government of the recent revolt. et

**So far from having the slightest objection to making public the instructions, which were given to the commander of the Philadelphia and the dispatch he will carry to Mr. Willis, our minister in Hawaii, I am glad to put them before my fellow citizens.’”

The president’s instructions to Minister Willis are a notice that it has been deemied adyisable to send a. warship to Honolulu for the protection of American citizens and property, should a contingency arise. The minister isinstructed fo confer with the commanding officer on her arrival as to the assistance which . his instructions: contemplate in case of need. In’ his instructions to the commander of the Philadelphia Secretary Herbert orders hiin to proceed at once to Honolulu, and says: . j : *“Your. purpose as the United States senior naval officer there will be the protection of the ‘lives and property of American citizens. In case of civil war in the islands extend no aid or | support, moral or physical, to any of the parties engaged therein, but keep steadily in view your duty to protect the lives and property of all guch citizens of the United States as shall nﬁ.,b'y. their participation in such civil commotions, forfeit their rights in that regard to the protection of the American flag. An 'American citizen, who, ' during a reVo;ution in ‘ a foreign country participates in” any attempt by force of arms or violence, to maintain or overthrow the existing -government, cannot claim that the government of the United States shall protect him against the consequence of such act. ‘Show these instructions to, and consult freely with the United States minister at Honolulu upon all points that may arise, seeking his opinion and advice whenever practicable upon the actual employment of the forces under your command, bearing in mind that the diplomatic and political interests of the United States are in his charge. Afford him’such aid in all emergencies as may be necessary."’ M

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE.

Militia Charge Riotous Crowds—Several 5 Receive Bayonet Thrusts. NEwW YORE, Jan. 21.—Three men were

bayoneted at the junction of Broadway, Alabama and Fulton avenues in the Twenty-sixth ward Saturday night by members of the Thirteenth regiment, on.guard there., One of the injured, is in a serious condition in = St. Mary’s hospital. The other two were not badly wounded. They were taken away by friends. Several other men were slightly injured by the troops. Many militiamen were hurt by flying missiles and one. is reported as having had his skull fractured. ® e Mayor Schieren held conferences with the strike leaders and the railroad officials, and made strenuous efforts to bring about a cessation of hostilities pending. arbitration, but failed. The strikers were willing to return to work pending arbitration providing the com panies would restore to ‘the payrolls all men in thein employ on July 12 until the arbitration committee should decide @who | should remain in the service |of the companies and on what terms. They made no condition requiring the discharge of the men employed to fill their places.. The proposition was rejected by the! company officials on the ground that they had sufficient men to operate their lines if afforded ample protection After the failure: of his attempted arbitration the mayor decided that -the situation was decidedly more grave in its character, and{ at the conclusion of a conference with Gen. McLeer made a request on the governor for ‘more troops. He also issued a proclamation requiring all persons within the limits of the city to refrain from unnecessary assembling in the streets .or public places during the present disturbed condition, and until quiet has been restored notice is given that the police and militia have been ordered to disperse any unlawful assemblage.

The United States department of agriculture says Salzer’s oats is the best of 300. varieties tested. A great many farmers report a test yield of 200 bushels per acre last year, and are sure this can be grown and even more during 1895. Another farmer writes us he .cropped 112 bushels of Salzer’s Marvel Spring wheat on two and one-half acrés. At such yield wheat pays at 30c per bu. One thing we know and that is that Salzer is the largest Farm Seed grower in the world and sells potatoes at $2.50 per gba.rrel.’ IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND IT with 10¢ postage to the J. o%‘n A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, ' Wis., you get free his mammoth catalogue and a package of above $3OO PRIZE OATS. [x]
