protection can'be carried too far. What can we say of these men who have labored so hard to deceive us? Frtim this may we not be led to think that other great questions are being mystified and falsified before the people simply to mislead them, simply to rob them?
The liepublican gain in Jasper county over 1890 is 84. This may be charged to Republican members of the People’s party leaving the Democratic membership of that organization to hold the bag. In Newton county the Republican gain was 54. In White county the Republican gain was 24. In Benton county the Republican gain was but 2. Of the four counties, Jasper Democrats sustain the heaviest loss.—Democratic Sentinel. To sum the matter up, the increased Peoples' party vote in this county came about 230 from the Repbulieans, 100 from the Democrats, and 12 from th Prohibit ion ists. —Rensselaer Republican.
Will somebody please tell those poor simple souls “where they are at?” Gentlemen, we care not which one of you we have hurt the most. Here are a few* state figures we will give you to meditate upon. The increased vote on governor, in 1892 over 1888 is 12,668. Democrats loss in four years 407. Republican loss in four years 8,989. People's party gain 19,224. Prohibition gain in four years 2,840. These figures tell a painful story to the old parties. They tell that the two new parties are the only growing poltiical organizations in the state.
The cash in Uncle, Sam’s box, it is feared, will, the coming year, run short several millions. “It is a condition, not a theory that confronts us” and the plans to meet the difficulty are reductions of governmental expenses and an increase of national revenues. Some say cut off the sugar bounty and thereby save many millions. It is said, by some, that $50(1,000 could very properly be saved in the yearly appropriation made to state militias, and another $500,000, biennially appropriated to national supervisors of elections should be cut off and saved. A million a year is appropriated to agriculturial colleges, which is asked to be discontinued, besides the $2,000,000 annually appropriated to Indian schools could be greatly reduced, say some. By way of increase in revenues it is suggested that the tax on whisky could be raised 10 cents on the gallon and $lO,000,000 thereby be added to our national treasury. Another source of increased revenue spokbn of is an income tax. This is a form of taxation for which we calamity howlers are very clamorous. This is a tax that neither Democrat nor a Republican congress will eyer give us. Wise men are they who manage down at Washington: they will find some way out of this financial embarrassment, out it will not be by enacting an income tax law. It will not bo by exacting anything more from the classes, nor anything dess from the masses.
