ELECTRIC BITTERS.
The publication of “Our Plea” will be resumed at an early day. Sickness of the writer has caused the absence of the article in our last issues.
It has been charged that Tom Watson had abandoned the People's party, and gone back to the Democratic party. This is a sweet morsel for Republicans to chew, and Democrats themselves are tolerably fond of it, so neither of them care to make an effort to find out the truth. If they will just glance over a copy of his paper, the People’s Party Paper, of Atlanta, Ga., they will find that instead of his being a Democrat, he is hitting the pretended Democratic party of to-day some of the hardest knocks of any man living, and no utterance of his has indicated that he has any faith whatever in the style of Democracy prevalent to-day.—Union Dispatch.
The complaints of the taxpayers are again heard in the land. Angry men can be seen every day stamping the curb stones of our county tax house, swearing their taxes are higher than they were even last year. Gentlemen. you do not look at this subject in the proper light. Aou should be proud of your county, for she stands near the head of the list of the high taxed counties of the state. We should all be proud of this honor, all be willing to labor, not only to hold this exalted position. but if possible to advance a little higher in the list. If “a national debt is a national blessing, ’ if “a mortgage is the sign of thrift and prosperity.” then are high taxes an evidence of good county government.
At one lime Senator Voqrhees was one of the ablest champions of the People's rights on the silver question. ’out the election of Cleveland in 1884 and his positive stand against any increased use of silver, wrought a marked change in his actions if not in his thoughts and conversation, heretofore published in this journal, throws a vast amount of light upon Senator Voorhees’ attitude on the silver question, which is of especial value just now, as indicating what may be expected of him under similar circumstances. When Cleveland, upon his first election, sent
his pre-inaugural address to congress in February, 1885, asking congress to suspend the further coinage of silver under the Bland-Allison law, a leading Democrat of Indiana called on the senate? in relation to the matter. He pointed out to the senator that the president-elect jpas trampling upon the traditkmal policy of the Democratic paijhj' which had always been a silver party, and gave the senator to understand that such a departure frpm the party faith must be antagonized, and that Senator Voorhees was expected to head the opposition, and closed his remarks by asking the senator what be was going to do about it. The senator answered by saying “what can I do about it? Here are men who have Worked for me for years, expecting reward when we got into power, and now that we are in power if I antagonize Mr. Cleve» land I can get nothing for them, hence, I ask, what Can I do?”Hr. Voorhees being no statesman,'
a mere spoilsman, closed his mouth and went for the spoils for his henchmen. Exactly similar conditions prevail to-day. Cleveland has the spoils anc doesn’t propose to give them out until the demands of Wall stree' and the Jew-money power are complied with, or reasonable assurance given that they will be at the designated time. Dan and his henchmen are on hand
as usual, hungry and thirsty. Now what will Voorhees do? Ah! what did he do before? He became the obsequious and truckling spoilsman, and he will do so again. Ah, we believe he has already sold himself to the devil and Wall street, and we now offer our reasons why we think so: Ist. In the reconstruction of the senate committees, Voorhees was made chairman of the committee on finance, a chairmanship of commanding influence and one directly affecting Wall street influences. To control that man is a matter of the first importance with the money power -and Mr. Cleveand. Now can they doit? 2nd. Mr. Voorhees is no statesman, therefore his standing is of no concern to him. 3rd. He is not at all reliable in political maters, for last fall he pledged Mr. Cleveland to Indiana Democrats as a free coinage man when he must have known better. 4th. Mr. Voorhees is now landing more and bigger fish than any other senator. Lastly, Mr. Cleveland and his Wall street sackers would not be so lavish of favors to Daniel without reasonable assurance of the outcome. So we say to one and all, and especially to free coinage Democrats, “keep, your eyes on Senator Voorhees, for he is the most slippery eel found in all our political waters.”
