The contrast between the financial condition of the United States at the outbreak of the war in 1861 and at the opening of hostilities with Spain in 1898 is quite marked. The amount of available money in the Treasury in 1861 was only $6,000,000 was available, j On the day when Congress appropriated $50,000,000 for the national defense, there appeared to be in the Treasury a cash balance of $225,000,000. The Democrats in Congress, during the consideration of the

Dingley tariff law, contended that the passage of the bill would increase the price of all articles of common consumption. While we have had about one year of actual experience under the law, we find that articles of manufacture have really been reduced in price, while breadstuffs and the product of the field and farm have generally advanced, as the friends of the law contended at the time they would. The Chicago papers are glorying greatly, and also justly, in the part Illinois has taken in the Spanish war. In all 5,000 Illinois volunteers have gone to the front, to Cuba, Porto Rico or the Phillipines. This is a greater number than any other state has had sent to the front. This reminds us of how most unjustly anfl unfairly Indiana has been treated in this respect. Our state was among the first, and indeed was the very first, it is stated, to have regiments ready foi mustering. Only one or two other states, and Illinois was not - 1 " . one of them, has filled and overfilled its quota, more promptly than Indiana. No other state’s soldiers better deserved nor were more ready and anxious to be sent where the fighting was, yet not an Indiana regiment has been sent to the : ront. It was dead wrong, and the explanation given out by the war department, that Indiana was forgotten when making up the lists does not help matters any. Secretary Alger may forget Indiana, 3ut he can rest assured that Indiana is not likely to forget him.

The Democrats of Texas, according to thfeir platform just adopted clause 7, favor “the generous development of the American navy.” The development of the American navy is a matter of arge expenditure. It ought to cost at least from $20,000,000 to ! >50,000,000. annually for the next ;en years to place the American navy on a suitable footing to give character to the pretensions which the government is now making in the world’s affairs. At no time in be history of the Democratic party when they had control of x>th Houses of Congress, was .there ever money enough in sight in the shape of a surplus of revenues to build even one battleship, let alone to meet an appropriation of $20,000,000 to $50,000,000 annually. The Republican party, during the administration of Chester A. Arthur, laid the foundation of the American navy as it now exists, and by wise economy and frugality in national affairs, in the collection of the revenues, they forced the issue, until to-day we are one of the great naval powers of the world.
