Say, Mr. Democrat, where are
those bonds you said Mr. McKin
ley would be compelled to issue
before 1897 was gone?
The things which the Dem
ocratic papers are not saying
about the revenues of the gov
ernment just' now are quite
noticeable.
One bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush. So cash in

Mr. Bryan's love for the Pops
and silver Republicans is really
most affecting. He says he pre
fers to win "with the Populists on
the one side jind the free silver
Republicans on the other.' 1 From
present indications it would seem
that he will haveto get nominated
by the Pops or not get nominated
at all.
. After the miserable failure of
the Democrats in a fair trial for
four years it looks reasonable that
they would shut up for a while
and-give their successors an opportunity-
to demonstrate What
they can do. , But who ever heard
of a ITembc rat shutting up?
December's receipts of the Trea
sury show the first surplus in
several years. . The question now
is not whether the Dingley Tariff
will pay the running expenses of
the government but whether it will
be able in four years to produce a
surplus as big as the Wilson bill's
deficit, and pay off the bonds issu
ed, during a Democratic adminis
tration. -
During 1897 there were
one hundred and sixty six per-
sons lynched in the United
States. Of thisnfumber 22 were
women. Of the total number.
122 were negroes, 39, whites and
5 Indians. Texas had only 75
lynching bees last year.
The New York Journal, which
has just repudiated Wmr J Bry
an and 16 to 1, notwithstanding
its advocacy of both a year ago,
is now busy pushing Mayor
Van Wyck, of New York, for the
Democratic nomination for
President in 1900. -
No defict for December. It is
no wonder the old year died.
The shock was too great, and the
vitality of the old year, too near
spent. Besides not to have a reg
ular monthly deficit was" so out of
time with the example set by the
Cleveland administration it was
enough to kill most anything less
robust than the Dingley bill. Ex

One difference between the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties is
that the Republican party when
ever it has been in power has al
ways been a debt-paying party,
while the Democratic party even
in the time of. peace, has always
been a debt-making- party. An
other difference is, they are not
alike at all.
Failures during, 1897, accord-.
ing to "Dun's Review' were
in bankiug $25,800,000 ; in
manufacture $69,000,000 in tra-
ding $75 ,700, 000. The failures :
fall far below any other year
since 1892,and in average liabil
ities of firms failing are lower
than in any other, year of the
last twenty-three, except 1892.
And all this took place under
a system that the Democratic
orators swore would .result ; in
nothing but ruin, and stagnation.
