They talk about the Democratic
party not being competent to admin
ister the affairs of this government!
Surclv. it does not lie in the mouth
of any Republican to say so. All the
world knows that during the four
years of Cleveland's first administra
tion the national tuupiccs were m
first-class condition, the only prob
lem in connection therewith being
what todo with the surplus. So great
had this become that Mr. Cleveland
in 1SS7 sent to Congress his famous
message demanding that the taxing'
laws of the country be changed so
that the money not needed by the
government should be left in the !
pockets of the people. The Treasury '
was bursting with the accumulated
I money, tor winch there was no leg'.t
I iinate use. and when Mr. Cleveland
'retired. March 4. ISSll. he left in the
i vaults more than tiiu.uuu.unn.
Turn to the history of four years
later and what do we tind? Mr.
Harrison is going out and Mr. Cleve
land coining hi again. The si'iU.uun.
Olil is all gone and the Treasury
bankrupt. There were claims against
it. due and undisputed, to the amount
of .s.'iil.uuu.liuu. and on the very day
that he retired from otlice Secretary
Foster declined to issue a draft for '
?2.UUU.UUU "m payment of an overdue
account, for the reason that there
was no money with which to pay it.
Three months before this time Secre
tary Foster, in the last report he
made to Congress, had told that body
that the Treasury was empty and
advised that bonds be issued and
sold iti order to replenish it.
Meantime the McKinley taritf bill
had been passed a bill which, while
largely increasing the burdens ,,f if,,,
people was yielding a constantly di
minishing revenue. Meantime, also,
the billion dollar Congress had mul
tiplied oltices and increased the fixed
charges of the government to the
amount of jC0.iM)(.0ui to s-7.").UH0.uU()
per year, leaving this permanent
annual increase iu expenditures to i
be provided for by subsequent Con
gresses. This was the financial situation
which confronted the Democratic
party when it returned to power
Marah 4. 1 ,-!:. The first thing it
did was to stop spending money for
silver to lie stored away and not
used to repeal the silver purchase
law, another inheritance from a lie
publican Congress. Next it ad
dressed itself to the reduction of ex
penses and cut of s2s.uuil.iinu. and
last it passed a by no means perfect
taritf bill but one which will save 2."
cents on the dollar to the people in
their store purchases and at the same
time bring to the government enough
revenue to support it.
Omitting details this is the record
and the facts herein stated are be
yond contradiction. We submit them
to the people and upon them ask
judgment as to which of the parties
is the more capable of administering
the government. Many Democrats
may not like, do not like, many things
their President and Congress have
; done: do not like it because thev
iave not done other things that thev
think should have been done; but
while Democrats niav. if thev will.
critiei-e Cleveland and Congress, no
Republican who undertakes to defend
his own party can, with any sort of
consistency, pass criticism upon the
Demociaev.

is going to look at me nohow, for
there are to be ten beautiful brides- !
maids and as many groomsmen, and
a church full of witnesses and the
wedding march is to be played, and
I could just drop out of it and never
be missed. But I did buy my wife a
siik wedding dress and she is as
proud as she was at sweet sixteen,
when she stood up by me with her
Augusta clothes on. She didn't have
but one bridesmaid, either, and there
wasn't much fuss made over it.
There were no presents at all. but
a few days after we went to house
keeping seven likely darkeys came
tramping up to the house -and sat
down on the front steps until I came
from the store. My pretty young
wife was sitting at the window pre
tending 1o sew. She had. a mischiev
ous smile on h'-r face as I stopped in
front of the smiling darkies. "What
are you all doing here." said I.
"What have you come after, Tip--you
and Mary and all?" And Tip
said: "Old master sont us up here

honeymoon is the first month after
marriage, and it closes about the

The wedding: the marriage, the
nuptials is the biggest thing in a
man's life, especially a woman's. It
is bigger than being born or dying.
We look back and wonder at the
eagernes with which we too- the j
risk, the peril of happiness or mis-
cry. The very word wedding means J
a bet, a wager, a chance. Nuptials !
means a veil, a covering. though a
man couUlent see what Kind ot a wan

a yoke, and the law tells of the
chains of matrimony. Nevertheless,
the young folks, make the leap as

young, look on with smiles and con
gratulations. There is no weeping
or wailing. That comes later, if it

New York, Oct. 1, lSt4.
Business conditions during the
past week have not greatly changed.
Most of the trade reports show that
there has leen gradual and healthful
improvement in business throughout
the month. It has been slower in
some lines than in others, but it has
been Wry general. The resumption
of industrial output that has been
encouraged by the brighter trade
prospect has been fo rapid that even
the renewal of a normal demand has
not strengthened prices, except in a
few departments. Hut 'the volume
of business has lcen steadily en
larging', as shown by increased pay
ments through banks, and by com
parisons of railroad earnings for
freight transportation as distinguish
ed from passenger receipts, which
were unusually large a year ago on
account of the heavy travel to and
from the World's Fair. Current re
ports indicate a moderate slackening
of new demand for textile fabrics,
which is a usual feature of the fall
season pending the absorption by
consumers of the first purchases of
retailers.
The distribution on account of back
orders is large, however, and a
steady improvement in retail trade
foreshadows an early renewal of or

A Story With a Moral.
Cllill t ttO Ot -lTVlT.
Mr. J. G. Warll. k. .f the Racket,
is back from a trip in Lincoln coun
ty. His attention was called one
day to a man going by w ith a bale of
cotton. - You see that cotton? "said
a by stander. "We!!, that man was
working with a Third party man.
The Third party man was always
going to meetings. That man you
see going by told him that he was
going to take an acre of cotton and
only work it during the time the
Third party man was at meetings.
He did so. and is in a bale of cotton.
The Third party man could have had
not one but several bales had he
stayed at home and attended to his
business."

its treasury to meet its current ex
penses. t the humiliating condition
of having to create "a debt, while it
has heretofore been the pride of Dem

didn't owe a dollar.
