HARD TIMES.
' Communicated.
This subject has been so generally dis-
. cussed that further reference to it seems
commonplace, yet the public interests
demand that it be agitated.
The democracy saya that the cause of
the present financial depression ia trace
able to bad laws made by the republi
cans and enforced by past republican
administrations. Largely, financial
troubles are not from political causes at
all, but in a great measure' they are.
,Every intelligent person knows that the
prosperity o this country depends upon
the prosperity of the tillers of the soil.
A great many people think that a scarc
ity of money is our only difficulty,
when in reality we have money enough,"
but we have a lack of confidence in a
wise administration of public affairs.
A bank cashier can abscond with stolen
' money no difference who is .president; a
' train robber can rob an express car no
difference who ia president. But let us
see if the agriculturist and mechanic
can do as well under democratic rule aa
under republican rule. This ia a gov
ernment of -the majority. . When the
. majority says democratic rule, we have
democratic rule, and vice versa. Let
us review the past a little for the
purpose of comparing democratic rule
with republican prosperity, and let the.
majority in the next election take their
choice. .
In 1S56 there waa a national election.
The money of that time waa democratic
money. State banks and . individual
.banking was the system.. Paper money
was issued by' whoever wanted to . issue
it, redeemable, of course, in gold and
silver upon demand if the holder of the
paper could find the bank or the banker.
In those days every Friday waa a black
, Friday. They had black Mondays, too,
and every other day of the week waB
black. 'The banks were all the time
breaking. That was a part of their busi
ness, and when a farmer would receive
. the money for a load of corn, say at 3 p.
m., before he could get to the bank it
would be closed, and the next morning
at 9 it would be broke. These were
democratic "good times" in the '50s.
I said there was a national election in
1856. ' Well, the democrats had been
ruling the government for a long time,
with but little intermission. Occasion
ally the iWhiga would get an administra
tion, which ' was worse, the Whig party
being a compromise between slavery
and aristocracy. In that campaign the
democrats said if they did not carry the
. election they would dissolve the union.
They said : "If you don't play our way,
we won't play," . '. .
I want to say before proceeding fur
ther that these things are not said in
sarcasm, nor to appear smart. I have
learned long ago that there is no argu
ment in abuse. But the truth is a two
edged sword, which will rip either up or
down, and whenever you cut into the
democratic anatomy, it makes no differ
ence which way you rip, it is puss in all
directions. -'
Well, in that election the democrats
were successful. The republicans re
tired from the contest defeated, and the
Union was not dissolved. In 1860 there
was another national election, with' vir
tually the same issues. The same threat
was made by the democracy, that if the
republicans won, the democrats would
dissolve the Union. The money that
waa paid to the producer or the laborer
all this time was worthless paper, gen-,
erally called "wild cat." There was no
security for it; its redeemer had not
been mined ont of the mountain yet,
and no adequate laws were made to pro-
tect the poor man who bad to receive
that money if he received any. In the
states where democracy had no opposi
tion the lash was a legal tender for
. labor, and out of their bounty they al
lowed the laborer corn meal to live upon,
and here is where the original demo-
. cratic idea of the protection of ' labor
came from. A paper dollar issued in
Dal ton, Georgia, was worth seventy
cents in Peoria, Illinois: a dollar in
' Iowa was worth forty cents in Missouri,
. when the money fell into the hands
of the poor man. I mention these
things because at this time the issue
is one of finance. The issue then was
one of greater importance, before which
the mere question of money and . finance
sinks into insignificance. It was of free
dom or slavery in the territories of Kan
sas and Nebraska. It was of liberty and
equal rights under the law a question
of the freedom of speech and of the
press. In that election the democrats
were divided, and the republicans
elected the immortal Lincoln by a con
stitutional minority. '
In the closing months of Buchanan's
office his secretary of -the treasury stole
the treasury empty," and the democrats
took the money to inaugurate the rebel
lion. The Pensacola navy yards were
seized by order of the democratic secre
tary of the navy and our war sbips sent
to the farthest corners of the arth.'
Now let us follow briefly some of the
doings of the republican party. ; The
president elect, you will remember ,- had
to go to the capitol in disguise to escape
assassination by the democrats, and was
finally' assassinated by a democrat near
the close of the war. With the govern
ment torn to pieces ; with subversions
everywhere, and turmoil and discord;
with . a foreign policy not much better
than Cleveland's foreign policy; with
our flag disrespected on the high seas ;
with a depleted treasury ; with the arms
and munitions of war turned over to the
revolting states ; with no national
credit, the republicans gathered up the
fragments and carried on a four-years
war with eleven revolted states and' re
stored the Union. They made the na
tion's credit good all over the world and
our flag respected wherever its folds
touched the breeze; they . freed four
million slaves and made them citizens ;
they passed the homestead law and
gave the public domain to the needy
American citizen ; they built the Union
Pacific railroad; joined" the oceans to
gether with iron bands; they opened
the gold and silver mines, and,made the
miserly ' mountains pour their - vast
wealth, in to the commerce of the world
and furnish money rj redeem the war
greenback and the war bonds ; ': they
raised the blue smoke from thousands of
factories; they protected the spindles
and the shuttles that clothe the Ameri
can people, and made American silk
upon an American lady as honorable as
Parisian silk ; they protected the fleece
unon the Bheep's back, and protected
the bare-footed shepherd boy that
watched them graze ; they protected the
W09I, the yarn, the cloth and the peo
ple that wear it ; they made the best
money and the most of it that has ever
been known in the history of- mankind
in the time.
What .waa ' the democracy doing all
thia time? Well, I will tell you:. In
1868,. 1S72, 1876 and 1880 they told us to
fetch in that grindstone if we did not
want it eaten up.. In 1884 -they said
they. wanted "a change." They wanted
an income tax for revenue only, and not
for protection of American labor or com
merce ; they wanted less money in the
treasury, and they wanted the surplus
absorbed. They have their wishes gratified-
now, but Still are not happy. The
democrats regarded prosperity as a
crime, aiaji today we are reaping the
fruits of 'a change" that the people
thought they wanted. You must re
member that the United States ,has
been suffering for many montba from
the results . which follow . democratic
rule. The democratic party, with an in
flated president and an unjlated treasury,
baa brought the people to the very verge
of ruin. The 'shadows of a semi-free-
trade policy are already cast upon
the entire business ' of the nation.
The viciousness of its provisions are.be
yond my power of"- description. The
whole spirit of the administration seems
to be to prevent the-doing of anything in
the United States, and to encourage and
help the businesa men of every other
nation. There is no reason for this, nor
no good sense or justice in it. . The flag
is just aa large as it ever was, the soil is
just as rich, the sunshine just as warm,
and the rains come in their season, corn
will glow just as good as it did when
Harrison was .president, cowa will give
the same quantity of milk under the
same treatment, sheep will yield the
same fleeces, but. the democrats stand
between the producer and bis markets
with a three years' lease of power. The
republicans want to give every American
citizen an equal chance. :
The party who haa just voted for the
Wilson bill was voted' into, power by
Wage earnera who were led. to do so by
false pretenses, they . were told that a
revenue tor tariff only meant far better
wages. They were told e. g. that free tin
meant that they ' could get a dinner
bucket for 2 centa that under repub
lican rule would cost them 15 cents. But
the democratic orators omitted to men
tion that, they could get no dinner to
put in the bucket. They were promised
cheap goods, bat were hot told that they
would have no work. Cheap goods is a
doubtful blessing with no money in one's
pocket to buy them with.. The demo
cratic party formerly paid for the labor
that made their prosperity with the lash ;
then labor was degrading, they took
something for nothing." -- .,-- -"
In the Chicago platform the democrats
foreshadowed that tbey would cut down
the "pro fit a of men who owned and man
aged large factories to the benefit of the
men who did the work. . Enough people
believed that to elect a democratic presi
dent. Enough people now disbelieve it
to retire them in good order when the
time comes.

President Cleveland has sent another
batch of correspondence to congress of

apology, as much as to say, "I didn't

BOSS" Jl'KAXE SESTE.N'CED.
He Will Serve Six .Year In Sing Sine
Prison. ,
. Bbooklyn, Feb. 19. A great crowd
assembled at the court house this morn
ing in anticipation' of the sentence of
John Y. McKane,'the Gravesend poli
ical boss,' convicted of election frauds.
An extra detail of police was uecessary
to ,keep order. McKane came into court
apparently the least concerned man
in the room,' and' laughed - and
chatted with, his lawyers. , When court
opened McKane's attorney -moved ' for
a new . trial and arrest of judgment
which were denied. It .was then ask
ed that the prisoner's previous good
character be taken 'into consideration,'
which the court said he could see no
circumstances to warrant .the exercise
of such a decision. ' His lawyer then
asked for a stay of execution of 20 days
to move on the notice for a certificate of
reasonable doubt. The court suggested
that it could ta done as well after sen
tence. McKane Was then called for sen
tence. When asked what he had to say
he declared he was. not guilty of doing
or counselling anybody else to do any
thing wrong. The judge then sentenced
him to six years' imprisonment in Sing
Sing prison. . ' . . '."''
McKane was at' once taken to jail,
pending an application of stay of- judg
ment to the supreme court. If it is not
obtained before McKane -will be taken to
Sing Sing tomorrow. ' '
Trial of German Anarchists.
Vienna, Feb. 19. A sensational 'trial
was begun in secret here today. It is
that of 12 anarchists, arrested last Sep
tember for distributing incendiary liter
ature and plotting against the life of
Emperor Francis Joseph.- Concealed in
furniture in the lodgings of the leaders,
in a most ingenious way. the police
found a most complete printing outfit, a
large quantity of anarchistic literature
and a regular battery of bombs ready to
be charged, with chemicals for charging
them, together with coats with books on
the inside to bang the bombs on, and a
regular armory of Weapons and ammuni
tion. The literature seized showed the
men were in ; communication- with
anarchists in America and followers -of
Herr Most. Testimony of the most
sensational character is expected to be
brought out at the trial, and, though it
is secret,, the Associated Press has made
arrangements which it is expected will
enable it to give a substantial report of
the proceedings. . . .
The Snjrar Schedule.
Washington, Feb. 18. The indica
tions tonight are that the sugar schedule
of -the Wilson bill, absolutely free
sugar and no bounty, will be reported
by the senate finance committee without
change; but with the understanding
that the question is to he .fought out on
the senate floor, the committee standing
in the attitude of making no recommen
dation on the subject. This course, it is
said, has been practically dicided upon
because of the absolute inability of the
committee to make any recommendation
on the question that would be satisfac
tory. Senators representing the sugar
interests of the Southern states and, the
beet and sorghum' interests of the
Northwest reluctantly state - that tbey
have no hope of ' any favorable action in
committee, ' but . they still threaten a
"Kilkenny cat fight" in the senate.
Mitchell Is Tired of England.
New Yoek, Feb. 19. Last Saturday
night a reporter saw Charles Mitchell at
the-Hoffman' House. It was the first
time in many weeks that the English
boxer had visited the place. He was en
gaged in a game of billiards when - the
reporter saw him. When asked what
his plans were, he replied: "I. have
made up my mind to remain in this
country indefinitely. I will leave for
Jacksonville next Sunday" afternoon to
stand trial for my battle with Corbett.
I expect to be acquitted of having vio
lated any law. I might do some more
boxing in my career, but I have made
up my mind not to fight to a finish
again. Perhaps I shall make a book at
the tracks when the racing season begins.
It all depends on what happens to me in
the next two months. My family will
probably go to England as soon as my
father-in-law gets out of that little
trouble with Conductor Cohen." Mitch
ell is of the opinion that the battle be
tween -Jackson and Corbett will be a
great one. He says Corbett should, win.
