Every democrat who think of scratch ing his ticket should bear in mind that two years from now he will be regarded aniVheld to be a "kicker,"and his standing asja democrat will be regarded as doubtful. There is an implied agreement that all who take part in th primary meetings and county conventions of their party shall abide by the action of the party. If one ahall vote against a part of his party ticket he is not voting against the individ ual candidates, but he is voting against his party. Democrats of Linn county, this is presidential year when every one should stand true to his colors. No man can ex pect to get all the candidates he wants.lle is unreasonable if he does. Then let every democrat stand firmly to his post and do his whole dutv. KEEP IT IN MIND, The bonded public debt of the United States is as follows : Funded loan of 1S91, redeemable on and after September 1st, 1891, and bearing interest at four and half per cent, $228,054,600. Funded loan of 1907, redeemable on and after July 1st, 1907, and bearing Interest at the rate of four per cent per annum, $73'38o,350. The government has two general sources of obtaining revenue. The first is by duties on imported commodities and the other is known as internal revenue, that is, a tax on whisky, tobacco and oleomargarine. The internal tax on whisky for the year ending June 3oth,i8S7,amounted to $65,829,321.71 on tobacco $30,108,067.13, and from oleo margarine and other sources,?22,S99,9i 2.22, making a total of internal revenue taxes of $118,837,301.06. The amount of money received from duties on imported goods was $217,286,893. 12, and from various other sources, $35,292,993.31, making a sum total ofall taxes collected of $371,403,277.66. The ordinary expenses of the government for the same time was $3i5,835,428,leaving a surplus in the treasury June 3oth,iSS7,of $55,567,849.54. Careful estimates show that for the year ending June 3oth,i8SS,the surplus for the year will amount to nearly $100,000,000. This added to the surplus of last year will amount to $155,567,849.54 Every person must see that great harm and financial disaster will result if this policy of accumulating surplus is to go on. Some thing must be done by Congress to check up this constant flow of the people's money into the treasury there to be hoarded and subjected to non-use, or a financial crash and panic will come upon the coun try such as it has never seen before. There are three ways by which this accumulation of surplus money may be stopped : First a reduction of taxation. Second,more ex tensive appropriations ot the public money for public improvements. Third,hy goin into the markets and buying United States bonds. No tax-payer who is true to his own interests can object to the first method for tax reduction must always be the slo gan of the people when they are payin more than the government needs. All careful, frugal taxpayers will object to the second, as it establishes the foolish and dan gerous policy of extravagance in publii expenditures. No citizen could consist ently endorse the third, as the government would have to pay a premium of 7 to cents on the funded loan of 1S91 and 26 to 27 cents on the funded loan of 1907. we decide to reduce the surplus by reduc ing taxation, then the question arises whether this reduction shall be made on tariff duties on the necessaries of life.or on internal taxes on whisky and tobacco. Which will you have, cheap clothing and cVitap necessaries of life.or free whisky and tobacco ? The Mill's bill will give you the former and republican policy the latter. Choose ye this day which vou will have. Congressman Kerr, of Ioa,republican made a speech a few days ago on the tariff question, in which he said : "He approved a reduction ot the reve nue by the abolition of the internal reve nue tax. The time had come.he thought, in the history of the American govern ment for the nation to declare that hence forth it would take no share in the profits of the sale of alcoholic liquor. As we have often said before.the repub licans are rapidly crystalizing around the policy of taking the war taxes from whis ky and tobacco and retaining it on the necessaries of life. Free whisky and free "caws,"and taxed clothing for the poor is the renublican nrosrram. How do the peopU like it ? The democracy of Delaware county .In diana, in mass meeting adopted the follow- Resolved. That our present whisky laws are good enough if enforced. And we are in tavor ot closing up tne oacit uoor uic republican end of all saloons ; compelling republicans to go in at the front door to get their annus line otner people. It is getting to be more and more plain that the republicans will rely a good deal in the national campaign this year on what they call the issue of an honest vote,mean ing by that the question of the suppression of the negro republican vote in some of the Southern States. There was .1 time when they hoped to avoid this plan. They thought that they had a "fighting chance" in several of the Southern States-in the two Virginias and in North Carolina and they felt that if they were to make any thing of this chance they must do so en some other Issue than that of race, fortius is what the matter amounts to. When Senator Sherman went South and made his peaceful and smooth speech, he had this chance in miml.aml there was a num ber of other aignsof the same sort. The plan was a good one. and it would have been likely to work fairly well out for one thing : If the lepubluans were to drop the Southern question, the only one left for them was the tariff, and, though the leaders are clearly going to niik to the tariff i.suc, they have a suspicion that thev cannot get rid of, that it will drive off a good many of their voles in the North unless they cm hold them hy the feeling thai the Southern question arou-es.

To the Thinking People of Albany Friends : Inasmuch as this is the day and age of sensational advertising and every business man is racking his brain trying to concoct some scheme whereby he can get ahead of his neighbor. We wish to deviate rom that rule and make the following state ments, knowing that they will be appre ciated by all lovers of truth ar.d justice. We are here in business for the purpose of making money and we realize that in order to accomplish that object we must have a continuance of our large patronage. Furth ermore we know that this can be assured only by extreme effort on our part and we WISH IU BUllC liluL C Mill HI All lllllGOglvC you first-class goods at prices as low lower than any house in Albany and in ad dition allow you 5 per cent off on all cash purchases. The statement made by 6ome dealers that they can buy cheaper than others is folly in the extreme as all cash buyers have equal advantages one with an other. What we are striving to do is to merit your patronage and we hope iy square, upright dealing to do so and be of mutual benent one to another.
