When Cleveland was occupying the ex. ecutlve office, he, on more than one occa. tlon, appealed to congress to lift lome o( the hravjr burdens of taxation irom the people. He gave as a reason that there was a hundred millions surplus money in the treasury for which the government had no need. He Insisted that the govern ment had no right to collect a greater amount oi taxes from the people than was neccessary to meet the just demands ol the government economically administered. A republican congress turned a deaf ear to this appeal for a reduction of taxation and so when Harrison came in as presi dent he found an overflowing treasury. A hundred millions surplus. And this money rightfully belonged to the pockets of the people. What did Harrison, Keed and Mckinley do? Instead of taking steps to lift the unnecessary buiden of taxation from the people, they began to devise schemes by which to get rid of the surplus Of course this was not difficult to do. They increased taxation In many respects, but their schemes of extiavagant appropria tions far outstripped their Increase In the (revenues. The appropriations of last con gress, (Reed's and McKinley's,) exceeded one billion dollars, a sum two hundred million larger than the preccedlug con gress over which Carlisle and Randall presided. Now tne country Is confronted with the alarming fact that the treasury is depleted. We are told that there is now an apparent deficiency of $6oo,coo. "Ap parent," Indeed, It Is a stern, actual, de. Ac'incl and unless some extraordinary means are resorted to to raise mon:y, in less than a twelve month there will be a deficiency of fifty millions. It will be re membered that dui-jng Cleveland's admit Islfatloh.so large Was the surptiis thai con. gress was asked to authorize the secretary of the treasury to go Into the markets and buy United States bonds, not then duc.and retire them. This was done, and during the remainder of Cleveland's and a part of Harrison's administration bonds were purchased and retired. But the surplus Is all squandered by the Billion Dollar con -gress and Harrison's secretary of the treas ury is reduced to the necessity of going to the holders of the balance of the per cent bonds, (which become due the firnt of next September,) and ask for an extension of time of their payment. In all this is a lesson that should not be lost sight of by the people. Tax payers every where, with, out regard to party, 6hould as patriotic citizens seriously ask themselves whether a monopoly-ridden, extravagant party like the republicans have proven themselves to be should longer be kept in power. As indicative of the way things are drilling we submit that the receipts of the United States treasury for May were $27,417,000) against $35443,000 the same month last year, a decrease of over $S,ooo,ooo, or at the rate of nearly $100,000,000 a year. The customhouse receipts i howed a decrease of over $5,000,000. For the Arst three months of this year the total expenditures were $86,595,000, against $74,654,000 for the same period last year,an increase of nearly $1 3,000,000, The ordinary expenditures so far this year are $64,920,000, last year $27,498,000, an increase of $27,422,000, or at the rate of $109,000,000 a year, Thus far this year the expenditures have exceeded the receipts by $2,630,000, whereas last year the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $29,428,000 When the deferred pension payments are made at the end of the month, the deficit will b many millions mere. John Sherman in a speech In the repub Mean convention in Ohio said: The democratic house passed the Mills tariff kill, but It ai rejecied bv thr senate and by the people in the election ot 100a, In marked contrast with this is the repub lican administration of Harrison and the recent republican congress. Well, yes, the contrast is marked, very marked Indeed, The republicans In 188S succeeded in the elections by the skin of their teeth, and that only by the corrupt use of hundreds of thousands of dollais raised by the pious Wanamakerand others to bring In votes in "blocks-of-five. Last year Undemocratic victory resulting from the passage of the Mckinley bill was simply overwhelming. Yes, the contrast was marked.

It Is estimated that at least $50,000,000 of the government's paper money, sup posed to be in circulation, has either been lost or destroyed. Some years ago, by the sinking of one vessel off the Atlantic coast, $,000,000 In greenbacks was lost. The brightest star in the firmament was called the dog star by the Egyptians, Lecauss it watches the rising of the Nile and gives notice by its appearance of that important event. When the taipayera begin to pay the $12, 000,000 annual bounties to sugar growers they will appreciate the republican trick of 'free sugar." More than 316,000 emigrants landed in the United States during the last six months of the yor 1S90 and the first three months of 1891. There arrived in New York the other day a German immigrant 103 years old. His fourth wifc,aged forty, and his son, a youth of seventy accompanied him.
