What Has Been Done.
What has the administration done? It
has done this:
Repealed the Sherman law.
Repealed the federal election laws.
Saved §46,000,000 of fraudulent pen
sions.
“ Practically passed a tariff bill that cuts
the duty 30 per cent, and saves the peo
ple directly §70,000,000, indirectly §140,-
000,000 more
Let Us Have Truth.
We printed yesterday a long commu
nication from a gentleman who sub
scribed himself ‘‘a democrat,” and put
forth some very undemocratic ideas. He
took exception to our remark that Mr.
Cleveland was the greatest president
since Jefferson. He praised Andrew
Jackson, and to that we make no objec
tion; but when he seeks by misrepresen
tation of GrOver Cleveland to prejudice
the masses against him and his adminis
tration, we must enter a firm protest,
and as we have done many times before,
must point out the errors and glaring
inconsistencies of his statements. We
do not hope to convince this deluded
democrat with populistic ideas. Though
one rose from the dead, he might not
convince a man so full of prejudice that
he will not open his eyes to facts which
thrust themselves upon the view of
every intelligent man; but the people
will be fair. Before proceeding to review
his criticism in detail, we observe, that
he accepts Czar Reed’s definition of a
statesman as “a dead politician,” and
we regret that he could damn the mem
ory of Andrew Jackson with such faint
praise. We are sure that the people of
this country are not ready to accept Mr.
Reed’s idea of statesmanship in lieu of
of the high standard which the traditions
of the country have given us.
We protest against the injustice done
to Mr. Calhoun, the uncomp omising, foe
of any attempt to lend the government
credit to banks. We gather from his
speeches that he opposed the destruction
of the United States bank as an injus- 1
ties to investors in an institution which
the government had called into exist
ence; but in 1837, when the question of
lending government aid and credit to
state banks, as it is now lent the nation
al banks, came up in the United States
Senate, Mr. Calhoun delivered a power
ful speech, in which he held that every
bank should stand or fall on its own re
sources and its own credit. He bitterly
and vigorously opposed and denounced
the proposition to lend the government
credit to the banks, which was proposed
as a measure of relief in the panic of
1837. It was in the same speech that he
uttered the famous words, “The union
of the government and the money power
is more dangerous than the union of
church and state. ” It is not surprising
that a deluded democrat who could so
misrepresent John C. Calhoun, when
the passions and prejudices of his day
have been dead half a century, should
in the very winter of discontent, mis
represent a living president, who is too
great to compromise with error.
He says “Jackson advocated hard gold
and silver money, and Cleveland wants
hard gold money only.” This statement
about Mr. Cleveland is not true. Jack
son was the foe of inequality and so is
Mr. Cleveland. He would never have
urged the government to pay a silver
miner a dollar for 50 cents worth of
labor and pay a gold miner 50 cents for
the same amount of effort. He did not
believe in any such bounty to one class
of people at the expense of the rest.
In Jackson’s day a silver dollar con
tained a dollar’s worth of silver.
Mr. Cleveland has the same idea; he is
the friend of silver, as he wrote Governor
Northen, but cannot advise its use on
unsound principles. In his message
last fall, he advised an adjustment of
the silver question as suggested by the
democratic platform, by international
agreement. Those who ridicule inter
national agreement as a means of such
adjustment are ridiculing the platform
of the party and ought not to call them
selves democrats.
Our correspondent says: “You say,
“Mr. Cleveland urged the repeal of the
Sherman act.” The party and the
platform demanded the repeal of the
Sherman act. The banks and the mil
lionaires demanded the rapeal of the
purchasing clause only. Mr. Cleveland
almost “single handed and alone with
heroic courage” forced the repeal of the
purchasing clause only.”
This is a mere trick of speech. The
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
requited the government to.buy 4,500,000
ounces of silveFa'montliT'aml the rest of
the act declared for the maintenance of
the two metals on a parity. The Demo
cratic platform demanded the mainten
ance of gold and silver on a parity, and
that feature of the act was left, as it
was sound legislation, precisely in har
mony with the platform.
To contend that the liabilities of the
government are doubled because
the secretary of the treasury pays
the silver notes, as the law pro
vides, in such manner as to main
tain silver on a parity with gold,
is the weakest nonsense we ever saw in
print. He pays not a farthing more than
the notes call for.
Our friend says Jackson was with the
people and the party against the money
power and Cleveland was with the
money power against the people and the
party. How can he say this ■when in
every act the president has tracked the
democratic platform? The truth is, Mr.
Cleveland has tracked it too well for
those deluded democrats who are so far
off the platform that they Jwill not ac
cept its sound teachings on finance, but
continually twist and distort it to suit
their own peculiar views, which they
utterly failed to force on the party at the
convention, though they tried desper
ately hard to do so. The party and the
people demanded the use of both gold
and silver, but demanded that it be used
only in such manner as to maintain them
on a parity with each other, of equal
exchangeable and intrinsic value, and
suggested as means to that end an inter
national agreement. The soreheads re
ject this condition utterly , and kick
clear off the platform. The party and
the people demanded the use of the two
metals without discrimination, and this
does not admit of such rank discrimina
tion as paying a dollar for fifty cents
worth of silver, and only fifty cents for
fifty cents worth of gold. These kickers
ought to get on the platform, or quit
calling themselves democrats.
The party and the people did not as a
whole favor an income tax. It is not in
the democratic platform and could not
be put there by this disgruntled mi
nority. However, in deference to the
views of the minority, it has been placed
in the Wilson bill. If the president ad
vocated the levying of such a tax on cor
porations, he put it where it could most
justly go, for those corporations are as
a rule untaxed. The railroads, with ten
billions of capitalization, go free of’taxa
tim in many of the states. A corporation
tax j§ more just, as it may be accurately
levied, and an individual tax on person
ality cannot be so levied.
Now as to Gresham, he was one,'of the
biggest and best men in the republican
party, represeneting a large element of
the best people in that party, who want
ed to leave it for one with which they
could better agree, and it was a great
stroke of statesmanship in Mr. Cleve
land, for whom they had voted twice, to ;
invite them into 'the democratic party.
It was by the aid of (this element in New
York that Mr. Cleveland was elected I
when no democrat had carried the coun
try for a quarter of a century, and when
they wanted to go with us after
helping us to victory twice, why not let
them in? It is not necessaryjto defend
Mr. Cleveland for enforcing the civil
s irvice law, which he and the party are
pledged to support.
Now, what has Mr Cleveland done?
He has given us tariff reform. He
blazed the way for it when almost all
our leaders were afraid of the issue.
He made it the main issue when others
were dodging. In a few days we will
reach the results. Already the price of
clothing is falling because of it. It will
take two hundred millions from the
backs of consumers. He gave us the pen
sion issue years ago in a veto, and
through the magnificent work of a Geor
gian, the secretary of the interior, Mr.
Cleveland has saved the country §46-,-
000,000 of fraudulent pensions in one
year.
This administration shares with con
gress the honor of repealing the odious
federal election laws, which cast a gloom
over the entire south and threatened
the very foundations of government.
It has carried out the demand of the
platform with regard to the Sherman
act, and as soon as the tariff bill is
passed, it will take up the work of re
pealing the ten per cent tax on state
banks. It is useless for sore heads to
say that Mr. Cleveland has made no
public utterance on this question; it is
his custom to concentrate his efforts'on
one measure at a time, and it is by this
policy that he has overcome so many
obstacles and accomplished so much in
the first year of his administration.
When we say that he is for state banks,
we know whereof we speak. This will I
give more relief than all the silver you
could coin in ten years. The passage of
a tariff bill saving to the consumers
30 or 35 per cent, of the duties and a
THE ROME TBIBUNE, WEDNESDAY MAY 16.
, much larger amount on protected ar
ticles made in this county, is the most
important government reform of “this
generation, and it will go down in his
tory with the name of Grover Cleveland.
It will be followed by similar action
elsewhere, and will be the signal for
commercial emancipation throughout
the world.
The results of the hard work, the pa
tience, the tact and the courage
of this administration are just
beginning to appear. They are al
ready so big that the people see them,
and all over Georgia, the people are en
dorsing Mr. Cleveland and the distin
guished Georgian who is now the
most distinguished member of the
cabinet.
The Irish Horse.
The Irish horse has been famous as
far back as any historical record of it
can be traced, but of late years it has
been the Irish hunter that has given the
country a name for horse breeding. In
producing their breeds, such as the
Thoroughbred, Clydesdale, Shire, Cleve
land Bay, and Hackney, Ireland can
never hope to compete with England
and Scotland, but in her own specialty
of the Irish hunter under an improved
system she need fear no curm vtition. It
is therefore to the development of the
weight-carrying hunter with plenty of
quality—that most perfect type of horse
for general utility and endurance—that
her chief aim should be directed.
Years ago, before the introduction of
various English breeds into the country,
a type existed of the old Irish hunter
which stamped itself on its progeny, and
by its excellence in the hunting field ac
quired its reputation. This type is unfor
tunately rare at the present time, owing
to the numberless experiments in breed
ing that have been tried, and the hunter
of today is more or less a chance animal,
the result of mating a thoroughbred
stallion with a farmer’s mare; in fact,
the breeding of hunters is now too much
a lottery with too many blanks and too
few prizes. It is admitted at once that
there are probably as many of the very
highest class of hunters bred in Ireland
now as at any former time, but the
class that produces these animals is lim
ited, and to a large extent their value is
only realized by the dealers, into whose
hands they chiefly find their way. We
must endeavor to reproduce the type for
which Ireland was formerly so famous
throughout the country generally if we
wish to attain success in Irish horse
breeding; and the possibility of estab
lishing a type and developing a distinct
breed is consistently advocated by some
of the highest authorities on the subject.
It is obvious the broad question is not
so much how those who already have
every facility for breeding good horses
can be assisted, as how an ordinary
farmer can be encouraged in the produc
tion of the best class of animals within
his reach, while preserving the character
of the horses for which Ireland has be
come famous. The trade in Irish horses
is now confined to hunter, harness horses,
troopers, useful van and hack horses,
polo ponies, and the various items in
horse flesh that come below these, while
there is absolutely no trade in entire
horses except for a few thoroughbreds
that are reared in the country.—The

A VETERATSVERDICT.
The War is Over. A Well-known Sol
dier, Correspondent and Journal
ist Makes a Disclosure.
Indiana contributed her thousands of brave
soldiers to the war, and no state bears a bet
ter record in that respect than it does. In
literature it is rapidly acquiring an
enviable place. In war and literature
Solomon Yewell, well known as a writer as
"Sol,” has won an honorable position. Dur
ing the late war he was a member of Co. M,
2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana In
fantry Volunteers. Regarding an important
circumstance he writes as follows:
“Several of us old veterans here are using
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure
and Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving
splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never
used remedies that compare with them. Os
the Pills we must say they are the best com
bination of the qualities required in a prep
aration of their nature we have ever known.
We have none but words of praise for them.
They are the outgrowth of a new principle in
medicine, and tone up the system wonder
fully. We say to all, try these remedies.”
—Solomon Yewell, Marion, Ind., Dec. 5,1892.
