DEMOCNATS DOING MOKE THa.n
WE COULD ASK.
More truth than poetry in the iollow
in?
The work of the extra session shows a
most remarkable contrast between the
fears manifested by members of the popu¬
list parly last fall and democrats carry¬
ing out campaign pledges made to the
people.
When one stops to think of it the work
of reform that is being done is eminent¬
ly proper since it proves they are more
intent on keeping their promises than they
are upon parceling out the offices.
McKinleys cowardly make shift tariff
bill has been repealed and the duty en¬
tirely removed from «il articles of nccessi
>7
That Democrats have lost no time in
removing ttvs curse from the statute bonks
is gratifying to the whole country. Now
siuce the democratic party fought its bat¬
tles upou the ground ol tariff reform and
speedy relict, if they were victorious It is
perfecly natural that the tariff should
have taken precedence of all ether re¬
forms.
The poor man cannot say now that he
is being robbed by the tariff.
In the Democratic as iu all political
parties there are perhaps a lew members
who will think that it Is the duty of
the party when it comes into power to
first distribute the office* but honest peo¬
ple everv where know that there is a ma¬
jority just as auxious and sincere in ob¬
taining relief from an unjust tariff.
Au apology tor the parly iu takiug im¬
mediate act.ou up u a the robber tariff is
unnecessary siucc this was unu of the
principle grounds upon which it came lu¬
te power.
Only a few applications for offices have
been sent in and we can state there came
aleug with these a request to reduce pay
of the office titty per cent, l’resideut
Cleveland heartily approves ol the reform
work that is being doue aud contempla¬
ted reducing his own salary to the aniouut
received by president Lincoln. So then

Democratic congressmen are denounc¬
ing the unparalelcd extravagance of the
lat* Republican house and the act in vo%
ting themselves twelve hundred dollars
extra compenbation is regarded as being
in keeping with Republican possibilities.
Livingston Moses and Lawson of Geor¬
gia h »ve been put ou the special commit¬
tee to prepare and submit to the Souse
evolutions condemning that twelve hun¬
dred dollar extra salary grab
Greshams appointment as secretary meets
the appropriation of honest Democrats
everywhere for the plaiu recson that it
separates more distiuetly an honest Dem¬
ocratic party from the the Republicans,
The precarious condition of the nations
finances brought about by the Republican
extravagance, left upon the democratic
administration the necessity of calling
upon the banxei s of the country to leave
their gold at the disposal of tbo Govern
uient and tlie request has met with such a
hearty response that carries are kept busy
all day bringing in great bags of precious
metal until there is at this time danger
of the treasury beeing surfeited Govern¬
ment loans direct to all the people will be
made as soon as the admiuistratiuu can
fix the amount and kind of security neces
•ary.
S* tbea the pbophecy uf the Atlanta
Constitution immediately after the Novem¬
ber election that the the whole country
would be prosperous under Democratic
rule is being verifiied.
