‘•The surplus iu the treasury is a
republican legacy,“ says the Repub
li<an papers. Yes, it is a legacy of
Republican legislation which taxis
the many to the highest standard
that the fe^ may pocket millions
The surplus comes from exoessivo
duties on imports. It comes from
the earoiogs of the people. While
the people have been payiug this en
or nous surplus on imported goods,
the wealthy manufacturers, for
whom the protection has been levied,
are reaping the benefit of the ad
vanced price of goods to the consnra
er. A vote for a Republican for any
office is an indorsement of the Is
publican system of filling the liens
nry. The Democratic purpose is to
reform this method of creating lc^gn
cie-s. Tbo Democratic party's pur
pose i3 to reduce this robbery rate
of taxation: to let the water out by
stopping the flow; to bring abont re
lief by leaving this money in ihe
pockets of the people: to relieve mill
ions of onr people from the oppress
siou of tbo high tariff duties which
servo only to burden the treasury
with an idle surplus and place un
earned millions in the coffers of a
few hundred money barons who
themselves neilhor work nor spin.
The time is lipe for action, and the
friends of the oppressed await a
speedy consummation.

The discovery uy the inhabitants of a loenl

to which science a|so gives its sanction as a

les, and all diseases imoairiug the organs of
digestion and assimilation
On tbo tariff question tbo Clove
land Plain Dealer pointedly and
truthfully atatca tbe position of tbo
Democratic party a* follows:
What tbo Democtatic party propos
eo is simply to Lring tsxation within
the limits of government needs- That
if) all President Cleveland suggested
in bis message. It is all that the
Democratic pirty has pledged itself
to accomplish. The tax on tbe poo
pie is more than the i;c«d of the gov
ernment warrants. It is prodneing
an eictrs of reveuue that invites pro
fligacy nod threatens business stabili
ty. The Democratic party simply
proposes to lessen taxation to au ex
tent that will bring the revenues to
an equality with government expen
see, nud to lay the lightest tax on ar
tides of necessity, and let it remain
tbe heaviest on articles of luxury.
That is the whole Democratic propo
sition and it is sound. No Iiepnbli
can daro question its soundness. On
that issue the Republican party is
afraid to make its fight, and there
fore raises the false issue that tbo
Democrats are in favor of free trade.
A contraction of the currency of
any country has always been followed
by financial distress, but it never has
occurred before that n contraction of
th* currency was made by the levy
of more taxes on the people than was
necessary to meet I ho necessities of
the government. Consequently the
f resent tariff law operates upon pub
lie business by uvo forces: First, it
taxes the people ten million dollars a
month more tbau is necessary. Sec
odJ, it locks up that amount of mon
oy each month and causes contrac
• ion to (Lat extent. Tbo money
thus locked up i-. the result of an in
direct tax of ten dollars per month
on every laboring man in the conn
try. Not one in ten of the laboring
men who pay this enormous indirect
tux, are in the least possible moans
benefitted V»y the protective l riff.
On the contrary, every cent of sur
plus they thus pay is an unnecessary
and forced robbery from them of
what they should have to spend for
comforts and luxuries for their fumi
lies at home.

“My wife and myself were in bad health
for wfifteen years. I chanced to he look¬

obtained some of lie Regulator, and can
heartily recommend the Liver Regulator to

This paper will shortly begin the publication of a Serial Story with the above title, and
of intense interest. Each chapter is alive with excitement and the plot moves on with a
power aud spirit which will, we believe, make this one of the most acceptable serials we have
ever offered in these columns.
THE BRETON MILLS
Is a story that will satisfy the popular demand for intense interest in each installment. The
scene is laid in a New England fadlory village. Both the employing class and the class of
the employed furnish aclors in the thrilling romance, and the reader’s interest will be closely
held all through the changing scenes of the story. While not taking sides ou the questions
interesting working people, which are touched upon in the story, the author dissedls the pa¬
thetic elements of the life of the poor with fearless hand. Still his romance, after all, is a
romance of love, and all else in the story is only introduced to solve the problem of one
man’s devoted and faithful nature.
