Bade by democrats.
Stephen A. Douglas introduced*!

granting the right of way and
making "a grant of land to
the states of Illinois, Missis-
sippi and Alabama; in aid of
the construction of a railroad
from Chicago to Mobile.
As much as 30,420,920 acres
were given to the rairoads pri-
or to 1£01.
The Union Pacific grants
were the largest ever made.
Only two democrats voted
against them in the house.
They make a great howl ov-
er reclaiming mach of this
land, forgetting to mention the
fact that the lands were for
feited because of failure on the
part of railroads to comply
with the conditions of the
grant, and all that was needed
to reclaim tbem was a law au-
thorizing the secretary of the
interior to have the necessary
surveys made to determine
what part of tho land had been
forfeited.
national banks.
They were chartered in 1862
The acts chartering provided
t bat i he law maybe repealed
or amended at any time, yet
no democrat has ever introduc-
ed a bill for that purpose, and
when Watson, a reformer, in-
troduced one, a democratic
committee refused to report it.
We fiod such democratic sena
tors as Ransom, Call, Hamp
ton, Jones, Morgan and Gor-
man voting for recharter.
The following is the vote on
rechartering the banks: In
the house. Yeas—Republi

118. Nays: Republicans 3,

crats 60, republicans 48. Here
it is again. Sixty democratic
congressmen out on a drunk or
fishing while the country was
in peri'. But give them a
chance. The same state of af
fairs existed in the senate.
President Cleveland deposit
ed over $63,000,000 of the peo-
ple's money in these banks,
without intetrest, that they
might loan to the people at us-
urous rates. Such leading
lights as Carlisle, Beck and
Bayard admit that they favor
the system, and will do all in
tbeir power to support and fos
ter it. No national democrat
ic platform for twenty years
has condemned the system, be
cause national bankers, like
August Belmont, agent of the
Rothschilds, have been the
teachers of finance. National
bankers like Roswell P. Flow-
er and Daniel Manning have
been chairmen of the national
committees and borrowed the
public funds without so much
as paying interest, out give
them a little more time!
contraction.
The infamous act contract-
ing the currency was passed
March 23,1866, which resulted
in retiring the greenbacks.
The vote was 83 for, 44 sgainst
—28 democrats voted for con-
traction and only 1 against it.
In addition to this horribly
black record, the democrats od
the supreme bench have, as a
rule, been opposed to green-
backs as money, which is the
only currency that can not be
controlled by the bankers, yet
they profess to be the friends
of the p« ople and want more
time.
Jefferson said that funding
was legalized robbery, yet
when the votes were taken in
1866, which funded into inter-
est-bearing bonds the treasury
notes which circulated as mon-
ey until the circulation was re-
duced about $700,000,000, we
find the following record.

yet that law was repealed on
Jan. 86,1871. The vote in the
senate was closed—90 to 36,
one vote would have continued
the tax, yet seven democrats
voted to repeal and only two
against O! give 'em a little
more time and they'll give re-
lief.
When an attempt was made
in February, 1878, to re enact
the law it was defeated by
these same fellows who want
more time— 26 democrats vot-
ing no. Had they voted yes
the constitutional majority
would have been large enongh
to have passed the bill. An-
other attempt on June 12,1878,
ended the same way, except
that 66 democrats voted against
the Mil that time. w. M
Springer, the present loader of
the democratic honse was one

Silver Was demonetized in
1873, both democrats and re-
publicans assisting the villain
ous work, not enough opposi-
tion being manifest to demand
a yea and nay vote: hence no
record.
When Cleveland was elected
he recommended that the coin
age of silver be stopped, and
when an attempt was made on
Feb. 27,1886, to carry out his
recommendation 53 democrats
voted to stop it entirely.
In 1886, with almost two-
thirds democratic majority, on
April 28, a free coinage bill
was defeated, 68 democrats
voted dead against it. And
yet this party of promises
claims to favor free coinage
and legislate in the people's
interest. Bah!
In the present house, with a
democratic majority cf about
160, elected upon promises of
enacting a free coinage law,
silver has been ingloriously
defeated and the gold bugs
given continued lease of power.
But they want more time!
ROBBF.R TA BIFF.
Here's where the greatest
fuss is made; but records are
very awkward things. Are
they really in earnest about
reforming the tariff? Let us
see. The Morison bill of 187:*
reducing the tariff was defeat
ed by a vote of 150 to 155, and
41 democrats voted no—more
than ten times enough to have
passed the bill. How we do
appropriated $486,808 079.8i, or
$28,410,169.03 more, the ses-
sion not yet ended, and aooord

Boltshoover, a democratio
member, about $46,000,000
more to be appropriated.

According to democratic
doctrine it is unconstitutional
to loan mouey to the farmers
on corn, cotton and wheat, but
when the whisky ring demand-

March 14, 1877, a law was
enacted loaning the "ring"
the tax on liquors stored in
warehouses for tbr e years.
The distillers propost d to pay
five per cent interest on ths J?***

the other year. They got all

In 1880 the Morison bill came
up again, but was defeated by
a vote of 167 to 140—35 demo
crats voting no. Tariff reform !
The Mills bill only proposed
an average reduction of 4 1 2
per cent, leaving about 42
cents of "robber tariff*' on im-
ported goods. Tariff reform!
The McKinley bill has been
denounced by every democrat
ic speaker, paper and con
gressman in the land, and,
though congress has been in
session nearly six months, no
one has dared to introduce a
bill repealing the "robber tar
iff."
The free wool bill has been
passed, giving the manufactur-
ers cheap wool, forcing Ameri-
can producers to compete with
European growers, yet protect
ing the manufactured wool
cloth to the extent of 40 per
cent on the avarage, manufac
turers are tickled to death.
Tariff reform!
The "robber tariff" to th ex
tent of seven tenths of a cent
per pound has been removed
from binding twine, thus ssv-
ing to the consumers of this
country the enormous sum of
one and one-thirteenth of a
cent each year. Reform!
Give us a chance at the robber
tariff!
That's all!
Ring the curtain down on
this tariff farce!
SQUANDERING THR SURPLUS.
The money belongs to the
people. The bondholders did
not pay a dollar of it into the
treasury. Where did it go?
Ask Clevsland. Ask Roger Q
Mills. On Jan. 16,1888, Roger
Q. Mills, big democrat, intro
duoed in the house a bill to ap-
ply the surplus money in the
treasury (that was paid in by
ths people) to the purchase of
bonds. This was done. A big
premium was paid for those
bonds, in fact the preminm
alone amounted to $72,000,000.
The vote on this stood—Teas
republican, 47; democrats, 91;
nays, republicans, 28; demo-
crats, 36. Give 'em more time!
