" I the government; than there were no millionaires nor suffering poor. But at the close of thirty years of Republican misrule and extortion more than half of the property of the couutry in value has passed from the many into the hands of the plutocrats. Daring the last summer the tramp of the unem j ployed, seeking bread and employment, was be -.rd from Main.? to California, I and scenes'of riot, blood-shad aud destruction of, property occurred, tht I like of which was never before witnesses in the history of our country: THE INCOME TAX. The Democratic tariff bill taxes the surplus wealth of the couutry, pro? riding Sot a tax on all annual incomes of over $4,C00, audit is estimated that the miili maires whose names are given above, will hare to pay into tht treasury of the United States the sura of about one million, nine hundred and eighty-fivethousand, three hundred and eighty-fivo dallars. It is esti? mated that the income tax will reach the sum of thirty millions of dollars annually, and to that extent lifts from tiie shoulders of the common people Ihi* burden of taxation. The McKinley biil imposed a duty of j.Vts per ton on coal and iron oros imported: the Democratic bill, Wets per ton. All, or nearly all, the coal mined in Virginia and West Virginia, is mined upon'a royalty of ten cents per ton. A vein of coal eight feet thick yields, upon such a royalty, about one thousand dollars per acre. Under the McKinley bill tho protection af? forded the owner of an eight foot seam of coal is about seven thousand, five hundred dollars per acre; under the Democratic bill about four thousand dollars per acre; surely* that is protection enough, and yet they want and clamor for more. REDUCTION IN TARIFF TAXATION BY THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF BILL. It i> estimated that the Democratic tariff bill will reduce tue cost of goods many millions of dollars aunually, not alone reducing the amount of ! tariff duties, I ut by a corresponding reduction ot goods manufactured in tho ! United States, competiou forcing our own manufacturers to sell their goodi at reasonable prices. .. l\ i* believed that theroduction in tariiTdutics made by tho Democratic tariff in goods designated in the woolen schedule, will relieve the people of about one hundred and cightv-three millions of dollars annually. The new tariff bill is just going into oporati >n and iti beneficial effects arc"already felt. The prices of many products have advanced; American wool has gone up (unwashed wool has bcori sold as huh as- 23 cents per pound.', while foreign wool has e me dov. n. .'orn. wheat, pork, and many other agricultural products have advanced in prices, r.ud the bueiuoss out? look generali)', has greatly improved since the ne w tariff bill became a law. Fellow Democrats, do not be alarmed; the cry and howl ;l:.\i is heard all over the land against the Democratic party is the 3ry <?{' tho plutocrat, and i i the r<rsul'l of the efforts of our party !?> lo >se and break th* grip of tha plutocrats, capitalists, trusts, ?yndicates, and unholy combinations upon tbt throats of, the paoplc. The new tariff indicts no wrong upon any great in? dustry, but relieves the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation. Democrats, for the fi'rsi time in thirty yearn our parly is in control of all the departments of government. Will you give it a chance to redeem its pledges and promises to the people or will you, by apathy and indifference, suffer the Republicans to obtain control of the house of representatives, and Lhus render our party helpless to carry on tho great reform it lot-' inaugur? ated in each and all of the departments of the govcrumerat. Should the Republicans succeed in ihoir efforts, ii will enable them t > prevent the pas sage <if any bill they do not approve; and the will of the people, as expressed in tin presidential clout ion.-,: defeated.

Restoration of the Republican party to power means the re-enactment of the odious and infamous McKinley tariff bill; the building of .1 Chinese wall around our country, preventing an exchange if our surplus products for the -; trplus products of other nation-, and the destructi >n of our commerce; the placing of American labor, bound and helpless, at the feel of plutocracy: tho rc-cnaclincni of the force bill (repealed by the Democrats; or some oth? er with more drastic";features, placing a bayonet behind each ballot; sur rouuding the polls with United States marshals, their deputies and soldiers; thus destroying the power of the states to ?01 r ~! tho (dee, ions as they hare done since the foundation of the government. An increase of the pension roll, now requiring more than one hundred and fifty millions of dollars annually for its payment; an increase '?1 tho expenditures of thu gor crnment, and a decrease in the revenues; the rule of Plutocracy and thoir increased wealth, and the increased poverty and distress of the people.

Gen iral James A. Walker is tho Republican nominee, why he is such, is hari to explain. He was a Democrat ail of his life up to about trie year IS35, when he became disgruntled and sulked iu his tent until 1892, "then In cast anchor in the Republican camp, mounted its platform, which plat? form advocated the infamous forco Id!!, ii...- unjust and oppressive protective tariff, and other iniquitiuos Republican polities. In times past and for manv years the Democrats'of this district and state honored Gi n. Walker with their confidence; elected him to important office*, bestowing upon him th? second highest office in their power?that of Lieutenant Governor of this state. For twenty years be wa3 a bold, d<-nant, aggressive Democrat; he carried :i.e. war into Africa, neither asking nor giv? ing quarter. For bold, agg?;ssivc and fierce attacks upon Republican prin? ciples, policies and leaders, he had no equal i:i the Democratic party. It was his bitter a.-sr.uks upon Republicans and readjusters that-caused the Demo? cratic convention of 1885 to refuse to nominate him for attorney-goneral. The Democratic party at that time was seeking to conciliate and bring home its wandering readjuster brethren, and could not afford to nominate a man who had bitterly denounced thcia, and via;, therefore, under th.e neces? sity of committing the unpardouattle political sin of nominating Ueu. Avers instead of Gen. Walker, If al! that Gen. Vvatkor has said about the Rtpublican party, its leaders and its principle-.*, between 1865 anij 1885, is. true, then ii deserves tu be wiped frosii the face of the earth, and its principles and policies should be ..... .* in an unmarked, unhonored and unknown /rave, [f His charges were not true, then, indeed, he stands on "ragged edge of despair/' and be should apologize to his Republican brethren and "step down and cut," other? wise lie may ^liarc the fate of the lamented Actaeon. Democrats, tue ^Republicans nominated Gen. Walker because (her hoped many u 1" you would vote for him; hoping for this, they kiss the hand that in the p,aae smote them hip and thigh. It' you arc true to yourselves, to your forth and convictions* y&a will surely disappoint these Republican expecta? tions. The Democratic party of this District owes political duty to Gen. Walker; tl%at duty you can and should perform \>i. tue Gill C iy of Xovembor, l^'.i'i. \i\ digging his political grave and ploobig thoroin Lipolitical Lope* land aspirations, and cover them bo d<.'cr with your ballots as to end forever all hopes of their resurrection. Fellow Democrats, as yrau teprefreatativea and in the discharge of tho duties you have imposed, UpAU us, we call upon you to buckle on your Demo? cratic armour, Uvy; ^{devour apathv, and v^^^^ incessant warfare upon Re pu'oiica !.(?'.?..!. ^0 principles for Which you contend ur* eternal, and will oc/.'.M ?., DO,en, and. parties. Our government is founded upon these immutable 'j principled, and will exist so long a* the people are Criio to themselves. 't he Democratic party has Outlived and iriuinphcd o\crall o'.h'jr political parties of the past, and will continue, to triumph. id-lection and desertion arc. ordinary incidents in the history of nil polit? ical parlies: the Democratic* party \a no exception, and often auch defection and desertion work- fojc ?'-' good of the parly, thus ridUing itself of political sore-heads and o.b.fouic ofiico seekers.
