Show Democratic newspapers are presenting present-ing figures showing the appropriations made under the last administration of Orovcr Cleveland and those made under un-der President Rooscvelt,and declaring that they prove that the present administration ad-ministration has cost more than did the last period of Democratic power in national affahs. The truth is that no one has ever been able to compute the cost to the country of the last Democratic administration. If the figures were at hand, the figures showing show-ing just what the people of this country coun-try lost In wages, In value of property In all that goes to make a country prosperous, the total would be of staggering stag-gering Immensity. The last Cleveland Cleve-land administiation cost this country more In dollars and cents than the aggregate ag-gregate of the national debt at the close of the Civil war, and all the people peo-ple of the United States got out of It was a fund of experience which will pievcnt them from trying another experiment ex-periment of that kind until the mem-oiy mem-oiy or the last one has been obllteiat-ed. |
