tho treasury would go automatically to paying off the national debt and that this is a per manent form of tax reduction There upon the Democrats took the role of coming to the defense of the dent as against his own load ers The Democrats surmised that tho real purpose of Die Republican leaders was to make no tax reduc tion now but make a larger OUR next spring in order to get he lit of their
