General Bidwell says he will not take the stump. What will General Bidwell take? If such a question may be addressed to a red-hot prohibitionist. President Harrison does not go out of his way much to talk about "consecration" and "awful sense of responsibility," but he discharges his duty honestly, ably and fearlessly none the less. The democrats who have been asking for instances in which wages have been increased since the McKinley law went into oper ation have been promptly accom modated by the labor commis sioners of several states, democrats as well as republicans. Telephones should be much cheaper next year. The patent on the Blake transmitter expires on January 20 next, and that of the Bell telephone on March i. Then anyone can manufacture tel eDhones.and the monopoly created bv these two patents will be broken. The Providence Journal a mug wump-democratic newspaper, sajs of Mr. Cleveland's letter ot accept ance, "He does not rise to the keisht of his opportunity, but rather feebly and confusedly wan ders about on a lower plane than that on which the presidential candidate of the democratic party should place himself at this time." General Sickles said: "The soldier who lost a leg at Gettys burg will not vote for a man who was content to serve his country by a vicarious sacrifice." He named no one; but Cleveland sent a substitute as a "vicarious sacri fice," while Harrison served with credit in the army. It is not diffi cult to dertermine whom the one legged hero meant. io make tree a thing, not pro duced in this country merely re duces its price without inflicting injury on any American interest The removal of a protective duty on a thing we do produce would involve the, destruction of the do mestic industry, render useless perhaps millions of capital in vested in it, throw the labor em ployed into idleness and narrow the farmer's market for his pro duce. There are two ways in which me "reiormer" iooks at our reci procity policy. When confronted with the facts showing its success wherever tried, and therefore, hard pressed for want of an argu ment, he says that "reciprocity is only another name for free trade, anyway." At all other times he slightingly refers to it as a "hum- Dug." iere we have another op portunity to see the shifty meth ods of the Cobdenite, for by strict logical reasoning this proves what ? That free trade is a hum bug 1 The outlook for the republicans has from the opening of the cam paign been much the brighter. and each day's developments serve to enhance their prospects throughout the country. The sit uation in New York grows contin ually more satisfactory, and Pres ident Harrison's chances of se curing the electorial vote of that state are infinitely better than they appeared a month prior to the election of 1888. At the same time, however, sanguine republi cans are urgsng that the addition of the six new states, admitted to the'Union since the last election, and all safely republican with a total of 20 electorial votes may of itself operate to elect the nom inees of their party even without the vote of New York. The new electorial college will be composed of 444 electorial votes, of which 223 form a majority. It is computed that the sure republican states number 186 electorial votes, and hence, leaving New York entirely out of the calculation, the vote of Indiana 15, of Iowa 13, and of Massachusetts 15 in all 43 votes added to the 186 perfectly sure votes will easily elect the republi can candidate. Again, if the re publicans carry the same states this year as they did in 1888 they will have 249 votes-26 more than a majorily without the aid of any of the ' new states. It will thus be seen that republican pros pects as viewed by the leaders are decidedly bright and cheer ing. .ChUdrenCry JorPitcber!sJastorja. 'AlcKlXLEY PIllCES:' Tho bugaboo ot "McKinley prices" is not given that prorain- er.ee in this year's campaign that it had in that of two years ago; but the general statement is persisted in that prices have been increased by the new tariff law. This is charged in the Chicago platform, and it is offensively assumed by every democratic speaker and newspaper. There can be but one reason assigned for this persistent misrepresentation that the free trade doctrinaires are banking up on the supposed crass ignorance of the people. The usual demo cratic plan of campaign is to as sume that the masses are fools,and that a lie, closely adhered to, wins votes better than an holiest argu ment. If this position were correct, we should despair of the republic, and admit with sorrow that the Amer ican people were not fit to govern themselves. We do not believe that the average voter is of such a low grade of intelligence that h is not able to tell whether the -arti cles of everyday use his food. clothing, furniture, etc. are dear er or cheaper than they were three years ago, before the present tariff law was passed. He will not be lieve this persistent democratic lie if he has any intelligence what ever. Any man who keeps an ac count of his expenses and every man should do so knows that all manufactured articles of necessity and comfort are cheaper now than they were at that time. The new tariff has not made them dearer; it has not injured the people, but benefitted them. Toledo Blade. The position and the platform de clarations of the republican party appeal to the patriotism of the voters, and are directed toward the protection, the fostering, and the upbuilding of American institu tions, political, industrial, and com mercial, while the aim and desire of the opposition party, as evi deuced by its official declarations, lead to a contrary purpose and if consummated must prove destruc tive of vast business enterprises and generally hurtful to American interests. The comparative posi tions of the two parties on the tar iff and other questions can mean nothing else. One demands the protection of our home indus tries against the harmful competi tion of the products of the foreign pauper labor, favors reciprocal trade only with those countries which offer us valuable commer cial concession in exchange, and insists upon a sound currency sys tem which makes every dollar is sued by the government the equal in purchasing power of every other dollar in circulation. The other declares this protection to Ameri can institutions, American enter prises, and American workingmen to be an unconstitutional fraud, de nounces the reciprocity policy of the government which has already saved us millions of dollars as an arrant sham, and demands the re storation of the wild-cat state-bank currency which years ago served to alarmingly complicate commer cial transactions and entail great financial loss upon the innocent holders of worthless or depreciated bank notes. These, in brief, are the principal contrasts in the creeds of the two parties as seen by leading politicians, which are having their effect upon the voters throughout the country. The Cleveland managers have discovered it was a mistake to an tagonize -General Weaver's party in Georgia as a means of checking the popular movement for free coinage of silver and relief from the money lenders of Wall street. The party which Geueral Weaver represents, typifies the blue and gray and suggests a fraternal union of the sections that have been too long antagonized. To respond to that overture by systematic organi zations and persecutions of the leader, because of his record as a union soldier, was anything but politic. It was undoubtedly insti gated by the moneyed influence of the country, that is back of Cleve land. The proceedings in Georgia which now seek palliation in mis statements that are proved to be such by the associated press dis patches, have made a profound impression in several sections of the north and they are entirely to the advantage of President Har rison. Each dollar ot the cotton manu facturer's wealth represents lrom 15 to 20 yards of sheeting or cal ico delivered. Each dollar of the miller represents 40 pounds or more of flour for the hungry. Each dollar ot the sugar refiner and dealer represents 20 pounds of sugar for humanity. But the Donnelly demogogue looks upon the accumulations of these men as "wreckage," and exclaims, "Every dollar represents disaster." It was a bad break for Adlai when he said, just after the assas sination, that he was glad Lincoln had been shot. This utterance will hurt him more in Illinois than all the rest of his copperhead iecord. An interesting feature of the na tional capital is tho number of residences and other buildings of great historical interest which in the march of time and progress have been utilized in more practi cal directions and are now devoted to prosaic purposes. The old Ford theatre, on Tenth street northwest, in which President Lincoln was assassinated, is now filled with government employes, and is used as a branch of one of the over crowded departments, while the residence across the, street in which the martyred president diecf, has become a lodging-house, though an inscribed marble slab on the front still locates it as the scene of the great man's death. On Four-and-a-half street, within a stone's throw of Pennsylvania avenue, stands a large four-story double-brick house in indifferent repair, the old Colfax mansion, oc cupied by the vice-president of that name during his residence in Washington. It has for years been used as a boarding-house,Lmt latterly has been unoccupied for more than a year. The former residence of the late Chief Justice Chase, a rather pretentious struc ture on E street northwest, is now a swell club-house. Ben Butler's quondam residence, a magnificent gray-stone pile on Pennsylvania avenue southeast, near the captitc, has also fallen into the hands of the government. General Butler having sold it to Uncle Sam a year or two ago for $200,000, and it is now used as congres sional committee rooms. Numer ous other instances of similar de sertions of .once famous houses might be cited, and the reason is usually to be found in the fact that the fashionable residence quarter is every year getting fur ther away from the capitol. The New Orleans Picayune says that reciprocity with Cuba has brought several additional steam ers into the trade between that city and Havana. Previously the traffic was all one way, consisting of imports from Cuba. Now the vessels are taking out flour, corn and other commodities. There is no section of the country that has a deeper interest in protection and reciprocity than has the south. The new iron industries of Ala bama and other states have al ready worked a revolution in that trade. Cotton manufactories are progressing in the southern states. Railroad building has vastly in creased the facilities for communi cation and transportation. With this new market opening to the south in this hemisphere, and the encouragement of steamship lines to carry cur products, the south has a vital interest in the main tenance of the republican policy. The treasury department haa ruled that the exclusion act refers to the Chinese as a race, and that their naturalization in another country does not affect their status under the Geary law. A Chinaman was naturalized in Canada, but was stopped at Port Townsend, on his attempting to enter the United States. The facts were forwarded to Washington, and the treasury department or dered him sent back, its ruling be ing as above given. The natural ization of Chinese in Canada has been begun as a business enter prise, but this ruling checks it. What is labor cost? Here is an illustration which shows how largely it is a factor in the cost of manufactured articles: It is es timated by experts' that the Penn sylvania Railroad Company builds a locomotive out of 20 tons of iron ore and 4 tons of coal. The ore in the earth is worth not over $5, the coal in the mine, not over $1. By the time the locomotive is finished, it has cost the company $4000. The difference is what is paid la bor for turning the ore into iron and teel, fashioning the parts, and building the engine. Already there is a manifest lack of interest in the third party movement which marks J.he begin ning of its decline. No intelligent citizens now pretends that there is any result to be hoped or looked for in the party but to throw the election of president into the house and thus secure a demo cratic president. In this case re publicans who have expoused the movement are practically asked to vote the democratic ticket. This is a matter for serious consid eration on the part of those who have contemplated voting with the new organization. iVhen Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Hiss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria. Here is the pension record Of the two presidential candidates: ; Pension bills votoed by Cleve land, 524. ' Pension bills vetoed from Wash ington to Cleveland, 133. Pension bills vetoed by Harri- s9uNONE. Here is an extract from the re publican platform of JSG0, on which Abraham Lincoln ran for the office of president and was elected: While providing revenue for the support of the general gov ernment by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an ad justment of these imports as to en courage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country; and we commend that policy of national exchanges which secures to the workingmen liberal ' . 1.
