General Weaver has had a per
sonal experience of the"rotteuness"
of southern politics.
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.

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
