Yes, we've heard from Maine, and if the election there may bo taken as an indication of public sentiment, Cleve land will sweep everything before him in November. Whk.v "the democratic sheep raiser votes the republican ticket because he imagines he is serving his own inter ests to do no, can ho blamo the repub lican cattle raisers for voting the demo cratic ticket? 5 Sr.rAitATi: Hun iron from the repub lican party and it would bo the last of Harrison. .Separate the republican party from Maine and it would be the last of the republican parly. The arch demagogue holds tho whole out lit in his hands and manipulates them to suit his ambitious designs. Dn. Ta.vnkk who fasted forty days in New York, now has a scheme to hi bernate. Ho says hibernating ani mals do not use their lungs, and ho proposes to have himself sealed up for a timo in an air-tight vessel and prove liis theories. Tho doctor should wait till after tho November election and try tho experiment on tho republican parly. Tin: New York Evening Tost says: "The republican parly has become essentially a syndicato of lich mon, with a following of dupes who have been persuaded that tho prosperity -f the country i promoted by high taxes. Translated into plain English, their rallying cry is this: 'fiCt tho govern ment tuko oare'of tho rich, and tho rich will tako care of tho poor.' This is tho true significance of all tho rack et about wages." Jilt. Ui.aini: can hardly bo a sincere man. Ho says: "Trusts have no place in a national canvas, but are statu issues." In 1881 ho said tho same about prohibition, and his ccrity was male unquestimably evi dent when in Maiis in tho same year be went to the polls to vote n "scto issues" and prohibititaj $as oo of tp most prominent rand notwitliftinding his bold proachtug upon thaV acbjeel ho did not hjivo iarvo onxgh tt folo foT or against, bob tciro it fronp hs tidbit.

Tweed, and says that ho will not assist in put ting tho author of tho Mulligan letters and thu political assassin of Iloseoo Conkling in virtual control of the gov ernment. A (JAi.uoitNiA exchange says: "A young Indian squaw was burned at tho stako for a witch in Southern Cal ifornia a few days ago. She was burned near Hock Springs, fcsau Ber nardino county, by a band of Mojavo Indians. It was two hours before the horrible deed was completed and tho girl's screams silenced. The Indians told Homon, who loportcd the horrible deed, that it had been several years since they had burned a witeh, though several had been condemned since then, but managed to umuk." We look upon these Indians as iluuds and ImrhnrliinH, hut they were duly doing what our ihjldly rlghloouu mid very pIoiiH foiefathorn did in IkwWm, Mu., hv (him a coiilury io, goitiug (heir Wrtiraut (or tho im out of I In llouk of Hook.

Harrison is "still harping on my daughter' 'still talking pedantically nuil almost pitifully to ill visiting del- cgntions about the beiiclit of protect- ion to wngo-carticrs; still protesting that frner conmicrcc will cause lower wages. The very fact that Harrison is thus pleading for favor with the wage earners is of itself suspicious, because ho was never known to interest him selt in workiiigmeii and thoir wages before. In fact his whole career, so far as it has touched by word or deed upon this subject, has been a sneer, a scoff, at workingmeii, whom ho despised, Mid nl the wage-question, lleis and always has been a I'ourbon blhc-blood aristocrat withan " J-thank-God-that-I-ain-not-as-otbcr-incii-are' ' spirit prompting and guiding his whole life. When he was a railroad attorney in 1877, at a salary of $20,000 a year, he acted as an "arbitrator" in the dilli ciilty between tho railroads and the workingmeii, siding of course with tho company on every point , and breathing out threatening and (daugh ter against (ho strikers. When ho was in the senate his every vote and word, upon any question touching Iho labor question, proved him to be the friend and champion of the cheapest labor possible. Uut, aside from bis true sentiments and his "record," what, ho alitrms, or rather what he suggests that pro tection causes better wages is utterly untrue, and Mr. Harrison, as an in telligent man, must know it to bo untrue. No one fact in the whole range of political science has been more clear ly, completely, and conclusively proven than tho fact that protection is no benefit, but rather a damage, to wage-earners. Why. tho simplo facls before Iho face of every intelligent man prove this, if thorough investigation of ex perl statesmen and scientists had not. If protection raised wages, tho em ployers of labor would not bo in favor of it, because thev all want cheap labor, as Harrison did when ho Oas a $20,000 railroad attorney. It protection raised wages, then wages fc'ould Jtrl have been IgUtcr, as h?e been , in ifiis ftml in tH countries, under low tariffs, or if yoTl pfcftso "friHi trade." 15 pronation iftiscd Wages, then Chkif, Unsafe, Ittly, and Spaiought o havO tho hijkest-iid-gO' ft-ork-ru; few PJieso at. tli countries moil lummox cw; bL the f8c is fc'njt oho T&m "yrolrtjtfxi" ciinty its the loVir i inges.

Why, it has been dcnionstrtjtQx! by ovory man who ever investigated the subject and made a report, dcigpO'at or republican, that us arulo the high er tljo wages paid the lower was the total cost of t&o manufactured pro duet. Kdward Atkinson proved this. Consul Schoenoff proved it. Prof. KichnrilT. Kly proved it. The olli eials of every civilized government on earth havo acknowledged U. Even lilaiuo confessed it. Every man who has read political economy knows it. This one fact destroys every vestigo of foundation or excuse for tho falsehood that protection benefits labor. i Prelection" is protection of capi tal alone. It is a robbery of labor. H. O. MWT VOW SEE ITf "Don't you see," said tho manu facturer to tho workingnian, "that a duty on imports protects mo, becnuso it enables mo to get higher prices from tho homo consumer, than I could othorwlso get." "Yes," replied tho workingnian, 'and 1 tun a homo consumer." "True," responded the manufact urer, "but you can afford to pay tho higher pi Ices because the tariff gives mo big prollts and 1 am therefore able to pay you wages in proportion." "Why don't you do so then?" atkud thu workluguinu. 'ltocuuso 1 am not in the phlhiu throne Hue of hu.lnosk and I don't have to.

We giro our readers, this week, a supplement containing editorials from tho Portland Oregoman covering the period from 1880 to 1887, inclus ive. They were written at a timo when the tariff question was not an issue between the parties, and may bo taken as the honest sentiments of tho editor of that paper on the subject. They arc unanswerable orgunicntsin favor of the policy adopted by the democratic party to-day. Wo urge our readers to peruse tho supplement carefully. It is well known what po sition that paper now takes on the tariff Issue, and with what persisten cy it is trying to disprove the argu ments it presented then. By its own words it stands convicted as a shame less liar. Arc not such examples as this sufficient to cause tho masses of tho people to stop and think? Arc they not suggestive of the vast power that money can exert in the hands of unscrupulous millionaires and manu facturers bent on the furtherance of their iniquitous designs? A war is now being waged between capital and labor, between the rich and the poor. On one side arc the parasites pouring out their money to buy up the venal and mercenary. On the other side arc the champions of the poople fight ing manfully no money in sight for them rich only in patyotism. desir ing only tho welfare of their country. Chooso between them and do it quickly. THEY D02PT LIKE POETRY. The Journal publishes no poetry whether meritorious or not. Nor (foes it publish any communications whatever when the author is unknown.

Another fine illustration of the lib eral ideas of veracity entertained by the associated press reporters and agents, was had just after tho lte Maine election. Ever since itu organi zation the asoociated press has been ma nipulated in tho direct interest of the republican party, and returns of elec tions havo been uniformly falsified in order to further tho plans of tho repub lican bosses. It is impossible to perma nently suppress tho official returns, however, and, after having mado a great uproar over a fancied gain in tho republican voto in Maine, the Har rison organs now find it convenient to say no niwro about it. The truth is that tho clear republican majority ovor all in Blaino's bailiwick is only 14.G46, a greater falling of from 1884 Land even from 1880. When tho first returns came in, it was heralded through tho prcB that there would be nt least 20,000 clear majority ovor tho demo cratic candidates. Now, however, it is nuinifet that theie has been a demo cratic gain in the state since Clove tond'i election of almost 10,000 vote A little more of Mich chlcunrry on tho miri of tlm riiniiblican manacrra would dimitut even their own followerd. iA-moi-rol.
