One, E. A. 1 lartshorn.an emissary of the
protected monopolies of the country ,is now
(ravelin? all over the United Slates organ
izing the American ' Protective Tariff
League. He is in Portland now engaged
in organizing one of these bodies. It is a
secret organization and is spending hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to rivit high
taxation upon the people. Among those
who are signers of this league is the Stand
ard Oil Company, and other big monopo
lies, Depew, Claus Sprockets, Lcland Stan
ford, Steve Dorsey, J. H. Mitchell, J. N.
Dolph and others. They are now sending
out tons of literature and the question
naturally arises, where does all the money
come from to pav these traveling agents
and the expenses of printing and mailing
of tons of war tax literature now beingsent
to every nook and corner of the country
Gentle reader, the protected manufacturers
of the country furnish the money out of the
lavish profits made by having such a high
protective tariff upon their productions
The mass of the people whoconsume these
protected articles are they in fact who pay
this money in the increase of the goods
they consume. Hence the people are tax
ed to maintain and perpetuate - law whose
burden they labor to relieve themselves of.
When will the people open their eyes
If those who arc so devotedly in earnest
in perpetuating the onerous taxes of war
times, could hold their breath long enough
from bawling "free trade" to read the fol
lowing resolution tal.en from the National
democratic platform, they would.if hones,
ceae such silly cry :
"Our established domestic industries and
enterprises should not, and need not,be en
dangered by the reduction and correction ,
pf the burdens of taxation. On the con
jfjry, fair and careful revision of our tax
iawliWith d'16 allowancg for the derence

eTgn Tabor must promote and encourage
every branch of such industnes and ente.
prises,and by giving them assurances of an
extended market and steady and continuous
,inn. In the interests of American
labor.which should in no event be neglect
ed, the revision 01 our tax
plated by the democratic party should pro
mete the advantage of such labor by cheap
ening the costs of the necessaries of life in
the home of every workingman,and at the
same time securing to him steady and re
munerative employment."
The poison known as "rough on rats"has
at length attracted attention of men whose
opinion should have weight in leading to a
restriction of its sale as other deadly pois
ons are restricted. The Brooklyn, New
York, board of pharmacy has just taken
official cognizance of i, and the rather re
markable fact has been brought out that
notwithstanding the part it has played In
the courts and the number of suicides by its
use, this convenient means of murder and
self-destruction has never been officially
analyzed. The board.however, secured an
unofficial analysis for their own atisf action)
and the result exceeded their apprehension
for they discovered that not less than 90
per cent of the stuff is arsenic. As a result
it has issued a circular to the 350 druggists
doing business in Kings county, notifying
them that "rouub on rats" must hereafter
be sold under the law regulating the regis
tration and proper labeling of poisonous
drugs.
The money now lying idle in the Federal
Treasury resulting from superfluous taxa
tion amounts to more than $125,' ,oc,
and the surplus collected readies the sum
of more than $6o,ooo,c x annually. De
bauched by this immense temptation, the
remedy of the republican party Is to meet
and exhaust by extravagant appropriations
and expenses,whether constitutional or not,
the accumulations of extravagant taxa
tions. The democratic f.jllcy is to enforce
frugality In public expense and to abolish
- unnecessary taxation. National Demo-
ctatic platform.

sional leaders.proposcd in !M to rcuuLL a
per cent tariff to an average of 3(,-4 "

When the democrats, in the face ot a
larsrer surplus than then e::istcd,propooe to
reduce a 47 per cent tariff to .jo per cent it
is called "British free trade."
The Republican National Convention
pledged itself in 1SS4 to "correct the ine
qualities of the tanffand reduce me sur

The Democratic Convention in ii54
made the same promlse.in different terms,
and is at last uni'ed and earnest in trying
to redeem it.
Thisisthc present and the main differ
ence in the twe parties.
The platform adopted by the National
Democratic Conventon will take rank with
the best documents of its kind. It is well
written; it deals with living issues; it
truthful in the claims it makes in behalf of
the pa'ty whose principles it declarer and
it shows moderation in its strictures upen
the opposition. Jt indorses the views ex
presed'by President Cleveland in his las
annual message. It emphatically demands
a reform of the tariff system, the modifica
tion of unjust and unequal tax laws, the re
duction of war burdens, the extension of
our markets, the cheapeningof necessaries
of life, greater freedom fr our fettered in
dustries and more remunerative employ
ment for the wageworkers.

To the Thinking People op Albany
Friends : Imumuch as this is the day
and age of sensational advertising and every
business man Is racking his brain trying to
concoct some scheme whereby he can get
ahead of his neiehbor. We wish to deviate
roin that rule and make the following state
ments, knowing that they will be appre
ciated by all lovers of truth ar.d justice. W
are here in business for the purpose of
making money and we realize that In ordet
to accomplish that object we must have a
continuance of our large patronage. Furth
ermore we know that this can be assured
only bv extreme effort on our part and we
wish to state that we will at all times give
you hrst-class goods at prices as low 01
lower than any house in Albany and in ad
dition allow you 5 per cent off on all cash
pu chases. Ihe statement made by some
dealers that they can buv cheaper than
o.hers is folly in the extreme as all cash
buyers have equal advantages one with an
other. What we are striving to do is to
merit your patronage and we hope by
square, upright dealing to do so and be 01
mutual benefit one to another.
Respectfully,
Brownell & 'Stanard,

The other day when a democratic mem
bcr of Congress proposed to put jute bags
on the free list the republicans in a body
voted against it. Here was a fine oppor
tunity for Congress to give the farmer and
wheat grower a little legislation that wouM
benefit him. The republicans, including
Hermann, voted against it. These repub
lican leaders talk very nicely to farmers
before election but entirely forget them
after election.
The Republican organs, having spent
considerable portion of the past three years
in extolling the virtues of Allen G. Thur
man, will find their new position a decided
misfit every time they attempt to sail in
and abuse hiin.
