We say issue, because there is one thing that overshadows all others, and that is the tarifC question, The democratic idea has been fully explained and is clearly 6tated in its declaration of principles. It is to make a reduction in taxes so that the in come or revenue of the government shall be that actually needed to conduct its affairs economically administered, making these reductions from the articles in use by every day people in everyday life,as far as possi ble. This is In every sense the common man's platform and appeals directly ior sup port to the workingmen of the country. The republican party goes to the country asepposing tax reduction except upon whis ky and tobacco and advocating the plan of reducing the revenues of the government by increasing tariff duties or taxes to a point where no goods will be imported. To re duce the existing surplus they would spend the money on hand freely. This presents the great issue and the attitude of the two great parties upon it. It is clear and plain and should not be covered by flimsy argu ments to such an extent as to be misunder stood. We ask the voter to consider both prepositions and have no fear but the in telligence of the American people will set tle the question in favor of cheaper food and cheaper clothing rather than cheaper whisky and tobacco. The Alia says : "In Mr. Morton the American people for the first time have an English banking-house running for the Vice-Presidency. Mr. Morton's principal bank is in London, where his partner is Sir John Rose,the celebrated Finance Minister for Canada. Mr. Morton's business is mostly English,and hlsaffiliatlons,financiiil and personal, have been more English than American. It is the first time that the same name has appeared over a London bank and on a Presidential ticket in Amer ica. He resides abroad much of his time and affects English styles in his dress and even in tin; cut of his whiskers. These things are made worthy of mention as il lustrating the intense hypocrisy of the re- publican pretence about the Cobdcn Club and English influence. Mr. Morton was useful to the Vanderbilts in placing $50,- 000,009 of their railroad bonds in England, and it is natural that the New York Cen tral Kailroad, failing to get its American President, Mr. Depew, for the first place on the ticket, should claim the second place for its English banker. Sir John Rose may came to this country and take the stump for his partner. It will not be the first Unit the republicans have had Englishmen on the stump for them, tor they sent for Henry Vincent during the war, and ht rendered them effective service." When the Chinese restriction bill was before Congress a motion was made to strike out the following section : "Sec. 1 j. That the word 'Chinese labor ers,' wherever the same occurs, shall be construed to mean both skilled and unskill ed laborers and Chinese emploved in min ing." Harrison, true to his consistent record on the Chinese question, voted for this motion. Wcsay"consistent,"for Harrison uniformly opposed both bills before Congress on that subject. Republican newspapers will have to give up their attempt to cover up his record, as it is a matter of public record. The Illinois Stait.s Zeitnng, the great leading German republican paper of the west, has bolted the Harrison ticket on ac. Count of the tariff plank in the republican platform. The vigor with which it de nounces the free whisky program of the republican leaders convinces any one that it will do great service in the election of Cleveland and Thurman. The Statesman heads the Harrison ticket with the picture of an old log cabin and barrel designed to call to mind the day when "grandpa" ran for President. The log cabin is all right, but every man we nave met, so lar, who has sven the States ihiih's picture says the barrel is intended to symbolie that plank in the republican platform declaring for cheap whisky. Carlisle is right when he says that nhic tenths of the people who criticise the Mills bill have never read it. When you hear one of these fcllowsso flippantly describing that bill.ask him if he cverreid" it and nine times out of ten he will be compelled to say, no. Nevertheless he talks as though he knew all about It. The miners may paste upon their pick handles that lien Harrison, in iSS. voted in the Senate to admit Chinese miners free of the Restriction Act. The sort of "American labor" that the millionaire manufacturers are so anxious to protect is shown by statistics of the na tionality of the operatives in the Amory cot ton mills at Manchester, N. H. Of tlieSoo "one-third a-e French.Canadians and the rest of various nationalities, only eighty, or one-tenth of the whole, being native Amer icans." And the protectionist paper that prints these facts adds that "what is true of this coi.ipany is also substantially t. ue of all the great manufacturing companies in New England." This is the result of high tariffs on goods that all the peopl e use and free trade in the "pauper labor" that prod uces them. The one man who could talk of the weather yesterday without indulging in pro fanity was Serget. Dunn, who riues the cold and hot waves at the Weather Bureau Office, under the roof of the Equitable Building. The Sergeant was quitcly calm when he discovered that the mercury touch ed 00.06 at 3 P.M. He merely glanced ove.- his records, and when he came to June 22, 1S72, struck a pin there. "It was 94 on that day," he remarked. "To-day is the hottest 22d of lune in fifteen years. Last Wednesday the thermometer reached 91.2, which is the highest notch reached this year." ' Scth Low,an influential republican lead er of Brooklyn.New York,has bolted Har rison and comes out for Cleveland. This will prove a serious loss to the republicans, as Mr. Low is a man of much influence in Brooklyn.,. In that city alone it will be worth more than a thousand votes to Cleveland. Sir John Rose.the partner in the banking business of Levi P. Mdrton, the republican candidate for Vice-President, is a British baronet. British gold is to be called into requisition to help elect Harrison. Eveay poor man should rejoice that Penn. sylvania has never taken ottar of roses off the free list, There is no tariff duty on ottar of roses. A poor man may buy a bucket ful of oiiar of roses every day if he desir es it, He may have to put his children in coffee sacks, but he cannot complain that his perfumery is taxed. To the Thinking People of Albany Friends : Inasmuch 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 neighbor. We wish o deviate rom that rule and make the following state ments, knowing that they will be appre ciated by all lovers of truth and justice. W are here in business for the purpose of making money and we realize that in order to rccomplish that object we must have a continuance of our large patronage. Furth ermore we know that this can be assured only by extreme effort on our part and we wish to state that we will at all times give you first-class goods at prices as low or lower than any house in Albany and in ad dition allow you 5 per cent off on all cash pu. chases. The statement made by some dealers that they can buy cheaper than others 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.
