Daily Dctiiocriitt
The New York World says :
"Subway Commissioner Jacob Hess was
at the I loffman I louse at to o'clock yeater
day morning looking for Myron Dangs,
who, It was alleged, had offered to bet $ lo,
ooo to $14,000 on Cleveland's election, but
when Mr. Bangs came in he declared that
Mr. Hess had "made fun of him" and de
clined to bet. Then Mr. I less offered to
make it $16,003 to $20,000, and a book
keeper 6ent him word that he would take
that bet last night. Commissioner Hess
was at the hotel again last night waiting
for the bookmaker. He was afraid that he
wouldn't come.
"Don't let that trouble you," said Con .
tractor Richard Cunningham. "If he
doesn't take it, I will."
Mr. Hess said he would see Mr. Cunning
ham later. Mr. Cunningham also offered
to bet $500 even that Cleveland would car
ry every Northern State he did in lSS-(,but
found no takers. Later in the evening Mr.
Cunningham bet Commissioner Hess $2,
000 to $1,600 on Cleveland, and the papers
were drawn up. Mr. Cunningham also
offered to bet $10,000 to $7,ooo,or any part
of it, on Hill's election,but the offer was not
accepted. Mr. Cunningham is a candidate
for Mayor.
E. B. 1'alcott and Stephen French, of the
Stock Exchange, made a $500 wager, at
evens, on the Presidential result."
The republican county convention held
at Austin, Texas, a few days ago, voted
down a resolution introduced by one of the
white delegates recommending that the
State Convent'on put. no straight republi
can ticket in the field, because, in the Inn
guage of the resolution, "it U a well-known
fact in this state that republicans in a great
many counties have been terrorized, pro
scribed, socially and otherwise ; hundreds
have been murdered, others have been re
quired to leave their homes and seek homes
in other states : thousands of voters have
been intimidated and through fear have
emained away from the polls, and thereby
filed to exercise the right of suffrage as
guaranteed to them by the constitution. ''
The convention was composed largely of
colored men and it voted the resolution
down by a vote of 63 to 16. One of the
negroes s.id he would not vote for what he
knew to be a lie and was loudly applauded
Mr. James Metns, the great shoe man
ufacturer, whose establishment has never
known a strike of any description, has is
sued a neat pamphlet for the instruction of
his employes, In which, at the request of
many of them, he explains why a prohibi
tive tariff does not protect the working
men. In conclusion he says : "Our fight
is before us ; the plan of ouf campaign Is
all laid. We shall elect tariff reform Con
grcssmen,and we shall show the feeling of
the voters of the whole country by electing
a tariff reform president in aright made on
the tariff reform issue. We shall win, be
cause the years which have passed since
the last election have Increased our strength
The great uprising has begun, and we who
are earnest in the right need fear no fail
ure."
That was a home thrust of Mr. Mills in
his Brooklyn speech In which he enumer
ated the taxes removed from the rich bv
the republicans and mentioned the burdens
left uon the poor.
The taxes abolished by these professed
guardians of workingmcn included those
on incomes, on railroads, on banks,on tele
grapli and express companies, on manufac
tures (3 per cent only) and on articles of
import not produced in this country
chiefly luxuries.
These were all taxes on the rich. And
the republicans repealed them. More than
75 per cent of the existing tariff taxes are
collected upon articles of universal neces
sity. The poor pay the ame rate as the
rich a most unj ust and oppressive arrange
ment. And these taxes the republican
platform promises to retain,even if whisky
and tobac-.o must be freed to do It. Let the
people think about it.
It is the opinion of the Chicago Herald
(Ind.) that Gen. Harrison made a fatal ad
mission in his speech last Saturday to the
Irish-Americans who visited at Indianapo
lis. Says the Herald:
He allowed it to appear that although the
lot of woman had been made softer and
easier under the beneficent influence of the
protective system she was still burdened
with the cares of motherhood. He should
have insisted that protection diminishes
the pains of maternity, gets up in the night
to warm baby's catnip tea and walks the
floor with baby when it cries.
Nearly all the faculty at Wcsleyan Uni
versity at Middlctown, Connecticut, will
this year vote for the democratic nominee
for President and Vicc-l'rcsidcnt. Thlsan-liouncc.-.icnt
is made upon the best of au
thority, but as your correspondent has not
had an opportunity of talking with the
faculty names arc not mentioned. The
gentjemen In question have heretofore act
ed and voted with the republicans. 1

"The wages of the workins people re
main about the same ; in fact, they are so,
low that they could not well be much low
er. As it it, the laboring population of the
empire have a constant battle to wage
against want and misery. Hardly any man
of family Is able to earn enough to support
his family in the simplest manner without
being aided by Ids wife in some way.They
eat the plainest food and dwell in forbid-ding-lookine,
overcrowded tenements, and
oftentimes a whole family dwell together
In one room. Meat in some parts of the
empire is a luxury obtained but once or
twice a ween. .Long hours of labor.scanty
fare, and poor compensation is the rule
among them. Black bread and potatoes
make up the chief diet of many of them.
They cannot live with any decency on the
wages they get."
Any one in the habit of reading republi-
n newspapers would asseverate on a
stack of Books divine that the above Is de
scriptlve of the condition of labor people
in England. But such is not the case. On
the contrary it describes the condition of
labor people in Germany where "protec
tion is the established policy of the gov
ernment. It is an extract from an officer
of government showing the condition of
labor.
Speaker Carlise condensed into one sen
tence the unanswerable argument for an
extended free list: "With cheaper raw
materials the cost of production will be
diminshed, the manufacturer will have a
wider market for his products, the laborer
will have more constant employment and
the consumer will obtrin his supplies at
lower prices." To abolish these taxes is also
to surely cut down the surplus.
Senator Sherman in a recent interview
said that the tariff should be 'revised and
reduced, that he is opposed to taking the
tax off of whisky and that the bloody shirt
is a thing of the past. If Senator Sherman
continues on his honesty policy the first
thing he Knows he w ill find himself in the
Democratic party.
