e JJatlu .Democrat The democrats ol Ohio will open their m paign on September the I7lh. It u unfortunate that Campbell, their candidate for governor shouldget sick at the outset of the campaign. With the chances nearly all against them it is discouraging to the democrats who hare manfully waged so many unequal contests in that state. McKinley and .Sherman indicate, (and o does president Harrison) that the re pub licans, on the silver question, will take a position In favor of the free coinage of all the silver bullion produced In the mines of the United States. Surely this ought to satisfy the mine owners. No silver dem ocrat or farmer alliance man should ask for more. Then let the incoming con gress so legislate and settle the whole question. In discussing the grain shortage today theLondon Standard advlsea the consump tion of malze,saying the United States could expert 400,000,000 bushels cf maize, and that an extra shilling a bushel would at tract all the American maize necessary to supply Europe with wholesome food. The Standard adds: "Therefore we can feel assured that there will he an abundance ol grain for the people of the world, although we must be prepared to see wheat much higher." An Invitation has been extended to Mc Klnley by Prof 11 S Lehr to address the students of the Ohio Normal Academy at Ada. An Invitation had previously been ex tended Gov. Campbell, who through a note accepted, expressing his willingness to meet Maj. McKlnley in joint debate. The latter accepted the invitation of Prof. Lehr, and a debate will therefore be ar ranged between these party leaders to take place probably some time in September. What in the world aie the German people kicking against the grain duties for? Don't they know that these duties are paid by the foreigners who ship grain into Germany? Don't they know that the higher the duties the cheaper the grain? Have they never read Mc -Kinley's treatises on taxation? II they fear a grain famine they should ask the government to increase the duties on grain, and thus cheap en it, rather than to repeal them. Their present action is calculated to make Mr Mc Kinley appear ridiculous when he tells the Ohio folks that a tariff is not a tax, An invitation from nine prominert republi cans of Columbus, Ohio, has been extended to Alfred E Lee, asking him to address them and the people of Columbus on the tariff question, and published in an evening paper, has created a sensation in political circles here, Lee is a strong republican, and was United States consul to Frankfort-on-the-Main, under President Hayes, but he has re cently written a number of articles for the local press sharply criticizing the McKinley bill. In the invitation, the writers of the com munication say: We hold to the old time doctrine of Ohio republicans and favor a tariff for revenue so adjusted as to tecure incidental protection to American industry. Believing you entertain the same views substantially and knowing that you were a gallant soldier through all the years of the war and a consistent and active republican for thirty-rive years of your life, we shall take pleasure in listening io your arguments. Capt, Lee, in reply, accepted and named Sept, 5 as the date of his address. The names signed to the address arc those of George II Twigs, a leading book dealer; 'M C Howard, lately a candidate for representative: A V Rogers, president of the Consolidated Street Railway Co.; W G Dunn, leading dry goods merchant; George D Tones, prominen attorney; George T Spahr, manager of the large printing establishment; V C Ward, A S Hentig, and Gen John Beattly, President Citizen's Savings Bank, WUKUE 13 P, KUAN? Where is P. Egan, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the United Slates to Chill, at a salary of ?to, 000 a year? The United States learns officially of Balmaceda's downfnll from Its consul at Valparaiso, not from Its minister at Santi ago. The latter is silent. Possibly he Is cut off from communication. Or his acute Buffering at the defeat of the dictator, of whom he was an abject tool, may have so prostrated this great diplomat ol Nebraska that he has not sufficiently recovered to Inform his government of the news. The blow Is a sad one to the Egana, We say to the Egans because there was more than One of them. There was Egan pere and Egan fils. Egan pere sneezed whenever Balmaceda took snuff. Egan fils through the obsequiousness and grasping of Egan pere had a place soft sinecure, under the now discredited and defeated government. Mr Egan, a revolutionists In Ireland, was against revolution In Chill; a professional declalmer against a tyrant's chains, he was in Chill an advocate of chains ad lib. Itum, and was advising the state depart ment that caused the 1,000-mile chase ol the Itata that legitimate government, sa cred In the person ol the place-provider of his hopeful, would prevail against Its enemies. Where at this Important and Interesting Juncture Is Mr Egan? Mr Blaine's discharge of his campaign debts ol 1SS4 to the great Irish republican contingent may acquit him ol claims upon nn resignation as an official . hut It hr For the past lew weeks the New York World has been placing its columns at the disposal of leading champions of the McKinley tariff, but now it has dc:lared the debate closed on that side of the house, and the tariff reformers will be heard in the same way, Yesterday the tariff-reform series was opened by David A Wells, ol Connecticut, in a long and able article on the effects of the wool torift Mr Wells proves beyond doubt that the most striking result of the high tax on raw woo has been to develop the shoddy industry in a remarkable degree. To establish his points he quotes some interesting figures. Previous to i860 snoddy was used only for padJing and stuffing saddles and the like. During the war it came into use as 1 factor in cloth ing maaufacturs, under the incentive of army contracts. In 1878 the domestic annual con sumption of shoddy was reported at about 19,372,000 pounds, and in 1889 at an amount equivalent to about 70,000,000 pounds of un washed wool, According to the census o' SSo 41 per cent, of the material that consti tuted the so called woolen fabrics cf he country was something that was not wool It Is too bad that almost on the very day Major McKinley delivered his beautiful perc- ra'ion about the protective tariff "securely skidding American labor from the degrading competition ol the old World" the Traders and Labor Assembly of Chicago should find that mahy women in that ciiy are working twelve or thirteen hours daily for $1.50 per week. Perhaps it would be a wise plan, since protective tariffs are such good things, to let Chicago have one all by herself. Her women might then be able to earn $2 per week. The Farmer's Alliance convention in Missouri refused to adopt the sub-treasury scheme. Sensible MissourUns.
