WE'LL TOLD.

"Uncle Jake" zicgler, of the Butler
Herald, "points with pride to few
facts which deserve the careful perusal
Of every voter: ave have heard men
say, we have tried both parties and
found them failures This is not the
truth. When the Democratic party
was in power before the war, who
ever heard of dangerous strikes in the
mines, on railroads and in the work.
shops ? Who ever heard OF tramps by
the thousands, hundreds, fifties and
tens, in the land2 Who ever heard OF
men pleading for work and clamoring
for bread ? Who ever heard of mo-
nopoly debating to labor and forcing
the country into bankruptcy? And
why2 Because the policy of the par
ty was to preserve just equilibrium
between capital and labor and thus
promote the prosperity and security of
both-to preserve intact the institu-
tions of the country as the fathers Of
the republic made them. But the de-
sire for power became an overmaster-
ing one, and politicians without honor
or principle, sought by any and means,
however disreputable, to attain it.
They succeeded, and in the destruc-
tion of the policies pursued alike by
the old Democrats and Wings, the
Pandora box of political evils was
opened, and from that day to this
there has been nothing but going from
good to bad and from bad to worse"

THE CURSE OF RADICAL RULE

The editor Of the Columbia Herald
pertinently remarks "The old Fed

cd upon the doctrine that "a national
debt is national blessing, as il CEN

Of capitalists, who thereby have the
greater interest a, stake, is beginning

ton. We cannot be too watchful in
this respect. The great glory of any
country, and especially OF the United
States, has boon in the independence
and prosperity OF her industrial inter-
csts, the equalization of wealth, and
the absence of everything in the char.
acter Of privileged classes. No change
over took place in this respect more
rapidly than has been experienced in
this country during the past decade.
Wealth has concentrated with marvel
GUS rapidity. millionaires have become
abundant, of set by tramps and power
ty toa frightful extent. The old Federal
doctrine OF take care of the rich and
the rich will take care Of the poor
was met by the Democratic dogma of
take care Of the poor, the rich can
take care of themselves Capital is
always strong in comparison to labor (;
the greater the protection is therefore

ANOTHER CoNTkAsT-AFRIcA AND
DuSKLE.-A party honors itself when
1t nominates man for office who pos.
sesses peculiar qualifications for the
position, but q party shows contempt
for the people when it nomlnates a
man for a high position who possesses
no qualifications at all for the place.
Thus it is with the candidates for
Secretary of internal Affairs. The
Democratic nominee, Mr. Africa, is a
practical surveyor and civil engineer
of many years experience. His pro
fession has made him familiar with sur
veys, land titles, warrants, etc, rail
roads, mining and all other interests
connected with the duties of Secretary
of the Department OF Internal Affairs.
Now for the contrast. Mr.. Dunkel,
the Republican nominee, is a printer
and editor and proprietor OF Sunday
newspaper. After coming over all the
newspapers published on the SIX usual
days CT labor he comes out with his
Sunday issue and this is the only ex-
perience he has to quality him for the
head Of the important Department for
which he is the Republican nominee
and candidate 1t would bo a bur
lesque on common sense TO elect such q
man as Dunkel TO such an office.

A COMMERCIAL OUTRAaE.-We no
ticc by our exchanges that the freight
rates over the Union Pacific railroad
to San Francisco have been doubled.
Jay Gould, having effectively employ
ed the Washington lobby to defeat an
open highway to the Pacific, has felt
safe in doubling the freight charges
over his line. By and by the mass Of
the people, who are directly interested
in transcontinental trade and travel,
will stop the business of plunderers
employing the stolen money of the
government to defeat competing high
ways from the Eastern to the Western
seas. Until there is another through
route Of railroad built to the Pacific
ocean, these outrages will be continu.
cd. The people in selfdefencc must
eventually build competing line, nc
difference what the cost will be. 1t is
far better to contract square debt
and get rid of a lot of commercial free.

EDITORIAL BLAoKGUARDIsM. - Our
profession, like all others, contains
some "black sheep" In our editorial
experience Of seventeen years, we have
occasionally noticed some very mean
and unbecoming articles In the columns
of a few newspapers, whose editors as.
sumed to be gentlemen. How they
squared the account, we never learned.
We now allude to the department Of

tee. If any Democratic editor should
treat Mr.. Quay in a similar manner,
we will help to cruelty him in some
way. For pure vulgarity, Mr.. Ty-
hurst wears the belt Personally, we
do not know him, and we have been
told by some OF his neighbors that he
is gentleman. He may be 30 in the
social circle, but as an editor he is q
blackguard, and he advcrtiscs himself
as such in the columns of his paper.

CoMMuSIsrIc VIEw.--The editor ol
the Wheeling Register, fails TO see the
propricty of turning Communist, but
practically dwells on the subject in this
way Beer costs ss barrel in New

Schwaub, who, il is said, retails 200
kegs at every large Communistic meet

down the throats of down-trodden
workingmen, who like to hear speakers
prate Of their starving families. Enough
money is thus spent in five such meet

boldest robberies now being carried oui
is that perpetrated by the Radical Con,

ton Of Democratic Demagogueism, u
etc, and headed Supplement, printed in
Washington, and sent out to Radical
newspaper publishers by the thousand,
who fold them inside Of their papers,
and send them to their readers, and in

Mr.. John Sherman. Secretary Of the

Tecumseh Sherman, described tho nd.

but Mr.. Sherman Processes to have
made himselffamiliar with the subject,
and he was supporter of Grant. II
is proposed TO re-clect General Grant.
Since he went out Of Office he has
spent his time courting honors from
the monarchical Governments Of the
Old World. He has been studying
those governments. There Is no rea.
son TO expect that, If reelected, he
would mako an administration any.
