CLEVELAND'S PECULIAR ALLIES
N. Y. SIM Den.

N. Y. Sun (Den.)
There is no doubt that the Republican support
ers of Blaine have very strong point on thir
side in the circumstance that the deseners from
the 9srtty tiekst IRE largely free traders ani@re
Here in New York the two Republican newSa-
pers which have exercised the most powerful in
huence in bringing about the Republican reolt
are both opposed to the protection policy. The
Erening Post has always been free trade Orgn,
and it was never more 80 than it is now. 1t
stands at The front of the agitation in behalf of
"revenue reform" as it calls it, by which il mem
a tariff solely for revenue and with no protection
in it..
The Times also has been for several years last
a persistent advocate of the same doctrine. 1t
has ridiculed the protectionist planks in Reprbi-
can platforms, and its support of its party has
really been inconsistent with its principles a to
the tariff. So strong are its convictions on tat
subject, and so pronounced have been its utter
ances, that we do not how it could honesty
have advocated the election of any candidates
form which commits the party fatty and unms-
takably to protection.
1t was only question of time, therefore, whn
these two journals would revolt against the Re
publican party, which clings with increasing
tenacity to tariff doctrines and the nomination
Of Blaine gave them the opportunity to declare
their independence. They did not belong among
the Republicans. They were in false position
exceedingly irksome to men of decided convictions.
Of course, the immediate occasion of their bolt
was not the tariff planks of the Chicago platform.
They hated Blaine and all that he represented. -
But it was not hard for them to go, for they were
in small and hopeless minority of their party.
Moreover, the course of the Democratic majority
in the House in eecting Carlisle Speaker, and in
painting their party in free-trade colors, gavethe
Times and Ece"ing Post n strong incentive to
abandon Republicanism based on protection.
1t is doubtless true, moreover, that if all the
Republican boilers against Blaine are not Free
traders, at least all the ee-traders in the party
are on that SIDE Of course they are there. They
must be there, for the key-no of Blaines can
vass is protection. But will such allies help or
hurt Cleveland? Will he gain or lose votes in his
own party because the free-traders are for him?
1t seems to us that the answers to those Ques-
tons are very easy. And what chance is there of
the election of Cleveland with the labor vote
massed against him?

A CONTRAST-READ AND REFLECT.
Ne,o York Tribune.


Do the workmen Of this country want British
wages3 Ifso, they can vote for Cleveland and
British free-trade. Let US see what the results
are likely to be. The Massachusetts Labor Report
compares wages paid in the most important
branches Of industry, which embraces in this
country about 1000, 900 workers in factories and
mills. In cotton mills the average wages paid
weekly in Great Britain were $4.66; in Massa-
chusetts seas. Wages in other States are, as is
we'll known, higher than in Massachusetts,, be-
cause of the density Of the population there, but
the Massachusetts, wages are 80 per cent. higher
than those paid in Great Britain.
Take woollen manufacture next. The average
paid in Great Britain, according to this report
was $4.79; in Massachusetts, S6.92; advantage
for Massachusetts, workmen, Al per cent.
In the working of metals, wages paid in Great
Britain average S7.40; in Massachusetts, SLIPS
advantage for Massachusetts workmen, 50 per
cent.
In machinery and foundries wages paid in
Great Britain were 1904; in Massachusetts SLID
increase 70 per cent.
In glass works the average paid in Great Britain
was Sc "a; in Massachusetts, Sl2.2S; increase n
per cent.
In printing average wages paid in Great Britain
were 1852; in Massachusetts Sll.37 increase in
| Massachusetts, LOG per cent
| In boots and shoes the average wages paid 10
Great Britain wereS4.37; in Massachusetts Sll 90
| increase 166 per cent
These are fair illustrations of the difference II
wages in manufacture. But fully one-haif the
| labor of this country is employed in agriculture.
In that branch, according to Sir James Caird''
latest statement, the average in Great Britain
| oven in the most favored counties, was about ST.
| monthly, without board in the southern counties
the average was less than 50. But in the United
States, according to the report of the Agriculture
Bureau, the average wages paid to agriculture
laborers per month, without board, were $685.
| In these few statements we have photograph
of the comparative condition of great proportion
| of the laborers in the two countries. What dt
workmen think of it? Are they seized with 6
| burning desire to elect Cleveland, to give powe
to the Democratic party, and to enjoy the bless
| ings of British free trade?

GS-The lion IN. W newspaper, which was
recently issued from type set up BY type-setting
machine, says that 1.-TWO operatives are required
for the setting machine-one to manipulate the
key-board and one to space, while the distributor
requires about half the time of an attendant to
feed the lines to it. The capacity of the setting
machine is 5000 ems per hour, and no power
other than the lingering of the keyboard is re-
quired This distributor is automatic in its dis
tributiOn of the letters, and has capacity equal
to the setting machine. The face of the type is
not touched in its passage through either machine.
Type can be se. and distributed at considerably
less than half the cost of hand labor" The aver
age speed of an ordinary compositor is 1900 ems
per hour, but there are men who have set 1000
per hour.

THE PAST and PRESENT-1944a and 1884
". Y. Sun (Dem.)

". Y. San (Dem.)
Doubtless great majority of the Democrats in
the Northern States lying east of Indiana are in
favor of protection to American industry. They
have a light to know from his OWL lips how Grover
Clevelan stands on this vital question. They
press him, but he is as dumb the subject as the
machine which is running his Presidential cam
paign. Is he trying to get elected by cheating
the people as to his real views?
In 1912 Congress passed protective tariff
Slas Wright. model Democrat was in the SEN
ate, and voted for the bill, and John Tyler, who
was then President, signed it. In 1914 Henry
Clay and James X. Polk were the Wing and Dem
ocratic candidates for President. Geo. M. Dallas,
of Pennsylvania, was the Democratic candidate
for Vice President.
The tariff was one of the main issues in the
contest of 1914. Mr.. Clay was universally known
to be protectionist. Indeed he had long been
the most distinguished advocate in the country of
that policy. The doubtful point was as to the
position of Mr.. Polk.
In the Northern and Eastern States Folks sup
porters declared him to be as good tariff man
and as trustworthy prOtectionist as Clay. Penn
sylvania was a strong tariff State, and the election
was likely to turn upon its vote. All through the
exciting contest the Democrats of many portions
of Pennsylvania inscribed their banners the
motto: "Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of AZ :" In
New York Mr.. Wright, who was running for Gov
ernor, made many able speeches in support of
Polk, and represented him as sound on the tariff
and he doubtless believed what he said.
Now what was the result? Polk was elected,
the tariff of 1912 was repealed in 1916, and bill
was passed by Democratic Congress in its stead
which went long way in the direction of free
trade. Vice President Dallas favored the bill and
President Polk signed it.
In short, the Democrats of the North and East
who favored protection to American industry were
deceived and cheated by their Presidential candi-
date in 1874.
How will it be with the protectionist Democrats
in the present contest? viii they allow them
selves to be deceived and cheated by Grover Glove
land as their fathers were by James X. Polk forty
years ago?

~0ne of the leading Democratic country
newspapers Of New Jersey, that has been giving
. warm support to Cleveland and Hendricks, last
week took their names from the head Of its edito-
rial columns, put up those of Blaine and Logan,
and in lengthy editorial announced that it would
give its best efforts to the success Of the Republic
can ticket. The principal reason assigned for
this somersault is the position of the Democratic
party on the tariff and the general disposition of
the party to hoodwink the people of the country
by trying to be on both sides of every important
question at the same time. This IL significant.

The grand old Buckeye State has come back to
her first love and on Tuesday rolled up an old
time majority of over 900 for the Republican
party. The battle was the hardest fought in that
State for years, and up to the very last moment
the Democrats claimed that they would win, de-
spite the signs of the times, which indicated a
Republican triumph. The present Democratic
Governor (Hoadley) was elected last year by near
ly $4,000 majority. This has been swept away
and in its stead magnificent Republican MAORI
ty has been rolled up, indicating that the party is
united and ready to march on to victory in Novem
Der. The route is complete and the shattered
forces of the moss backed Democracy will not be
able to rally for the great battle of next month.
The tariff was the issue in the Ohio campaign
and on this alone the Republicans made gain Of
FIVE Congressman This shows the temper of
the people on the subject of free trade with which
the Democracy is weighted and which dooms it
to certain defeat.
In the little State of West Virginia (which was
known to be hopeIessly Democratic) the Republic
cans made gallant fight, and whilst they did not
succeed in electng any of their State officers they
did cut down the Democratic majority very large
ly, and the party is in splendid fighting trim for
next month, when they hope to carry the State for
Blaine and Logan.
The Republican skies are very bright and the
outlook is most cheering Victory next month
is already assured

Z9> One of the small devices of the Democrats
and their allies, the campaign draws to a close,
is to announce the conversion to "reform' of some
stanch supporters of Blaine and Logan. The vic
tim of the falsehood promptly denounces it, but
no notice is taken of his denial, and the indepen-
dent press chronicles one more triumph for Cleve-
land. In few days, of course, the real fact be-
comes known, when this particular "boom" is
dropped and another is started. No one who has
not the opportunity of examining great number
of newspapers published in all parts of the coun-
try can conceive the extent to which this petty
swindle is carried on

= -"The vilest set of political assassins that
ever disgraced themselves in this or any other

gives of the people who are now pursuing Mr..
Blaine with Sian Ter. Then he continued, "Why,

with him in the House of Representatives for
eight years, and in the Senate for two years. '
Don't the American people know the difference
between honesty and knavery?" Indeed they do,

A Prominent Clergyman on Cleveland.

In recent interview with a representative of
prominent newspaper the Rev. DR.. Storrs said
'Since the nominations were made the character
of the only other candidate who can by possbl-
ty be elected (Mr. Ceveland) has received fatal
wound-fatal, that is, to any just aspirations on
his part toward the Presidency. The suggestion
that a man whose history is stained with admitted
RIGHTEOUSNESS may yet properly and deliberately
be put ut the head Of the Nation must certainly
be secuted. Forgiveness is one thing. Popular
coronation is quite another. Ethics must surely
take precedence of politics. 1t would seem to me,
certainly, grave offence against tho family,
against the public honor for chaste womanhood,
against the divine law of purity against the essen
tial welfare of the State to contribute to elevate
to the highest Office in the gift of his countrymen
man with loose woman in his train and an
illegitimate son. can hardly imagine anything
of worse example to the multtudes of young men
who are dangerously tempted, and who need
whatever succor to their virtue may come from a
supporting and imperative public sentiment. It
would seem to me to make the Nation at large, if
not the positive patron Of lewdness, at least the
careless apologist for it. 1t would put dishonor
upon the American name among all Christian
peoples cannot imagine that the conscience
of the country has reached point of numb weak
ness where such thing ia possible"
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1884-10-18

GS>T That was u strong statement by Rev. DR..
Warren, in his earnest and effective letter on the
fc ss.fu, Il wouru rather thousand times take
upon my soul all the guilt have been able to find
in the Mulligan letters than to be the author Of
such allegations against Mr.. Blaine as see week
Iy even in religious papers of high pretension."-
Is there not sound reason here? What crime can
be more despicable, or to the country moro dan
gerous, than that of SANDER, malicious defama-
tion distorting the facts in order to dee reputa-
ton, deliberate manufacture of evidence persist
ent repetition of charges many times proved false?
One thing is certain human instincts are right
in despisng such cowardly liars and slanderers
more than any thief in or out of State prison.
