The Democratic Swindle.

The platform of the democracy
is n deliberate swindle upon the
workngmen of our country. 1t means
absolutely nothing in regard to the
question of protection, and yet it is so
worded that the democracy may 60 before
the laboring men of this country and
claim that it stands for what it is not.
General Butler exposed the hypocritical
character of the platform before the dem
ocratic national convention. In that
convention he said: II object to
1.-THE tariff plank of the platform
adopted by your committee. Tor it
took them thirty-six hours to frame it
"Tlaughter - and if it took those able
"gentlemen that time TO frame it and get
ait into form. there must be some reason
"for that paiustaking If they could not
"fnd words to say what they meant in
"thirty-six hours, how are my labOring
s'men to find out what it means in their
dinner hour Laughter The tariff
plank of the platform should be so that
che who runs may read. Applause. J
a. Read your committees tariff
"plank. and then say if you can find out
"what it does mean, Applause. But
at does not mean protection. If it did
Colonel Morrison is too honest man to
bring il mere. And yet it is twisted so
that the committee hope that laboring
"men may think it does mean protection
a. -" You say nowhere in your platform
"that YOU will discriminate in favor OF the
"working men and women OF the country
General Butler ought to be good author
ity in this matter, for he was member OF
the committee which framed the demo-
cratic platform. and endeavored to get
into il an endorsement of protection to the
labor OF this country, but, rs is seen above
in the quotation from his remarks, he en-
tirely failed The platform is swiudle.
Let workingmen beware of democrats
who pretend that ii is in favor Of protec.
ton to their interests.

Disarming Prejudices.

The opinions of that old fashioned and con
seryatlve democratic paper, the Journal of
Commerce, in reference to Mr. Blaine's letter
Of acceptance, are especially notable and in
teresting. No paper represents SO exclusively
the opinions and the prtjudices of our solid
business men. None was more likely to an
tagonize the 'Jingoism" imputed to Mr.
Blaine, but not disclosed in his letter Says
this paper;
The letter of Mr.. Blaine accepting the nomination
OF the Republican party to the highest office in the
gilt of the people is a mastery production. Logical
in its STYLE shrewd in its aims and strong in its
ray OF every available force for his own advantage,
1t deserves and must command universal attention.
As IA whole the letter will strengthen Mr..
1t Is carefully drawn, and presents plausible view
OF the further gain to be made by placing his wing
OF the Republican party in power, and the disasters
likely to result if the opposition should be
full.
The Importance of such respectable and
even complimentary, treatment of Mr..
Blalne's acceptance by paper so pecul-
iarly representing the most conservative
elements of our business world as the old
journal Of Commerce is not likely to be
overestmated. The truth is. that Mr..
Blalnes letter went far beyond mere gem
eralltIes and promises in regard to the
domestic and foreign politics rs To which our
business classes are most sensitive aud were
most apprehensive. He presented with abso-
Lutte clearness and simplicity the reasons why
he could not, as President, fluff the predc-
tons of his enemies by risking war with Eu
ropean countries or by terrorizing the South
American Republics His statements of the
situation; of the opportunities for peaceful
trade conquests; of the advantages of a
peaceful foreign policy all around and of the
power of the Republic to sustain itself and to
enter on NV career of commercial devel-
opment-thrse have disarmed honest appre-
tensions, and have silenccd the attacks of all
of MIR. Blalne's enemies who are amenable
