This introduction was received with round
of applause by the audience. After this Mr.. G..
proceeded to state the reasons why he is in
sympathy with so much of the prohibition
movement as relates to State concerns very
distinctly announcing that from the terms of
the CALL in which he participated, he is not
bound by so much of the action of the Pro

ticket. The call contemplated nothing of the

officials must be peremptOrily dismissed to
make places for that many Democrats. This
was supplemented fortnight ago by
the summary discharge of an official
at Albany N. Y, because he dared
preside at meeting in the interest
of General Buffers candidacy. And now, to
crown this precious pair of reformers, Gov.
Cleveland has ordered out the New York Ma
tional Guard ostensibly for review, although
it is apparent enough that the sole purpose is
to make demonstration that may be con-
strued as compliment to himself. 1t will
afford him opportunity to write and commit a
speech suitable to the occasion, which will be
quite help to him, since it is acknowledged
that without careful preparations he can say
absolutely nothing.

EXPERIENCE OF OLD MEN,

IT, in their eagerness to read our account OF
the magnificent reception of Mr.. Blaine, the
representative of the American idea of protec-
ton, any of our readers overlooked the first
two columns of the twelfth page of yester-
days journal, we earnestly request them to
hunt up the paper and read those three short
papers. They are "reminiscences Of three old
men, hundreds of miles apart, written without
either ever having seen or heard of the others,
and they embody in substance the converse
tons Of all the old men in the country, when
contrasting the present with the past what
ever may be now or was then, their
political affiliations. The papers are
worth the study of the young men, especially,
who are signalling their entrance intopolitical
life by very able dissertations on free trade.
Boys get chock full of free trade at colleges.
Mr.. Blaine said the other day, at Ann Arbor
University, that he was crammed with it
when boy, but the experience of manhood
has shown him how little he knew when q
boy, and how little college professors know,
whose knowledge is obtained from books.
The first of these papers is from j. W;
Scott, of Yorktown, Delaware county, and
shows from an old ledger of his fathers what
prices were in Delaware county forty to fifty
years ago, under free trade, and what they
are now under proteotion-trace chains then

iron 10 1-2, now 9 cents; salt ~ now

from A. A. Dunihue, merchant for more
than fifty years in Bedford. In the good old
Democratic days Of Jackson and Van Buren,,
under free trade, such a wagon load Of cOun-
try produce as then brought $13 would now,
under twenty years of protection, bring $4,000,

can take home with him $50. IS in cash--good

G.. W. Ryan, now of this city, but mechan-
ic in Cincinnati forty to forty-fve years ago
when Democracy and free trade ruled the
prices, showing that the disasters of Demo
cratic policy invaded our chief cities as well
as the rural districts. He can buy a better
suit of clothes to-day with six days work than
he could then with eighteen days. He thinks
that mechanics and farmers cannot afford to
return to Democratic management.

A NEW YORK minister has evolved deep
scheme for getting money out of the pockets of
his parishioners At pastors meeting recent
ly held, the question of raising church debts
was discussed, and the following plan proposed
by one of the reverend brethren was most favor
ably received. He holds it to be the duty of
each congregation to pay its own debts, but rec
ommends that all preliminary arrangements to
such end be kept strictly secret from the mem
bers. When all should be in readiness plans
should be announced and a feeling of enthusi-
asm awakened. This enthusiasm could be
brought about through the crafty efforts of the
pastor himself, who should as part of the
cret performances, have urged upon his flock the
duty of praying for the liquidation of the debt.
He would wisely refrain from any
suggestion of subscriptions, but repeat the
hint as to prayers from time to
time. After the devout brethren
and sisters had continued to pray for financial
aid for reasonable period, it would says this
sly preacher, suddenly dawn upon them that
