The Cause of Beecher's Change.

The Cause of Beecher's Change.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 No one need wonder why the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is making speeches for Cleve- land and free trade. We have all read the advertisement wherein the reverend gentle man says he has suffered from hay fever and that it 'makes a frantic beast of man, D or words to that effect. And now that he has arrayed himself against the Republican party we believe his words true and that the malady has killed the man (Henry Ward Beecher) and left only frantic beast. But not being content with this he wishes to pose before the people as the king of beasts in the great moral show of Cleveland, Beecher and Barnum* Co. Accepting his own words, we must admit that this fatal disease hay fever has not left an iota of the old Beecher, but only his wreck. This being true, whatever he may say can have but little weight, for no one can believe a frantic man, much less a beast. MONROE.

 Among the Democratic campaign literature industriously circulated is a pamphlet in which the claim is made that the weekly wages of a laboring man in the United States buy less of the necessaries of life to-day than in 1860, and that alleged result is charged to Republican rule. It is monstrous assump- tion, but fortunately laboring men know bet ter. To substantiate the untenable position therein taken it is asserted that the 1aborer who in 1860 earned $5. 50 a week could then purchase herewith about
 7S pounds of rice.
 or 153 pounds of family flour.
 S416 pounds of corned beef.
 or 50 pounds of salt pork.
 But every laboring man knows that to-day S5.50 will buy at least
 80 pounds of rice
 more than 200 pounds of family four.
 more than 50 pounds of salt pork.
 and fully as much corned beef as in 1860.
 This is true in New Haven, according to plenty of advertisements in our daily news papers, and it is, doubtless, fully as true throughout the country. Everybody knows, or ought to know, that to-day, although we are in a period of some depression, the aver age wages of laboring men are more than S5.50 week. The laboring men of the Uni ted States are in point of fact much better of to-day than in 1860 in spite of Democratic efforts to convince them that many years of Republican rule have nearly ruined them.
 But, says Democratic newspaper, 'tall this Republican talk about tariff is trash The wages of workingmen are determined by the law of supply and demand and not by a protective tariff or free trade. y True enough, supply and demand" do de- termine wages, but it is equally true that if to-day free trade could take the place of pro lection in the United States vast numbers of our great manufacturing establishments would be closed; the supply of labor would be excessive the F'demand" limited Those establishments that might continue on would avail themselves of labor at any price that they might choose to pay, while thou sands would be unemployed; cry of agony would go up through all the laud; bankrupt cy and confusion would be the common lot; and when, after period of such depression as this country has seen, business might adjust itself to the new conditions, labor would inevitably be forced to accept wages more in consonance with those paid abroad This is no mere alarmist cry. It should be remembered that thousands of la borers abroad seldom taste meat unless, per chance, bit of bacon on Sunday, and that their wages are hardly half what employees in like occupations receive here. Gan our own manufacturers pay anything like what they now pay if the foreign product of cheap labor finds it's way here and is subjected to the payment of only nominal duties?

A roller skating rink proprietor in New Jersey gives copies of the Bible to pupils showing most progress in three months.

 THE DUDE IS DEAD. The dude is dead, the dude is dead!
 Oh, stay that cynic fling
 What evil can you say he did,
 Who never did thing:
 He made no humankind
 You'd hardly thought he would.
 If minded so, he walked and walked;
 If not, he stood and stood
 His days were passed in gentle thoughts;
 He aimed not to appal-
 He always thought about himself,

 Then should mourn on all the more,
 For twas his clothes that died.

Business men throughout the country can proftably pay attention to the following statement made by the business men at their Blaine and Logan meeting in New York: The question to which every elector is asked to give careful and intelligent thought is whether American industries and honest toil shall be protected by the national govern ment against the competition of foreign cheap labor. Upon this subject one of the great political parties has expressed itself in positive terms, and has placed in nomination gentlemen who have both the brains to for mulate their views, and the courage to utter them; while the other comforts itself alike upon the ambiguity of its confession of faith, and the enforced silence of it's chosen apos- tie.
