''IN their desperation the republic
cans seek to drag the tariff into the
fight" SO says the New York World.
The Democrats are so hopelessly di-
vided upon this subject that in Their
desperation they seek to keep it out OF
the fight. Their free trade element
was strong enough a few months ago
to defeat Randall for the speakership ;
and, indeed, it threatened to read him
out of the party because he would not
abandon his lifelong convictions at
their dictaton. In the effort to bull
doze him, however, it met with dlsas-
ter, and was only too glad to agree to
a truce until after the November cleo
ton, when the strife will be renewed
unless in the meantime the questions
| involved be submitted to and settled
by the people at the ballot box. II
properly presented there can be nc
doubt as 10 the verdict. The people
have too much practical good sense to
allow the free trade theory to be car
ried into practice. Hence the anxiety
of the Clevelanl men now to ignore
this issue.

THE Democrats nave about given up
the hope Of carrying Ohio. The Re-
publican prospects are the brightest.
This state has never cast its vote tor
other than Republican at a Presiden-
tial election, but the success of the
Democrats at the last state election has
melted them to make a determined
struggle to carry the state next month
We do not believe they can succeed
The liquor interest, it is said, has raised
a large sum of money to help IN defeat
ing the Republican ticket, and the
united beer and whiskey interests will
do their utmost to secure that end. On
the other hand the old-tashioned Re
publcans of Ohio will turn out to 4
man to vote the Blaine and Logan
ticket and we have little doubt will
elect it by a large majority.

INSANE PAUPERs-A CORRECTION.

INSANE PAUPERS-A CORRECTION.
.Hr. EdVor My attention has been
directed to an article in your issue of
last week, taken from the Baltimore
SIN, which is said to be the report of
Mr.. G. S. Griffith, the president of the
Prisoners Aid Association of the State,
concerning the condition of things found
in or about our Jail aud almshouSe. In
this report find these words, ''the doc
tor spoke out in the strongest and most
decided manner against the policy pur
sued by the county i'll committing insane
paupers to the Jail. Friend Griffith is
entirely in error as to the substance and
language Of our interview. What did
say was this, that | sincerely daplored
the fact that the county was not provided
with suitable place for the better care
and comfort of these uncertainties. and
that had made sevcra! appeals to the
grand jury earnestly urging them 10 rec
ommend such measures to be taken as
| early as practicable to accomplish this
laudable object. In each and every in
stance it has SO recommended the county

confined i'll the Jail are not there by order
of the County Commissioners. 1t is by

paupers that they are sent to an asyIum
Those committed to jail are placed there

to take charge of them at home and can
not incur the expense of supporting them

from expressing my conviction of the
importance and the pressing present ne
cessity of the early adoption of some
such measures in this direction, aud to
earnestly hope that the day is not far
distant when the erection OF Il suitable
building for the comfort and better care
of these unfortunates viii be an accom-

The Tribute of an Enemy.

From the PtIGdeiphia Record.
Mr.. Blaine has no reason to complain
of his reception at Boston and Worcester
on his way to New York. His audiences
were large and enthusiastic, and though
they must have contained hundreds and
politics and his party, he was uniformly
treated with the respect and courtesy
due to the chosen representative of five
millions of American voters. For such
occasions and audiences Mr.. Blaine
bearing and oratory are simply perfec-
ton, and the mos confirmed of his an
tagonists will not deny him his power or
grudge him his triumphs.

THE Ohio election is not 50 very far
away, and with Maine out of the way
political interest will now center upon
the Buckeye State. \ great fight is
gong on out there, and the Democrats
are making wild claims. But whatever
the Ohio sovereigns do in the ''ofi
years" they never forget to roll up a
round Republican majority when the
Presidency is at stake, The present
year will be no exception to the rule.

If FOR no other reason, the people
of the country owe the Republican
party an immense debt of gratitude for
the reformation of the currency. The
convenience and certainty of this sys-
TEN established by the Republican
party have intrenched it SO firmly in
the regard of the people that they
would quickly resent any radical
changes in it. When the party came
into power the circulating medium of
the country was as bad as bad could
be. Every state had its own system of
banks, and many of them several sys-
TENS. State banks, county banks, and
private banks alike issued notes. The
security to the unhappy holder of the
bills was uncertain, and their value
fuctuated from day to day. No man
dared to take a bank note without con
sulting ''deteCtor" to see how much
discount from its par value should be
deducted. Even then he had no pro
lection, for the note quoted at 5 per
cent. discount today was liable to be
quoted a 10 per cent. discount to-
morrow. For this deprecated, unsta
bic, makeshif currency the Republican
party substituted a circulating medium
so uniform in value, 50 amply secured
as to payment, and so convenient in
form and denomination that the Amer
lean greenback and national bank note
are at par IN gold the world over. IN
der Democratic rule twenty-five years
ago a citizen of Maine setting out to
travel supplied with currency worth
par at home was likely to find his money
worth IS per cent in Massachusetts, %
in Pennsylvania, 90 in Ohio, IS in Hi
nois, and by the time he reached the
Pacific coast his bills, good for 100
cents on the dollar at home, were ust
as likely to be refused altogether as

IF THE Democratic party really rep
resented any principles which the Irish
voters hold dear there might be some
reason for such blind devotion, but as
Il matter of fact it does not. Irishmen
have no reason to love free trade. The
British free trade system has kept the
Irishmen. in their native island, in an
industrial subsection as absolute and as
ruthless as their political subsection. 1t
is a fact beyond question that this sys-
TEN is gradually freezing OUT the
Irish manufactures, while the workmen
who still find employment there are
reduced, by their beggarly wages, to a
state of misery such as can scarcely be
eQualed in any other portion OF the
United Kingdom. Irishmen have NJ
cause to feel any very warm affection
for our mother country, yet it IS fact,
plain enough for the dullest compre-
hension, that the opening of our ports
to foreign manufactures would benefit
England intellectually more than any
other country. That the Democratic
party as whole is decidedly in favor
of free trade no intelligent observer car
doubt, while their candidate for Pres
ident is an avowed enemy of protec,
ton. Such party offers no induce
ments to Irish voters. Whatever claims
it has ever had on their support it ha:
sacrificed. The signs are many thai
the Irish voters have found this out
and if so the Democratic party may as
we'll 90 out of business.

THE QUESTION:.

Clubbing VIII not save llle Deliio-
cratic party. Whether it calls the
Morrison bill, as Mr.. Dorsheimer did,
a first firm step toward free trade, "
or 4 measure flor revenue only" or
only a reduction of taxation, makes no
difference. The voters have found out
what the thing was, and do not care for
the latest label. 1t was a trunk full OF
dynamite, to be left in our factories
there to explode and destroy. What
living labels were pasted on the end do
not signify. The people are studying
the bill and its effects. Documents by
the million, showing its nature, are de
manded from the committees with an
interest never shown before in any such
topic within the memory of this gener-
alton. The Democrats who try to
dodge the question, or to hide their
position by silence or lying, may be
taking the best course possible tor
them that is a question for them to
decide. They certainly are taking
course which satisfies all Republican s.
If the truth and the argument are to
be presented by one side only, while
the other side offers only bubbles about
names, evasive tricks of phrase, palpa
bic talsehoodS, or equally dishonest ST.
lence, the result can be foreseen.
The great facts, which Republicans
will not fail to press upon the attention
of voters, may be thus briefly stated:
|. The Democratic party, boastfully
proclaiming that tariff reform" was its
great object, elected a majority of the
House in 1882.
II. This House, assembling in De
cember, 1888, elected Mr.. Carlisle
speaker on the ground that he was a
free-trader, and in organizing the House
would insure the promised reform.
III. Mr.. Carlisle did organize the
House with Mr.. Morrison and other
noted free traders in charge of the tar
if question.
". These men did bring in bill,
known as "lhe Morrison BILL which
they declared was a first firm step to-
ward free trade" and which in fact
was such step.
V. The Democratic caucus voted,
about four to one, to take up the bill
as a party measure, and declared this
sort of ''reform" the most vital object
of the party.
VI. The Democratic House deemed
it of such vast importance that it sac
ri6ced all other public business in order
to force this measure through.
VII. Four-hfths Of the Democratic
members of the House, in two formal
votes, supported this measure, and it
was barely defeated, nearly all the
Democratic journals denouncing as
''traitors to the party the few Demo
Gratis who voted against it.
VIII. Free trade Republicans, prior
to and during the session, encouraged
these proceedings, promising publicly
a great free trade bolt if the Democrats
would stick to the plan proposed.
IX. The free trade bolt has come,
though it does not prove to be "great.'
X. The bill, if passed, would have
closed thousands of establishments and
reduced wages generally.
XI. The Democratic party is now
trying to cheat the people by pretend
ing that it does not mean any mischief
on the tariff. Its candidate is trying,
by dishonest silence, to obtain votes
upon false pretences.-N J. Tribune.
