prohibitionists who would not care to
be made dupes of, to the fact that j. NJ.

bHitt VI HIS dtt IltIEN
Ward Beecher HalStedd
Nearly every one of the prominent
clergymen who started IN to support ex-
Sheriff Cleveland for the Presidency.
have turned away from him in disgust,
since the facts have been disclosed that
he is as corrupt in his morals rs he is
in politics, and mentally so weak that
brains and ability are required. Dr.
Leonard Woolsey Bacon, writing to the
New York Independent, says he can
no longer support him, as he has dis
covered that he ''is of dull mind and
coarse nature and of lewd habits"
DIR. Howard Crosby has also with
drawn his support. Beecher still clings
to Cleveland and his peculiar style of
purity. Someone suggests that per-
haps Beeeher wants 20 hold Cleveland
up rs an awful example and warning
to the boys of the rising generation.
From the latest news from Europe, it
appears that Russia, Germany and
Austria have sided with France against
Great Britain in the Egyptian contro-
nersy. With all of the great continent
al powers of Europe arrayed against
England in her schemes Of conquest,
devised in the interests of English cap
ital, English merchants and manufaet-
urers, and the great FL lish carrying
trade,it is not strange thai English cap
italists should turn their attention to
this country, and be willing to spend
money layiShly to elect 4 Democratic
President, and brig into power party
committed to free-trade, which means
the closing up of American manu-
factories, and the giving to Eng
lish manufacturers and capitalists
monopoly of the trade in nearly all
kinds of manufactured articles and
goods in this country. BY the lavish
use of money used in building up and
manipulating a great political party
pledged to free-trade in this country,
English Lords and capitalists see the
way to accomplish what the English
government failed to accomplish by
force of arms over hundred wears ago.
Our ports thrown open to English ships
loaded with the products of English
manufactures, run by half-paid pauper
labor, American manufactures would
be closed, and the labor now employed
there would be turned to till
ING the soil to furnish cheap bread for
the overcrowded countries of Europe.
English capitalists would control our
markets, the United States would be-
come great granary for Europe, and
our people would become hewers of
wood and drawers of water for their
masters, the English capitalists.

| don't know anything about the
stories that have been told with regard
to MIR. Grover Cleveland's history, and
am not prepared to say whether they
would make him more or less fit for the
discharge of the executive functions of
President of the United States. We
have the testimony of an expert as to
the truth or falsehood of these allepa-
tions-the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
who has devoted his lifetime to the ex-
animation of such matters, and, | sup
pose, will be recognized as-and is
probably-an authority upon all such
matters; and he says after carefully and
infinitely examining the allegations
against Mr.. Grover Cleveland, that
while they are true. there are palliatinp
cumstances, and that he was Young

Mr.. p. L. Barnum, who has totally
abstained from liquor for nearly forty
years, and who has devoted much time
and money to the temperance cause,
was recently asked to contribute $50
toward the purchase of ST. John ban
ner to be raised in Bridgeport. His
reply was; Il am opposed to such an
unwise proceeding, and would sooner
pay to have it stopped. Every man
who reflects, reads, and learns his own
interests, and desires the prosperity and
permanency of America and truly
democratic Government, securing the
greatest good of the greatest number,

Reaching the highest point in the
administration of Martin Van Buren,,
and the lowest in Garfield's administra-
ton.
1t will be noticed that previous TO
1861 the average loss per 200 on
amount involved has been S5.17. while
since that date it has averaged only 56
cents.
Copperhead Hendricks SAYS, 'turn
the rascals out and put in honest men. -
IL VIII readily be seen by the above
official statement from the treasury
department that as soon as the Demo-
cratic control of the government under
Buchanan came to an end, and was
succeeded by President Lincoln in 1861,
the losses at once began to grow less
under every administration, until Gar
held brought the loss down to almost
nothing. The rdScalS were turned ont
by Lincoln, and honest men put in their
place, and, from that time on to the
present, the Republican government
have annually shown large surplus in
the treasury, while when Buchanan,
the last Of the Democratic Presidents
went out of office the treasury was
empty, and the country's credit gone.
The ra Gals are ont, that is what ails
them, and the people will see to it that
they are kept out.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher says,
Cleveland has already suffered loss,
modification, and damage for the COM
mission of greyious sin, and to-day il!
stands in his path with rod of chastise-
ment; and if he fails to gain the highest
place in this Government it will be by
reason of that very transgression. That
he Will be elected | both hope and be-
lieve; but the chief danger to his am
6ltion to-day springs from that sin of
twelve years ago. Is there no warning
in that? No voice to young men?"
Yes, Henry, there is a warning in it;
and there is filth and nastiness. 1t is a
warning to men like Grover Cleveland,
who have paid no attention to the re-
straints placed, by civilized society.
upon such debauched and brutal ma
lures, to not insult and outrage public
sentiment by aspiring to the highest
position in the gift of civilized, Chris
tian people who do not countenance
debauchery and crime. And there is a
voice, Henry, to young men, and to
middle-aged men, and to old men; and
the answer to that voice will be heard
in November, when Grover Cleveland's
name and infamous record will be CON
signed to oblivion. In repeating the
Lords prayer. Henry, do you say sFor-
give US our shortcomings, as we have
forgiven Cleveland's?"

Tho Wool Inriir ana tho Revenues.

MIR. Morrison, chairman Of the Ways md
Means Committee, is quoted as saying that
wool must taks its chance in the general
tariff bill which his committee will report.
Mr.. Converse has asked special grace ior
wool, as an article which was especially in.
jured by the tariff revision. 1t may be
that the Ways and Means Committee will
not advise further reduction OF the wool
tariff, but the policy Of the flat FREQ traders
includes free wool, and it Is even included
in the little raw materials platform which
Mr.. Hewitt has constructed for Ills own use
in this trying time.
The Bureau OF Statatics gives lis the Of.
feet, so Tar as figures can show it, OF the re:
duced wool tariff now in force. The report
covers the first quarter Of the current fiscal
!. year. On clothing wool tho reduction was
81 percent on valuation and IS percent on
the rate Of duty; on combing wool S per,
cent on valuation and 10 percent on rate Of
duty; on carpet wool 2.46 percent on valua.
ton and percent on rate Of duty. In the
single item Of clothing wool the importa.
lions for the quarter increased nearly four
millions OF pounds or about 200 percent.
That is to say that the American wool.
grower had to face three times tho ordinary
amount Of foreign clothing wool in the
! home market. The importations Of comb.
ing WOO! nearly doubled, and carps. woods
4 increased more than 50 percent, reaching
