platform, the protection OF American
abor and American interests, has found
favor at all the public meetings where
speakers have sounded that war cry.
The inclination Of the Democracy TO
free trade has had a tendency to create
doubts In the minds of workingmen OF
all parties, which, coupled with the
Irish detection regarding the Demo-
cratic ticket, makes any loss almost
nominal, If at all.
Hos. TI1us SHEABD, speaker OF the
New York Assembly, Is authority. for
the following: "a Bradford (Eng.)
manufacturer said recently that the
sum of $350,0O0 was sent from Bradford
in 1880 to aid the election Of General
Hancock and free trade Congress, and
that If we In Bradford were sure we
could elect free trade President, we
could raise from Sl,O0O,OOO to 81
900, 00O.'" Cleveland Is n most popular
candidate in England by reason Of the
free trade policy Of the Democratic
party, but he will never be elected as
President of these United States.
wnEN the Independents in New York
bolted the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine
they claimed to control 100000 votes.
This was little more than two months
ago. About n month later they said the
committee had the names Of 10000 bolt
ers. This was shortly followed by the
statement that the list of names en-
braced 10000 Now the claim is made
that they number 1880. This shrink
age will be gradually admitted until the
true strength of the Independents will
be shown to be about 3 900 which are
the figures the Republican Executive
committee place the Independent vote at

Mn. GEoRGE o. JONES, the Chairman
of the Executive committee of the Ma
tional Greenback party, has openly re-
yolted against Mr.. Butler, and has is
sued an address to the National Green
hackers in New York, in which he prints
the platform of the Peoples, or Butler
party, and speech delivered by Mr..
Butler at Worcester, Massachusetts,,
from which Mr.. Jones argues that But
ler's great desire is to break down the
Greenback party, defeat its principles
and use its members at this election, to

Democratic party for its treatment OF
him ut Chicago. This is his real pur-
pose and intentions, says Mr.. Jones,

aged by the refusal of the City Council
to pass his former resolution exempting
certain manufactures from taxation
has drafted an ordinance, which was
read in the Council Monday and pub
lished in the city papers. The question
Is no new one, and the argument in favor
of the passage OF such municipal law
is long and logical. The need of manu-
facturers is absolute. Bonuses from tn,
city are out Of the question, rs likewls,

spirited men who lead in such enter

on all the people, and gives the manu-
facturer chance to make proper be
ginning, which, If successful, as it nc
doubt would be, will add to the city,
prosperity and business more thai
enough to overbalance the tax RENTED
Mr.. Bolton deserves full encouragement
for his persistence in the premises, an,
If this ordinance is passed, 1t will prov
a move in the right direction.
