In this same line of incontestible proof is
the letter of Hon. Neal Dow of Maine, pub
lished in yesterdays Journal. In that the de-
tails are given of how corruption funds are
raised periodically to influence elections and
shape legislation in America, lobbyists be-
ing regularly employed for that purpose"
The Journal personally knows that this
country is annually flooded with free-trade
circulars, issued by British clubs, printed in
England and paid for by British manufactur-
ers. If they go to that trouble and evince so
much interest in securing free trade in Amer
lea, would they hesitate to raise money to help
the Democratic party the champion of free
trade and British interestsg Suppose an
American should go into the business of manu-
featuring in England which party would he
support, and why9 1t is folly to deny that
British interests lie in the success of the
Democratic party, and equally futile to deny
that British money is now being used to elect
Democratic free trade administration. The
proof is conclusive

ROCHESTER, Post Express rep. J: Say brethrenl
Suppose you reduce the everlasting folderol of
this campaign as nearly as possible to the mini
mum. There's no need of Republicans pretend
ing to be stuck after" Butler or Democrats
after st. John. Own up that the reason why
one coddles Butler is because he draws votes
from Cleveland, and the reason why the other
coddles St John is because he draws votes from
blame There are two or three tricks in the
Worid hardly worth trying. One of them is
teaching your grandfather how to suck eggs.

steerers, and that the American people is not q

forty from this city are in Ohio in the inter-
ests of the Democracy. The News of last
evening says:
''Within the past two or three days several
score of Democrats have gone to Ohio as they
say, to prevent Hoosier Republicans from cast
ing any illegal votes in to-morrow's election.
The majority of them are persons heretofore
not credited with any very pronounced opin-
ions in favor of pure ballot"
Upon the question of corruption fund the
Journal has already printed much proof, show
ing that the Southern States have been sys-
tematically worked" for money TO carry Ohio.
We have two more items, both from I'M
doubted Democratic sources Here is special
dispatch from Chicago to the Boston Herald,
a Cleveland organ
"CH1oAGo, ILL.,, Oct. 10, 1SS4-A promi-
nent and influential Democrat received a let
ter from New York, to-day, saying that the
money which the Democratic national com
mittee had promised to send to Ohio left New
York on Thursday night, and was, in all
probability, in Ohio now. The sum sent was
$500, 900. The State of Georgia contributed
$780, 900 alone, and New York more than that
amount"
Here is something from headquarters. O,
o. Stealey telegraphs from New York to the
Louisville Courier Journal of yesterday:
''Hon Booker Reed, of Louisville, held
long consultation, yesterday, with the advis-
DRY committee of the national Democratic
committee. Mr.. Reed states that many Of
the Kentucky Democrats have sent money to
Ohio and Indiana unknown to the national
committee"
These are the objective influences and
agencies against which the Republicans of
Ohio have to contend. The subjective infu-
ences may be stated to be an adverse plurality
in the last two years-in 1882 of 10000, and
and in 1888 of nearly $4,000; the
prejudice sought to be aroused on
the liquor question; the presence of
Prohibition ticket, the vote for which is
estimated at all the way from 10, 900 to 20, 900,
and some other local and incidental matters, the
force of which can be better estimated after
the battle. 1t will be seen that it is no easy
task the Republicans of Ohio have to wrest
their State from the Democracy to-day; yet,
while it would be foolish in the extreme to be
too sanguine, or to fail to appreciate the real
facts of the situation, the Journal believes
the sturdy, honest conscientious men of the
great central State will surely lead the Nation
to complete victory. To carry the State at
all would be an unfailing sign of the drift Of
public opinion toward the Republican party.

does. No man could listen to the narrow
minded, bigoted diatribe he delivered in this
city without being impressed with the fact
that st. Johns sole desire and object is to
defeat the Republican party. The reason for
this bitterness of heart is the fact that Mr.. st.
John ran the Republican party Of Kansas to
defeat he receiving 40, 900 less votes for Gov
ernor the third time he was candidate than
he did the first time and running %, 900 votes
behind his colleagues on the ticket. This IS
why st. John wants to punish the Republican

A REDUCTION OF WAGES.


Colonel Matson, in his speech here on Sat-
urday night stated that the Morrison bill was
bill favoring 20 per cent reduction of
taxes. In your issue of Oct L, you state that
1.-the Morrison bill was a bill for the horizontal
reduction of wages" Which is correct2
DANvILLE, Ind. A READER.
The Morrison bill proposed horizontal re-
duction of the tariff by 20 per cent. from the
prevailing duties. There would follow one of
two results; British shippers to the United
States could increase their profits by the
amount of duty from which the bill relieved
them, or American manufacturers would be
compelled to meet the reduction by reducing
the selling price of their products. In the
former case there would be no reduction Of
taxes; in the latter the American manufac-
turer would be obliged to reduce
wages in order to compete with
British imports. Taking it for granted
that the price of imports would be reduced Ga
thing by no means certain), it is evident that
wages must be reduced if any measure like
the Morrison bill is ever passed. 1t is the
essence of absurdity to claim that American
manufacturers can pay from so to 100 per
cent. higher wages than do those of England,
and expect to compete in open market. A
manufacturers may pay eighty-five cents for
the making of an article that he sells for
dollar. Do you suppose he would still be able
to pay eighty five cents for it after the Nor
rison bill obliged him to sell it for eighty cents
or not sell it at ALI

Governor Hoadly, Democrat, was elected by
1899. If the Republicans carry the State at
all to-day it will be decided gain. If the
Democrats carry it with the aid of their
frauds, money, liquor allies, Prohibition assist
ants and local disturbances, they will simply
do what they have done the past two years
No one doubts but that the electoral vote Of
Ohio will be given for Blaine and Logan in
November. In 1880 Maine went Democratic
but in November Garfield was elected Presi

Double Taxation.


The larger share of the State press that
say anything about double taxation are
in favor of a law that will place the bur
dcn~ where thcy belong The Idi"HHldn
leads the opposition in "A very determined
manner. Last week il made strenuous
effort tu prOycthat Massachusetts law was
Il failure. That there is opposition to the
law in Mass, there is no doubt. but where
law Is exceedingly popular with a class
of people for whose benefit ii was enacted
and who are strcnuDuSlY opposed to its
repeal there is but little show for calling
il failure and holding it up before our
Legislature as a measure directly opposed
to poor taxpayers interests. There is no
reasonable ground for opposition to the
enactment of IA law in Vermont that will
put the taxes ON real estate where they
belong. The only possible objection that
the money lender can have is that the
Fictitious value of mOrtgaged real estate
will be taken from the list and the rate of
taxation be raised prOportiOnally, but this
will he more than offset by the increased
value of the security making the loan Il
safer and better investment. To day there
are thousands of farms in Vermont that
have gone back on the mort gage, and
the owners do not want them. Many are
already abandoned-More will follow the
same fate. We do not claim that the
enactment of the law in question will at
once arrest this great depreciation in prop
erty, but we do claim that its tenden-
Cy will be in the right direction, and that
in the end it will he of mutual benefit to
both borrower and lender.
