A Queens Opinion.

What a peculiar feeling is expe-
rlenced by An rs the first time
they gaze up royalty. Here, in
this free country, where every citizen
is king and every mother queen,
a peep at royalty or titled princes and
potentates does not come very often,
Morbid curiosity often leads our citi
zens to act in a manner unbecoming
their high estate. PeroDa0 is fast max
ing its way throughout the the land
and is becoming known. Every
where that it is used by the sick and
afflicted, it makes wonderful cures,
and is given all the praise for its good
work.
]. NJ. Queen writes from Johns
town, w. Va, that he has been sorely
afflicted for several years, but he was
urged to try Pera0ad, which he did,
and he now feels that he is about over
his trouble, and considers it the great
est medicine in the world. He says
he has to go or send distance Of fif-
teen miles to obtain PerlnlG, but it
will repay him for this. Ask for it
at the nearest drug store.

Our Next President.

James G, Blaine has been nOminat-
ed by the people, and will be elected
by the people. For a quarter of a
century no other candidate has been
more clearly preferred by the voters.

defeat his opponents did not attribute

ence. BY them it was admitted, as
it must be admitted by all, that the
people desired the nomination of Mr..
Blaine. The National Convention
wisely preferred him to any other
representative of his ideas. Having
deliberately adopted those ideas in
its platform, the Convention has Sc
lected Mr.. Blaine himself to repre-
sent them.
Mr., Blaine has been nominated as
an advocate of protection. His opin-
ions on the tariff question need no
explanation, and his nomination will
be hailed with the utmost enthusi-
asm by the friends of the protective
tariff in every part of the land. In
nominating Mr.. Blaine, moreover,
the Convention adopts the idea that
no form of servile labor can be toler-
ated in this country. Whether the
serf comes from China or from Hun
gary, the Republican party objects.
At the same time, the Convention
proposes to educate American labor,
so that it may be better fitted for the
responsibilities of self-government.
Mr.. Blaine's remarkable letter on
this subject, which was derided by
some opponents, finds a response In
the Republican platform, and the

Something for ee-Traders to Read

Mr.. M, S. Brewer, United States
consul general at Berlin, has furnish
ed the State department with sched-
ule of the wages earned by mechanics
in that city which should be carefully
studied by the tariff reformers in Coz
gress. Mr.. Brewer says that nearly
all the necessaries of life cost as much
in Berlin as in New York. Meats of
all kinds, flour, bread, butter, fish
and fruit are even more expensive
than in New York !; Woolen and linen
goods, boots, shoes and clothing gen.
orally are cheaper. All mechanics
work from eleven and half to thir-
teen hours day.
Stonecutters earn S4.28 per week

working thirteen hours day. mold
ers, $3.50; masons, S7.l4 carpenters,
S4.99 painters, $4.99, and so on to the
end. These are the highest, priced
workmen.
The list of prices of the standard
articles of food given by Mr.. Brewer
show that subsistence costs about as
much in Berlin as in Washington.
Wheat flour is S. to Sc per hundred;
eggs % cents per dozen ; butter, 80 to
3S cents per pound; beef and NUT
ton, for roasts, II to 20 cents pork,
16 to 20 cents a pound; loaf of wheat
bread, 10 to Il cents; black bread
rye about half the price of wheat
bread. The German laboring people
spend less for Lying than the labor
ing people in the United States but
necessity has taught them to be more
economical. After looking at Mr..
Brewers price list. no one will be
surprised to learn that 100000 Ger
mans leave their native land and
come to the United States every year.

THE TARIFF PLANK.

1t is the first duty of a good gov.
ernment to protect the rights and
promote the interests of it's own peo.
pie. The largest diversity of indus.
try is most productive of general pros
perity and of the comfort and indie
pendence of the people.
We, therefore, demand that the
imposition of duties on foreign i'm
ports shall be made not for revenue
only, but that in raising the requisite
revenues for the government, such
duties shall be so LEVIED as to afford
security to our diversified industrTey
and protection to therights and wages
of the laborer, to the end that active
and intelligent labor, as we'll as capi-
tai, may have its just award, and the
Iaboring man his full share in the
national prosperity.
Against the so-called economical
system of the Democratic party,
which would degrade our labor to the
foreign standard, we enter our earn
est protest.
The Democratic party has failed
completely to relieve the people of the
burthen of unnecessary taxation by
a wise reduction of the surplus. The
Republican party pledges itself to
correct the inequalities of the tariff.
and to reduce the surplus, not by the
vicious and indiscriminate process of
horizontal reduction, but by such
methods as will relieve the Taxpayers
without injuring the labOrer or the
great productive interests of the coun.

Convention remembered it when it
nominated its candidate.
Mr.. Blaine is the strongest candis
date the Republican party could have
nominated, because he best repre-
sents its convictions. Those who
supported President Arthur, Senator
Edmunds, and other candidates with
SO much zeal and fidelity deserve
honor for their conscientious efforts,
and yet they will realize before many
days, we feel sure, that the people
were wiser than most of their lead
ers. The name of ,Ir. Blaine had
been so Unidentified with the econo-
mic policy which the Republican
party holds most dear, that the pop
ular preference for him, at time
when that policy was threatened by
Democratic majority in Congress,
was exceedingly natural. On this
lso"aff0, D'istrie SIT n. Sts.-
ne VIII receive more votes than could
nave been secured by any other cam
dldate III the Pacific States, in West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York.
The nomination of General Logan
for Vice-President was also especial
~ fortunate. He has great strength
at the West, and with the soldiers
everywhere, and his name will kim
dle the enthusiasm of Republicans at
the South. The ticket cannot be
beaten. Blaine and Logan will car
ry every Northern State, and proba-
bly, more than one of the Southern
States besides. Once more the Re-
publican party has proved its right
to rule by the wisdom of its choice,
1t represents the people again, and
the people will not fail to justify its
confidence in their sagacity and their
patriotic feeling.-N, Y. Tribune.

The National Republican Platform.

The Republicans of the United States
in National Convention assembled re-
neO their allegiance to the principles
upon lOhjch they haze triumphed in
six successive Presidential elections,
and congratulate the American peo-
pie on the attainment of so many re-
suits in legislation and administra-
ton, by which the Republican party
has, after saving the Union, done so
much to render its institutions just,
equal and beneicient, the safeguard,
of liberty and the embodiment of the
best thought and highest purpose of
our citizens. The Republican party
has gained its strength by quick and
faithful respone to the demands of
the people for the freedom and the
equality of all men, for a united ma
ton. assuring the rights of all citi-
zens; for the elevation of Etter-, J
an honest currency, for puritr5.tr1eg-
islation, and for integrity and ac-
countahility in all departments of the
government and it accepts anew the
duty of leading in the work of prog
resS and reform. We lament the death
of President Garfield, whose sound
statesmanship, long conspicuous in
Congress, gave promise Ofa strong and
successful administrations promise
fully realized during the short period
Of his Office as President of the United
States. His distinguished success in
war and peace have endeared him to
the hearts of the American people.
In the administration of President
Arthur we recognize a wise, conser-
vative and patriotic policy, under
which the country has heen blessed
with remarkable prosperity, and we
believe his eminent services are en-
titled to, and will receive, the hearty
approval of every citizen.

BLAINE AND LOGAN.
Men VINO in the NatIon,s peril


Men who in the Nations peril
Battled for the truth and right,
Thought as did our martyred Lincoln,
And with Grant endured the fight.
Once again your country calls you
That the work may not be vain,
Sets in front her chosen champion
In the mighty man of Maine.
Sounds the slogan,
Blaine and Logan,
Millions swell the growing strain. n
Days of Sixty! Days of Eightyl
Memory holds them ever dear,
Great in deeds and great in leaders,
Men without reproach and fear,
Lincoln lit the path ofduty
And the freeman's work made plain
Garfield gave itlight ofnoonday,
Martyrs chief of thousands slain
Let our slogan,
Blaine and Logan,
Peal, a million-voiced refrain.
Rights to all within our borders,
Fyeedonl,s work must guarT1tee, ~a
Help our masses, fire our forges. %
Set our sails on every sea.
Anu our llNGSJ illHl llluSJ lcttu U.S.

List the music of the pine woods,
Moves the Nations soul with Blaine.
Sound the slogan,
Blaine and Logan,
Millions shall the vote maintain.
Voice the loudest airs of freedom
In the song of Eighty-four,
Till majestic in its volume
1t shall force the White House door,
For the Nations grand uprising,
Felt from Mexico to Maine,
Halls a true and trusted leader
In the standard bearer Blaine.
And the slogan,
Blaine and Logan,
Means no martyrs die in vain.

In leading article discussing the
the results of the Chicago convention,
the London Times Saturday morning
said "Mr. Baine's nomination will
be received with general satisfaction.
Not only has he been the most popu-
lar candidate from the outset, but he
is beyond all question the most con-
spicuous and respected politician in
the ranks Of the Republican party,
which has done itself honor by the
nomination of so we'll known and
distinguished a man. If the Demo-
Gratis could make up their minds to
definite and reasonable free trade
policy they would certainly secure
more sympathy on this side of the
Atlantic than has hitherto been ac-
corded them. Meantime, we must
congratulate the public on the choice
of a candidate so eminently suited as
Mr.. Blaine to represent and uphold
the dignity of the United States"

girl who was but one year old, got
too near the stove and her clothes
caught fire and burned her very
badly before her mother could get

sufferer fingered in great agony uu-

that sent a chill TO our heart. a
young man from the country, a stout
and hearty fellow, had become in
toxicated. His friends had tried in
vain 10 induce him to go home with
them. His mother, an old lady, upon
whose face and form time had left
its trace, stepped up and in a gentle
voice said, "James, 50 home with
mother" With one blow he lay this
woman bis mother PROSTATE at
his feet. That was the most cruel
blow We ever saw struck We
thought OF the time, many years
ago, when the bright-cyed, happy
hearted mother held her boy upon
her knee, and as she soothed him to
sleep with gentle 72ng, looked for

bring honor to her, himself and his
name. We thought Of how she had
suffered for him, and how she loved
