KEEP BEFORE THE PEOPLE

Keep it before the people, that
protection" is to benefit few at the
expense of the many.
Keep it before the peolp. that thu
protected industries ask more protection
now than they did when they were in
their infancy"
Keep it before the people, that an
exhorbitant tariff on iron checks the
growth of railroads, and forces companies
to extort outrageous subsidies from the
people to build needed roads.
Keep it before the people that
protection" by an outrageous tax on iron
has driven American ships from the boz
som of the ocean, our people paying for
eign ship owners $120, DOC, 900 per annum
to carry ont our products abroad, thus
putting the commerce and prosperity of
our land under the control of oreign
power.
Keep it b efnre the people, that Tepub

600 on the navy since the war that We he
have paid enough to the grandest navy III
the world and in place of that America has
one unable to cope with any foreign pow
er-one unable to protect its cities al
home or its citizens abroad.
Keep it before the people, that while a
protective policy claims to protect Amer
lea labor, protected monopolists import
duty free the pauper labor of Europe, .
to complete with and undermine the wag
es and standing Of the American laborer-
that protection protects alone the capita
| list
Keep it before the people, that under
protection many of our factories art
closed and most of them are operating OF
short time-that by system of pooling
which protection makes possible, thu
manufacturer lgets pay for remaining
idle while the operatives are thrown on
of employment.
Keep it before the people, that the
click of the telegraph from Liverpool il
Chicago each morning sets the price Oh
the Western farmers, produce-forced tt
sell what he raises at the worlds price b,
should not be forced to buy what he use
in protected" market.
Keep it before the people, that pro
lection" is an attempt to make things 9th
er than natural; monopolists helped b.
law strive to control Legislature, by fai
means if they can, by foul means if the.
protection" is the parent of pol
itical corruption.
Keep it before the people, that ia

New YORK, Sept. l0.-A London cable
gram to this mornings Sun says: Privata
dispatches from Naples describe the moral
and sanitary condition of the city in the
presence of the cholera scourge as terrible.
The people have lost all self-control and
given themselves up TO the widest slIpersti.
ton. 1t is impossible to take proper precau.
tons to prevent the spread of the disease,
as families and friends unite to frlstrata
the regulations of the authorities. Deaths
are concealed, and the corpses retained in
the houses until privately buried, from a
superstitiouS dread that burial in a COM
mon grave without religious rites imperils
the dead PERSONS hope of resurrection. In
stead of complying with the sanitary rules,
recourse is had to supernatural remedies.
The streets are crowded with religious
professions, singing hymns and littanies,
and bearing lighted candles, crosses,
and banners. Women parade the
cites of St Genaro, Naples patron saint.
Even the doctors are carried away by the
prevailing panic Three eminent physicians,
Ors Colterelh, Capozzi and Schran, all Of
whom are members of the sanitary council,
have abandoned their duties and run away,
leaving the sanitary control of the city in the
widest confusion. Such is the hatred ex-
pressed toward them by the populace
that they will certainly be lynched
if they return. In marked contrast
to the conduct of these men, DR.
Dellatorre is nobls example of devotion tc
duty. He has VISITED the sick and dying il
the vilest quarters of Naples, facing death
not only from the disease, but from thI
frenzy and fanaticism of the populace, IL,

acter and was the valued associate, con-
lidant and helpmate OF her distinguished
husband, both in the Executive mansion
in this state and during the many years
of his residence in Washington as Senator
and Secretary of the Treasury.

cd to her late husband Opening it she
found it to be very importunate appeal
to Senator M drill to visit Ohio and to
lend his aid in saving the state to Mr.
Blaine Mrs. Morrill, TUNED the sheet
over and wrote on its back an indignant
reply and mailed it forthwith to the gen
tleman who had signed the appeal.
In conversation today on the subject of
the Ohio letter, Mrs. Morrill, said: Some

zation, | was so surprised and indignant
at its contents that | did not particularly
