ONE Of the weakest newspaper
efforts now on record was made by
the Democrat last week in trying to
make Democratic-free-trade capital
at the expense of Congressman La
Toilette. Did you read the STUN
bling, self-contradicting remarks?
You should, so wen reproduce
them:
''In the campaign of 1884 Hon.
Robert NJ. LaFollette told the min
ers Of this county woeful tale
about the dire distress which would
surely come upon them by reason of
the low price of ores should the
government pass into the hands Of
the free trade Democrats. Lead ore
is now selling as high as thirty-three
dollars per thousand pounds, and if
Mr. LaFollctte should be a candi-
date for reelection next fall he
might find it rather troublesome to
explain on the stump why this
should be thus under Democratic
administration"
TIE intelligent and candid citizen
will readily concede that time has
borne out Mr. LaFollette IN what he
is credited with having asserted
The tariff has not been changed and
lead ore has advanced, and the gov
eminent has not "passed into the
hands of free trade democracy"
With such facts in view, what is
the conclusion? Can there be any
other than that Mr.. l.. stood boldly
on the side Of right when he uttered
that "woeful tale" Had the hands
Of free traders been permitted to
clutch the governmental throttle
the prices on lead ore would be
steering in the opposite direction,
Just as surely MS free-trade is in op
position to tariff. If our Congress
man is called upon to explain, why
it would be "rather troublesome"
for him to do SO proyokes more
difficult explanation Evidently this
free.trade democratic sheet il get
ting badly bewildered.

LA FOLLETFE'S SPEECH.

The young congressman from the
Third district made his first speech
in congressional debate on Thurs
day last, aud it was very creditable
one.
The River aud Harbor bin was
pending. Mr. LaFollette objected
to the general plan Of the proposed
expenditures rather than 70 the
amount. He showed that the bill
dad not follow the recommendations
OF the government engineers, bus
was largely for new projects pro-
posed in response to the clauor of
local interests 1t was not framed
from a national point of view, but
on the contrary, was devised to com
uliltc district interests. The tru-
deucy of such legislation, Mr. III
Toilette justly said, is to deblueh
the country and Kill the moral sense
Of the American Congress.

report. 1t he should marry, Mr..
Cleveland viii be the first President
since Tyler to take wife during his
Administration, and there will be
an immense amount of gossip and
public interest in the event. AL
thought Miss Folsom has reached
the sober years Of twenty-three, she
will be youthful bride for the
President, when it is remembered
that he is more than twice as old as
she. But what has that to do with
the case? Senator Beck said once
in a speech in the United States Sen
ate Chamber that the older a man
got, the younger he wanted his wife
to be. lie did not even except the
gray-haired, bald-heAded Senators
around him, but said all men were
