THE LABOR VOTE.

The more superficial Democrats
are congratulating themselves with
the .dea that the labor vote of this
country will, in great part, 60 for
Cleveland. This is not borne out
by facts or probabilities. II any
body knows about the tendency of
that vote John jarrett is the man.
He is himself a wOrkingmaD of the
highest intelligence, and more fear
ed by the Democratic party, since
his flank movement against HOri-
zontal Bill Morrison, than any 9th
er person Of the same class. Now,
Nr. FARRELL is well pleased with
the Republican ticket, and specially
charmed with the platform. lie
declares that this sentiment is coin
cidental with that of numerous Ia
Dor organizations. With such work
ingmen as Mr.. Jarrett has cOnsOrt-
ed with-and his acquaintance is OF
wide extent-there Is an earnest
determination to stand by the party
OF protection and its nominees. AS
to the Chinese migration bill, and
Mr.. UarrisOn's vote thereupOD, no
sensible mechanic will be duped.

question will have any weight with

There are dyed.in-wool Demo

course, vote that ticket, no matter
what the issue may be but the bulk
OF the lsboring men who understand
the value of protection, in relation

WHAT THE PLATFORM MEANS.

Fortunately for the public, there
will be no mud throwing in the
present campaign, but there will
still be characterless individuals
and newspapers to make false as
sertions. From time to time VIII
be heard or read the stereOtyped
sit is reported" or ait is said" ac-
companled with colossal lie, which,
if uttered in any other way, the
listener or reader would brand at
once as an Infamous falsehoOd, I'M
worthy OF a moments notice. The
"reported call' for revision OF the
tariff plank of the Republican plat
for n is one of these dastardly at
tempts to make lie do service for
a party in difficulties. The Demo.
Gratis will find by the time they
have well warmed up to the work
before them that those who thus
mislead them are not the safest
guides, nor the truest friends.
There are very few records OF the
Republican party of which it is
more Justly proud than the tariff
plank in the Chicago platform. 1t
is essentially American, it guards
the interests Of every man, woman
aud child in this country deserving
of protection, it protects the weak
from the encrOachments Of the
strong, the American labOrer from
the competition of foreign capital
combined with foreign skill, and,
above all, it enables the people of
this country to educate themselves
10 the various necessary mechanic.
al and manufacturing arts, so that
they can rise above the position Of
beng mere hewers of wood and
drawers of water for the skilled
mechanics in foreign lands. The
Republican party desires to give to
all the people the benefits which
the Democratic party in this state
sought to give to Baltimore by re-
lieving manufacturers of the bur
dens which other property pays.
The Democratic party, on the
other hand, would retain a burden
some and almost prOhlbitory IN
ternal revenue tax on tobacco
which prevents the planter from
making more than a bare subsist-
ence, no matter how luxurlant may
be his crop, and which cOmpels
every poor man in the country, be
he labOrer, mechanic or clerk, if he
uses tobacco, to buy the very mean
est in the market, because the trade
will not put good tobacco in small
packages where the stamp swal-
lows up the profit. This is TO be
done to test an abstract principle
which the leader of the Democracy
imagines he has worked out in his
own prolific brain, and from which
there can be no appeal until our
factories and workshops are de-
serted, their employees idle and
their wives and children without
the money to buy cheap clothes and
boots and shoes, of which they so
glibly talk. A mOdicum OF good,
harsh, common sense is worth all
the theories in the world upon
which the people should conduct
their affairs.

PROTECTION AND THE FARMER.

Inc farmer IL cSptOioiil i"OOiOo'
ed in maintenance of u policy that
encourages the growth OF manu-
features in this country. His ben
e6ts from IA protective tariff are
two.fold. The number of those
who consume farm products IS
increased without corresponding
increase in the number of farmers.
Villagers and cities make a profit
able market for many products OF
the farm which could not be eX-
ported. Hence, the greater the
percentage OF consumers engaged
in some non competing, such as
mining, manufacturing, and the
mechanic arts, the broader the farm
ers market; and the more that
those thus employed can earn, the
better customers they are certain
to become. Any policy tending to
make the calling of these workers
less attractive, by reducing their
earnings or adding to their hard
ships. will induce some OF them to
become tillers OF the soil and com
bel all of them to observe increas
cd economy in purchasing the nee
essaries Of life.
The free trade philosopher is
accustomed to dismiss these facts
with a wave of the same hand with
which he points to his favOrite re-
fuge, "the markets of the world"
ready to absorb the agricultural
surplus of the country. The folly
of such dependence becomes appar'
ent when it is found that these
convenient receptacles for that sur
plus of farm products, which the
free traders policy would entail,
are already quite well supplied.
The people OF Europe will take no
more wheat, corn, meat, etc, than
necessity cOmpels them to buy,
and of these they will buy from
America only what they can get
here upon better terms than else
where. OF farm prOdqcts-~eKcept
cotton and tobaccO-but 5 per cent
now goes abroad, the home market
consumes the remainder, and OF
this a large proportion could never
be shipped IA long distance from
home, no matter how great the de-
mand might be.
The preachers of free trade, who,
like the London Times, "cannOt
rest while the United States are
uDsubdued," have addressed them
selves especially to voting farmers.
Not long since tons of pamphlets
written by member Of the Golden
club, and printed in London, were
scattered throughout the western
states. IL these our farmers were
pictured as ground dowp by extOr'
tons made possible by a protective
tariff, which they were urged to
throw off and demand free trade
with the world as a paDacea for all
their Ills. Upon the string thus
attuned to British interests free
trade advocates have since steadily
harped-until the question OF re-
serving our home markets for the
benefit OF the people by whose en-
ergy they have been built up, or
handing them over as a free gift to
foreigners, has become the foremost
Issue in a presidential campaign!

The talk of a Democratic "walk
over' in the approaching presiden.
tal election is not only ill.judged
but prejndicial to the success Of the
party. The dangerous illusion
may be dispelled at once by care.
fnl examination Of the following
from the New York SIM:
"There are, in all, lOl electoral
votes, and the winning ticket must
get not less than pol. Mr.. Blaine

tainly be stOngcr in Indiana than
Blame was tOnr years ago, and the
death of Mr.. Hendricks has depriv-
ed the Democracy of that State OF
its most conspicuous, respec'el,
and efficient leader. At the last
State election in Indiana, that Of
1886, the Democrats were beaten
by 1924. The 10 electoral votes of
Indiana would leave the Rrpubl-
cans within four of the number re-
quired to elect. These are expected
from Connecticut, which has al.
ways been remarkably close, and
which was carried by Mr.. Cleve
laud in 1884 by a meagre plurality
of l,2Si, with a prohibition vote of
2,4S9, the greater portion of which
will probably fall back into the Re.
publican column this year. Con-
nectlcut is high tariff State, and
went against Hancock in 1880 by
1855. Should the Republicans
succeed IN securing the electoral
votes OF Connecticut, they will have
more than a majority and will be
entirely independent of New York.
With a candidate like General
Harrison, whose record on the
Chinese question is not popular,
there would be considerable doubt
of the ability of the Republicans to
maintain their ascendancy in Neva.
da, California, and Oregon. But
the recent election in the last named

contemplating the weakness of the

put up, and to develop what stenGth

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
ORIGINAL AND BORROWED.

Protection or Free Ira d e
Which? We are not afraid to
guess.
Let the workingmen consider
well the issues Of the campaign.
The triumph of free trade means
death to American industries.
Emperor Frederick died within
30 feet of where he was born, and
at exactly the same hour OF the
day.
The Supreme Court of Minnesota
has decided that a passenger has
the right to a seat or can refuse to
nav his fare. II a railroad company
eject a passenger, it must be at a
station.
William A. Smith, who died a
few days ago in Richmond, Va,
enjoyed a unique distinction. He
resigned a seat in Congress be-
cause he did not think he bad sense
enough to properly represent his
constituents.
So far TWO Democratic papers
one in Washington and one in
New York-have abandoned Cleve-
land and come out for the Repub'
hcan ticket. This is a good start,
and there are over four months
before election day for similar
reforms.
Many of the prominent Democrat
10 organs say that the contest for
the presidency is not a personal
one, bat for or against a protective
tariff. 1t that be so, thousands OF
Democrats can 90 with the Reprb-
licans, for this time at any rats.
INDEPENDENT Democrats will, as
usual, vote as they please.
Gen. Harrison, when IN the
Senate, spoke and voted tor the
Blair Educational Bill. The Re-
publican platform declares for it.
Cleveland is opposed to that meas
ore, and the Democratic platform
in effect declares against it. How
will the people, who know the ben
efts offree schools, vote as between
the two candidates
England is whining because
there is no iraternal feeling between
that country and America, eSpe-
cialiy in the way of manufacturing.
The Democrats are sympalhizing
with England and are trying their
utmost to establish closer relations.
Let England take care of herself.
She is old enough and has had ex-
perience enough. Americans who
are Americans should pay strict
attention to building up this coun'
try. There has been quite enough
OF this sympathy with English
manufactures racket.
The general judgment of the
Republicans of the country is that
Harrison and Morton will carry
every Northern State. Indiana
Is certain for Harrison, New
Jersey and Connecticut will ring
in the came column on the tariff
uuestioR and New York will crown
the column under the influence OF
Morton, and Depew as the chair
man of the National Committee.
West Virginia will come as 2 strong
probability, as well as Virginia if
the party works together.

The Senate at present has 80 Re.
publlcans and 81 Democrats. The
election Of Barbour in the place of
Rlddeberger, of Virginia. if no fur
ther changes occur. will make the
Senate q tie after the 18th of next
March. The Democrats hoped to
carry Oregon at the recent state
election. and elect a majority Of the
new legislature. Had they sncceed.
ed, they would have replaced Sen.
ator Dolph by a Democrat, and
thus have obtained one majority.
The sweeping Republican victory
prevented this hope from being re.
allied.
The present outlook is that no
present Republican seat will be fill
ed by Democrat, but that Re.
publican will succeed Mcpherson,
Of New Jersey, for the prospect is
good for carving that state. There
is a fighting chance also in West
Virginia this fall on the tariff issue.
The indications are favorable for
continued Republican supremacy
IN the Senate, and for a Republican
Vice president being installed as
it's Presiding officer.
