A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY MEANS
CLOSED FACTORIES AND IDLE
WORK IEN

Leading manufacturers of Southern New
Jersey have lately been requested to answer
the following question
In case Cleveland should be elected to the
Presidency in November and the Democrats
should have majority in Congress and free
trade Speaker in thu House, what, in your
opinion, would be the effect on yonr business?
Plain answers to this plain question are CIV
en- below. The writers know what they are
talking about and mean what they say:
We believe it would be a serious loss to us
by causing depression IN cur business from
the fear of havin reduction in the tariff,
and thus causing the market to be crowded
with foreign bottles, which necessarily would
result either in q reduction of wages to cor
respond or our factories lying idle.
MOORE Bros,
Glass Manufacturers, Clayton. N. j.
In my opinion the effect upon the business
OF window-glass manufacturing would be that
we should be compelled to shut down our fac
tories that is, if the free trade policy should
prevail.
c. ALpERTsox

Ii would do more to depress our business
than anything that c)uld happen. Our bust
for the future We have is that the increase of
confidence caused by Biaine'S election will
affect US as it will all Others
STARR & Bgo.,
Fenwiek Canning Works, Salem, n. J.
believe it would be great damage to all
kinds of trade and have the eject of closing
at least half of the factories throughout the
United States for the next six months

object lesson on lis course in trying to

ClevelaEd's re- election Will do. When it
recalls the prophecies it made in 1884 about
the dreadful things that would come to pass
to the iron and coal interest-and every
other interest of Virglnia-if Cleveland
was elected. it ought to resolve to be more
careful for the future. But it don t and it
is still crying ruin over the success of
Cleveland and the Mills Bill ,as it did four
years ago over Cleveland and Reform. La
giving it this lesson, We are compelled to
take by the ear one Of its Republican con-

turers The Tribune after creating great

day which it thought would be effective
and from the lateness of the day, beyond
reputation. It addressed e, qniries to some
manufacturers In New jersey known to be
in sympathy with the Republican cause
and to be making large profits On protect

late to be counteracted-1t published the
replies OF those manufacturers. We give

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND DIS
MISSES THE BRITISH
MJNTCTE

A Republican, either naturalized
Englishman, or feigning to be one, wrote
from California to the British Minister at
Washington, Lord Sick7ill5- West, for ad
vice as to how to vote in the Presidential
Election.
The British Minister replied in letter,
by Implication, if not directly, attributing
sincerity to the Administration and
Congress On the Fisheries ana Retaliation
questions.
That British Minister forgot the impro-
priety of foreign minister interfering in
an American election, by advising ma
turalzad voters.
President Cleveland, who is man after
Andrew Jackson's own heart, Wsed his
attention and that of the English govern
N ent to it, and after waiting a week
hours for that government to recall lis
minister which it did not do-he, last
Tuesday, did it for the English govern
ment, and dismissed him. Lord Sackville-
West ceased, on Wednesday, to be recog.
nized in Washington as the British Minis
ter.
Grover Cleveland appears to be good
deal of an American and Man.

The effect would be disastrous; it would
lead to renewed tariff agitation and the con-

Southern men representing the country
abroad as other Americans had been DC
ina; to once more see Southern men on the
bench Of the Supreme Court constituting
the laws for the Nation; to once more see
Southern men in the Cabinet; to once
more feel the thrill of National pride and
the fervor of glorying in great and COM
mon country as our 0tUn, was something
that was priceless. No other President
since the war-though there had oeen
fige-had brought to the country the boon
of a united people.
And what has the Republican party to
oppose to that record? Come down fer a
moment to the real issue it makes. The
only opposition it makes is that he differs
with it On the tariff. And that difference
is, what? On the protection of American
Labor? No, not that, for in his letter Of
acceptance he especially advocated that.
On what then? On the protection of
American products ? No, not that, for
the Mills Bill which is his platform, re-
dnces the protection on American pro-
ducts wool. sugar and lumbar-only TWEEN
ty millions of dollars, while the Republ:-
can Senate Tariff bill reduces sugar alone
twenty. seven million. On what thea is
the opposition based2 On the false cry Of
Free-trade. On saying toa man who says

that, sifted to the bottom is the whole
opposition the Republican party can offer

'Iet well enough alone" Whatever other
sections of the country may do, the South

South American MOSQUITOES.

Some ludcrous stories are told about ad.
ventures with the mosquitoes. l have been
ssolemnly assured that very often when they
have attacked a boat and driven its Captain
and crew below, they have broken the
windows of the cabin by plunging in swarms
against them, and have attempted to burst
in the 'ors. Although this may be some
thing of an exaggeration, it is nevertheless
true that frequently horses and CATTLE after
the most irightful sufferings, have died
from mosquito bites on board the vessels.
Not long ago herd of valuable cattle were
being taken from the United States to ranch
upon the Magdalena river, and became so
desperate under The attacks of the mosqui-

Temperance Beaus or None.

promises TO bring dismay and confusion into

Temperance beaus or no beaus at ALL" The
girls and their banner settled the business.
The beaus voted "dry" ballots to man and
the town of Independence will go dry or take
its beer and whisky on the sly for the next
four years. If the girls of other towns be-

up their beer if they must, but they will give
up the girls never.

The Industrious Bee.

1t is estimated that, to collect one pound of
honey, o., 1000 heads of clover must be de-

that the reputation ofthe wonderful little in
sect for industry has not been overrated.
Wax is q substance secreted by the bees, and
is analogous to the fat of higher animals. To
produce single pound of wax, the bees must
consume from fifteen to twenty pounds of
honey. This expensive substance is used by

THE PRIME OF LIVE,

i read the sentence or heard it spoken
a stalwart phrase and with meaning rife
And said; Now l know, by youths sweet
token,
That this is the time called the prime of life.
"For my hopes soar over the Hottest mountain,
And the future CLOVIS red, like a fair sunrise;
And my spirits gush forth, like springfield foun-
tain,
And never grief In the heart of me lies.'
Yet later on. when with blood and muscle
Equipped plunged in the worlds hard strife,
When | loved its danger, and laughed at the tus-
sic,
"why this" said, sis the prime of life."
And then, when the tide in my veins ran slower.
And youths first folles had passed away.
When the fervent fires in my heart burned lower
And over my body my brain had sway,

The vigorous reason thrusts a knife
And rends the Illusion, and shows US the real
Oh this is the time called prime of life.'"
But now, when brain and body are troubled
(For one is tired and one is i'll,
Yet my soul scars up with a strength redoubled
And sits on the throne of my broken wild.
Now when on the ear of my listening spirit
That is turned away from the earths harsh

A Boy Proof Cherry Tree.

An ingenious horticulturist up the river
has secured patent on a safety cherry tree,
which is warranted boy proof. 1t is simple
in its construction, and consists in drafting a
sprig of cactus in the tree when young. The
needles spring out all over the trunk and
limbs, thus preventing the predatory youth
of the land from stealing the fruit without
reaping the reward of the wicked.
The most unfortunate feature of the whole
matter rests in the action Of smart boy in
the town, who has constructed a pair of
barbed wire trousers, which enables him to
successfully compete with the cactus, but as
a barbed wire suit is more expensive than
ton of cherries, its use is not likely to become
universal Enterprise.
