political demonstration than the Demo.
Gratis gave on Wednesday night, and any
one who may have been deceived by the
talk about tariff scare had his eyes fully
opened by the confident and enthusiastic
bearing of the marching thousands. 1t was
a grand practical demonstration of fact
that our opponents have altogether failed
TO grasp, to wit, that the Democratic
party Is the party Of the laboring man
who thinks and reads. 1t also illustrated
o fact that is forced upon the Republi.
cans more positively every year that
the war is over and old soldiers
and sailors and their sons will vote as
they and their fathers shot, for theil
country. The live issues of the day

been noticeable diminution In the for
eien population of New York, ard par.
ticularly scattering Of the colored cor.
tingent from old Virginny. The police
force has been instructed TO carefully
compare the registry lists with the actual
residents of the districts, and 1t seems
that New York, through the vigilance of
the police force, il not by that of Chair
man Quay's active force of intelligent
Pennsylvania election fraud detectives, is
TO have an honest election. PERHAPS
Chairman Quay and Bill Leeds may con.
clude, before election day, that New
York is less fruitful ground for their
scientific manipulation than they
thought il; and that the expertness Of
the politicians there is equal to their own.
Republican hopes have been largely built
upon New York city, but there is poor
promise that they will be fulfilled. 1t did
look few day ago as though there would
be Republican profit in the Democratic
dissensions over local nominations; bu,
as there is entire loyalty on every side Il
the national ticket, 1t has become appar
ent that the effect of the different local
contests will be to swell the Democratic
presidential vote. With the same loyalty
to the national ticket now pervadinl

been Democratic in every presidential
election since Tilden, and that 1t will b'
Democratic again there is no fair reason

Salt,


Mr.. Blaine lately undertook TO talk
about salt. Reading from the London
Times an account of the English salt
trust he asked impressively whether the
Michigan association and the English
combination were likely TO prove rivals.
The New York Times suggests that Mr..
Blaine can find out all about this by con.
sulting Candidate Morton, who as the
head of a banking firm having the fnan-
cial agency of the English salt trust
ought to know all about it. The Times
lorgets Mr. Blaine's delicate consideration
for trusts and his firmly declared
belief that they are private concerns. Mr..
Blaine's point was that a removal Of the
tariff on salt as proposed by the Mills
bill would not give relief from the exac-
lions OF the trust. Perhaps not, but it
would give relief from taxation and a
sharp reproof to those protected indus
tries that have SO combined. To get a
proper idea Of this high tariff monstrosity;
contemplate the following official figures
Value at the mines of salt produced in
the United States in 1856, $4,736 ,5S5.
Value OF salt in the year ending June,
1887, q, ,355,9i7. Duty collected, s67G, ,sG5.
In spite of duty equivalent to 79.OS per
cent ad valorem on salt in bulk and 80. 80
per cent. on salt in bags, aud in spite
of the Michigan salt combination to
which Mr.. Blaine referred, the American
psople are obliged TO pay heavy tax on
one-sixth Of the salt they use in order
that combination in America may be
protected from combination in England
In taxing the remaining five.sixths. Even
II Mr.. Blaine should learn from Mr.. Nor.
ton that his English principals believe
that removal of the tariff would give
them the monopoly and induce them
TO put up the price we should
DO inclined to doubt it. The
hrst effect Of such removal would
undoubtedly be to cheaper salt, and it il
probable that the development of an ex.
port trade OF manufactures with South
America, would stimulate our home salt
Industry, and keep down prices, for we
would then take from England in place
OF salt the raw material of manufacture

An Honest New York fam,

Chairman Quay, with his body guard of
ill-smelling Pennsylyanians, has caused
vary careful attention to be paid by the
New York authorizes to the registry lists
and the purity of the coming election
which is just what Mr.. Quay said that he
wanted done and that he declared he was
willing to pay $4,000 TO get. 1t may
have been somewhat of a shock to
him to find that the first call upon
his fund was for the conviction of a
Republican repeater; but it must have
aatisaed him that there was perfect agree.

authorities as 10 the propriety of letting

II would appear that a former secretary
of the American legation at Stuttgart, and
presumably Republican, has been crack :
ing his too joints for the OF tho
King OF Wurtenberg. A German paper
complains that this party with two other

invalid king by no means OF spiritualism.
In the light of the Fox exposuies OF the

amusing.
