HUGH MCCULLoCH, an old-line Re
publican, Secretary OF the Treasury of
the United States under Presidents
Lincoln, johnson and Arthur, and
conscientious and upright man says the
Philadelphia Herald, is going to vote
for Grover Cleveland and Allen G..
Thurman because those men stand for q
lioeraI and progressive reform OF the
tariff.
Mr.. McCulloch belongs 10 that large
class of our citizens who, earnestly SYM
pathizing with the Republican party
when IL meant something, have always
been In harmony with the Democratic
idea of low taxa ion and economical
public expenditures. With the disap-
pearance Of the issues and the accom-
plishment OF the aims which called the
Republican party into existence, they
have maintained a nominal connection
with it for the sake OF what It has been.
for past associations sake and in the
hope that that organization would at
tempt something in answer to the over
POPdAoA Az ASAAOA
from the burden of needless taxation.
The present campaign having clearly
demonstrated the utter vanity of such
hopes, it is but natural that earnest,
conscientious men of the stamp Of Hugh
McCulloch should either vote for Mr..
Cleveland this time or give in their
positive, absolute adherence to his par
ty without any qualification whatever.
Every day that passes seems to dem
onstrate more clearly the gathering
force of the reform wave and TO show
the wisdom OF President Cleveland in
forcing the issue early In the canvass,
and every day, as it brings the great
contest nearer, brings with it increased
hope that the needless burdens shall be
lifted from the shoulders OF the toilers,
and that the time is not far distant that
be who must earn his bread IL the
sweat OF his face shall not have that |
necessity rendered more grievous by |
.he act OF his own government.

THE State OF Indiana is red hot with
politics this week and the Hooziers are
treated to the best speeches that the
political market can afford. Governor
Hull, of New York, is telling the people
of Indiana why they should vote for the
Democratic ticket and good govern
ment, while James G.. Blaine is asking
them to vote for Harrison and telling
them why "trusts are largely private
affairs" and the lesser lights of both
parties are making the crossroads re-
sound with their eloqueuce. Hill and
Blaine are 6t representatives OF
their parties, both went into politics
pOor-Hili is now as poor as when he
began, although he has occupied high
places, and Blaine who built up large
fortune on his salary as Congressman
is fit representative of the trusts and
combines that are the fsvorite children
OF tie Republican party.

Another Blaine BIunder.

Ii the volpminons and volcanic Blaine
be not called off by the managers Of the
Repue4icau campaign, poor Mr. Hsrri-
son will soon not have friend left.
His last maladroit performance is his
denuDciation OF the Cleveland admins
tratios for depositing surplus money in
national banks. instead of letting II lie
idle in the Treasury. This is denounced
as a scheme for the emolument OF Dem
ocratie bankers at the public expense.
AS the banks which secure deposits
OF pubic money have to put up Govern
ment bonds the market value of which
is in excess Of the amount OF such de-
posits N a security therefor, the differ
money and the bonds is inconsiderable.
There js no great profit for the banks.
The object o. the Government in pu..
ting the money where it might be used
was to prevent the mischief resulting
from tie withdrawal from circulation
OF money needed in current business
operations When there was a tigh ten
ing OF the money market last year Re
pnblicaS newspapers were urgent in in
sisting that the Treasury should use ite
privilege of making deposits in nation al
banks in order to relieve the stringency.
Ii the money deposited in banks had
been used for .he purchase of bonds the
premtsra would have been unreasonably
advanced, ard the process now going
on of saving s. in the interest on imma-
tured debt at a cost of 81 to the taxpayer
would have been made still more ex-
peDsiye.
The business men Of the country have
not been slow to exrol the careful and
conservative management of the Treas
ury for the last three years. They will
be suick to guage the demagogy of Mr..
Blaine's attack, and to resent the im-
putation be seeks to cast upon the
integrity of Democratic officers.-Phila.

THE Emplre, the chief government
organ in Canada, asks: HAS it ever
happened In the history Of the world
that one country took such liberty with
the possessions of another as the Uni
ted States are taking with Canada,
without having first resolved upon
going to war with the insulted na-
tion ?r and after long argument In
the negative, It says: "We are
10000 of British subjects. and al
though In the past we have submitted
patiently to the United States inter-
ference by methods more offensive than
language can well express, the time has
at length arrived when, on both sides
OF the international boundary, all fair
minded men must agree that thediguity
and honor of both countries call for the
abandonment of an attitude which con-
veys a standing insult and menace 10
the Canadian Dominion"

WHEN in Congress in 1880 Levi p.
Morton voted to put salt on the free
list, on the grounds that the salt in
dustry needs no protection, and that the
foreign sal. is best adapted to the max
ing of butter. AS late as November,
1885, he boas.e6 of that vote for free
salt What does he think of the Senate
bill, which does not even propose a re-
duction OF the high duty on this abso-
Lutte necessary of life Whatever he
may think, the Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency will swallow
theSenate bill as meekly as he swallow
ed the Chicago free whisky platform.

Is it Merely a Private Affairi

During the last ten days the sugar
trust has shut down two sugar refineries
in New England by order from the di-
rection of the combine. 1t was done to
limit production and enable the monopO-
ly trust to maintain or increase its ad-
vance IN the price of sugar. Is this
merely private affair
The owners Of the shutdown sugar
establishments suffer no loss by closing
their works and ping nothing. On the
contrary, they get their full share OF the
com bined profits of the monopoly COM
bine and make vastly more money than
they did when running their works In
legitimate competition for consumers.
The workiDgmen are summarily thrown
out of employ ment. but the sugar trust
and Mr. Blaine say that it is merely a
private affair. and idle labor must SUBJ
NIT. Is it merely private affair :?
The wheat combine of gamblers has
forced up the price of wheat and -four
from thirty to forty per cent. The
farmers who grow the wheat get little
or no benefit OF the advance in price
precipitated ty the combine. but the
consupers of bread pay the advance for
the benefit of the gamblers iand eyerv
home and table OF the land pays forced
tribute to the greed OF gambling COM
combine. Is 1t merely q private affair
Every cent of advance in the price Of
sugar means an added profit Of nearly
thirty millions year to the sugar trust;
and the same trust monopolists who tax
every sugar consumer in the United
States by arbitrary combine, sell their
sugars In Europe for less than they are
sold here. Is il merely private AFFAIR."
Every cent Of combine advance IN the
price Of wheat and flour means q tax
upon every table of the country without
added profit to the farmer. 1t Is simply
the gamblers combine TO tax every loaf
of bread that Is consumed. Is it merely
a private affair?
The wheat combine of gamblers Is
not the creation of our tariff laws. as we
are largely sellers of breadstuffs and
stan OF life whereby the markets are
purely q private affair? Is a govern
ment OF the people 30 feeble that it
cannot end the vocation OF the gambling
combine in bread
The sugar combine is the logical off,
spring of excessively protected refined
sugar. But for our tariff taxes, foreign
sugar would at once be here to undersell
our extor.ionate trust, bat high taxes
On one OF the commonest necessaries Of
life protect the greed of the combine
and make the people its easy prey. How
ong will . government of the people
accept either the gambler combine in
bread or the protected combine in sugar,
As merely q private affair ?-Phila.

THE proceedings taken by Attorney
General Tabor of New York, against
the leading corporations in the Sugar
Trust are in conformity with the Dem
ocratic doctrine defined by Judge Thur
man, that the formation o. trusts is
punishable under the common law, and
that in this country the law should be
put in force against them. A corpora
tiou holding powers and privileges from
the State is an artificial person Of limit
ed rights and well-defned obligations.
It is a delegate of the State. and Is, as
tions, liable to the application of the
legal maxim, Delegdtus Delegdre non
poteSt. It cannot transfer. with propri-
ETY., the responsibilities the State has
vested In it still lees can it transfer its
powers. while decreasing its account
ability by the attempt to vest them in
another.
The case, conducted upon these lines
on behalf of the State OF New York by
direction OF its Governor, will be watch
ed by every one with the utmost interest
s manly effort to protect the people
against impositions and exactions which
make living dear and tend to distress
labor. With the principal article OF
food now forced TO al unnatural price
by gigantic combinations, the problem
of how to prevent systematic and un-
considerable extortion is a very press
ing one.
The issue is one that cannot be di-
vorced from party politics, inasmuch as
these capitalistic sggregations are of.
shoots of the Republican plutocratic
system to which Democracy lie irrecon-
cilably opposed.

SENATOR PLUME, of Kansas, has
written aiet:er TO q brother Republican
of that State, which somehow has got in

principles and that there were grave
reasons to fear that the entire North
west would thereby be rendered ex-
tremely doubtful SO far az the Repub-
