A DEMOCRATIC CRY,

Our democratic friends, in asking to
be given another lease of life in Office,
say: "See how the country prospers
under democratic rule" True, the
country is prosperous, and the demo-
Gratis are in power. But the PROPOSE
ton should have been stated in this
way: "See how the country prospers
in spite of democratic rule"
The enormous aggregate increase in
wealth in this country the past twenty
years is without parallel in the history
of nations, and the whole world stands
amazed by it. Tue stimulus of neces-
sity created by the war was the begin
ming of our phenomenal prosperity, but
we ask any candid man, no matter what
his party, Do you believe if, at the
close of the war, the tariff had been re-
moved, and England permitted to POUR
the products of her cheap labor in at
our ports, we would have enjoyed the
great prosperity with which We have
been blessed?
The Omaha Republican, commenting
upon this last resort cry OF the demo-
Gratis, truly and well says:
The democratic party found the coun-
try prosperous made go by wise legis-
lation of republican congresses. There
has never been time since the war
when the republican party had not the
power to prevent the repeal of those
laws, and the country is prosperous I'M
der democratic rule because the party
cannot help it. 1t has done its worstb by
The election of a free trade president,
and by the passage Of the Mills bill
through the house. It now asks the
people to take away the restriction. and
to give the democratic party unlimited
power to make laws and enforce them.
The announced policy of the party is to
change the whole economic system which
brought US prosperity, and to substitute
Tor it an experiment which has carried
disaster to every nation which tried it.
We do not believe the people of this
country will do anything SO suicidal

moved and therefore Canada smiles and
is happy. &
The Canadians, or some Of them, have
been manifesting IN exuberance Of Joy
over Cleveland's nomination. Il was
Cleveland everywhere and il he had
been standing as candidate for presi-
dent OF Canada instead Of the United
States, the feeling in his favor
could not have run higher. But
some of the lcng-headed Kanucks
very soon realized that Canadian en-
thusiasm would do Cleveland more in.
jury than good, and accordingly began
to admopish the jubilant friends Of
Cleveland In Canada that they must not
let their felicity be known in this coun-
try. For example, here We find the the
cautious Halifax Herald saying:
There is but slight doubt but that we
Canadians will have a large sympathy
with President C!eveland's candidature.
and it would be unfortunate If any ex-
preston Of this sympathy on our part
should serve to emba-rass the democratic
party in those states where
the real contest centers. The
southern states have very friendly feel
ing toward the Canadian provinces, but
they are already strong in their adhesion
to the democratic party. The present
contest will be close. The odds are
heavily in favor of the republicans; but
inssmuch as We desire to see Presidsnt
Cleveland successful, it is most certainly
advisable that the Canadian prese should
guard against embarrassing his party
and precluding his success ~ rendering
his admins ration indiscriminate and
fulsome compliments.
The president is very popular citizen
outside of his own county.

THE ISSUE OF TO-DAY.

Patrick Ford, the editor of the Irish
World, contributes valuable article to
the current number of the North Ameri-
can Rerier. As might be expected Of q
man who has ever been the champion Of
the rights Of his countrymen, both here
and at home, Mr.. Ford selects as his
subject, 1.-THE Irish Vote in the Presi-
Dental Election plain and forcible
statement of the position of intelligent
Irish-Americans upon the pressing ques-
ton of the honr. There is no question
ing of Mr.. Ford's loyalty to the Irish
people and bis honesty is above suspi-
cion. In pointing out the direction Of
the interests OF the Irish-American voters
Ford says:
The issue to-day is the tariff. It il
the American system versus the British
colonial system. The Irish instinctively
are protectionists. Nineteenth-twen-
tieths of them are workingmen, and
looking at the matter as q question OF
wages, they very naturally object to
free trade. Knowing this, the democrat
ic politicians, from Grover Cleveland
down, are at pains to make the working
people believe that free trade is beside
the issue; but Henry George and every
honest free trader in the lard say it is
step in the right direction, and the Eng
ish press, which are concerned about
our national contest only in 80 far az the
result may effect English interests, hail
Cleveland's policy with cheers, and hope
and pray for his success. The fact that
the Lion and Unicorn have taken the
stump for Cleveland and Thurman Is
not calculated to hurt Harrison and
Morton in the estimate Of the Irish, who
will, I promise, give good account Of
themselves in the pending presidential
election.

says: The republican party is rarely
fortunate this year in the fact that it has
an issue SO clear, SO vest, Ed incidentally
important to both labor and capital that
all it's leaders are harmonizad in its sup
port. The issue of protection subordi-
mates all other issues and is the unifier
all old factions and leaders. What
Mr.. Blaine or any other leader may
think or say about "trusss" may be very
important to the individual who dis
cusses it, but the party stands by its
Chicago creed, and the party is greater
than all its leaders.

ANXIOUS OUrsIDERs.

The Canadian newspaper, scarcely
lees than the full-6edged British press,
il cordially for Cleveland. Canada has
double reason to be grateful to the DEM
ocracy. The president and Mr. Bsyard
have only very recently negotiated q
treaty that gives to Canada every con-
ceasion she could aek, while, as Senator
Sherman 60 tersely said, it denies to
Americans their commonest rights,

Bishop VINCENT, Of the Methodist
church, explains that he is not third
party man, because, "being q true pro-
hibitionist, he is q republican" Bishop
Vincent yields as much influence in the
Methodist church as any one single
man. and when the third party people
are talking about swinging that church,
they should not forget him and Bishop
Merrill, and, in fact, the many leading
men in church councils who are stalwart
republicans.

and submitting to all the discomforts end
disadvantages of our commercial rivals.
The chief obstruction in the wa of a rev.
enue tariff are the wages paid American
workingmen, and any return to that policy
involves q reduction of the cost of labor.
We cannot afford, Mr.. President, to have
cheap labor in the United States. Cheap
labor means cheap men and dear money. /
would rather elevate and improve the con-
dition of my fellow citizens than increase
the value of money and the power Of 'mon-
ey bags" This is a republic of free and easy
citizenship. The government is in the hands
of the masses and not of the few. This is our
boast, and it is q proud one. The condition
of the masses, their WELL being, their intel
igence, their preparation for the civil duties
which rest upon them, depend largely upon
the scale of industrial wages. It is essen
tial, therefore. that the best possible wages
attainable shall be secured and maintained.
This is vital and fundamental. We cannot
without grave danger and serious disturb
ance-we ought not under any circum.
stances-adopt q policy which would scale
down the wages and diminish the comforts
of the American vorklngmen. Their vel
elevation, are closely related to the welfare
and Independence and progress of the re-
public. We have got no pampered class in
this country, and We want none. We want
the field kept open.
Free trade, or revenue tariff, will of ne
cessity shut them out. It has no respect for
labor. II. holds it as the mere machinery of
capital. It would have cheap men that il
might have cheap merchandise. With all of
its boosted love for the struggling millions,
it Is infinitely more interested in cutting
down the wages Of labor than in saving Is

her head resting slightly against the

The conductor laid his hand OIL the

the least possible bit OF a shake, while
with the other hand he rang the bell
