tions-The Democratic Purpose.
The New York Herald takes the best
text OF the day in declaring that the
Democracy should make an earnest and
aggressive policy to elect q President
rep presenting q new and great political
dynasty. 1t explains the nonsense OF an
attempted hurrah canvass, and points
out most wisely the salient points that
should be correctly understood. says the
Herald: -,
"Weh hope for serious canvas! 1t will
be stern and aggressive. The Democrats
will surely nominate Cleveland, and his
election will mean the formation Of po-
liticsl DYNASTY as was seen under Jeffer-
son and Jackson. It does not appear
how the Republicans are to beat him, no
matter whom they nominate. Blaine,
who represents all that 10 bad, much that
10 enterprising, and some things that are
good in RepubIicanism Lincoln, tradi-
ton, a hope, and q name Allison, con-
servatiye, corned beef and cabbage work.

Eyarts, whose politics know no yester.
day, no tomorrow, Republican for reve-

influences they personify can, as tho cur.

"But always remember that 1t is the
unexpected that happens The armies
are now manmuvring for position. What
we want Ia a straight, square contest, and
no coon skin, hard cider business-no

The question whether the Schuylktll
miners shall remain on strike has re-
solved itself into conflict in which the
interest Of the miners IL on one side and
the interest of the men who get their liv-
ing out OF the Knights Of labor Is on the
other. 1t Is reported that "a number OF
leading labor leaders" are working hard,
with their mouths OF course, 10 induce
the miners to stand firm" and live Oh
promises and assessments instead OF
wages. II the men go to work like men
of sense the Knights will all lose their
power in the mining regions. That. how
ever. will be the fault OF nobody but their
own foolish leaders. Those leaders IN

The Philadelphia 7lms., protectiOnist
Journal, was impelled to declare only
few daye ago.
1.-THE protection Of American labor is
now vastly more imperilled by the extor:
tionate abuse OF protection than by all
its foes OF every shade. In point OF fact,
the protection OF the wages OF our
home industry Is entirely lost sight of by
many advocates of protective policy,
and protection is basely prostituted to In.

1t gave at the same time case In point
which we recommend to the attention OF
the committee:
"Of these trusts or combines, which are
now hanging like millstones about the
neck of protection, the steel trust Is the
most defiant OF common fairness and
most false to protection that created 1t
and gave millions Of profit to Its inves-
tors. Under open home competition
steel rails were sold at twenty-seven dol
lars per ton, and then sold at profit to
all who were properly equipped for pro-.
ducing them, but all the steel mills are
now united in trust or combine, and the
price demanded for steel rails is forty
dollars.--N. Y. Herald.
