vears ago. Under IL wages have steadily risen
in Germany While Mr.. Scburz is about 1t, why
doe, he not tell the whole TRUTH Wages may
bs bIgber in England than in Germany, but the
difference is less than IL was when Bismarck was
n free-trader, and it is rapidly disappearing
When both countries had free tra1c, wages wert
lower in Germany. Under Profession there
has been a steady rise in wages, and great impulse
has been given to home industries
According to Mayor Chaplin, the general cause
of reform has been most effectively served by
Governor Hill" The chief magistrate OF BROOK
lyn is too vague. Does he mean temperance
REFORM or ballot reform, or reform in Aqucduct
methodist He should issue an addendum to his
eulogy of Hill and supply the missing informa-
ton.
At Shclbyville Mr.. Thurman had good deal
to say about the trying circumstances under
which Mr. Cleveland assumed the Presidency ana
also about the Administration that has been
so cleany, so upright, so honest. so patnotlc.
He also said that Mr.. Cleveland was no " second
rate man, and that he was upright, INDUS
trious, courageous But Mr.. Thurman SAID not
a word in regard to the one-term Principe III
reference to the Presidency which nc was so
earnest for in 1872, and he was as silent as the
grave on the use the President has made ana Is
making of the immense patronage OF the Govern
ment to procure his denomination and secure his
reelection If his speech at Columbus In 1872
was only intended to be of force when a Republ-
can President was in office, Mr.. Thurman ought
to have the manness to say so.
"Tbe Syracuse Courier" finds Omens OF Demo-
cratic victory lying loose around the country
Omens. eh P Now, il O really thorough exam na-
ton was instituted it will probably be discovered
that these omcns have their abiding place in the
off eye of The Courier"
Occupants of crowded tenement houses IN the
lower part Of the city are expected to be Crate
full to Mayor Hewitt on account Of his talk about
the necessity for small parks and some of the
Mayors supporters have declared that the plans
for creating such breathing places were first pro-
posed by him. DR.. John T. Nagle of the Health
Department, was an advocate Of such parks before
Mr.. Hewitt was, and DR.. Nage's views on the
subject were printed in The Tribune two years
before Mr.. Hewitt became Mayor. Cpriously
enough DR.. Nagle is a Democrat, and belongs to
the Tammany organization, which Mr. Hewitt so
ably denounces.
Taxpayers, when making up their minds whom
to support for Mayor, should not forget that the
increase of nearly 81, 900 in the appropria-
tons for this year over last year was made by
Board Of Estimate Of which Mayor Hewitt was
the most conspicuous member
We were confronted by conditions not theories
the Mills bin, It was such poor measure Of relief
say to you, let us take steps, and get
the great Democratic doctrine Of equal burdens and
equal prvllegcs.-speech OF Congressman Russell
(Dem.), Massachusetts, at Albany, Oct. Is.
Mr. Russell gave the free-trade Democracy
great comfort during the tariff debate in the
House, and he Is now in urgent demand on the
stump He is too candid Free Trader for cam
paign audiences in this State, and blurts out too
much truth to be useful TO the Democratic cause
He wants more radical legislation than the Mills
bill, because he aims to get as near free trade as
the Democratic party has been in the past: and
that is very near indeed for in its platforms Of
S56 and $50 the party declared for pro
gressive free trade throughout the world" This
is Mr.. Russelrs reading of the policy of bis party
yet the President would have credulous voters in
this great manufacturing State believe that he
and his party have not entered upon free-trade
crusade.
In his letter Of acceptance General Harrison
said that the Free Traders had magnified and
nursed the surplus" seemingly for the purpose
of exaggcratng the evil in order to reconcile the
people to the extreme remedy they propose"
That is the very thing the Treasury Department
is doing through Acting-Secretary Thompson, as
witness the statement given by him to the press
OH Tuesday afternoon
The Sun" says that Governor Hill abstans
from the of liquor, and insists that he is the
real temperance candidate. II it he true TINT
Governor Hill finds that his own safety lies in
avoiding temptation, he ought TO be thousand
times ashamed to be the means of multiplying
temptations for others. II it were not for him,
we would have now on the statute-boolk law UNI
der which the number of saloons would proba-
bly, be decreased onc-half and every practical
man knows that The number of temptations to
drink is in proportion to the number of saloons.
50 l can usually go past eight Saloons" said the
to Cardinal Manning, bnt the ninth
gets me- High License tries to close not only
the ninth saloon, but as many Of the eight as
possible. No, it does not help Governor HIS
at all to show that he appreciates the wisdom
Of temperance. 1t makes his subserviency to tho
saloon interest all the more criminal
