by preserving the home market, has built up
the great industries which send these goods
abroad. Free traders ask if we can compete
with the old world in the manufacture of all
the articles, why do we need protection. The
answer is, we want to preserve the enormous
trade at home. The transfer OF this trade,
or any portion of it, to England would TO that
extent deprive labor in this country of en-
ployment. We now manufacture in this
country about 81 900, 900 900 worth of COM
modities. and pay laboring men each year,
who are directly employed in making them,
81 500, 900 900. If one-half this trade goes
to England. employment for labor in this
country will be correspondingly reduced and
wages for all laborers employed put upon a
plane with that of their fellows in the old
world. 1t IL the profit on manufactures and
the wages paid labor that makes business,
builds cities, develops agricultural resources

Brazen EffronteTy.

Hypocrisy, whether in religion, politics,
or the ordinary affairs Of life, is certainly
not an attractive sin, and no genuine
characters indulge in it. Undoubtedly TO
the scribes and pharisees Of the times of
the Jewish decadence it seemed justifiable,
if not pleasing. At any rate, those high
pretending gentlemen made use Of it not
exceeded by any in modern days, unless
Grover Cleveland be an exception.
Having removed or superseded nearly
$1,000 American officials to give place to
his partisans, a magnitude and extent of
prescription for opinions sake that none
of his predecessors ever equalled, largely
distancing Jackson, Marcy and Pierce.
Cleveland has just had the audacity to
send to Congress special message com
mending the methods Of civil service
reform, Was there ever such brass since
that metal was first dug from the earth !.

MIR. RANDALL's DEFEAT.
Statement OF His Friends to How that
Event Was Brought About.

Washington Despatch to Hartford Courant. !
MIR. Randall's friends are quite open in
their charges that the recent apparent en-
dorsement of President Cleveland by the
Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee
was brought about by the active work of
office holders, by threats against office hold
ers appointed through Mr.. Randall, and the
direct use of money in buying the votes of
some members OF the committee. The asser-
ton is made that letters were written from
here to office holders in various parts of the
State, ordering them to go to Harrisburg to
help Mr.. Scott. Before the committee met
tifty-nine members were pledged to support
Mr.. Randall. The statement is made with
out qualification that it is now known to Mr..
Randalrs friends here that several of these
were bought for $1,000 each. Those in office
by Mr.. Randalls assistance who could not be
approached with money were threatened with
removal if they dared to support him with
their votes. In regard to the meeting of the
New York Committee at Albany the same
tactics as TO rallying office-holders were pur-
sued. There is no charge that money was
used there, but the power of patronage was
used as far as it could be made effectual.
The most significant fact that has been ascer-
tanned here in regard to the New York result
is that several of those who voted for the
Cleveland candidate are really opposed to the
denomination of the President.

The Way Is Plain.

The cry Of the Free Traders, which
Cleveland repeated in his message, is for
the removal of the war taxes. They seem
to think the country has forgotten that the
Free Trade Democrats were those who
made the war on the Union, and thus rem
dered the war taxes IA necessity. They
appear to overlook the fact that the enor-
nous expenses which the American Free
Traders directly caused are far from be-
ing liquidated. The Nation still has II war
debt Of 81 ,2OO, 00O, 900, the annual interest
of which is $50, 000, 900, while the annual
pension payment amounts to 5000, 200,
which must be soon increased, if Justice
and humanity are to be fully awarded to
the veterans who perilled health, life and
limb in defence OF the Union. re this
must be added ST., zoo. 900 per anunm for
the sinking fund. Here, then, are not less
than Sl50,0O0,000 per annum to he provid-
ed for by war taxes. 1t certainly is well
to reduce the war taxation, and common
sense aud enlightened patriotism pro-
nOunce In favor of abolishing the taxes
which are the most Objectionable to the
the people, those to which the country
was unaccustomed when no war debt
existed. The whole internal
revenue machinery and its financial re-
suits were the creation of the war, never
designed to be permanent, therefore should
he ~ rapidly abolished a. practicable.
Retaining ut most the tax on liquors not
used In the arts and manufactures, let all
the remaining revenues be raised by the
taxation of foreign imports, which was
the policy of Washington Hamilton,
Adams, Madison, the second Adams, of
Jackson, Van Buren, and nearly all Of the
Presidents and the former best statesmen
Of the country. This reduction of the
internal revenues and the removal of the
duties on sugar will be all the reduction
the credit and good faith of the nation can
possibly allow Thus tariff reform and
the protection of American labor can be
easily harmonized. and no legitimate in
terests OF the American people be injured
or placed in jeopardy. Let Cleveland,
Carlisle, Watterson aud their bitter parti-
san associates back out of their impracti-
cable schemes. cut clear of their British
allies, and help the Republicans give the
mercial prosperity and peace. The facts
are plain and the path of duty easy to be
travelled.

Omaha is a long distance westward.
well, placed in that vast and rich agricul-
tural country. where il has been said again
and again that the Republicans were los
ing numbers and courage because of the
growing strength of the Free Trade senti-
ment. In saying this the Democratic edi-
tors aud correspondents have constantly
overlooked the fact. that no people so
much require diversified industry and
home markets as the farmers. The
Omaha Republican has the deserved repu-
tation of being a level-headed American
newspaper which thoroughly under
stands the interests of the section it rep
resents. Ii aims to be careful and correct
in its facts, knowing well that it is by
their collation. and testimony that practi-
cal truths are to be deduced. Discussing
editorially the sweeping and poorly d.
gested measures of tariff reduction advo-
Gated by Cleveland and his Free Trade
associates, the Republican says:
at is simple statement of fact that man.
ufacturcrs in this country are selling some
classes Of goods at price as low as the duty
which is imposed upon them by the law The
law keeps out foreign manufacturers, but
home competition reduces prices. 1t will
not be denied that the working classes in this
country are better paid than those of the old
world. 1t is not true, on the other hand,
that the cost of living is much greater in this
country than abroad. The best proof of this
10 the fact that many of our products are con-
sumed abroad. Over 1913, OOO. 900 wards of
our protected cotton cloths are annually used
in the old world. In addition to this the
United States last year exported $l,575. 900
worth of manufactured cotton goods We
