Du.is. Rsauesa b, RepubIienn..

One Of the Democratic partv's favorite
modes Of attempting to impose upon the
uniformed voters is TO assert that our pres
ent tariff is a war" tariff, and that the
Republicans never have consented and new
er will consent to change it, How false
such assertions are the Nashua N. II. Tel
egraph very neatly shows in this compact
statement of some of the tariff changes
for which the Republican party is responsi-
ble
The Republican party reduced the duty
on steel rails from SIS to Sl7.
The Republican party abolished the duty
ON coffee
The Republican party abolished the duty
on tea.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on hides
The Republican party abolished the duty
on camphOr.
The Republican party abolished the duty
ON indigo
The Republican party abolished the duty
ON maccaroni.
The Republican party abolished the duty
ON nutmegs.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on bleaching powders.
The Republican party put sago on the
free list.
The Republican party put shellac ON the
free list.
The Republican party put raw silk on
the free list
The Republican party put tin bars on the
free list.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on anthracite coal aud reduced the duty Of
bituminous from 81 25 to 70 cents per ton
These are some of the things which the
Bourbon shriekers about the war tariff
never refer 20.

4 majority Of these articles are actually
cheaper here than in England, and in no
case does the difference in price approach
the duty. Let every workingman cut out
this table, and confront the President :
absurd theory with condition which ought
To he satisfactory to any patriotic Ameri-
can. This table could be supplemented by
ju0 other articles, the prices of which in
this country and England give the lie to
both Cleveland and Thurman absurd tale
about the consumer paving the amount Of
the duty in the price of the domestic article
which he buys. In many cases in the tex
tile industries the actual price of the do
mestlc article is not more tnan the rate of
duty per yard
The figures presented above-and they
could be supplemented by similar figures in
every protected industry-show that the
duty does not operate AS any tax whatever
upon the American consumers, since, upon
the whole, American prices are as low as
the foreign Take blankets for example
and the price here in the United States are
no more than for the same quality Of hlan
kets in London. The Press will challenge
any free trader to disprove this fact For
/ three months We had samples of all sorts of
woolen clothing in the office, and were pre-
pared to prove that ready made clothing
was as cheap and as good here As in Lon
/ don, and not IA free trader dared to accept
our challenge. As result we hear no
nore about the poor mans clothing and
blankets being taxed. The point of
the President message and letter is being
met on every hand by intelligent, practical
business men, and there is no possible dan
| ger of wide-awake woI kingmen being
caught by any such self evident fasehood.

Dr. Sir Morrell Mackenzie, the English
man who was called to attend the late En-
peror Frederick has written a book upon
his treatment, and in some way copious ex
tracts from it have been premat urely pub

Germany and much interest throughout
Europe and America. 1t charges bad man
agement on the part of the German doe
tors, especially DR.. Bergman, and eX-
presses the opinion that this shortened the
emperor's life by at least ten months 1t
maintains that inserting the canula in the
windpipe was unnecessary, and was bung
lingly done, and that the royal patient was
simply tortured to death. There has been
for some time an ugly feeling in Germany
against the English II is so bitter that
young Emperor William has for long
time found it hard work 10 be civil to his
English mother. Dr. Mackenzie's book will

THE CAMPAIGN.

1t is an old adage that when gentlemen
who have Inadequate ideas of the relations
of meum and tuum fall into disagree
ment. honest men receive their dues 1t
is also true that when Southern Demo
cratic politicians get provoked with one
another, the truth is likely to be told. A.
e. Pendergast, the chairman Of the Demo
cratic executive committee in Roger Q.
Mills Texas district, has resigned his chair
manship. and has thrown his influence IN the
campaign in favor Of Mr. Jones, Mr.. Mills
opponent Mr.. Jones, in his letter Of resig-
nation says that he expects to receive the
maledictions Of the demodratic machine pol
iticians, but claims to be quite as good a
Democrat ~ Mr.. Mills himself He then
goes ON to illuminate Mr.. Mills record as
as follows:
have never been an ardent prohibitionist
aud then a violent prohibitionist turn
coat. as their idol, Col Mills, has been, nor
have ever PUBLICLY denounced any other
Democrats who had been my warm support
ers, and said they were unworthy 10 partic-
ipate in a democratic organization, because
they differed with me ON question which
the democratic state convention solemnly
declared was no test Of democracy, As Col
Mills has done. have never been know
nothing, and denounced democracy As Col
Mills has been and done. have never been
a "whig" and supported its doctrines against
Democracy, as Col Mills has done. ! have

not been an Office holder for fifteen years
and drawn about $1,000 yearly from the
packets of my people aud then gone to an
other section Of the country and made
speeches to the capitalists and monopolsts
telling them in substance that by the pas
sage Of my bill will put net profit in your
pockets ON all YOU sell OF five per cent more
than YOU now make under the law, and
thereby attempt to nlure my own people
and ruin some of them, as Col Mills has
done ! am not now and never have been
iu favor of that vicious system Of legislation
which builds up and enriches one section
and one set of men 10 the injury OF my own

,lo on the wool question and yet he is con

uan of them all, and the worst Of Dem
ocrats
This picture Of the author Of the Demo
cratic free trade bill is painted by an artist

that even IN the solid state Of Texas there

Apropos of the discussion now being en-
gagged in by Rev, DR.. Howard Crosby aud
other eminent clergyman, the New York
Tribune has this 10 say The average lay
man cannot understand why the subject of
Bible wines should he considered 50 impor-
tant by modern Christians, The use of fer
mented liquors is a practical question that
ought to be decided by the world Of today
on its merits, irrespective of the usages of
an Asiatic race two or three thousand years
ago. If, as some total ahstainers say, it is
unsafe to use fermented wine even in the
holy communion, that fact once proved
ought 10 settle the question no matter what
kind Of wine was used in the time Of Christ
This is in strict accordance with the second
great command of the gospel, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself If, on the
other hand, Christian men may and do use
fermented wine with entire safety-if, in
fact, such moderate Use is the truest form
of temperance, then also the question is
decided for the church of today even if the
ancient Jews had never heard of a ferment
ed wine.
