WELL, well! The New York Sun ad-
vises an inquirer to vote for Protection
Democrats, like Randall, for Congress,
but in order that Democrats may have
the post-Ofiices, to vote for Cleveland for
President. The advice is so absurd that
intelligent men will not seriously regard
it. The way to down Free Trade is to
snow Cleveland under.

THE Indiana State Federation of
Trades and Labor Unions is no longer
an organization for protection and ben
eft to its members but an out-and-out
political club controlled by the DemOc-
racy. To accomplish this it was neces-
sary, by fraudulent means, to bar out
forty Republican delegates in order that
the politicians might pass certain reso-
lutions conceived by the Democratic
party. This dishonest method of using
a laboring mems organization to further
disreputable and desperate political
schemes will recoil on its originatorS and
result not only to their detriment, but
to the disadvantage of the organization
which is sure to be split into factions by
such an unweleome course. The Indi-
ana Democrats are in hard plight and
know it, and there is nothing too dis
honest or indecent for them to attempt.
Men who will uphold the forgery of
election returns rs the Democrats of In
did, will not be slow in re-
sorting to any fraud or crime.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Gov. LUCE was renominated by the
Republicans of Michigan.
THE betting on the election in New
/ York is now two to one i'll favor of Har-
riSOn-that is, that Harrison will carry
New York.
/ TIE leading aad the most widely cir
culated Democratic paper is the New
/ York World. Tie other day it pro-
claimed that 1.-The protective system is
an unmitigated curse"
1.-The Golden Club is irving to raise a
large srm of money to be spent in furth-
ering the Free Trade propaganda in the
United States. Lord Brassey has given
&l,00O, Others less, and the hat is going
round. London Iron E1u
II is admitted by the Brooklyn On. W
Eagle that there is great discomfort
among Democratic workingmen along
the river front, and that there will be
large Republican accessions in conse-
quence.
TIE rate of wages in the iron indus
try in England has fallen 81 per cent.
during the last - years. During the
same time wages in the United States
have risen in some branches over fifty
per cent.
JOHN TAYLOR & Co, pork-packers
and wOOl-sellers, of Trenton, n. J., have
suspended with heavy liabilities. The
agitation of the tariff question by the
Democrats is assigned as the cause of
the failure.
THE last time the Democrats cut down
the tariff to reduce the revenues, in 1916,
importations largely increased and the
customs revenue rose from $26,00OO00
to S46,OOO,OO0. That is about the way
it would work now.
Nor ONE English newspaper has vet
said word in praise of Harrison and
Morton and the Republican platform.
Not one English newspaper ever uttered
a word in praise of Abraham Lincoln
until after he was dead, says the Cleye-
land Leader.
GENERAL BEN BUTLER tells the New
York World that he is heartily in SYM
pathy with the principles of protection"
and that he will be heard from on that
issue before election. He also saws that
Massachusetts will give 10000 Republi-
can majority this year.
THE New York Press enjoins work
men to remember these three things:
Free trade means the competition of
European wages with American wages.
immigration means that American wa
ges are better now. The result of the
competition would be disastrous to the
American wage-wOrker.
THE United States manufactures near
ly fOur-ffths as much cloth and clothing
as England, one fourth more than Ger
many and a third more than France,
and its people use nearly all of it. The
pauper labor of England produces more
than twice as much as its wealthy and
poor alike can afford to buy
THE Democrats are about to distrib-
ute the Mills bill as campaign dOcu-
ment. 1t is great work for the Re-
publican party, and the more of the
cryptic measure the Democratic COM
mittee puts into the hands of the work
ingmen the bigger will be the majority
for Harrison and Morton.

lucky. who went to California in 1S49
The elder Williams settled Virginia City,
where he was, after few years. elected TO
the Office OF Prosecuting Attorney. Mr..
Williams was retained as the general at
torney for large mining company whose
headquarters were at Virginia City. This
company became very heavily involved
and was on the verge of bankruptcy Mr.
Williams learned It's condition, and, ms he
had a claim Of 81 500 against the com.
pany for legal services. he brought suit
and attached its property. His attachment
made him preferred creditor, and when
the property Of the company, consisting
solely of its mines, was sold, Mr.. Williams
purchased 1t. bidding no moro than the
amount of his judgment He secured a
perfect title to the property. but made no
attempt TO develop or dispose OF 1t.
Years passed away, and Mr. Williams
had been elected to the Office Of Attorney.

approached by representative of Flood,

The property is not for sale" said Mr.
Williams.
The agent left, but the next day he
came back and offered Mr.. Williams
$500, 900 for the property. The offer was
declined.
The negotiations were then taken up by
member Of the firm of Flood, Mackay i
O'Brien. AS a result, Mr.. Williams put
his property into the firm. taking In turn
