OF Dead Statesmen.

Issues OF the Contest OF 1888-Sentiments
OF Dead Statesmen.
Here is a statement of the issues Of the
campaign that will do to reprint and re-
member:
Protection to American rights.
Protection to American labor threat
ened by low tariff and foreign cheap
wages.
Protection to American taxpayers
wantonly burdened for years by needless
taxation, which neither party supports,
but which Democratic majority main
tains.
Protection to the rights of American
voters, threatened at the north by the
suppression of the votes Of others at the
south, threatened at the south by the
suppression of their own votes.
Protection to American commercial
rights threatened by the surrender of the
fisheries treaty.
Protection to every American citizen
out Of Office against the political manipu.
lation of officeholders, and to every Amer
lean citizen in office against the pressure,
patronage and assessments of politicians.
And here are extracts from the senti-
ments of various presidents and states
men of the United States on the system
Of q protective tariff, which will also do
to reprint and remember:
George Washington: Congress have
repeatedly, and not without success, d.
rected their attention to the encourage
ment of manufactures. The object is of
too much consequence not to insure con-
tinuance of their efforts every way which
shall appear eligible"
Benjamin Franklin: EVERY manufac-
turer encouraged in our country makes
part Of O market for provisions within
ourselves, and saves so much money to
the country as must otherwise be ex-
ported to pay for the manufactures he
supplies"
Alexander Hamilton: "There are ma
tural causes tending to render the exter-
nal demand for the surplus of agricultural
nations precarious reliance"
Thomas jefferson: eve must now
place our manufacturers by the side of
the agriculturist. Experience
has taught me that manufactures are now
as necessary to our independence as to
our comfort"
John Quincy Adams: "The great inter.
ests Of an agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing nation are so linked in
union together that no permanent cause
of prosperity to one of them can operate
without extending it's influence to the
Others"
Andrew jackson: Upon the success of
our manufactures, as the handmade of
agriculture and commerce, depends in
in great measure the independence of our
country, and none can feel more sensibly
than | do the necessity of encouraging
them"
Daniel Webster: "That is the truest
American policy which shall most use-
fully employ American capital and Ameri.
can labor, and best sustain the whole
population. Agriculture, com.
merce and manufactures will prosper to.
gether or languish together"
Abraham Lincoln: II am in favor of q

one Of details as to O protective tariff. II
II much bigger than that. The Demo-
Gratis strike ut the heart Of the protective
theory, for they deny the right Of con-
gress to lay tax for protection. Demo-
Gratis who are too cowardly to come up to
the issus squarely will do well to drop
out and fall to the rear. The lodging
and squirming and lying Of 1880 are not
going to be repeated this year.-Wash-

Democratic Chinese Nonsense.

A great many Chinese Republican clubs
are being organized, and . great many
Mongolians are shouting for Harrison--in
the columns Of the Democratic press, and
nowhere else. AS the independent Chi
cago News remarks, "even IL Cinnamon
were really in favor of Harrison's election
they would have too much sense to let the
white people find 1t out. Therefore,
Democrats, stop talking nonsense and
tell the truth" Those writers evidently

little wit as Democratic reporter.

Clou,,s orwar

London. May 9,-The war cloud in
the east, which has hoated into dis
tanes which makes it look smaller than
during the winter, and which has been
hidden more or less from occident tai
Europe by the nearer clouds OF sorrow
and internal dispute which has shadow
ed the several nations, is coming sgain
into very prominent notice. You will
have noticed by the frequent news of
late concerning the underhande6 Bus
sian tricks in the Balkan etates, the
meddllng of Grecisn Macedonia, the
reported efforts OF Russia III Asia to di-
vert English attention and the mani
feBtly lively interest which Lord Salia-
barry has found it ADVISABLE to take in
eastern movements, that there is more
or less active reRwakening OF openly hos.
tile maneuvers. and thGs if war breaks
out the relations OF France to it are
likely to be subsidiary, az sort Of
sklrmishing auxiliary to Russia, while
the line OF battle will fringe Austria,
Turkey and Germany. The suItan's ad-
visors evidently take this view of the
matter, for the porte hes sanctioned
elaborate plans for the complete fortifi-
cation OF Ardianopie and the Tchatilla.
The sultan will shortly give his personal
endorsement to the completed work
which will then be pushed with all
possible speed. Tchataldja, which is
about three miles from Pers, will be-
come the center Of large entrenched
camp, capable OF holding $4,000 troops.
It will be made Che pivot OF large army
of defense, OF which the right wing will
be by the sea OF Marmora. The whole
position will be defended by an army OF
100000 men. This is very important
sign OF the times, and shows that in the
event OF war, the decisive battle is to be
bought in the reighborhood OF Tohat-
aldia, and that Oonstantinopla is being
secured as strongly as possible against
an attack from the northeast. It is an
old story that the war party in Russia,
which Is powerful in the ascendsncy at
ST. Petersburg, aims especially at the
| Russian occupation OF the capital of The
| Turkish empire. and all the indications
OF Mascovite plotting point to an inya-
| sion by way of eastern Roumania, hence
this particular line OF fortiflcation and
apparently definite policy OF the powers
to have the Turks await the Russian on
slaugbt just where it will be easiest TO,
them to tnrn the tide OF the war and
throw back the invading army upon the
Roumanian border. The foreign office
has nothing 10 say just now, but every
thing seems TO point 90 this attitude ol
| the eastern situation.

This from the Fargo Argus would no

This from the Fargo Argus would not
not have been given an editorial place
in that paper few months ago:
H. o. Hansborough, editor OF the
Devils Lake Inter Ocean, is square
toed republican, and his pane has been
suggested as one for consideration as q
delegate to the Chicago convention.
While Mr.. Hansborough has materially
differed with the Argus, it is due him to
say that SIS g party man, he is worthy Of
their consideration, and should he be
chosen, the republicans can be assured
that they will be worthily represented
from party standpoint.
Mr.. marlborough is one of the orig
inal and most uncompromising divi-
sionists OF north Dakota. He has fought
1t out upon that line since division be-
came an issue and never wavers from
his fealsy to the two state cause. This
and other symptoms encourage the be-
lief that the Argus believes in division.
Mr.. Hansborough would be the right
man for the divisi nists of the south to
support for place in the Chicago con-
vention.

subsidies will never dim the lustre OF
that political organization. By that
policy it has conquered the Wilderness
and made it possible for the settler to
own and occupy and utilize his quarter
section far beyond She pale OF old time
democratic civilization and to edd to the
produotiveness of the world. This policy
made possible the Union Pacific railroad,
the first iron highway across the coRti-

political possibility aad sent him to the
halls of congress-, from whence he came
to Dakota with we'll earned fame aud q
prestige which now induces him to seek
the democratic snffrages OF

his return to congress. 1t was therefore
an application of the republican policy
of encouragement to continental rail-
roads that brought Colonel Steele
TO the prominence he now occupies.
Bat for that policy he would not have
