If Mr. Blaine cares to investigate he will
learn that one of the most arbitrary and alb
solute trusts in this country is the coffin trust.
An undertaken recently stated to the writer
manufacturers of coffins and caskets of the
better grades, had fixed the retail prices of
those articles and no undertaken could buy
their goods if he cut the price one penny.
That trust was formed two or three years
ago and it has fattened on the bones of the
dead, and the tariff has nothing whatever to
do with its creation or power.
He will discover that the most gigantic
trust in the world is the Standard Oil trust,
which is in no way effected by the tariff
He will discover that the whisky trust ex
lists in all its glory-without regard to the
tariff
He will learn that with one or two excep-
tons all the trusts now in force in this country
have sprung up since Grover Cleveland be-
came President the Standard Oil and whisky
trusts being about the only exceptions.
He will learn that wheat corners, and corn
corners, and pork corners exist, and that they
are trusts as arbitrary as the sugar trus,
whenever their manipulators see fit to create
them.
He will learn that the great railway trunk
lines form trusts to pool their earnings, fix
rates of freight and passenger rates, with a
pool or trust commissioner to determine the
bers, and that they have no connection with
the tariff and can have no such connection

What Harrison Thinks.

II think our workingmen will wake up
to the fact that reduction in their wages,
which every candid advocate of Free
Trade or revenue reform admits must
come with the adoption of his theories

to % per cent,-is poorly compensated by
the cheap coat he is promised. This bull

The Mugwumps who voted for the Buff
falo politician on the ground that he was
a friend to Civil Service Reform, and now
stick to him because he is in favor of Free
Trade, do well not to say much now for
their candidate because of his course on
the former. The following figures show
to be the most consummatc hypocrite who
ever couspicuously figured in American
politics; Cleveland found 1859 Presi-
dental postmasters in office, and he has
removed or changed 1000 of them.
His Postmaster General out of $4,000
employees under him, has removed 5000.
Out of 81 ministers abroad the Presi-
dent has removed or changed 81.
Out of $4,000 places he has removed or
changed $1,000, and out of the 43, 900 there
are not 80 Republicans among the appoint

Bismarck Testimony for Protection

Bismarck's Testimony for Protection.
Among the great statesmen of the pres
ent century it is conceded, on both sides
of the Atlantic, that the German Chan
cellor has few equals. Cool, sagacious,
practical, and never the victim of theories,
he has brought his country to unity and re-
markable power, placing her first among
the nations of Europe. So long as the
nth of May, 1882, Bismarck, in speech
before the German Reichstag, paid to the
Republican tariff this high eulogy. He
said:
The success of the United States in ma
terial development is the most Illustrious of
modern time. The American nation has not
only successfully borne and suppressed the
most gigantic and expensive war of all his
tory, but Immediately afterward disbanded
its Amy, found employ for all its sol
diers and marines, paid off most of its
debt, given labor and homes to all the I'M
employed of Europe as fast as they could
arrive within its territory, and still by sys-
TEN of taxation SO indirect as not to be per-
ceived, much less felt. Because it is my
deliberate judgment that the prosperity of
America is mainly due to its sy stem of pro-
tective laws. | urge that Germany has now
reached that point where it is necessary to
initiate the tariff system of the United
States.
Following the example of the United
States Bismarck put aside all false pride,
turned his back on the college professors
and Golden Club disciples, and succeeded
in bringing the German Parliament to
adopt Protective legislation for German
industries. Under this stimulating policy
German manufactures have been advanc-
ing rapidly. The Free Trade newspapers
in this country have been trying to make
capital out of the fact that the price of Ia
Dor is still low in Germany. The follow
ing facts are good reply to these mis-
leading representations of the Cleveland or
gans. German iron wages, which rose
for the first five years after Protection was
introduced and then fell, without, how
ever, reaching the previous level, have ad-
vance raises these wages to the highest
point they have ever reached. The eff
cheney of labor has also advanced under
the improved condition of Protection and
the cheapest pig iron in the world so far
as labor is concerned is now made in
Germany, with wages at higher point and
steadily rising. At the same time, the
export of German steel rails and iron is
leading foreign loans to be placed in Ger
many and stimulating its international
trade. In all parts of the commercial
world German productions are pushing
hard the productions of England, amply
indicating the Protective policy.

| Has every Town Committee in the State

That paragon of liars, the British
organ in our commercial metropo-
lis. in some respects more hostile to
American interests than its London name
sake-the New York Times utters the
following;
Two of his speeches have caused it to be
proved that the pauper wage earners of
Great Britain have larger proportion of
the savings banks deposits standing to their
credit than the protected wage earners of
Massachusetts and other States under our
II per cent tariff. Two other speeches have
widely advertised the fact that the chief
campaign speaker upon the Republican side
is also the chief defender of Trusts.
The public, which has so generally
read Mr.. Blaine's recent speeches can be
trusted to see how basely wicked his op-
ponents can utter falsehoods about what
he says.

one of the most generous and noble
hearts that ever beat in the breast of a
New England citizen is that of the veneer
able poet Whittier. For sixty years
through stirring prose and inspiring verse
he has sought the good of his country
cerc and fearless soul at an early day
placed him on the side of the slave and in
support of all measures pointing to his
liberation and to the safety of the country
from the corrupt rule of the slaveholding
democracy. Always an earnest Republi-
can since the logic of events and impera-
tive duty brought his party into existence.
He has stood by it by all the force of his
convictions aud his genius for what that
party could do for his country, and he
cannot now be diverted from its support
by side issues aud the false pretences of
its opponents. Neither English tlattery
nor Mugwump professions of special sane
tity have any tendency to cool his Ameri-
can sympathies and to cause him to tread
