ORIGINAL AND BORROWED.

The man or the paper that says
the Democratic party is not a free
trade party bellies history and re-
fuses the testimony of the recog-
nlzed leaders OF Democracy.
Secretary Bsyard is on record as
saying that Harrison's course In
the Chinese question was consistent
and intelligent, and can not hurt
him now. And Mr.. Bayard is good
Democratic authority.
The Administration has deter
mined to knife Governor Hill this
year in New York. Now suppose
Governor Hill concludes to use the
knife, who will get the worst OF it ?
Wait and see.
If the Democrats are sincere in
their professions about making the
necessaries of life cheaper for the
workingmen, why didn't they place
sugar on the free list in the Mills
bill?
The indianapolis Journals offer
of $1,000 for proof that Harrison
ever said that ga dollar a day is
enough tor any workingman" re-
mains unclaimed. A lie is not
susceptible of proof.
Intelligent Democrats seem to be
taking the advice Watterson gave
some time ago when he SAID "the
Democrat who is not a tree trader
should 90 elsewhere" They are
going over to Harrison with nu'
merous promptitude.
No Democrat has yet dared to
tackle the question now on the lips
of the people, "HOw can American
industries compete with foreign
ones, on a free trade basis, without
reducing wages here to the foreign
standard 7"
a Washington correspondent
speaks of free wool Mills's Curious
" CALM demeanor during the pro-
gress ola protection speech. When
Mr.. Mills's party is bOwled out in
November, there is reason to fear
that his fury will get the upper
hand.
The Cleveland and Thurman
campaign hat is what is known as
"pearl plug" and is embellishcd
with a black band two inches
wide. The Democracy puts on its
mourning insignia early. The black
band need not have been donned
before November.
The wOman's Christian Temper
ance Union organ has read Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster, Of Iowa, out of the
union because she will not aid the
free whisky Democracy in this elec'
ton. Mrs. Foster has done more
TO bring about pratlcal temperance
reform than the whole union, IN
Gliding the entire Prohibition third
party IN all the States of the
Union.
The Chicago Journal we'll puts
it:
"When the Democratic party
went out of power whisky was .
cents a drink, and a mans bust
ness suit of clothes cost $2j. Now,
whisky is Is cents a drink, and a
mans business suit costs $40. And
the Democrats talk about Republi'
can policies as promoting cheap
whisky and dear clothing"
The detection in Virginia contin'
ues. The last one to announce
himself for Harrison and protection
is Gen. James A. Walker, of Wythe
vile, Va. Gen. Walker was lieu
tenant governor OF the state under
Democratic rule. He cannot stand
free trade. 81 will not vote foi
Cleveland, and think Southwes
Virginia will go for Harrison an'
Norton" is what he says.
The New York Sun, although /
is Democratic, is not free trade
and It strikes out in the following
vigorous fashion, in talking Il
American wage-wOrkers:
England, indeed, is the com
mercial pirate OF the world. Sh'
Is now straining her utmost Il
rob the United States OF It's in
dustries and get control of on
market. II she succeeds, ever,
workiDgmsn and every working
woman 10 this country will b
brought to comparative poverty
You can't help losing the higI
wages you now receive. fyou re
tain any work at all, against thu
competition of the pauper-pait
, labor OF England, you will be com
PEELED by that competition to &C
cept as wages, precisely that paupe
pay. Then perhaps you will low
England more than you do now.
