New York Heral: What dreary folderal

Chinese record is! 1t Is the insane drivel OF
political idiocy. and has no more 70 do with
the plsin issue of the hour than shsther she
man in the moon IS bald headed in conse-
quence Of domestic infslieity.
New York San Commercial union with
Canada Oh, no. Political union, annexa-

kind Of union that suits the case, and there

Minneapolis Tb5sae. The lumber kings
are not in need OF charity but the army Of
Northwestern vorkingmen employed in the
lumber Industries need protection and are
entitled TO IL. Why shall they be robbed OF
work and wages when q reasonable protec-
ton does not cost the anything
Buffalo Express rep: The fact Is that
the whole Democratic party is the slave OF
Grover Cleveland. Never in the history Of
the country did such 8 man subject a great
party to such pitifal degradation. His own
paitisans hate him, but political necessity
renders them helpless. They would reject
him, and the treaty, too. If they dared. Bat
the Senate has attended to the treaty, and
the people will retire Cleveland.
New York Press A direct and deadly at
tack has been made upon the labor and in
dustries OF the country, an attack which, II
successful. means the total destruction OF
many important industries, and reduced
wages and no work for thousands OF Aren-
can werkmea. Stand by your families,
your homes, your employers and the inter-
ssts Of your country. Remember that q pol

bookkeeping takes account of maturing La
bilities. and honest government book-keep-
ing would take account OF the needs of the
| country, as estimated f0rby the heads OF the
executive departments and bureaus. Ifthis
had been done there would not have been 70
big a surplus to talk about and. at the same
time. Mr.. Carlisle would not nave been as
tonished 70 learn that he and his party had
been engaged in the BOnnecide talk of re
d1cins nothing.
Albany Tales DEM; Here's a howdy-

which confronted Us. and which jiggened the
Democratic National Convention into re-
nominating Cleveland. and a Dem ocratic
House into passing the Mills biIl-;hat sur

mittee Of the House on Appropriations as
well a. the Republican committee Of the
Senate-and the $4,000 to be cut of by
the Mills bill not included.
=. Douis Globe De1Agoraf The Democracy
not only makes It's appeal to the people for
support as a free Trade party, but it IS united
in advocacy Of free trade. All but an
Insignificant remnant Of the party stand
committed to that policy. The Democratic
protectionist. 50 far IS regards the prominent
members of the party, has virtually vanish
ed. Whoever votes for a Democrat hereafter
in the belief that he Is voting for a friend of
American industry, can not plead ignorance
in extenuation Of his blnnder.
Philadelphia North AmericGa II IS idle 10
discuss why we pay from 80 to loo per cent
better wage here thai are paid elsewhere,
because facts cannot be explained by mere
theories. But it is well to remember that
we have high wages, and it is much
more to the point to say that We sre deter
mined to maintain high wages, by giving
our own people the preference. No real
American proposes to buy the pro ducts Of
cheap labor because they are cheapest.
Boston Journal lReP.l; The Democrats
objected ~strennously to the war because it
involved expenditure, and they were wont
to hTl their speeches with dreary repetitions

cles Of wearing apparel and Of common

AT that time Mr.. Thurmsn's party was in

were about one-hslf what they are to day,
clothing considerably dearer, farm produce
