CAN FORGERY HELP THEM7

A month or two ago about every Repub-
lican paper we opened paraded with more
or less prominence sundry alleged extracts
from English newspapers indicative of
strong British sympathy In the supposed
contest the Democratic party of this coun-
try was waging in behalf Of free trade
One extract, credited to the Iron Era, sta
ted that the British Golden Club was rails

free trade propaganda in this country; an
other that Lord Brassy had contributed

stand In behalf of free trade, &C.. &C. Fl

by Mr.. II. X. Thurber, of Boston, and
embodied In a "Circuiar to the Wage
Farmers Of the United States" and humid.
reds of thousands Of copies were printed
under the auspices of the Boston Home
Market Club" and circulated broadcast
over the country.
Now as the general tone Of the English
press has been very different from that In
dicated by these extracts, showing vastly
better understanding of American politics
that, instead Of rejoicing in Mr.. Cleve.
lands efforts In behalf of tariff reform,
England rather breads their success as
threatening to bring American manufac-
turers in competition with those of Eng
land in the world, the question was raised,
can these extracts be genuine? And there
upon Boston Democratic Committee pro-
ceeded TO investigate. The result was the
discovery that eoe,y one of the alledged ex-
tracts was bold and shameful forgery. So
clear was the proof that Mr.. Thurbur di-
rected the Boston Home Market Club"
to cease sending out his circular, and par
ticularly card on which the extracts were
printed, headed by the names of the Dem
ocratic Presidential candidates.
Yet in spite of this public acknowledg.
ment of the spuriousness of the extracts,
the Chicago Inter'Ocedn continues about
once week to republish them, and on
Monday gave a conspicuous place to the
entire "Home Market card, with all the
forged extracts, placing 1t appropriately by
the side of the Republican platform, which,
though not forgery, is only more vo-
luminous compendium of les
The brazenness Of newspaper laying
claims to responsibility that will continue
to circulate these lies after their falsity has
been proved and acknowledged, is only
equalled by the persistence of the same
paper, and the whole class to which 1t be

lie, that the Democratic party is in favor of

The lie in both cases stands equally con-
fessed when forgery is unscrupulously re-
