AN AGAINST" PARTY.

Gen. Harrison at Des Moines, Sept. 81, 1885.
What does the Democratic party stand
for? What are its principles? What new
direction would be given to the old ship
if the helm should pass into the hands of
the Democrats? | know what that party
has been against. 1t has been an
against" party. Laughter. II was
against freedom in Kansas; it was
against the war; it was against the draft;
it was against emancipation; it was
against q greenback currency: it was
against reconstruction; it was against
the amendments; it was against the ku-
klux laws; it was against the civil rights
bill; it was against the act to strengthen
the public credit; it was against the
resumption of specie payments; but it is
not against any of these things now-it
is underneath them. The country in
its grand sweep has left all these things
to history; they are no longer subjects
of debate-they are historical facts;
they are the sun-lighted peaks of our
most brilliant and eventful epoch. We
have climbed the rugged and bloody
pass. The lowering clouds have lifted
or have fallen in refreshing showers. 1t
is time of peace and of amazing pros
perity throughout the land So far as
as legislation and public administration
can shape the course Of events, these
these things have come because of the
wise, courageous and patriotic legisla-
ton of the Republican party Applause ];
they have come because the Democratic
party has been i'm minority. There
was long period in the history of our
country when. as had occasion 10 say
once before, the Democratic party
seemed to be playing with our country
the child's game of ..tseter." When the
the Democratic party was up the coun.
try was down, and when the country
was up the Democratic party was down.
Applause.

Discussion Of the causes that brought
about the defeat of the various candi-
dates for the presidential nomination at
Chicago is altogether improbable at this
time That there shonld have been
some disappointment at the time among
the friends of those who failed to receive
the nomination was but natural, es-
pecially SO in view of the fact that every
one whose name was mentioned in that
convention possessed in an eminent de-
gree the necessary qualifications for the
exalted station to which they aspired.
With such candidates before it the con-
vention could not have made mistake,
either from a personal or stragetic stand
point. Therefore, since it was out of
the question for all to be chosen, there
was nothing left for the convention to
do but to exercise its best judgment in
the matter and name its choice, which it
did in deliberate, business-like way.
The action of the convention is not open
to criticism, and the wise, discreet party
man will not suffer himself to be led into

General Harrison said in speech at
Detroit on last Washington's birthday:
"Why is it today that we have legisla-

laboring classes? 1t is because the labor,

Every city and village in the country
should have its log cabin. 1t can be

Come to think of it, we don't know

Cleveland was forced to abandon the
civil service policy that he started out on
in the beginning of his administration
by pressure from his own party. Through
the practical operations of the changed
policy the country has had demonstrated
the relative ability of the two parties for
the efficient discharge of public duties,
contrasting the public service of today
with that of four years ago. The coun-
try yielded TO the demagogic plea of

available was that of high and big tariffs.
Statesmen feared that such high tariffs
would inevitably ruin the producer and
the consumer alike, but there was no al
tentative. The result everybody knows.
Under tariffs which were practically pro-
hibitive, loaded down with internal rev.
enue exactions additional, and in spite of
extravaganza and a costly war
the country fourished. But it
did not stop there. After
the war had ceased and while yet pay
ing off the debt and meeting the inter-
est, SO long as the high tariff was held
on to, the country fourished as green
bay tree, and so continued to flourish,
with the highest wages for the workman
and mechanic and the highest prices for
the manufacturer and producer ever
known to the country, there being no let
up to the general good times until con-
gress under Democratic pressure COM
menced to tinker with the tariff. The
more they tinkered with and cut it
down, the closer times got, until the
Democrats went into power three and
half years ago. Everybody knows how
things have shrunk since then until now.
Upon the theory that ''the hair off the
dog must be good for the bite the Mills

The natural advantages, such as eli
mate, soil and accessibility to the mar
kets of the world, possessed by provinces
of southern Canada are equal to those
enjoyed by the average of the northern
or New England states; yet the benefits
afforded the citizens of those states by
our protective system places the Canadian
artisans at such disadvantage in the mat
ter of compensation for their labor that
but for interference on the part of the
Canadian government there would be a
general exodus from the southern por.
ton of the dominion to the states. De-
spite such interference several hundred
persons recently transferred their citl-
zenship to the industrial districts of the
states. The only persons we hear of en-
igrating thither are those who slip over
under cover of night or disguise to enjoy
their pelf, where it will go further in
purchasing the fruits of the toiler's labor.
That country doesn't even protect its
people against such outrages as that.

The destruction of human life by the

The destruction of human life by the
unprecedented floods IN Mexico has been
appalling, probably without a parallel in
history in point of numbers and exceeded
only by the frightful losses in China a
few months ago. Such a deluge in a
country as destitute of water as that in
which this last visitation occurred is GER
tainly most remarkable. Never having
experienced anything like it before, the
flood was of course surprise to the peo-
pie, and being wholly unprepared with
means of escape the wonder is that the
entire population Of the flooded district
was not swept away and utterly de-
stroyed. There cannot but be great suf-
fering among the survivors. scantily
provided as they are at their best with
the common necessities of life. But for
the presence of the Mexican Central rail
road, that traverses that section OF cOun
try, the ravages Of the food would
almost surely be followed by desolating
