The Democratic papers are indus
triously circulating statement to the
effect that the Standard Oil Trust,
the Pacific Railroad Ring, the Sugar
Trust, the Cotton Seed Oil Trust,
the Coal Ring. Jay Gould, etc., etc.,
call for Harrison" This is an I'M
fortunate selection. Senator Payne,
that eminent Ohio Democrat, is con-
spicuous member of the Standard Oil
Trust, and his son-in-law, Mr.. Whit
ney, is Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of
the Navy. Mr.. Thurman made his
reputation, in part, as counsel for the
Pacific railroads. Mr.. Havemeyer,
the head of the Sugar Trust, was
deferentially consulted by the Mills
committee, and the sugar schedule
modified to suit him. He is gener-
GUS contributor to the Democratic
campaign funds. The Cotton Seed
Oil Trust is only a branch of the
Standard Oil Trust. Of the Coal
Ring, Congressman Scott of Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Cleveland's lieutenant,
is one of the wealthiest and most
conspicuous representatives. AS to
Jay Gould, he has declared himself
for Cleveland. The Democratic pa.
pers seem to have made rather unfor-
tunate selections for their list, on the
whole. If they are going into this
kind of thing as part of their intel
lectual and educational campaign,
they should struggle to compile list
which will not act in this boomerang
style.-Boston Journal.

was before the house the Republicans
proposed to cut the duty one-half

Plain Questions for Democrats to
Answer.
Will not the lowering of duties re-
suit in increased importations of for

Will not this displace domestic man
ufactures to the amount of the impor-
tations?
Will not this make less work for
home wage earners?
And consequently will it not de-
crease wages?

first young man toward the sleeper.
When the sleeper was reached there
were about ten young men led by the
young man from Covington. The
negro looked up as they approached
and gathered about him. The leader
stepped up and, touching the negro on
