4 Sad Case.

a young wife lies at Deaths door at
the New oIk Hotel, within ten min
utes' travel Of Madison Square Garden,
where the "Blaipe. Irishp meeting was
held the other night.
This unfortunate young LADY is Mrs.
James G. Blaine, Jr. the wife of the son
or the "uDcrowned king" who has in
all but the name taken the place of
Harrison, his substitute, as Republican
candidate for the Presidency. The
cause OF her deadly illness is the cruel
treatment che has received from her
father-in-law and mother-in-Iaw at
their home in Maine. Dersertea by
her husband, whom she dearly loved.
she went no the place of residence of
his parents to See him. and he vas put
under restrainC so that he might not see
his wife, who had come so far in her
dutiful desire TO eoDciliate him.
The lady is or excellent family. good
reputation, admirable life. and in all re-
spects charming. But in the eyes OF
the elder Blaines she is guilty of some
objectionable offense. Can it be that
because she is Roman Catholic and of
Irish family she has been discarded and
is allowed TO laDguIsh. heartbroken,
through their barshness. If she dies,
the world will believe her death moth
ing less than murder. And yet James
e. Blaine, who never went TO see his
sick daughter-in-lsw while il this city,
is stalking the fortunes OF his party and
his candidate upon the hope of gaining
Irish votes through his pretense o: su-
perIor affection and devotion to the
Irish. Was there ever a more detesta-
BILE and shameless exhibition of politi-
cal duplicity than that displayed in thil
pltiful case ?-N. Y. Star.

Monumental FIzzle OF the Canvass.

Unquestionably the greatest dZzle of
this campaign was General Harrison's
Labor Day at Indianapolis last week, as
the particulars reach us through the To-
cal papers It is a recognized fact that
the Republican candidate is very unpop-
ular, IL not absolutely odious TO the la
bor element of Indiana. Five or six
weeks ago, Quay's paid contingent
suborned from the Knights OF Labor to
DISRUPT that organization, after the at
tempt to corrupt Powderly had signally
failed, devised the scheme of Labor
Day to smooth over matters with the
woTkingmen in Harrison's interest.
They had conferences with Quay, and
made frequent journeys to New York.
That is the prime delight OF the market
abe professional labor politicians, and
those fellows who have contracted to
work the labor racket and sell out
the Knights are in the market all the
time. They bOasted they would have
10000 men in line Quay believed
them and put up bis "ante =" all the
railroads had ready extra trains a. ex-
cursion rates Harrison was primed
with double distilled, extra gusn labor
speech. Papers all over the country
were advised to look ouu for the big

Layton and Robinson, and others OF the
same kidney, were in their glory. They
were doing IL all, and 1t is DO violent
presumption Quay had lined their pock-
cts with some OF the ''fat." For this,
among other things, were they created.
Well, Labor Day came along last
Friday at Indianapolis, as all things
will come to those who wait. People
were up early to see the arriving thou
sands Harrison had his speech care
fully committed, and threw in a few
extra touches or insincerity and plar-
ney, very different from the speeches he
made in the labor riots IL years ago.
Labor Day had arrived for Indianapolis,
but labor was not there. The mills aud
factories in that and adjoining towns
had shut down but the men went
fishing, anywhere but to parade in hon.
or OF Chinese Harrison. The long and
short of il is that the so 600 men in
line dwindled down to ], 1,575 by actual
count. and this miserable fZZIe, the
laughing stock OF the city, was the net
result OF six weeks work. II demon
strated where Harrison is weakest. and
made more certain than ever a Cleve-
land majority. Colonel Quay. like DIR.

ONE of the most gratifying facts pre-
sentei in this political campaign, is the
universal admission by candid men in
ministIat!on has been wise, conserva.
tive, efficient and punctiliously honest.
The wheels Of government have moved
smoothly, and consequently the larger
business enterprises have met their ex-
pectatious and the people generally have
prospered. Even the financial stringen-
cy of 1887, direct result OF the enorm-
ous-accumulation OF surplus in the ma
tionsl treasury, and which for a time
assumed threatening aspects, was so
easily brushed away by the def hand OF
the Secretary OF the Treasury, that,
comparatively, but few OF the people,
even in business circles, were aware OF
the seriousness of the situation, or the
Importance of the danger averted.
Such has been Grover Cleveland's
administration for three and a half
yesrs-an administration which COM
mands the respect and admiration Of
intelligent people, not only il America,
but through the world.
Is it any wonder that thoughtful and
patriotic citizens of every party are In
clined TO 'let well enough alone" by
assisting to re-elect Mr.. Cleveland Z?
That such Is the fact almost every
neighborhood sbundantly attests.
From all parts OF the country come an
nouncements-not singly, but by dozens
and from some quarters by scores-of
prominent business men, prominent
manufacturers, AID prominent agricul-
tur!sts proclaiming themselves openly
for Clevelsnd's reelection.
Why is it that the changes in favor of
Cleveland are so largely among The best
informed aud most conscientious and
patriotic OF the people {? IL is not from
the rabNle or the ignorant that the
changes toward Cleveland come. 1t is
quite the other way, fer it is to the ig-
norant that the Republican appeals for
votes are chiefly directed. There mis-
representations of the issues and ap-

among the Intelligent, weIl-informed, q,
1t is impossible. They will be disgust
sd by faisehood, but csnIot be deceived.
The good will OF the substantial busi-
ness men OF the country is undoubtedly
with President Cleveland. They Ie-
cognize him as an able statesman, a
true patriot, a firm executive, aud an
honest man. These qualities alway S
insure good government. To change

A Sure Thing.

In comparison with the condition of
the Democratic canvass at this time in
1884, the Democracy to-day feel conf
dent. 1t does not require a strong
memory to recall that, four years ago.
within two weeks of election there was
almost universal depression in the Dem
ocratic ranks. 1t was about that time
that Mr.. Cleveland, then Governor. was
called on to make a speech on the tariff
to the laboring men CT Newark, almost
as last desperate effort TO redeem the
canvass. The result is we'll known.
The ticket was carried, by a small plu-
rality 1t 1t is true, but carried. This
year there is feeling of perfect conf
dence of victory. There are many
conditions in our favor that were
against us then. The Irish American
vote that detected so heavily to Blaine

land. The Independent contingent.

Their Qnandary.

Ten years ago leading political thinks
ers of this country agreed npon George
F. Ecmuuds as an almost ideal candi-
date from the Republican side for
President of the United States. The
events of later years have dissipated
this very considerably the Vermont
Senator, though scholarly and able. has
shown himself capable OF much bitter,
acrimonious and unjust partisapship.
But his psrtisanship was not strong
enough in 1884 to ewing him actively
into line for the tatooed man, nor does
8 ,em to have aroused any very marvel
Gus enthusiasm in his mind over the
claims of the grandson ticket this time.
He returned to Washington on Monday,
right in the height OF the campaign, he
it observed, leaving bis voice unheard
for the rest Of the campaign in behalf
of the Republican ticket.
Excuses can often be readily had and
il the Vermont Senator were asked for
one he would doubtless be ready with
his answer but Is it likely that man
OF Edmunds' calibre can enter with
satisfaction into a campaign which in
wolves direct denial of some Of his
best considered acts in the Senate Is
it at all probable that he can now advo-
cate free whiskey crusade when with
voice and influence be had so ably re-
sisted the attempt to repeal the whiskey
taxes in the interest of tariff robbery?
Verify, the position of able or consci-
en.ious men in the Republican party is
a most difficult one. Belonging by in
stinct and tradition to a party which
has largely contributed TO the support
of prohibition and legal restriction OF
the liquor traffic. they now find them
selves loaded down with hat declara-
tion in favor OF policy which, Accord
ing TO James e.. Blaine, would neutral
ize all temperance legislation. Having
been tariff reformers in the past and
doubtless still such In sympathy and in
secret, they are now ranged by the ex-
igencIes of partisan politics on the side
OF a fiscal policy which they believe
wrong and which many Of them have
openly condemned in their speeches in
Senate and House. Such is the guam
dairy OF the living tariff reformers and
temperance men in the Republican
party. AS to those leading Republicans
who are dead, those men of whom the
Republican party is proud, Grant, Lo-
gan and Arthur, it can only be said
that were they living now, they would
be obliged either 20 retract their own
best. considered utterances in favor Of
tariff reform or else vote the Democrat
ic ticket the coming week.-PbH. Rec

A VOTE for Thomas IL. Greevy, says
the Somerset Democrat, IS a vote in the
interest of the whole people in their
struggle 10 throw off the yoke OF tax
oppression. 1t is a vote for honest
Government by the people and for the
people. II is vote against the trusts
and monopolies that now sffiict the land,
brought into being by the high tariff
Jaws made only in the interest of the
trusts and monopolies. 1t is a vote to
protect the laborer. farmer and honest
business men, and against importing
cheap pauper labor. 1t is a vote for
taking of unnecessary taxation. A
vote for Edward Scull is vote for tax
ing the poor man in the interest of the
rich man. 1t is vote to continue the
trusts and monopolies that are now
robbing the people. 1t is o vote for the
continued importation OF contract labor
by the monopolists TO reduce the wages
OF honest American working men. 1t
is a vote for unnecessary taxes. Thiak

What is True Protection

The true standard OF protection in a
tariff law, is the imposition of such du-
ties on foreign articles which compete
with general home industries, as will
fully amount to the difference between
the cost of labor here and abroad. All
protection beyond that standard is
simply protection to monopoly and a
needless tax upon labor.
Another important feature O. true
protection TO labor is In furnishing our
home Industries cheap raw materials to
cheaper its products. enlarge its en-
ployment and extend its markets.
Every protection nation in the world
excepting America, gives its mills ani
labor free raw materials, and thus en-
ables its labor to compete in the markets
of other countries.
Another important feature Of protec-
tion TO labor is in cheapeniug the COM
mon necessariss of life when il can be
done without reducing wages. What is
q per day for American labor, COM
pared with 81 per day abroad, when AZ
per cent. taxes are imposed upon most
of the articles that labor consumes ?
In point OF fact, very many of our high
ly-protected Industries pay no more for
labor, considering the increased cost of
the necessaries of life, than do employ
ers abroad
Another important feature of pro-
lection to labor goes far beyond the la-
Dor that is Immediately protected by
tariff taxes. in the reduction of the cost
OF the necesssries of life to all the in
dustrial people of the country. Free
wool and other raw materials for our
wooIen industry woulc not onlv largely
increase the demand for labor and OF
necessity increase wages, but it would
greatly cheaper woolen goods which are
consumed BY every man, woman and
child in the land.
True protection to labor is not found
In excessive war taxes. Excessive pro-
lection simply breeds monopoly ;monop-
oily breeds greed and extortion give la
Dor only high taxes and low wages.
This is the issue that is commanding
the sober consideration of hundreds OF
thousands OF voters to-day, and let
them honestly and sooerIy solve it in
the interest of true protection to Amer
lean IaboT.-Pltild. Times.

To Recapitulate.

The experience OF our tanners and
leather manufacturers with free hides
is Just as strong an argument for free
wool. Both are raw material, unft Tor
ary purpose until they go through man
utscturing processes. The hide argus
mentn is the strongest presented, and
we have frequent calls to reprint the
facts Here they are /:
The law taxing raw hides was re-
pealed and they were placed on the free
list in 1872, when we were importing
S1l $40 600 worth os leather year.
Since then our population has increased
about u, ,000, 900. and besides fully SUD-
plying these our manufacturers now ex-
port SO, 432, ,13S worth of leather goods,
against only S3. .6S4 600 exported in
1872. Thus we have held our own
market and Increased our trade as the
demand decreased while at the same
time we were tripling our sales aoroad-
In order TO do this we made into
leather last year not only the hides pro-
duced at home, but S24. 600, 600 worth
brought from abroad and manufactured
here by American labor that would
otherwise have lacked employment.
An army of American tanners is thus
kept busy. Another army OF American
shoemakers, ssddlers and harness.
makers is employed in working this
leather up for the SIC, 200, 900 worth OF
leather goods exported annually.
The imports OF leather last year were
substantially the same as 16 years ago.
We use all the American hides pro-
duced we buy all the foreign hides we
need the manufacturer has a prosper
ous and annually increasing business ;
labor has a grs atty enlarged market,
and an increased demand in il the
American consumer has his leather
goods cheapened, and the foreigner gets
a first class American article in return
for his money-Sl0 900, 600 of which,
coming in a year, gets into a good many
American pockets before the next year
is over
Under free hides, Pittsburgh and It's
vicinity has become one of the greatest
centers in the world for the production
of certain grades of leather, particular
ly harness leather.
We import annually near $50 0O0, 600
worth of wooden goods. They are q
necessity. We cannot produce them.
We only raise half the wool necessary
for the home supply. Give our manu-
fs cturers free wool and we will see the
same results, only IN a much greater de-
gree. that followed putting hides on
the free list. We will manufacture the
wooden goods needed by our people. and
become exporters as We are now of
leather goods.-Pittsb,r0b Post.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1888-11-02

THE Republican Senate tariff bill
proposes an increase in the duties ON
the cheaper kind Of wooden fabrics and
clothing. 90 some OF tho lower grades
OF cloth, such as are commonly worn by
the workingmen, it proposes tariff tar
of 132 per cent.
This high duty is in the interest O,
the manufacturer of shoddy which the
Republican Senators seems TO regard az
quite good enough for the workingman,
The duties on knit wooden goods pro-
posed in the Republican Senate tariff
bill have also been increased enormous
ly. While the Mills bill makes raw
wool free it likes the duty on manufac-
tured woolens at 40 per cent. thus
aiming to help the domestic manufac-
turer while relieving the great mass OF
the people from the necessity OF wear
ing shoddy and paying twice as much
for 1t as it is worth.
1t is for the working people to make
their choice between these two tariff
policies. a vote for Harrison is a vote
for dearer and poorer clothing. A vote
Tor Cleveland is vote for cheaper and
better clothing. Reflect, consider, and
make deliberate and conscientious
choice

In next weeks FREEMAN we VIII oe
able 10 give our readers the result Of the
election. The long suspense will be
over and the great battle at the polls
between the people on the one sloe
and organized monopoly on the
other will be decided. The politi'
cal outlook for the Democracy at the
present writing is encouraging and We
have no doubt OF the election OF Cleve-
land ard Thurman. They will carry
the same States that we're carried oy the
Democracy four years ago, WITH o
strong possibility Of Michigan, Califor-
mia and Illinois being added to the
Democratic column. In New York.
the Democratic National Committee,
with every means for information at
its command. claims the State by 2O,-
600. and from the fact that for several
years past the State has uniformly gone
Democratic, we feel confident that their
predictions are correct. 10 New Jer-
sey. the fight is practically given up by
the Republicans. and IL is certain to
cast its vote for Cleveland and Thur
man. In Connecticut, where the free
trade bugaboo was worked so loudly and
persistently early 10 the campaign for
Harrison, there is no longer any doubt
about it's being Democratic. The scare
has spent its force and the State will go
as it did in 1884. In Indiana, which
has been the most hotly contested State
during the campaign, the most reliable
information gives the State to the
Democracy. Every ward, borough and
township, has been csnvassed and the
Democrats claim the State by at least
10000.
And now last word as to our county
ticket. Every man on the ticket is a
good, reliable man, and we'll worthy OF
your support. They are men who have
been voting for Democrats all their
lives, ard now, when they are csndi-
dates, have a right to expect the sup
port OF every Democrat. They have,
no doubt, voted for some OF your friends
at times when they Were disappointed
in the nominations themselves, but like
all true Democrats, they made their
fight at the primaries aud after that
gave their whole support TO the ticket
nominated. Next year, or the year
after, or some other year, yourself or
your friends NAV be on the ticket and
the voters debsuched this year will be
more readily debauched then. Every
Democrat should see to it that no cut
ting is done on election day.
There are now a number Of Repnbli-
cans travelling over the county solicit
ing Democrats TO vote q part of their
ticket. They are pleasant, agreeable
men, some from Ebensburg whom we
know we'll, who year after year are ask
ing Democrats to vote for Republicans,
yet they themselves never voted for q
Democrat in their lives. While they ask
you to vote for them, they would see you
id before they woIld vote for you.
You may rest assured that you or your
friends will never get vote from them.
Do with them like Cleveland did with
the British minister, when they come
around, give them the bounce.

WE think it time says the Boston
Globe that the people knew how the
Republicans hope to carry the country.
They expected to get large sum, and
early in the campaign they spent their
dollars freely. OF late the supply has
run short, hence their frantic cries for
more. 1t will not do. The people OF
this country are not to be corrupted by
money. They will vote for Cleveland,
n fair tariff and reform, and all the
money the Republicans can wheedle out
OF their rich allies cannot change the
result

IT is reported that Benjamin F. But
Ter, has gone To Michigan to stump that
State for Harrison. Whether Harrison
will stand it or not remains to be seen.
Harrison will be a dead cock in the po-
litical pit in any event, but there is a
vast difference in the way of dying.
Butler to political life is like prussic
acid-Hsrrison will but have to take
one draught of ;Butler-a shudder-a
convulsion and al is over. Whether
like a man with an incurable disease he
down with the g. o. p. is very much
like trusts-largely a private affair, and
the man with grardfather's hat Can
take his choice.
