GRAY-HEADED LIES.
Campaign arguments" by Followers of
Cleveland.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.


From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Even the lies Of the Democratic free
traders which are made to do duty in
the present campaign are aged enough
to be gray-headed. One of the pet
Democratic falsifcations now current,
which President Cleveland was stupid
enough to repeat in his letter of accept
ance, is that the price of a commodity
to the consumer is enhanced to the ex-
tent of the duty upon it.
Forty-four years ago in his memoir
able Raleigh speech, Henry Clay spoke
as follows. 1t reads like an extract
from our Republican orators of to-day,
but the TACT that they are Clay's words
will give to them special interest and
force:
cit has been contended that the eff
feet Of affording legal encouragement to
domestic manufactures is to enhance
the price of commodities and to impose
tax upon the consumer. This argu-
ment has been thousand times refut-
ed. 1t has been shown, again and
again, that the price Of almost every ar
ticle on which the system of encourage
ment has efectually operated has been
reduced to the consumer; and this was
the necessary consequence of that law
of supply and demand and that princi-
pie of competition to which I have be-
fore reverted. 1t was foretold long ago
by myself and other friends of the pol
icy. But it is in vain that we appeal to
facts. 1t is in vain that we take up ar
ticle by article, and. comparing
present with former prices, show
the actual and gradual reduction.
The free trader has mounted his
hobby, and he is determined to spur
and whip him on, rough shod, over all
facts, obstacles and impediments that
lie in his way. 1t was but the other day
heard one of these free trade orators
addressing an audience and depicting,
in the most plaintive and doleful terms,
the extreme burdens and oppressive
exactions arising out of the abominable
tariff. Why says he, fellow citizens,
everyone of you that wears a shirt is
compelled to pay six cents yard more
for it than you otherwise would do, in
order to increase the enormous wealth
of Northern capitalists An old
man in the crowd, shabbily dressed,
and with scarcely anything but
shirt on, stopped the eloquent orator
and asked him how that could be: for
said he, I have a good shirt on that
cost me only 81 cents per yard, end /
should like to know how / pay duty
of 6 cents'

THE FREE TRADE BILL.
What the Free-Traders Would Have Done
IF They Dared.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express1
The argument that the Democratic party is
for free trade cannot be too often insisted upon.
The Democrats assert that the Mills bill, as it
passed the House, is not q free-tcade measure.
We have answered that, but we want to point
out now the fact that if the authors of the bill
had their way it would have been q much longer
step than it is in the direction of free trade.
Here are some of the important changes which
the House made in the bill. In the first col
umn of figures will be found the proposal of the
bill, and in the second the duty fixed by the

Who of us that has ever "boarded" in the usual way has not been at some time afflicted with the society of the complaining dyspeptic boardera The malady is too prevalent for us always to escape her, though 1t doesn't follow that she must be disagreeable stamp of invalid. By no means. But there is one specimen which haunts public tables, whether at home or abroad, that we would all like to have suppressed by fair means or foul You ask one of these dyspeptics, "Wn you have some white bread'" and she replies with the afr of q wife of a candidate, "No, don't eat anything made of white flour It seems to swell up inside of ma" "Shall help you to some ragout of vealT' "No, thanks" this time she speaks with angelic sweetness, "I love it, but 1t doesn't love me !"-such an orig inal remarkl-"the Last time I ate veal was up all night" and then she folds her hands resignedly under the table "Cheesef' 'No, thanks!n-this dyspspttc kind ot woman al- ways says, ''Thanks, it does not agree with me; my husbands father was doctor, and he told me never to eat cheese with my stomach" ," and so on, and so on.
 Then she will be sure to recommend cer- tain dishes to the assembled guests, and to her daughter. if she has a daughter, it is: "Susie, dear, eat only the stone fruit, and a great deal of 1t; it is so good for you, dear. 1 OA 4V Ao' SuSfc1 Acu4ca1DCI SGOudcu was out of order yesterday; don't eat thatp Until you have & succession of internal and internal pictures a delightful sauce for your dinner, breakfast and lunch converse tions.

Legendary Lore Concerning HIinerva's Fa-

 ''The owl shrieked at thy birth; an evil sign," is said to the luckless Henry VI, who was to see the throne wrested from himself and race, his queen and child flying panting and desolate through the land-the one to seek lifelong and unhonored exile, the other an early and unavenged death at a caitiff's hand, and to fall beneath a murderer's blow in his own royal palace, which he had known longer as a prison than home.
 Again, ''the bird of night did sit, even at monday, upon the market place, hooting and shrieking;" four-and-twenty hours be- fore Cesar went out to fall under the dag gers of friend and foe alike, with his mantle over his face to hide the death agony from the bowling crowd around.

 As parents the 'lord of the dark green wood" and his mate have an advantage over the rest of the winged tribe, for instead of bringing up a nestful of young of the same age, one will be a fledged youth, making eyes at some miniature mouse; another a callow, younger brother, trying to claw his way up to the edge of the nest; third still content to lie with closed lids and gaping bill, ready for whatever chance may send him, while q fourth Is chipping away at the inner vault of his limited and brittle home of shell-All the Year Round.
