To Preserve Ropes.-To preserve
ropes exposed to the weather from
mold and mildew. one prepares
bath of soluted copper-glance and
water in the proportion of one drachm
of soluted copper-glanee to three and
one-half pints of water. Let the ropes
soak in this mixture for four days; they
will then be covered with coating of
copper-glancc that effectually preserves
them from all kinds of animal enemies
as we'll as from mold and mildew. To
fix the muriate of copper one dips the
ropes in soap-water (seven ounces to
three and one-half pints of water).

THE
BIGGEST, BRIGHTEST, Best.

The most successful and growing stores in the
ountry to-day are the large, complete and many
sided stores with goods suited to all needs, tastes
ard purses. Looked at from a single standpoint,
they may seem too voluminous and complex
Looked ct from the standpoint the varied demands
of the day, nothing less will suffice. There Is no
test like experience and practical results, and
thesc support the complete stores.
Ours is the largest and most complete general
Quitting establishment the coast as it is also
the most successful. 1t has the largest trade both
a home and through the mails, and shows the
most rapid growth, and its growth has been the
Most rapid just as its assortments were at their
best and highest.
The key to its success is that it furnishes what
the peoplc-and all the people-want. 1t ministers
to every demand. 1t is varied and allcmbracing
All its customers may not buy i'll every department
perhaps, but everyone finds what lie looks for aud
is interested i'll. There are coarse stout goods for
rougl, usage plain serviccablc goods for everyday
wear, and fashionable and costly goods from Vienna,
Paris, London and other market centcrs of the world
III each Of these grades only the best makes are rep
resented, while the prices always low and in
Iloet cases lower than those of all other dealers
These facts are cited for the benefit of out of
town persons who wish to deal through the mails
We believe that have stated nothing that is not
accepted by those who know us. Men believe
what they see, and everyone who comes to Sacra-
nlcato sees the truth for himself.

Tariff Reform is Defeated.
The Madison Democrat.


The republicans have won the bat
tie, and the great economic question of
the tariff has been decided by the
people in support of the position taken
by the republican party in it's Chicago
platform. TO this decision the de-
mocracy of the country bow as the
lawful verdict, but reserves the right
to demand a new trial in 1892, pro
yided the party going into power and
which will have both houses Of CON
greSs, as well as the executive, shall
not follow out the advice of its ablest
and best men, and revise the existing
tariff law so it may bear equally and
justly on all classes Of people. No de
feat can change the conviction Of the
democratic party that its policy as ex-
pounded during the campaign, is a
policy in the interest of American
labor; and that if not ultimately
adopted, the liberty and bread of the
laboring millions will at no distant
day be held at the mercy of a power
full oligarchy, against which humanity
will beat in vain endeavor to regain
its manhood. Deeply impressed with
the truth of such views, the democrat
lie party will appeal again and again,
if necessary, to the intelligence of the
land until it shall see the danger and
arrest the cause.

Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald, of
INDIANA, very sensibly declares that
the sectional issue was the most potent
cause of the defeat of democracy and
tariff reform in the recent election.
When asked if by sectionalism he
meant the bloody shirt, Mr.. Mcdonald
said:
No, | don't mean the bloody shirt.
but | mean the array of the solid
north against the solid south. Even
republicans who favored tariff-reform
did not like the idea of having 1t come
from congressman who lived in a
southern state"
Then YOU don't think that it was
the tariff that did it ?"
NO. The vote shows that we made
gains in every one Of the manufactur-
ing centers except one. That excep-
ton was New Albany, and our loss
was slight there. We made gains
among the workingmen, but suffered
losses among the farmers, where we
least expected them. Ii was the sec
tional issue that did it. otherwise we
should have had the farmers with us.
And how else can you account for the
great republican majorities rolled up
against us III Illinois, Michigan, Kan
saS and other states where there is a
strong tariff reform sentiment?''
do you think the tariff will be the
issue again in 80 ?"
Yes. The democratic party can't
recede from its position on that ques-
ton. The party is not dispirited or
demOraliZed. 1t is essentially a tariff
reform party and can't be anything
else as long as the present condition
exists
Senator Mcdonald is right as usual.
The cry Of sectiOnalism against the
Mills tariff bill was taken up by the
benefciaries of high taxation to pre-
vent the discussion and consideration
of the tariff question upon its merits,
and that it served their purpose most
effectively is testified to by the result
of the election. Great tariff reform
newspapers like The Chicago Tribune
and The St Paul Pioneer Press took
up the cry and offered it as an excuse
for supporting the republican candi-
dates. And thousands of tariff reform
republicans throughout the land tried
to satisfy their cOnscienceS with the
same argument, and remained with
their party and voted for a policy of
taxation which they are firmly con
WINGED is wrong and vicious. The cry
of sectiOnalism and defeated the tariff
reform sentiment in the democratic
party and elected Samuel J. Randall
speaker Of the house of representatives
But that sentiment continued to grow
until it asserted itself by the election
OF Mr.. Carlisle as speaker. This year
the same cry once defeated Cleveland
and Thurman and the cause of tariff
reform in the nation. But the senti-
ment in favor of Il more equitable
system Of taxation will continue to
grow until it becomes too powerful to
be defeated by any specious arguments
which the protectionists can devise.

IhankSgiYing Proclamation.

President Cleveland has issued the
following proclamation:
Constant thanks and gratitude are
due from the American people to AL
mighty God for his goodness and
mercy which have followed them since
the day he made them a nation and
youchsafed to them free government.
With loving kindness he has constant
ly led us in the way of prosperity and
greatness. He has not visited with
swift punishment our shortcomings,
but with gracious care He has warned
us of our dependence upon his for
bearance, and has taught us that
obedience to his holy law is the price
OF a continuance of his precious
gifts. In acknowledgment of all that
God has done for us as nation, and
to the end that on an appointed dav
the united prayers and praise of a
grateful country may reach the throne
of grace, |, Grover Cleveland, president
of the Cuited States, do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Thursday, the Doth
day Of November instant, as a dav of
thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept
and observed throughout the land.
On that day let all our people suspend
their ordinary work and occupations
and in their accustomed places
of worship, with prayer and songs of
praise, render thanks to God for all
his merCies, for the abundant haryests
which have rewarded the toll of the
husbandman during the year that has
passed, and for the rich rewards that
have followed the labors of our people
in their shops and their marts of trade
and traffic. Let us give thanks for
peace and for social order and content
ment within our borders, and for our
advancement in all that adds to ma
tional greatness. And mindful of the
affective dispensation with which a
portion of our land has been visited.
let us, while we humble ourselves be-
fore the power of God, acknowledge
his mercy in setting bounds to the
deadly march of pestilence, and let our
hearts be chastened by sympathy with
our fellow countrymen who have
suffered and who mourn. And as we
return thanks for all the blessings
which we have received from the hands
of our Heavenly Father, let US not
forget that he has enjoined upon us
charity; and on this day of thanksgiv-
giving let us generally remember the
poor and needy, so that our free trib-
ute of praise and gratitude will be ac-
ceptable in the sight of the Lord"

IOWA COUNTY NEWS.
AREN

The election news was as much a
surprise to many people here as to The
Democrat. 1t is hard to account for
the fact that people will vote to in
crease their taxes, or even to hold them
at the present high rate, when the gov
eminent does not need so much rev.
enue to pay all legitimate expenses.
Still harder is it to account for peoples
allowing the tariff wool to be pulled
over their eyes SO that they cannot see
the hundredfold greater waste of the
liquor traffic, to say nothing of the
terrible moral and spiritual curse that
follows in its wake.
The republicans held a jubilee here
last Saturday evening. One of the
Mazomanie brass bands was down and
discourSed some fine music, which the
democrats and prohibitionists enjoyed
as well as the members of the g o. p.

fires and the little steam engine of the
mill blew its throat hoarse, and now
all is quiet again. We can now look
back calmly on the strife and see the
causes which changed results. Monop-
oily and the rum power do not want to
see the republican party die.

An unusually large number Of fool
ish and outlandish election bets are
reported this year. But the fuIfIlment
Of no wager yet devised equals in
absurdity the great farce Of the
American farmer marching up to the
polls and voting for the policy of high
protection, which taxes him enormously
upon everything he buys and lowers
the price Of every thing he sells.

The Washington correspondent OF
The Chicago Inter Ocean claims that
the next house of representatives vii
be republican by Il small majority, and
that upon organization being effected
the work Of purging the house will be
commenced and continued until by
unseating democratic members a good
working republican majority will be
secured This course would doubtless
secure a good working majority in the
next congress, but it would also helI
to swell the democratic majority ii

The political campaign of 1888 has
resulted in great victory for the re-
pnbicans. They have not only elected
their candidates Harrison and Morton
but they have retained control of the
senate and secured control of the
house of representatives While their
majority in the electoral college will be
large a plurality of the popular vote
has been east for Cleveland and Thur
man; and the democrats will have
large minorities in both branches of
congress. While the result Of the
election is a very great surprise and Il
sore disappointment to the democrats
and all friends Of tariff reform - the
chief issue in the cuntcSt-it is no
such guarantee of continued repub-
