The republican senators are still
''tinkering with the tariff" They have
been at it about six weeks now, and the
more they thinker" the more they are be-
wildered. Why don't they cut the ''gor-
dian knot" by reporting a bill repeating
the taxes on whisky and tobacco and oleo-
margarine, and raising the taxes on the
necessaries of life, so as to "check i'm
ports" as demanded by the Chicago plat
form? Nothing could be simpler or
easier. If the republican senators believe
that the people want free whisky and to-
bacco, and higher taxes on the necessaries
OF life, why don't they put the thing
squarely to test by passing bill which
will give them these things?

JIM BLAINE brought home from Europe
thirty-two trunks filed with goods made
by "the pauper labor of Europe" He
brought them in free of duty because,
under the present law, as construed by
the courts in the famous Astor case, our
rich men may 60 abroad and buy any
amount OF goods for their own private use
and bring them into this country without
paying penny OF duty upon them. Great
law that 1t is likely that Mr.. BLAINE
saved enough on his purchases abroad
for himself and family to pay the entire
expenses of his trip, except what Lord
CARNEGIE, the unnaturalized Pittsbura
tariff king, paid.

Virginia, the iron manufacturers of West

HERE is an extract from a published re-
port of one of ALVIN P. HovEY's speeches,
delivered in indianapolis, Aug. 8, 1865, to
soldiers who had just been mustered out
of the service:
He had no politics except his old democrats
opinions. If he had the power he would have
free trade and hard currency. lie would tax
every man alike, and make all share equally

not let any of those individuals who sell
"cheep clodin'" stop YOU on the way.

THOSE who advocate tariff for revenue only
do not take any thought Of our wage-workers,
but let their interests take care of themselves.

We suppose it is ANDY CARNEGIE, JIM
BLAINE, JAY GOULD and the rest of the
plutocrats and monopolists who are run
ming Ben HARRISON for president who
"take thought of our wage-workers." And
it was Ben HARRIsoN who was taking
thought of them in 1877, and afterward
in the U. S. senate, where he voted four
teen times to expose them to unre-
stricted competition with the Chinese.

Why is it that a vast majority of the i'm
migrants to the United States come from
countries in which the American system"
of high protection prevails? During the
last eight years I, 25O, $50 immigrants have
come to America, of whom more than
three-fourths came from high tariff coun-
tries. If high tariffs made high wages
would these 100000 immigrants from
high tariff countries have left their homes

HovEY poses as the original and only
soldiers friend" Yet he never displayed
the slightest interest in the soldiers in all
the years that elapsed between the close
Of the war and his accidental election to
congress. He never, so it is asserted by
those who are informed, joined the Grand
Army of the Republic. and never visited
a grand army post or attended a soldiers
reunion until he became a candidate for
Office, two years ago. Since he broke into
congress he has introduced several bills
in the alleged interest of the soldiers,
purely for buncombe, because they were
impracticable measures, which he knew
stood no possible chance OF becoming
laws. Republicans as we'll as demo-
Gratis understood that they were not
offered in good faith. Their pass
age would involve the expenditure of
two or three billions of dollars-double
or thrice the amount of the public
debt. 1t is easy by such methods as these
to advertise ones self as the friend OF the
soldier. But no one but a very cheap
demagogue would employ them. The old
soldiers, with very few exceptions, are too
intelligent to be deceived by such clap
trap. They are not mendicants. They
do not ask impossibilities. All they de-
mand is fair and just treatment by the
government, and Gen. HovEY only insults
them when he assumes that they want
anything more. We think the veterans OF
Indiana will all understand the species Of
charlatan this man HovEY is, after he has
made a few more such exhibitions of him.

FREE trade has been hobby with Gen.
HovEY for many years. He was an out
and out free trader when the republicans
nominated him for congress two years ago.
1t is doubtful if he had engaged in half
hours conversation with anybody in
twenty years that he did not bring up free
trade, and expatiate upon its advantages.
HovEY's free trade hobby actually made
him bore to his friends and neighbors.
His antipathy to custom houses was
almost as pronounced as his antipathy to
the jews, whom he never lost an oppor-
tunity to insult. And yet HovEY had the
cheek to stand up before the audience at
Tomlinson hall, Thursday night, and de-
clare that protection" was what made
wages higher in America that Europa
fallacy that he has denounced thousand
times in as vigorous language as he could
command. HovEY, it is plain, holds his
alleged principles" very cheaply.

The democrats have carried Arkansas

Ben HARRISON cleft this thought" at
Kokomo, and has not yet advertised for
its return:
VIII the prosperity that is now realized by
you, and that greater prosperity which you an
ticipate, be better advanced by the contnu-
ance of the protective policy or by its destruc-
tion7
If Ben HARRISON will read the Mills bill
he will find that it provides much higher
average of protection than a tariff COM
mission composed exclusively of members
OF his own party recommended only six
years ago. If he will read the presidents
message and the ST. Louis platform, he
will not find a line that points TO the ''de-
struction" of the protective system. He
knows that he is trying to place his oppo-
nents in false position when he asserts
that they are seeking TO inaugurate free
trade, and in so doing he stoops to the
level OF crossroads demagogue.
The men who are bowling the loudest
about ''free trade" and "pauper labor" are
the very men who have done the most to
depress wages in this country; who have
fought the trades unions the most earn
estly; who have imported laborers from
Europe under contract to take the places
of American workingmen, and who have
hired the Pinkerton butchers to shoot
down the latter when they attempted to
assert their rights. 1t is the greatest mys-
terry in the world how a single laboring
man in the whole country can be hum
huooe1 into believinO that these man are
in favor OF any system which compelS
them to pay higher wages than they other
wise would.

The Moon Did It Sure.

1t has been legally settled in Texas
that the NOON has an immense in

the ownership of herd of cattle and

of the brand, which was found on com.
parison to be three times as large as
the branding iron which the claimant
used, Thirteen witnesses were intro
duced. all them experts in branding
and herding. They sworc that when
cattle were branded in the dark of the
moon the brand will never, no matter
how largo the animal may grow, get
larger than the dimensions of the iron
used. On the other hand. when either
grown cattle or calves are branded in
the light of the moon the scar will
spread and the lighter the moon the
laraer will be the spread. And the
