The Mills bill will increase the
Government revenues instead OF
decreasing them, and will decrease
wages instead of increasing them.
The Republican party this year

party offers Free Trade anu a Tree

Cheap goods are desirable, but
TO have them labor must be made
cheaper. And TO cut wages means
to reduce the buying power of the
masses, and a change on their part
to a less comfortable and more
pinching style of living. Is a
wholesale move Of this sort what
the working people of the nation
are ready to vote for ?
Chairman Quay's offer of $25, 900,
which has been placed IN bank,
for rewards for convictions OF per
sons violating the election laws, IS
an indication of the standing OF
the Republican party on the ques-
ton of an honest ballot. With a
full and interrupted vote, there
would be no question whatever of
the overwhelming success OF the
Republican ticket.
You can not name one good

Something more than a year ago
the legislature of New York passed
law providing that after January
/, 1889, all railroad companies IN
that state should change their s>S
tenn of car. heating. The fiat thus
sent forth against the deadly car
stove was hailed with rejoicing
and with the expectation that the
example set by the New York as
sembly would find speedy imitation
in other states. Bat again it seems
