THE SILLlEST OF LIES.

One of the Most Contemplate of Demo.
cratic Campaign Tricks.
Certain papers recently printed a
story to the effect that the recent
Paris interview with Judge Gresham
which the New York Herald printed
was edited ON this side of the water.
and therefore appeared minus para
graph which is now printed by itself.
This is what he is credited with say
ing:
III were a Democrat talking to newspaper
man-which am not-I should say: But see
here, you Republ cans. this whole campaign
of yours is q piece OF Inconsistency. In your
convention you could not agree upon Mr..
Blaine, and nominated Mr.. Harrison. Now IL
appears that Mr.. Harrison IS o sort Of figure
head while Mr.. Blaine practically controls the
policy OF the contest. Furthermore, 1t is gen.
orally understood that, as Secretary of State,
Mr.. Blaine Will direct the policy OF the next
administration, should the Republicans win.
In other words. Mr. Blaine is to all intents and
purposes The candidate. But II Mr.. Blaine is un.
hit to run in person for the Presidency he 10

No one who knows Judge Gresham
in Chicago will believe for an in.
slant that he holds or gave utteranco
to any such sentiments. There is no
more conservative gentleman on OF Of
the bench than he. and no one who
has ever approached him for his yievs
GA any political subject. whether Z:
concerns the party which he honOrs
with his allegiance or not, will hesi-
tate a moment before stamping this
story as an absurd and malicious
falsehood. The silly liar who con.
cocted this story chose the very worst
man possible to saddle it upon. There
is not a more loyal or conservative
Republican alive to-day than Judge
Gresham, and there is not in him one
grain OF that sour mugwumpery 70
coarsely set forth in the words attribrt-
ed to him.-Chic0O0 Mail.

New York will somehow liken JEFF
Davis to Christ in Georgia Now he
says that he had no civil or military
connection with the Confederacy, but
sympathized with the South, though he
now sees that the South was wrong
and is glad slavery was abolished. This
Is indeed cheerful news. So far as
heard from, Mr.. Brooks Is the only
Southern Democrat who has been
heard to say above his breath: The
South was wrong" Perhaps. If he
lives twenty-five years more. he may
screw himself up far enough to utter
that pregnant corrollary: The Repub-
lican party was right"
Our correspondent seems to find
great consolation in the fact that Mr..
Brooks only preached and prayed for
the Confederacy. The Bystander free
ly admits that his prayers are not like
ly to have done much harm, but, for
himself. he freely admits that he has
quite as much regard for an able
bodied Confederate who had nerve
enough to fight as for one who could
only raise wind enough to pray for
the triumph of wrong.

descended are the mighty monument

He states in his introduction that

ocratic o, the contrary, as in all or
CARNATIONS composed of men, there is
much of strength and beauty in both
these great parties, and very much in
each OF them that good and wise men
are struggling to destroy. But if the
young man will read the history of the
country from the revolution to the pres
emit time he will learn one thing-that
the Democratic organization is tradi-
tionally reactionary in its policy. and
has always been opposed by party OF
progress. In its early history the
Democratic party, clamoring for the
rights of 'sthe people" in their name
strangled safe National currency and
replaced it with the wildcat output
of irresponsible private and State
banks. Later on, this same party
threw its entire strength against the
policy of extending Governmental aid
to internal Improvements. and but
for the discovery and improvement OF
the steam engine, close adherence to
that policy would have left the spot
where we live to-day still in the saw
age wilderness. 1t is only repeating
its early history in this year 1888 in the
advocacy of free trade, and yet every
line of our National history proves that
the brief eras of protection have been
the only prosperous seasons enjoyed
by the people of America.
1t was the party of slavery antedat-
ing the war, and stood always as the
sponsor. advocate and protector of this
crime against the spirit of eternal
Justice. until the demon of war was
turned loose in the land by its leaders;
and then, in the South it stood as the
active element of National destruc-
ton, while at the North it became
the dead weight of passive obstruc-
ton which the patriotic sentiment of
National life was compelled to carry
as it battled for very existence with the
South.
1t stood firmly planted against the
policy of ''free homesteads for free
men, which policy since 1860 has COW
cred the West with happy homes,
school-houses and churches, and liter
ally compelled the wilderness to bios
som like the rose"
1t arrayed all the strength of its in
tellect and its money against subsidiz-
ing companies to construct railways
across the Western plains and mount
ain ranges to the Pacific coast. and
now seeks to rob the enterprise that
created them of their honestly-earned
reward.
But the worst is yet to be said. Not
only is it the opponent of every move
ment toward the material and political
advancement of the race, but its gi-
gantic strength is used ceaseIessly to
cripple. Obstruct and kill every aspira-
ton toward higher moral and spirit
ual life. 1t hates temperance, and is
the attorney of the curse of alcohol.
Let young men pause and ponder
these facts-reason upon them, and
then decide whether their first ballot
had not better be cast for the party of
growth of progress, rather than for
the organization of reaction and death.

CLEvELAND'S POLICY.
The Entertainment to Which the DOur.
bOns Invite the Country.

The Entertainment to Which the DOur-
bOns Invite the Country.
There are two sharp points that
should be driven under the finger-nails
of the Cleveland crowd of classifying
and clustering politicians whose blum
dering has distinguished this Presi-
Dental campaign:
l. The policy of Cleveland's Decem-
Der message (Which was his bid for a
second term) and the Mills bill, and
the st. Louis platform of the party, is
20 keep up the tax on whisky and to-
bacco-that is to say, the war taxes
and on sugar and miscellanies, leaving
the "tax reform reduction of taxa
ton and all that sort of thing to come
exclusively out of the protective duties.
This is on its face simply a scheme to de-
stroy protection. and is the rudest and
most radical and reckless free trade.
2. The President, in December,
adopted as the foundation fact upon
which his policy was to be built to con-
fer upon him a second term of the
Presidency, the estimate that the an
nual surplus revenue was $l13, 100000.
The Mills bill was framed to reduce
this by the sum of $75,0O0.OOO. This
measure received the support of the
utmost eXertiOn of the extreme power
of the Administration. The figures
showing the amount of income over
expenditure for the current fiscal year
were called for by Democrats, and, to
their amazement and horror, the sur
plus dwindled from S113, 100000 to
81, OOO, 900, showing that the Cleve-
land campaign for reelection was run
upon a miscalculation exceeding one
hundred millions. With this before
him Cleveland stuck to the old story
in his letter of acceptance, after hold
ing it for three months, and he de-
mands, therefore, as measure of re-
form, according to his own figures, an
annual deficiency in the National
Treasury of sixty millions of dollars,
or that We shall spend FIVE millions
month, under g frugal and eco
nomicar' Administration, more than
our income.

the Democratic party invites the coun-
try.-Cincinndti Commercial Gazette.

BROOKS SENTIMENTS.

What Judge Tourgee Thinks OF the Re-
belllOus Prohibiti0nist.
Slavery, the climacteric sin of
Christian barbarism, eliminated in
rebellion, and the Bystander does not
hesitate to say that the man who can
look back at the CHASTITY results of that
political crime, knowing himself to
have been active in promoting it,
without shudder, is not a man who in
any case should be intrusted with the
National destiny. However honest he
may have been, he has shown himself
too easily blinded by prejudice or self
interest to be safe political leader.
A man who boasts at this day of
having been Shareholder and Con-
FEEDER ate may be considerable of man
at the South; but in the civilization of
the North he is as much out of place as
a man who should ste, into the pulpit,
boast of murder, ripe and the other
crimes of the decalogue, and then say:
''but l thank God never CAVES dollar

politician that his speeches are not all

WHAT WILL you Do7

Word to Young Men Who Are About
to Cast Their First Vote.
Tens of thousands of the young men
of America will cast their first vote
this fall, and enter upon the political
career which is part of the valuable
inheritance of every American citizen.
The power of habit and association
are probably the strongest elements in
the construction of character and the
casting of a first ballot may be likened
tolaying the cornerstone of the build
ing of life. The young man who is
called upon to exercise the elective
franchise for the first time in 1888,
has the possibility of living fifty or
sixty years thereafter. and, very large
ly. the whole of his after life may be
affected by this virgin political act.
Young men are watched more closely
than they imagine by their older fell
low-citizens, and their future career
may be made or marred by even the
simple act of casting ballot

lawful for them to do SO. They pay
taxes on twelve million dollars in one
State whose whole possessions would
not have amounted to as many cents
but ior the justice of the Republican
party. For the first time in history a
National debt is more than half ex-
tinguished, and during the period of
Republican control the wealth of the
Nation was twice doubled. Let our

neighbors to depreciate the grandest
facts in our history.-Judge 1Ourgee,

EUROPE AND AMERICA.
How Much Worklng-Men Make In Thi
Country and Across the Sea.

How Much WOrklng-Men Make In This
Country and Across the Sea.
The free traders tell the working
men that while they are better paid in
this country than their fellows are in
Europe, their wages do not go so far,
because the necessaries of life are
dearer here than they are abroad. We
will examine this statement with the
fairness with which we have tried to
observe in looking at every phase of
this question. In 1884 bricklayers
were paid $3.50 a week in Leghorn
and $24 in Chicago, difference of 1873
per cent. in favor of the American
working-man. English carpenters
were paid 1915 and carpenters in Chi
cago $3.50, difference Of more than
81 per cent. Blacksmiths received
$1,000 and $15 respectively, a differ
ence of 43 per cent. in favor of the
American. English laborers were
paid 81 and American labOrers $1,000,
q difference of so per cent
The American wages are very much
higher than those paid in England. a
good deal higher than free traders are
willing to admit How is it with the
expenses of living? In the first place,
food is cheaper in this country than it
is in England. Beef costs IS 1-3 per cent
more in Liverpool than in Chicago.
Veal costs 334 per cent. more. Bread
costs little less, p per cent, and but
ter little more. Clothes have been
supposed to cost less in Europe than
here, but since Mr.. McKinley's EXPOSE
ton of the fact that all-wool clothes
can be sold in this country for $40 a
suit, that supposition has received a
very damaging blow. Rents are some
what higher than there, but 25 per
cent. would cover the difference, and
the American wOrking-man lives in a
decent house, while the Englishman
lives in squalor and in the midst Of
poverty and degradation.
The nottingham in this country
gets from 40 to 1873 per cent more
wages than his English competitor.
gets cheaper food, of better quality
and larger variety; wears as cheap
clothes. and lives in house that costs
him little more rent. He can afford
that in view of his other advantages.
He can pay the additional rent and lay

glishman can earn in a quarter. And
protection has done all this, for the
