WHAT is the Democratic doctrine

WHAT is the Democratic doctrine
en- the tariff anyhow? Simple
enough. 1t is proprosed to reduce
taxation upon the neeessaries OF
Iife-to reduce taxation on clothing,
on food, and on the implements OF
labor with which the toiling masses
make their daily bread. Then the
money markets of the world are to
be opened to the products of the
American Horkman's labor, and
fhat done there will be larger de-
mand fer his employment and con-
secuently higher wages for his
work.

FROM the oI. loHlS IoSI- I-DlSpdtcH.
One ofthe principal articles in the
constitution of the Wheel denounces
monopolies as dangerou to the best
interests of the country and tend
ing to enslave a free people. 1t
would take some remarkable logic
to reconcile this utterance with any
support of the Republican party,
the platform of which declares in
favor of the highest protection,
which alone makes monepolies and
trusts possible in this country.
The chances are that the intelli-
gent farmers who compose the

Georgia, the 9-year-old daughter OF

BIG ELECTION BETS.
Col, Hickey, of Fulton, Offers Big
Money on Grover Cleveland
Reliable Judgment.


NEW York, Sept. 24.-The an
nouncement of q big bet on there
suits of the national political con-
test or the serious offer of q respon-
sible man to make one creates
more comment here and is received
rs possessing more significance
than the oracular utterances Of
leading statesman of either party,
This evening in the st. James
hotel among u throng OF political
wranglers it was mentioned that
the night before, in Browns s
famous chop house, u son of Phil
Armour, the Chicago millionaire,
had offered to bet 5000 even that
Harrison would be elected. In
stantly Joseph X. Hickey, of Full
ton, Mo, pulled from pocket a
certified check for $1,000 on the
Madison Square bank of this city
and exclaimed:
Il will give $50 to any man who
will bring young Armour here and
induce him to repeat the wager.
Several young men made a run
toward the Brunswick hotel where
young Armour Is staying, but they
did not return. After waiting a
while Hickey authorized his friends
to announce that he would bet SS,-
900 to 81 900 that Cleveland would
be elected.
Coming from the man it does
this bet possesses L greater signi-
ficance than attaches to the Or
dinary wager. Hickey, although
director of the bank in the town in
which he lives, is the best known
non-professional sporting man in
America. With him betting is not
a sentiment. He hazards his
money on the face of a coin, on the
speed of a horse, on the popularity
ofa candidate, with GOODNESS born
of Judgment. Four years ago he
bet in one day $4,000 on Cleve-
lands election. He wagered al
together $50, 900 on the result OF
that canvass and won $4,000.
Whan ask upon what he based his
prophecy of Cleveland's election
he said: "My reasons are many.
In the first place Samuel J. Tilden
had an axiom that a party in power
is 25 per cent. better off than the
party not in power. If Cleveland
could win fouryears ago with an ad.
ministration against him how can
he lose now? That is the practical
way to look at the matter. Now
everything is in his favor. -Four
years ago the Democrats of New
York city were disunited and
Grant, the candidate for sheriff
received more than 10000 more
votes than Cleveland. Now thai
condition of affairs is changed. ]

Are not the millionalres in these
days numbered by thousands, when
not many years ago they were
counted but by the hundreds? Have
not these factory barous been the
sole benefciaries of the enormous
war taxes wrung from the people ?
Have not the present duties on
imports increased the cost of food
and shelter and clothing to the
people of this country? Can Il
case be quoted where the manu-
facturer raised the wages of his
men when added protection was
piled upon his products, and if
tariff reduction will cause an ine-
vitable lowering of wages, why are

Nor seek in distant lands for that;
