Skies Bright In the Northwest

The Democratic editors and orators ar,
often telling what wonderful progress:
Free Trade doctrines are making in the
Northwest among farmers, workingmen-
and politicians. But whenever they are
called to give facts, to present list Of
names OF citizens who have become con-
verts to the Golden. Club literature, and
supporters of the Mills bill, their boast
full claims cannot be verified. About the
only individual named seems to be Nelson
of Minnesota, respectable gentleman, of
Norwegian birth, who appears to have
brought with him to his adopted
country some of the economic notions
Of Europe, which at the date of
his coming to the United States were
more in vogue then than they are now
among the statesmen of the Old Cont
nent. Though this Minnesota Representa-
tive has his crotchets, he does not endorse
the Mills bill and the Cleyelandites can only

new, for it is an old campaign SANDER that
before General Harrison never uttered it.
and his friends at indianapolis keep standing
in the newspapers an offer of a thousand dol
lars reward TO any person who can furnish
proof that he uttered it. The libel is toe
stupid to have any effect, except to show in
what desperate straits the Democratic party
now is. Eight years ago it had its Morey
letter, bald forgery written by man in the
pay of the Democratic party; four years ago
it had its Burchard, whose words were used
in the same dishonest manner, and this year
it has resorted TO anonymous ISLANDERS to
poison the minds of workingmen against the
Republican candidate. Its stupid lies and
forgeries react only upon itself. In this in
stance they have come SO early that the
country will have full opportunity to under
stand its utter depravity before 1t can do the
mischief it desires.

i'm part have the aid of his services in the
Washington debates. Wisely he has con-
cluded to retire from Congress, and it is
well that the Republicans of his district
will have an opportunity to fill his place
by the election of a Republican in full
sympathy with the Protective views of
the Republican party. All the best in
formed persons, those who have excep-
tional facilities for observation, give an
encouraging assurance of the excellence
of Republican prospects in the Northwest.
For those Republicans who favor consid-
cradle changes in the tariff system, the St.
Paul Pioneer Press has been and still is
the leading spokesman of the Northwest.
And it now bespeaks for itself and its
constituency enthusiastic support of the
Republican ticket. Its words should be
read by every Republican who has had
distrust Of the sterling Republicanism of
the Northwest.
The Pioneer Press supports, heartily,
cheerfully and enthusiastically. the nominees
of the Chicago convention. 1t believes in the
Republican party. Ii believes that this party
contains the great body of intelligence and
patriotism Of the country. 1t is convinced
that the party has great work to do, mis-
sion which can be entrusted to no other hands
and viii be fulfilled by no other instrument

moeracy, even when that assumes the garb
of virtue, and voices professions whose value
its national leader has taught to estimate

welfare and progress of the United States
demand the return of the Republican party
to national power. In supporting that party
it reserves, as it has always done, the right of
private judgment. and will not hesitate to
stand for principle wherever the interests of
the people require a stand to be made. OF
the platform assented to by the Republican
convention it has already spoken at length.
That platform meets with its cordial approval
with a single exception, which has been stated
and criticised in full. But one plank is not
a platform, any more than the platform
adopted by one convention represents the
whole of party or defines its past or limits
its future. That the country has prospered
under tariff, even under high protective
tariff, is truth, so palpable that We have
heard no one deny it. That the protective
system is immensely popular, and that its
popularity has been and still is on the increase,
| is another truth which the Democratic party
! is likely to realize more fully and soberly
after next November than it does to-day.
But there are other things than these in the
body of the Law and the prophets. Admitting
every fact of the situation, giving due weight
to every tendency of the times, having neither
the disposition nor the desire to change the
issues that have been made up for the people
to decide, the Pioneer Press, having changed
its position in no respect whatever will be
| found at the Old stand where its readers have
expected to find it for so many years, without
a disappointment.

The Calumny Exposed

One of the most shameless frauds
which Democratic newspapers and st.
Johnite politicians are attempting to palm
off before the public, is their attempt to
make it appear that the Republicans are
in favor of free whiskey. Their pretence
is that the Republican platform adopted
mt Chicago demands free whskey. All
honest persons who have read that plat
form, know we'll that it says nothing OF
the kind. IL does not even call for the
repeal of the internal revenue laws, which
were passed solely for the purpose of col
Letting war taxes. 1t does favor ''the
entire repeal of the internal taxes rather
than the surrender of any part
joint behest of the yhiskey trusts
and the agents of foreign manufacturers,
though there are strong reasons to be-
lieve that there will be no practical neces-
cept those used in the arts and for manu-
featuring purposes. The Third Party
platform adopted at Indianapolis, on
which Fisk was nominated aud stands
before the public, demands The abolition
ofiaternH tdreS Withom conditions. Yet
st. John and those like him accuse the
Republicans of providing in their platform
for free whiskey, though they adopted
with great unanimity a plank which APP
proves of all wise and practical
efforts for the promotion of
Temperance. The Philadelphia Press
correctly remarks that "the present fear
OF the Democratic party is not that whiskey
may be free, but that the whskey trusts
may get hurt. These whiskey trusts have
been built up under the internal tax, and
rs they are among the trusts which-like
the Sugar Trust-the Democratic party is
championing, 1t objects to anything which
Is likely to injure the combine. 1t is a
profitable source of campaign revenue for
the Democrats in all elections, and they
are under the strongest obligations to pro-
tect it for the Doodle there is in it, Just as
they stood up and voted soldly fer the
Sugar Trust in the House the other day.
When 1t comes to the naked question of
temperance the record of the Republican
party presents contrast with that of the
Democratic party which renders sickly
and ridiculous the Democratic clap-trap
about free whiskey. In Pennsylvania, in
New \ ork, in New Jersey and other states
Republican effort to restrict the liquor
traffic has almost invariably met practi-
cally solid Democratic opposition. The
temperance legislation of the Republican
Legislatures of New Y ork and New Jersey
has been vetoed by Democratic executives.
All these are things which the people
know, and the cheap clatter of demagogue
newspapers will not change them"
This disgraceful alliance between the
Democratic and the Third Party leaders
will not be able to succeed in 1883 as it did
in 1854. The mask is torn off and the
fraud exposed

Humans Attitude During the War

From the Grand Army journal (Ind.).l
In the early days of the Southern rebellion,
while the spirit of loyalty was subjected to
severe test, Allen G. Thurman, addressing a
Democratic State Convention in Ohio in
1862, had no better words of encouragement mt
to offer in behalf of the national strife than
these: at would try the ethics of any man
to deny that some of the Southern states
have cause for revolution. The South are
brave people. The Southern states cannot
be held by force. The blacks won't fight
for the invaders. The Hungarians had less
cause for complaint against Austria than the
South against the North" All through the
prolonged and bloody struggle which fol-
lowed Mr.. Thurman maintained the same
unpatriotic attitude Finally, in 1864, just
before the dawn of national triumph broke
upon the country he prepared for the plat
form adopted by the National Democratic
Convention that year the famous resolution
declaring the war failure, and demanding
a humliating surrender to the forces of
treason and disunion. Are these good rea-
sons for elevating Mr.. Thurman to the
second Office in the gift of the Republic?
