Squire Bergstrom made a "bad
break when he read out of the dem
ocratic party such democrats as favor
the protection of home industries, and
he will bitterly repent taking such a
stand. Free trade will never become
popular in the United States. Were
Texans to vote, according to their con-
victions and the dictates of common
sense, Harrison would swap the state
of Texas by 10000 majority. The par
ty lash will lead them to support a
policy, that will put stop to indus
trial enterprises in Texas.

Cleveland's message vindicates the
action of the republican senators in
rejecting the treaty, since the griev-
ances enumerated in his message were
left untouched by the treaty. Bayard
is badly afflicted with Anglo mania.
This eleventh hour message is mere
electioneering trick, intended to break
the force of the blow of rejecting the
treaty, but it only places Cleveland in
the predicament of having approved
an improper treaty.

CHEAP POSTAGE.


port roads in the United States sem
ate to whom was referred senate bill
No. 1929, which proposes to merge
third and fourth class mail matter in
to one class and establish uniform
rate of one cent for every two ounces,
have made their report by the hand
of Senator Chase, of Rhode Island.
and recommended that the bill do
pass. The report enters quite extern
sively into the condition of the postal
service, the state of it's revenues, and
the feasibility of making the reduc-
ton as proposed. The matters en-
braced in the bill and effected by its
operations are:
(3) "Third-class matter, embracing
books, circulars, and other printed
matter wholly in print mot included
in the foregoing proof-sheets, correct
ed proof-sheets and manuscript copy
accompanying the same. The postage
is cent for each ounces or fraction
thereof.
az Fourth-class matter. This
class includes all matter not in the
first, second, or third classes, anu
which is not in its form or nature
liable to destroy, deface or otherwise
damage the con tents of the mail bag
or harm the person of any one en-
gagged in the postal service
The report deals with the classified
ton of mail matter and shows it's diff
cuIties; with the financial condition
of the postal ceuses, and shows that
within the past three years the pos
tai service has been able to practical
ly overcome a deficit of IS, 100000
while at the same time suffering a
loss of nearly two and quarter mil
lion by changes in postal legislation;
with the convenience of fourth class
mail matter for carrying parcels and
the necessity for making this branch
of the service as cheap and as inclu-
sive as possible; with the prOpriety of
continuing to carry fourth class mat
ter as not burdensOme to the mails;
protests against the discrimination
IN the postal laws against fourth class
matter; compares the postal schedules
of the United States with for
sign countries showing the greater
cheapness of the United States postal
service over all others save in the
matter of fourth class matter and COM
mends the parcel post of other coun-
tries as convenience very much to
be desired in the United States. The
report deals quite at length with the
views of the postal department upon
the proposed change and gives the
correspondence that ensued. The re-
suit summed up in the report and con-
illusions reached are, that the govern
ment tendency is to cheaper the SER
vice, profit being secondary to public
convenience, that present postal rates
more than maintain the service, that
there is nothing in the financial
condition to preclude change,
that the carriage of fourth class
matter is of universal benefit,
That in recent reductions fourth class
matter has been Disseminated
against, that Uncle Sam is behind
other powers in providing facilities for
parcel transportation by mail-that
it were wise to merge the third and
fourth classes of mail matter into one;
and, finally, that to reduce the rates
on fourth class matter would tend to
increase rather than diminish postal
revenues.

The English people are all in favor
of the reelection of Cleveland, because
they want free trade, which would
give them control of the American
market and enable them to suck all
the blood out of the American people.
This accounts for their tfucculent de-
nunciation of Blaine for having stated,
that England was "plastered over
with trusts;n he stated nothing but
the truth. The English don't call
these combinations trusts" and
hence they try to wriggle out upon a
technicality.

The democratic party is a huge
trust. The head centres are eX-seces-
sion leaders, and the aim and purpose
of the trust is to perpetuate the party
in power by intimidation, fraud and
bufldozing. The confederate constitu-
ton prohibited the levying of customs
duties for protection and the secession
element is but carrying out this clause
in their defunct constitution. Four
fifths of the supporters of the Mills
bill were rampant secessiOnists, and
the other fifth, were copperheads, like
Thurman, Voorhees,, Bayard, etc.
