Then and Now

Farmers in middle life who are
not quite persuaded that IL is for
their interests TO vote for protection
should recall the hard times that eN-
listed under Democratic rule In ante
bellum days. Theni
1t took the best COW in the barn
to buy a cooking stoves now the
price of COW will buy two stoves.
Then;
1t took a ton OF hay 10 buy a bar
rel of flour; now the price Of a ton
of hay will buy two barrels of -four.
Then:
1t took the best colt Ia the pas
ture to buy a clock; now the price
Of a good colt will buy good clock
and set a couple up in housekeeping.
Then:
1t took a whole calf 10 buy a wood
saw now the price Of a good saw Is
less than the hide Of the calf. Then 3
1t took a pound of the best butter
to buy pound Of nails; now you
can buy a pound OF nails for the
price Of a quart Of milk. Theni
IL took a dozen eggs 10 bay "a
pound of sugar; now the price of
dozen eggs will purchase three pounds
Of sugar.
Comparison might be multiplied
TO an indefinite length. Enough
have been made, however, 30 con
trast the free trade policy Of The
Democratic party, as Il operated be-
fore the war, with the Republican
policy that in the past twenty-five
years has brought prosperity TO the
producer. The Democratic party
so the leaders asserts and always
has been a free trade party II that
party succeeds in this election free
trade is thereby endorsed. Free trade
means the old condition Of things
the old prices. Which will you have,
free trade or protection,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.
WdShinQtop, Oct. 18th.

Washington, Oct. 10Th.
1t is stated at the Treasury that
there has been no change in the poll
cy of the department as to bond pur-
chases, and that hereafter the pur-
chases will be limited to bonds held
as security for national bank circula-
ton. The statement widely made to
the effect that it has been decided to
limit the purchases to a few millions
a month, is vigorously denied. 1t is
an open secret that the department
prefers to apply the surplus to the
purchase of the AZ per cent. bonds,
but that is not to be considered a
movement to discontinue the purchase
of the per cent bonds.
From eight to twenty senators gath
er in the senate chamber to-day, and
make speeches for want of something
better to do. Senator Hawley on
Friday said that he would not deliver
his tariff speech, and he Immediately
went home to Connecticut. The re-
publicans state that the postponement
of adjournment is exclusively due to
the attempt of the democrats of the
house to divert public attention from
the Mills bill, and fasten it on the
republican tariff bill. Messrs. Mills
and Carlisle, for this purpose are pre-
pairing briefs of the republican bill
with copIous remarks. The republic
cans further accuse the democrats of
using every possible effort to prolong
the session, statement which the
democrats deny in the most positive
language at their command.
Senator Hoar has introduced a bill
providing for the payment of $50 per
month pension to all seamen totally
disabled by reason of any disability
received during an engagement with
the enemy, on any vessel which was
thanked by the secretary of the navy
for gallantry.

Free Trade or Protection.

AS the end Of the canvass draws
near it becomes more and more impor-
tant for the American people to scan
closely the issues that are presented.
They should view the facts as impair
tial jurors and render a verdict ac-
cording to their best Judgment. Par
ty utilization or prejudices should not
defer any man from a conscientious
discharge of his duty to himself and
others.
If Mr.. Cleveland is reelected then
the free trade principles Of the old
southern confederacy are rehabilitat-
ed; the administration may fairly
presume that its policy is endorsed
and so execute it that every industry
at the North will be crippled. More
than this the reelection Of Mr.. Cleve-
land means continued disturbance of
the market, uncertainty of values and
doubts concerning the future pros
perity of the country. IL cannot be
possible that producers are so blind
to their own end as to give life TO the
Mills bill-a bill that means the prac-
teal obstruction of the industries of
the North.
If Gen. Harrison is elected-and
there can be little or no doubt about
it-then the protective policy of the
government will be continued. The
duty on sugar and other necessities
will be reduced, wool growers, wool
en- manufacturers and all other i'm
dustries will be protected, and the
country will continue, as it always
has been under republican rule, the
one country under the sun where the
poor man has a fair and equal chance
in the race of life. We feel confident
that a large per cent Of the thought
full mechanics and operatives Of this
community have made mp their minds
in favor of protecting the labor of
their hands, and that they will so re-
cord themselves on election day

The Outlook.

Unprecedented observers who have
the run of the national headquarters
of both parties in New York report
that the Republican managers have
small hope of carrying New Jersey,
and the Democrats generally concede
that they have no show in Connect
icut. We suspect this a reasonable
view to take, and the result will JUS
tify it. The backgrounds then,
from this time on, are in New York
and Indiana. If Harrison carries
either he will be elected. New York
is all right if we can get an honest
vote. Can we? That remains to
be seen. OF Indiana we know less
because it is farther away, but Gen.
Dudley, John c. New and other men
under whose leadership it has been
carried before, and who know as
well as anybody can know the situa-
ton, say it is all right. They know
they have a desperate foe to contend
with and that the margin is small,
but they privately and publicly as
sure their friends that the state will
be taken care of and placed on the
right side. We do not believe there
is any serious trouble in the North
west or on the Pacific coast, and
there is no evidence that the Demo-
Gratis expect to make any inrOads
there. All their talk on that sub
ject is buncombe, designed to give
the party courage elsewhere. To
say the least, their chance to cap
ture a state in those sections is not
as good as is the Republican chance
in Virginia and West Virginia, and
there need be little uneasiness about
it. The contest is close, too close,
but we have the best of it to-day

VIM. II. Barnum i in WASHINGTON

VIM. III. Barnum is in Washington
about half the time these days. The
amount of money he is collecting is
onl y to be guessed at, as the astute
William says nothing to the inter-
viewer, but it may be taken for grant
ed that no possible source Of revenue
is neglected by William-or any 9TH
er collector of either party.
In the house the few representatives.
that are left pass the time in object
ing. 1t is a great opportunity for an
intellectually small man, and the
small man makes the most of it, and
sees himself mentioned in the news
papers as statesman of no mean
calibre." The form runs thus "If
the gentleman is not satisfied TO with
draw, | will call the attention of the
speaker to the fact that quorum is
not present" Following this out
burst, the member sits down and
looks profound. The objections can
of course go so far as TO cover an adj
journment sine die.
Mrs. Cleveland is still enjoying her
outing. In the meantime the White
House has assumed its winter dress,
and awaits her coming. 1t is said
that Mrs. Cleveland will wear more
youthful costumes this season. But
l fancy that the November results
will dictate the colors. Between sack
cloth and ashes and the satins of SUI
preme victory there is no stopping
place. The position of the wife of
president, who, by any chance, had
to depart March 4, could be imagined
but hardly described.
Government contractors are having
bad time. The latest charge accus-
es stamp contractors of substituting
an inferior article for the gum arabic
called for as the proper adhesive ar
ticle on the backs of postage stamps.

true, but | have noticed that the

Secretary Villas received the dele
cations of the Sioux chiefs on Satur-
day, and assured the siXty-three of a
continuance of his most distinguished
consideration. The Sioux are quar-
tered at a fairly good hotel, and
amuse themselves at the expense of
the waters. There is nothing naughty
about Sioux brave. If his neigh
Dor has a cut of beef particularly
pleasing to the Indian eye, he does
not ask for it. He walks over and
grabs it. This conduct has obliged
the hotel to feed the savages in a sep
arate dining room.
Since Mr.. Corcoran died, Mr.. John

northwestern part Of the city, he in

folks thought they could exist without

The uprising of the natives along
the coast of Zanzibar, and the pre-
emptory orders to four German frig-
ates to proceed to.tbat region with
out delay, call fresh attention to the
fact that the Sultan's recent conces-
sions of territory to European ma
tons are not relished by the tribes
concerned, and that the despotic
way in which the Germans especially
have undertaken to enforce their au-
thority, is arousing a resentment
which will not easily be allayed.
The German grant lies south of that
of England, and is about twice as
large. 1t is ruled by an incorpora-
ted company, whose officials, scat
tered along the coast, have shown
such indifference to native feeling
and prejudice, and have been so
domineering, as to provoke several
collisions. So fierce is the indigna-
ton of the people. that all the coast
guards and German residents have
been recalled, as a matter of pKecau-
ton, from the mainland to Zanzibar,
and the German men-of-war are
busy transporting these garrisons
and merchants to the Sultan's capital.
The Germans have only themselves
to thank for this state of things, for
at Tanga and Pangani and Bago-
moyo and half dozen other places
their conduct was so intolerable as
to make them responsible for the re-
volt and bloodshed which followed.
They will easily recover control on
the arrival of e-enforcements, and
will exact indemnity for the planta-
tons and other property destroyed !;
possibly, too, after such a lesson,
they will behave like settlers rather
than conquerors-but that is almost
too much to expect.-Zion's Herald.

There seems to be no serious in
tention on the part of the Mormons
as body to abandon Utah and ex-
patriate themselves. Some expert
mental colonies have been started in
the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, but
though the tract of land taken up
there comprises 10000 acres, the to-
tai number of settlers does not exceed
600, and emigration thitherward has
practically ceased. Other colonies
have located in Canada, but the colo
nists have been warned that to prac-
tice polygamy would class them at
once with criminals. Meantime the
"Saints'' are finding life hard for
them at home. Statehood is denied
them until they utterly renounce their
peculiar institution, and until the ma
tional constitution is so amended as
to forbid it. Their church corpora
ton has been dissolved, and it's prop
erty, amounting to over $1,000, 900,
has been confscated by the govern
ment. Numbers of them are still in
hiding, and cannot emerge without
suffering the penalty of a broken law.
All this is hard; but, on the other
hand, body claiming to be religious
and practicing infamous crimes
against the social order, and claiming
an authority independent of the state,
must expect the sternest kind of re-
pressive treatment.

Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood, whose
serial story, "The Romance Of Dollard. "
begins in the coming November Century,
is an American lady residing in Hoopeston,

"Rocky Fort" and "Old Caravan Days. ="
She has been greatly interested i'm Cana

OF an American consul's family and saw
the inside of Canadian life. She herself
lately said: "The story Of Dollard at FIRST

One of the most significant fea-
lures of the campaign is the general
enthusiasm among the ladies for the
Republican ticket. Women have
always been on the right side of all
questions, and their moral aid in
this campaign is most encouraging
to Republicans. The Democratic
free trade policy is threat to SUI
persede the American home by the
European peasants hovel. The home
is woman's empire, and no wonder
that she is doing all in her power to
repel invasion.
