A Campaign Of Thought.

It is to be a. campaign of thought,
the Democrats said at the very open
ing of the present canvass, and they
have kept their word. The literary
bureau system of campaigning, inau-
guratcd SO successfully by Mr.. Tilden
in 1876, has been carried out more
thoroughly and etfectuany this year
than ever before. The National Cam
paign Committee has sent out 4, $780,
600 documents already, and is sending
out from 100, 900 to $50, 900 more day.
When, in addition to this, the docu-
mentary work done by the sub and
State committees are considered, it is
safe to say that every voter in the
country has received one or more pO-
litical papers, showing why he should
vote for Cleveland. With all these
facts and arguments before them, with
the numerous publications showing
VIII at the Democrats have done for the
country and what they propose to do,
no Misrepresentation or falsehoods of
the Republicans can have the slightest
effect. There is no chance of the
campaign being turned on false Or
irrelevant issues, with the food of
documents now pouring over the coun-
try.---M O. Times Democrat.

Why Labor Can Not Get Rich by 1ncreas-

The leader of the Republican cam

question is merely question of wheth-

or low wages. ST will not" he said.
''stop to argue the question upon any
other basis. Then taking Massachu-

of the benefits Of protection to labor,
he proceeded to compare her labor
situation, not with that of Germany or
some other high-tariff country. but
with that of ''free-trade England In
order to make the comparison as favor
able as possible TO the protection the
DRY he ignored his own report as Sec

that the apparently larger pay in Mas
