An Engineer Tells of Some Fast Time.

"What was the fastest time you

country.

The address delivered by Gen. John b.
Henderson of St Louis, at Bowling Green,
was one of the clearest, strongest and best
yet made upon either side in the present
canvass. As it was delivered in farming
community il gave special attention to the
tariff as it effects the farmer. The free
trade demagogues of the Cleveland, Mills
and Breckenridge stripe claim that the pro-
tectiye system helps the manufacturer and
his operatives only, and Injuries the farmer.
Gen. Henderson had no difficulty in showing
that this pretense is not founded on fact For
example, while the value of all the farms of
the country was about So, 900 900, 900 in 1860,
the last year of the free trade era, it exceeded
$40 200, 900, 900 in 1880. Although the pop
ulation of the country had very much less
than doubled in the twenty years, the value
of the farmers lands had more than tripled
If he had desired to do so, Gen. Henderson
could have illustrated, in a still more inn
pressive manner, the benefits which the tariff
briags to the agriculturist. He could, for
example, have gone TO the census report and
shown the average value of the holdings of
each person in the distinctively agricultural
States in 1860 and 1880. thus:

She protested against turning il into a politi-

Republican party, that continually checks the
Democracy in its efforts to give the saloon

What Proves It.

The Hartford Times wants TO know why
We call the Mills bill a free trade bill. 1t is
a. Because it was drawn up by free
traders.
a. Because the free traders support it.
(s.) Because the vast majority of the
manufacturers, for whose benefit il is face
tiously said to have been drawn. are strongly
opposed to it.
o. And because in its analysis it reveals
the free trade purpose and in its application
it would kill out some American industries,
which Is the real aim of the British free
traders.
These ought to be reasons enough, but we
have more If wanted. Hartford Courarf.

HARRISON AT HOME.
The Estimation in Which He is Held
Among His Neighbors.

Indianapolis Letter to Trenton Gazette.
| had the pleasure of meeting the Rev
DR.. Mcleod, pastor Of the Second Presby-
terrain church, of indianapolis, and General
Harrison soon became the subj ect of our
conversation.
IL can say of General Harrison the high
est thing that can be said of any man." said
DIR. Mcleod, "that he is a Christian gentle
man. In all the years he has lived in this
city he has maintained that character.
While he is consistent Presbyterian, and,
therefore, a denominationalist, he is wholly
unsectarian. He is sufficiently liberal and
reasonable to recognize the good in other de-
nominations, and because of this he has the
respect and affection of members of all the
churches here. He is recognized first as
Christian, and afterwards as PRESBYTERIAN
AS a church worker he has done what he
has had to do quietly and in business like
manner. His piety never has been on exhi-
bition, but his sincerity never has been ques.
toned. His home life has been and is
everything which a good mans life should
be. He is a model husband and model
father, just as he is a model LAWYER and
model politician-or rather, let me say, a
model statesman. He is a model, however.
whom politicians might well follow. In
conclusion, believe he will make model
President.
"He is a man whom you feel you can
know and upon whom you can depend. You
do not look back over his whole spotless
life to satisfy yourself of this you ar. con-
WINGED by even a brief association with the
man. His sincerity, the frmness of his
convictions which impress you as being
founded upon carefully studied and fully
appreciated facts, and above all his thorough
devotion to what he believes is right, all
speak for him convincingly
81 am not politician and do not talk
politics, but appreciate the importance of
good msn-an enlightened Christian gen
tleman-at the head of the government, and
therefore shall vote for General Harrison"

It Changes Nothing in the Political
6ituation.

Cleveland and Bayard have been forced
to take action against their friend and
supporter, Lord sackville West. Ii was
not possible for them to do otherwise,
hard a. was the alternative to them. so
long az the British press and British man
ufacturer. expressed their strong wish for
the reelection Of the President whose
principles and measures are 20 completely
In accord with British interests, and the
British Minister made known his sym
pathies In a private manner, all was har-
mony between the White House and the
British Legation. But when the alliance
between England and the Democratic can
didates became known 10 the public under
the hand and seal OF the British Minister,
political necessity and partisan fear com
PEELED the return to England of the de-
tected diplomatic agent. His ofense in
the estimation Of the Democratic leaders
WAS that he put his opinions In writing
and run the risk of having his letter
printed.
But the fact remains certain and I'M
deniabe, that Grover Cleveland is the
British candidate, because his Free Trade
programme and his fishery programme are
those which British interests require and
which British statesmen eagerly desire.
Every essential statement in this regard
made by the Republican press since last
December is proved to be correct by the
letter of Lord Sackville West, which the
Democratic press and stump orators have
constantly denied, though their denial has
been In direct contradiction of the English
journals and reviews, as well az of the
public and private avowals of English
politicians and business men. The people
OF this country are about to give their
opinion of the policy and measures of
Cleveland and Bayard and their verdict
will be az decisive against the Democratic
officials AS against the conduct of the
British Minister.

In the three States first named manufac-
turing is virtually unknown, while in the two
other States the manufacturing interests were
comparatively small up to 1880, And yet in
each case the gain is wonderful The aver
age increase in all the States taken together is
much more than double. Population in all
of them expanded in high degree in the
interval, but the gain in proportionate wealth
was in far greater ratio. For instance,
while each man, woman and child in Iowa,
on the average, held property worth 1886 in
1850, the holdings of each amounted to ssh
in 1850. From every point in which the
subject may be viewed it can be shown that
the protective policy has been of immense
and lasting advantage to the farmer 81.

MILLS'S PARTISANS PANIC
STRICKEN
Prospect OF His Defeat.-A Resort to
Desperate and Unlawful Measures

WAsHiNGToN, Oct. 25.-Trustworthy in
formation received here from the IXth Tex
as District shows that the partisans of
Premier" Mills are in state of extreme
alarm over the prospect of his defeat. One
prominent and influential Democrat after
another has pronounced in favor of Jones,
the Independent candidate, who is making
gallant fight, and Mills's supporters are
resorting to desperate measures TO defeat his
opponent. The Independent Committee in
Nevarro county has issued an address warn
ing farmers to be on their guard, and setting
forth that fund of $500 has been raised
in that county alone to bride voters to cast
their ballots for Mills. This is county
which gave Mills some 800 majority two
years ago, but free trade and free wool have
made it doubtful and for the first time in
its history money has been raised to corrupt
the ballot box. The fact thst Corscana is
the home of Mills, who has been dubbed the
Sage of Corsicana," makes this extract
from the address referred to peculiarly in
teresting;
Now citizens of the Peoples party. You
have no money, but you have eyes. Your
committee know the names of each colored
man who has been bought and sent among
his people to persuade them. When any of
these come into the neighborhood find out
who he talks to and what he says. They
have become so bold in Corsicana that only
night before last they tried to buy one of the
colored leaders, who, like an honorable man,
spurned the offer, and told the colored club,
and begged Il EN- to stand firm. All honor
to such man who holds his vote above mon
ey. All the facts of this case are now ready
and will be presented to the next Grand
jury.
The penal statutes of Texas which the
committee proposes to invoke are as follows:
If any person shall furnish money to an
other for the purpose of promoting the sue
cess or defeat of any particular candidate he
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding
5000.
If any person shall offer or give bride to
any person for the purpose of inducing him
to persuade or procure persons to vote at any
public election for or against any particular
candidate, the person so giving and the per-
son so accepting shall be fined not exceeding
5000.
If any person shall bribe or offer to bride
any elector. for the purpose of influencing
his vote at any public election, he shall be
punished by fine not exceeding $500.
If the voter accepts the bride he shall be
punished in the same manner.

What Free Trade Means.

Roger q. Mills proclaimed in his speech at
East St. Louis that if Grover Cleveland and
a Democratic Congress should be reelected
this year the Democrats "will pass a tariff
bill that will put raw materials all on the
free list and pu, our own intelligent skillful
and productive labor in this country on
plane of equality with the laborers of other
countries" This is Mr. Mills language and
he meant every word of it, The workers of
the country now know what will come if they
put the Democracy again in power.
