THE Two POLICIES Buy bonds al q
premium and spend any remainder of
the surplus Is the Republican revenue
policy as defined by Candidate Harrison.
This means taxstion for premiums 10
tondholders and for bounties to over
protected monopolists. Ii means the de-
liberste adoption OF the policy OF spend
ing surplus revenue, instead of stopping
it by reducing taxes, as is done in every
other civilized government in the world.
stop the surplus by reducing he taxes
on necessities of the people is the Demo
cratic policy as defined by President
Cleyeland.-N. Y. World.
THE SESATE.-Although the question
of revenue reduction has been pressed up
on the attention Of the Senate majority
for months, the only response has been
to vote away the public money right and
left 10 increase enormously the aggregate
OF whatever appropriation bills may have
been sent over from the House, anG 10

MAJOR BARTTELoT's MURDER.-Major

for Henry VI. Stanley's .elief, has been

rouse grave fears for Stanley himself
1t is well known that Tippo lib has no
reason 10 regard with favor the influx Of
European civilization into Africa. His
interests are all with the slave traders, OF
whom he was long openly leader. He
supplied Major Barttelot with the men
who committed the murder. as he had
supplied Stanley months before. II is
not unreasonable, therefore, 10 suspect
that somewhere in the unknown territory
beyond the Afuwimi, where Stanley /
struck off toward Wadeiai, a similar act |
of treacheTy may have crippled or even I
destroyed Stanley's loyal followers

A CoRKER.-The Tribune at last al. |

ted out TO the workingman. 1t says that |
wages are and always have been higher |
in this comparatively new country than /
in other and more crowded countries" |
This is we'll for a start. Now continue |
the confession of truth by admitting |
that wages ARE and always have been /
higher" here 5ecQuss the country Is com /
paratively new and furnishes a greater /
demand for labor than the older and more /
crowded countries"
Confess, also, as we have demonstrated /
by tables published in your own /
columns, that wages differ as much in I
this country in the same industries in /
different states as they 10 between this /
country and England-N I. World.

Mr.. George c. Gorham, brilliant aud /

banner of Grant, the intimate friend and /
counsellor of the late Roscoe Conkling. /

respondence, ayowed his preference for
Mr. Cleyeland.-Herald.
In criiicising Mr.. Watterson's address /
in New York the Herald says that Mr. /
Watterson as one of the most brilliant /.
and conscientious leaders of the Demo T.
cratic party, believes that this campaign /
is to be won by speaking, not concealing /
the truth by arousing, not explaining /
by holding the standard high by rally T
ing around Mr. Cleveland as the Demo /
cratic leader. Mr.. WattersOn sees that /
Cleveland is a second Jackson making .
another Jacksonian fight, ami his eloquent I
address last evening will be new ami I
nation to victory"
GIFTED FROM Ben. HARRIsoN's Re /
CORD The Kansas City Times says that
at the very time that General Harrison
was declaring that these poorly paid .
workmen were receiving wages enough,
he was himself attorney for the Ohio and .
Mississippi Railroad Company, with
salary OF 100000 a year The Iimcs finds .
in this fact Il sufficient explanation OF
General Harrisons numerous rage
against the strikers Perhaps so, but
this fact is not likely to soften the wrath
of the men, who propose to make their
enemy remember with regret his bitter
words and hostile acts OF eleven years
ago.-N. Y. Star
TAXED TIN.-"The dinner pail, says
the Hartford Courant, lis the proper
badge for the present campaign" Ia one
sense ii is a good badge for the RepublI-
cans, the badge of seryitude TO one OF
the m.anesi aud most unjustiiable exact
lions ever imposed on a Tree people. The
dinner pail Of every workman in the
land is made of material taxed over one
third of its value in the country from
which il is brought, without the shadow
of advantage TO any one in this country
since no tin plates are made heFe.-N.
