DEMOCRATS NEATLY CAUGHT.

DEMOCRATS NEATLY CAUGHT.
Boston Transcript.
Mr.. Dingley proposed an amendment
reducing the duty on sugar to Al per
cent. ad valorem, which he said, would
make the duty on sugar little greater
than the average of existing duties on
manufactured goods. The present rate
of duty on sugar is 80 per cent, so that
Mr.. Dingley's proposition for a reduc-
ton to Al per cent, without any bounty,
was more radical proposition than Mr..
Cannon's. The Mills bill proposes re-
duction to only 68 per cent; so that
when the Democrats came forward, in
Guiding their most radical tariff reform
ers, and voted for 68iper cent. duty on
sugar, and defeated proposition for a
Al per cent. duty, for which all the Re-
publicans but two voted, they stultified
their party's record as expressed in the
st. Louis Platform, demonstrated the in
sincerity of their pretension to be the
guardian of the popular interests, and
proved that they cannot be trusted to
reduce taxation with impartiality.
The Republicans in the House are to
be congratulated on having fairly caught
the Democratic majority in nice little
trap, and upon having made point
which will tell well in the campaign.

PROTECTION POINTS.

Cincinnati VolkSbatt
TIE quinteScenee of the Mills bill is
tariff protection for the South and free
trade for the North.
THE Democrats say that the neceSsa-
rieS of life must be cheap and according
to this principle they want heavy duties
on sugar and rice.
THE ability to purchase is not gained by
lowering wages. The less the farmer
and laborer earns, the less they are able
to pay.
THE American workingmen are con-
Stantly agitating cheap prison labor; but
the Democrats expect that the American
workingmen can quietly submit to the
competition of millions of cheap Eu-
rOpean workingmen.
IT is better not to oppose the immi-
grafton of foreign workingmen than TO
admit their cheap labor productions; the
workingman would at least spend his
wages in this country.

Ne'cS says that tariff reduction would
not lower wages
because wages are not regulated by
the profits of employers, but by the sup
ply of labor and the demand of it."
But it forgets to tell its readers that
the demand for labor in this country
must decrease with the increase of i'm

FARMER DEAN FLOPS. TOO.

ALABOR LEADER AND NTI-MONOPOLISI
SHARPLY REBUKES TIE DEMOCRACY.
Toledo dispatch Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Farmer Dean is for Harrison and
Morton. A man known all over the
world as an oil and gas operator, lead
ing Knight of Labor, for years a shining
light in the Greenback party, he has de
cided this year to vote the Republican
ticket.
81 am an American" he says, in ex-
PLANTATION of his position. In New York
State farmer Dean for years been recOg-
nized as a leader of men and an indie
pendent thinker of great merit. For
years before his advocacy of the princi-
pies of the Greenback party, Dean was
Democrat and he never voted the Re-
publican ticket in his life He is very
popular with the oil and gas men and
the workingmen, especially in the East.
Before the campaign is over he will
probably have been heard upon the sub
jects of labor and protection in many
States. A member of the New York
Anti Monopoly League, he was strong
supporter and an intimate friend of
Gen. Ben Butler in 1884. He was an
elector on the Greenback ticket in New
York in the last Presidential campaign.
Speaking of Cleveland, Mr.. Dean says:
''He has been false to his promises to la
Dor as he has been false to his promises to
the civil service refOrmers. He has gath
cred around him clique of millionaireS
Congressman Scott, Senator Payne,
Secretary Whitney and Col. Brice. They
are all good anti-monopolists. There
are more millionaires to-day in Wash
ington than ever before Never before
were the snobs of foreign aristOcracy so
petted by any administration as by
Cleveland's. Responsibility is at dis
count; availability at a premium. The
atmosphere is charged with snObbery.
The Standard Trust, with all its money,
influence and power, regardless of the
political prOclivities of the members, is
for Cleveland. The Cleveland million
aires in Washington cannot be counted,
and all this is the more bitter, the more
hateful because in days gone by Cleve-
land was supposed by those who knew
him best to be a man of the people,
pledged to the doing of the right"

THE compilation of statistics in the
State Auditors Office makes an important
showing on the wool question in how
much the agitation of the Mills tariff
bill has affected the sheep growing in
terest in the State of Ohio for the past
year.
The threatened agitation of the tariff
on wool, and the Democratic heresy of
free trade, has cost the farmers of Ohio,
as the statistics in the State Auditors
office show, decrease in the flocks of
Ohio in round numbers $4,000 sheep
less than in 1887. This, at last years
average price, 30 cents per pound. is a
loss to Ohio of $1ll,000.
The number of sheep in Ohio this
year will show to be about 3,740,000,
which at fair estimate of 40 cents loss
per head in price of wool, aggregates
81, $4,000, to be added to the above
loss, thus showing the loss to the farm
ers of Ohio for this year alone by the ag-
itations of this one industry of Sl,607,-
900.
This money the farmers, manufactur-
ers, merchants, laborers and various in
dustries of our State are deprived of,
and are directly traceable and chargea-
BILE to the Democratic party.
The State Auditor will in a few days
give out for publication the loss by
countieS.-O. s. Journal

WOOL GROWERS, ATTENTION.

THIS is WHAT THE MILLS BILL BRINGS
YOU IN COMPETITION WITH.
New York Special to Cleveland Press (Free Trade
Samuel McCaughey, of Melbourne, is
owner of 100000 sheep and one of the
most influential wool producers in Aus
tralia. McCaughey has had an agent
busy here all winter purchasing fine
specimens of American merinOs in Yer
mont, New York, and Michigan. He
has been at the AstOr House few days
attending their shipment and the sheep
were sent to London by the steamer
Richard Hill. American merinos were
introduced into Australia by w. g.
Markham, of Avon, N. Y, in $780,
Markham was Secretary of the National
Wool Growers Association, and con-
vinced some Australian sheep men that
| the fleeceS of their sheep could be in
creased in weight by crossing with the
American breed. Experiment proved
eminently successful, and the result is
that rich dealers, who can afford the ex-
pense, are producing as much American
stock as possible. After giving these
and many more interesting points con-
cerning the difficulty and expense of
procuring American sheep, McCaughey
said: "No doubt we can produce sheep
and wool much cheaper in Australia
than you can here. WedO not shepherd
our flOcks. We enclose the country in
paddocks, ten miles square, with 7-wire
fences. The minimum cost per annum
of raising sheep on freehold land, of
which our firm has 100000 acres in one
locality is "a cents for feed and so cents
for management and shearing. But the
ordinary price of common sheep that run
on land leased at nominal sum from
the government, is only A cents per
head. If the American tariff is taken
off, our wool will be worth cents more
per pound at once, and American wool
will fall cents. Our chief source of
profit is in the sale of the surplus stock
for which there is always good market.

sLAsHED WITH A RAZOR.
One Negro Slabs Another on Accom-
of an Old Debt.

About o'clock last night George Kent
and Julius Aiken, both colored, got into an
alteration at the corner of West Broad
and Minis streets. Aiken was slashed across
the abdomen, and received a frightful
wound. His intestines were exposed, and
1t was thought that he was fatally wounded.
The cut was evidently made with razor.
Officer Dryer was in the neighborhood and
arrested Kent and took him TO he barracks,
where he was locked up Aiken walked to
the barracks holding the cut pressed to-
geiher. 1t bled profusely, and he was sent
to his home on Margaret street, where he re-
ceived medical attention. The trouble be-
tween the men grew out of the refusal of
payment for an old secondhand banjo.
Aiken had bought the banjo from Kent and
had made partial payment on 1t. Last
night Aiken sailed forth fer the purpose of
doing some serenading, taking the banjo
along with him, when Kent caught sight of
him and the banjo and demanded the bal
ance due on the instrument. 1t was re.
fused aud Kent snatched the banjo from
Aiken. The latter demanded the return of
the money which he had previously paid,
and which was refused Hot words then
ensued, and Kent terminated the quarrel
by using his razor.

while the length of the Mexican Central

which has been pending between the Wag-

a hitch in the trade some way or other and
the trade was not closed. 1t is now re-
ported that the differences have all been
settled and the trade has been closed This

Principles Advocated by Thomas JEFF
ferson.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept 1s-The Old Ro-
mans Guard, a recently organized demo-
cratic campaign club, was presented last
evening with silk banner by the demo-
cratic ladies of Columbus. A couple Of
other clubs were on hand at the presenta-
ton, and speeches We're made by the Hon.
Thomas f. Powell, Mayor Bruck and
Hon. A. G. Thurman, who re-
ceived the banner for the club. He
thanked them for the honor done him in
naming their club after him, and spoke of
the work in which the organization was en-
gagged. ut was over 100 years ago that
Thomas jefferson declared the principles
that wiped slavery from our fair land.
To-day there are lot of white slaves in the
domain of christianity.
THE EMANCIPATION OF 1776.
"Why, it was due to democratic princi-
pies that the shacSleS were stricken from
ali the slaves in that memorable year of
1776. 1t is true we had blacks in slavery,
evitable result of the principles espoused by
jefferson and embodied in the declaration
of Independence. You cannot name one
good cause in the last hundred years that
has not been fostered by the Demo
cratic party. Europe to-day is not
what it was one hundred years ago.
Its nations were ruled by intolerable des-
pots; It's men were sent off to f~ht battles
in which they had no sympathy or interest.
1t is not so now. | have travelled foreign
lands and seen men walking erect with free
and independent bearing, but it is not equal
to the freedom enjoyed in the United States.
A TERROR TO DEsPOTs.
Democratic principles have permeated
even the oldest despotisms, aud have
wrought wonderful reforms You, my
young friends, are engaged in a noble cause,
to sustain the principles of equal rights
You are to do unto all men as you would
have them do unto you, and make this coun-
try the great example in war, freedom and
prosperity of the masses. thank you for
the welcome you have given me and esteem
manifested. Should fortune go our way
will so do my duty that you, my friends,
will never blush.
