Mr. Powderly calls upon the workingmen
10 abstain from the use of coffee, and TO buy
not an ounce of it until the reign of plumber
is at an end, plumber brought about by a
corner or monopoly to enhance the price for
the benefit of spectators. He ought to have
ineIuded sugar also in his request. The price
is going up because monopolists control it,
and if the public would determine to do with
out every article controlled by monopolists it
would break up the systematized robbery that
now lays hold of all the necessaries of life.
Or better still, enact laws to hang all who are
thus associated for public plumber, for they
are not one whit better than highwaymen,
who bid you hold up your hands and deliver
to them your money, holding 5 revolver to
your head, while the monopolists take your
money by as sure, though somewhat less
violent process.

Preparing Campaign Literature.

The Washington correspondent of metro
politan paper gives an account of the prepa-
ration of campaign literature for use by the
Democratic and Republican parties in the
progress of the present national canvass.
He says:
There is considerable inquiry among Republicans

sions and has written an able and comprehensive
article on the subject Analysing coneisely but very
effectively the record of the Republican party on
the subject But nothing further has been heard OF
the other writers OF the time of publication OF this
important work. The Democratic campaign book,
on the contrary, is nearly ready. Representative
Wilson of West Virginia. who is the president OF the
university of that state is preparing the INTRODUCED
nv chapter upon the history and principles OF the
Democratic party. Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky
will furnish the chapter upon the tariff; MI. Bel
mont the chapter upon the foreign policy OF the
government MIR. Matson will give the record OF the
Democratic party with reference 10 pensioning vet
Grams of the late war; Mr. Springer will discuss the
attitude of the majority in the house with reference
10 the territories seeking admission into the Union;
Mr. Herbert of Alabama will give history OF the
rebuilding of the United States navy and the part
the Democratic party has taken therein MI Randall

In leading article under the above cap

"Once in a while one hears Republican cry out.
we don't want tariff reform from the democrats
We want our own party to reform the tariff: Well,
the Republicans have refused to reform the tariff
for many years. In 1882 they created a tariff COM

ever since then they have done nothing themselves

Philadelphia letter in Saturday Herald, gives the

The Vital Issue.

Tariff revision and revenue reduction is the
,rn-ame issue between the parties IN the
nresent presidential contest. Hitherto Inc
tariff has been discussed more as theory
rresent;np the single question of protection
and announcement to our manufacturing III
dustries, than of cheapening all prouucts 10
consumers and of levying tariff duties solely
for revenue. 1t is now, however, presented
to the people as practical question that cans
Cor solution of an anomalous condition OF
ourindustry, our commerce and trade. " Is
brougbt prominently before the people by
overtaxation and the extortion oil unnecessary
millions from the ordinary channels OF trade
and industry, to overflow the treasury ana
tempt our lawgivers to extravaganza ana pro-
Aipaey in expenditures. DO those who adVo-
cato tho maintenance of war taxes believe that
the people can be deceived by the cry OF
danger to protection? Will not the peopie
fullv understand that the Mills bill now pend
ing in Congress, introduced and advocated by
the Democrats, maintains higher protection
to our industries than were liked by Mr. oiay'
the father of protection, in the tariff OF lS42'
or Inv Morrill, and Kelley, the present leaders
of urotection, in the tariff of 1861. Inc TAR
ifs of 1912 and of 1861, were distinctly pro-
tective, made by protectionists for protection'
There was no hindrance to the fullest measure
of protection, and yet the tariff OF lo4z taSeu
the people only SO per cent. and the tarin OIL
1861 taxed them but "a per cent while the
present tariff taxes them over IL per cent
and the Mills bill reduces the tariff only per
cent. leaving higher taxes and greater protec-
,;on than were fixed by any distinctively pro-
,ective tariff in the whole century OF our
government.
What answer can the protective Republi-
cans make to these undeniable factsF Abso-
lutely none. They know that after the re-
duction proposed by the Mills bill, that there
will still remain higher rate of protection
than was proposed by Mr.. Clay himself, the
father of the so-called American System.
They also know that the exigencies OF trade
and an overlooking treasury demand TINS re-
duction. They know also that they them
selves promised reduction in their platform oil
1884, and that they have not only not re-
deemed their promises, but have obstinately
and perversely INSTRUCTED the Democrats IN
all efforts to bring about reduction OF the
surplus and to prevent financial crisis, so
ruinous to the business industries of the coun-
try. If relief should not come, and imam
eial crash should ensue on account OF the
withdrawal of SO vast sum Of money from
the pockets Of the people, the Republican
party will be responsible for the ruin wrought
by its own hands.

The Sentinel last week thought the ADyo-
CATE could not have been serious when it said
'sput Illinois in the doubtful column" The
Chicago Inter Ocean, Republican journal
that looks at facts and knows the drift of sen
timent, takes a serious view of the situation,
and not only considers the issue in that state
doubtful, but also fears the Democrats will
control the next Legislature and elect Demo
crat to succeed Senator Colon, thus giving
our party control of the U. S. Senate, The
Sentinel may look upon all heretofore reliable
Republican states as certain for Harrison, but
the whole West is trembling in the balance,
except Ohio, and there will be some aston
ishing results there.

Republicans Denounce their Plat.
form.

In the New York Evangelist Of last week
the Rev. DIR. Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brook
lyn, President of the American Temperance
Association, publishes "a Free Talk on Free
Trade and Free Whisky" in which he gives
his opinions of the Republican platform. DIR
Cuyler says:
In 1854 the Republican Convention wisely declar-
ed in favor fthe revision of the tariff and the re-
duction of the enormous ana dangero9s i

The tariff has been discussed in these col
umns by the publication of number of the
most important speeches delivered in Con-
gress, and the urgent necessity Of reduction
in the revenue has been presented to the peo-
pie through the same media and in variety
of ways, so that if our readers do not yet I'M
derstand the subject, it is their own fault.
They have either not read what has been
published, or having read it, they have not
properly understood, although it has been
made as plain to the understanding as the sun
is to the sight at MONDAY. But we believe

Why This Hating?

A vote upon the Mills bill has been delayed
long enough, and too long already. The
Democrats are growing FESTIVE under the
delay. What is it that prevents final action
upon this measure in the house of its friends?
Let the vote be taken at once and disposed
of let Congress pass the remaining appro-
priation bills and adjourn, and let the Demo
Gratis go before the country arraigningl the
Republican ohstplntionists upon the issue, and
the National Democratic Committee should
set about the business of the campaign without
further hating. The Democratic masses
demand it, and are impatient of this delay and
indecision.

A Fatal Step.

From the Elmira Gazette.
The Republican platform declares that
"We favor the entire repeal of the internal
revenue whisky and tobacco taxes rather
than the surrender of any part of the protec-
tive system
This means that General Harrison prefers
free whisky to free salt, or lumber, or wool,
or clothing. He disagrees plumply with Mr..
Blaine, who declares that ito cheaper the
price of whisky would be to increase its con-
sumption enormously and "destroy high
license at once in all the States.r To know
that Harrison stands on that platform which
Mr.. Blaine and every man of sense condemns
will be enough to turn thousands of voters
from him. He has taken step which he
ought to have avoided and which brighter
man in his place would have avoided. He
has committed himself to platform declara-
ton which is against good sense, good morals
and the public welfare.

A southern Tribute to Gov. Beaver.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 11.-A pleasant
incident of Governor Beavers visit to Chat
tanooga WAS the presentation to him of a cane
by N. B. Forest Camp of Confederate Vete-
rams. The presentation remarks were made
by Col Tomlinson Fort, q prominent citizen
of Chattanooga, who recited the fact that the
cane was cut on Lookout Mountain from a
hickory tree, alongside of which rebel boy
was found dying after the famous battle. In
his remarks Col. Fort paid a high compli-
ment to Governor Beaver, saying that the gift
came from the hearts of the Confederate
Veterans, concluding with the words; And
our only regret, sir, is that we can't give you
that other leg in as good condition as it was
before we shot it off of you. y

Baltimore women, the excellence of the Ches
