We seek to reduce taxes upon the necessa- ries of life; our opponents seek to increase them. We say give to the masses of the peo- pie cheap and good clothing, cheap blan- ksts, cheap tools and cheap lumber. The Re- publicans, by their platform and by their leaders in the Senate, by their proposed bill, say increase the tayes on clothing and blan- kets and thereby increase their cost, main- tain a high duty on the tools of the farmer and mechanic and upon the lumber which they need for the construction of their modest dwellings, shops and bsrns and thereby pre- vent their obtaining these necessaries at req sonable prices.

RIKER AT WORK IN MERIDEN

MER1DEN, Oct 13-John E. Riker, who left New Haven 80 suddenly week ago last Sunday, has turned up in this city where he evidently proposes to remain. When he left home it was in the morning about 10.30 o'clock, Mrs. Riker, whom he only married last May, was getting dinner at the time. The son came here and found that his father was at work here as freight clerk at the Consolidated Railroad depot. It seems that when Riker left New Haven he came directly to Meriden and tried to obtain job at the Curtis House as a cook. No cook was wanted, but after few days got work in the depot. His friends, it is said, are now trying to get him job in one of the Meriden fac tories. MT. Riker is some twenty years the senior of his wife. After the death of his first wife, to whom he had been married for thirty-one years, he boarded with his son until last May, when he went to keeping house on Lyons street, New Haven.

Relaylng of Tracks in she eur.

It is expected that next spring the Consol- dated road will relay the tracks in the cut in this city. As at present constructed there is little space between cars when they meet and this was the reason that the Pullman cars could not be run by the New England road by way of New Haven. This will require modification of the old bridges and lowering of the grade in portion of the cut. When these improvements are made the Consoli- dated road can run any cars now in use.
