A CASE IN POINT.

master General in which. if the offence
charged isproven I'VE trust President Cleve-
land g policy with reference to interference
by Federal officials with political matters,
will be enforced. 1t is charged that
Division Superintendent in the Chicago
postofice went to the st. Louis conven-
ton and took an active part against one
of the candidates for Vice President;
against the reappointmenG of the present
Illinois member of the National Commit

Commissioner Black for Vice President.
If the Postal officials elect the politicians
and the politicians in turn elect the Postal
officials how are we, except in chance
cases, to have pure and efficient service.
And this is quite as true of the Revenue
and all other branches of the government
service. Wherein do we stand On higher
plane than the Republican administrations
of the past in regard TO Civil Service, if
our officials are permitted to initiate
theirs. It is the fashion of some to scott at
the Presidents Civil Service views, but if
the Democratic party and American peo-
Pile were polled tomorrow there is, deep
down in the judgment of an immense
majority of them, the conviction that

On the 5th of April. 1880, Hon. Levi P.
Morton, as member of the House from
New York, voted in favor of bill admit
ting free of duty, salt, type, and chemicals
used in making printing paper. All of
these things are made in New Y ork. Last
Saturday at bis home in Rhinebeck, N.
Y, he replied to the committee informing
him of his nominations:
''New York represents, to a large degree,
the business interests of all those ever-grow-
ing and wider-spreading commu mites of
varied interests and industries which it is the
mission of the Republican party to foster and
protect. The platform, SO wisely adopted at
Chicago, has this mission boldly in view, and
by its enunciation of these principles makes
the issue clear and distinct''
Which of the two are the Republicans
of the country to vote for-Morton the
free trader of 1850 or Morton the High
tariff candidate now "boldly in view''? Or
does he come under the baby-act put up
for Harrison.on the Chinese question-that
he has probably changed his views"?

The worst enemy to Protection is the
man who is advocating High Tariff, The
true friend of Protection must be blind
indeed who does not see that if he per-
NIT War tariff to be defended under the
name of Protection be will but damage the
cause he has at heart. We don't know
better illustration of the practical belief
in this than by referring to the case of
N. o. Nelson, of st. Louis. He is one of
the largest manufacturers of iron goods in
the West, declared protectionist and a
Republican. But for all that he has bolt
ed the Republican nomination and will
vote for Cleveland and Thurman. He s
one of the few manufacturers who share
their profits with their Workmen, and his
view of the Republican High Tariff plat
form is this:
cit is made to win on and not to believe in.
1t is campaign dodge. The protection plank
as there expressed is merely an offset to the
democratic plank for reduced tariff, and
think I represent large number of republi-
cans in Directing to it. The politicians gave
the whole thing away when they declared for
the obliteration of internal taxation to offset
their high protection. They were pretty hard
put"
1t is very probable that the 900 hands
employed, who share with Mr.. Nelson in
the profits of the concern in the manufac-
ture of machinery and plumbing goods.
hold the same views that he does.

FREE WHISKEY.


Last March, in speech at Chicago.
Gen. Ben. Harrison got the coming Re-
publican idea of tariff taxation, exactly.
He said:
''Some things may be too cheap. can't
find myself in full sympathy with this demand
for cheaper coats.''
Last month, at Chicago, the Republican
National Convention got the General 8
idea exactly. It said:
1--WE favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes THAT is, the entire removal of the whis-
key tax rather than the Surrender Of oay part
Of oar protectioe system.'
This elucidates the whole situation and
connects the Generals idea with that of
his party. To man full of free whiskey
it makes very little difference whether his
coat is cheap or costly. or indeed whether
he has any at all. 1t is rather surprising
that after such deft dovetailing of ideas,
the Republican leaders seem now disposed
to flee from their own handicraft. Col
Bob Ingersoll seems to be the only one of
them who stands up to it squarely. At a
ratification meeting in New York, June
30th, he said:
ssMere liquor does not make drunkenness,
The moral question of the whole thing is to
have the burden of government rest as lightly
as possible. Temperance walks hand in hand
with liquor. do not think that if the Mis-
sissippi River ran pure whiskey and the banks
were loaf sugar, and the flats grew mint, and the
bushes were teaspoons and tumblers, there
would be one more drunken man than now.
I am perfectly willing to have those who wear
foreign velvets and drink Chateau Yquem pay
the taxes, but don't want TO have the fellow
who drinks the domestic article taxed one
cent"
But however enticing Col. Ingersoll' g
description of Paradise of free whiskey
may be, there is large portion of the
people, whom its beauty does nothing but
anger. The N. Y. Times says:
The free whiskey plank in the Republican
platform, coupled with the energetic manner
in which the party is pushing Col Ingersoll to
the fore in the campaign, has given great Of
tense to many Republicans A Times repor-
ter yesterday had talk with the Rev. A. F.
Schaufier, D. D., well known Presbyterian
clergyman and the Superintendent of the New
York City Mission.
"I have always been Republican," said
DR.. Schaufaer, ''but on account of the free
whiskey plank in the Republican platform,
the position that party has taken in regard to
the surplus, its tendency to indulge in excess
sive pensionlng. and the manner in which it
has put Ingersoll forward in this campaign,
which is very offensive to me, and, in fact, to
very large portion of the evangelsts in this
country, shall not vote the Republican tick
ct this Fall. There are probably 1900, 900
evangelical voters in the United States. Col.
Ingersol has lost no opportunity to revile
them, make fun of the Bible, and otherwise
to SO disport himself as to make Republicans
utterly disguised. If the party persists in
keeping him on the stump during the cam
paign it will have the effect of driving away
many Republican votes.

Hon. A. r. Anderson, of Iowa, is an
Independent Republican, representing the
Eighth district of that State. He has
been commenting on the Chicago Conven-
ton having railroad solicitor for tenn
porary chairman, a railroad attorney for
permanent chairmen, a railroad President
for it's director, and railroad counsel for
its nominee for President. And further
on the attempt to characterize the per
cent. tariff reduction of the Mills bill as
free trade-a reduction that is very popu-
lar in Iowa. He said:
SIT is this failure to treat US fairly in the
matter of the tariff, and this constant truck
ling to corporate power, that is weakening the
hold of the Republican party upon the sturdy
citizens of the Northwest. We wish it were
otherwise, for we all believe it has performed
a greater work than any other political party
in the history of the world. But it is slowly
drifting away from its original moorings, and
there are many of us, in the Northwest espec-
tally, who feel that we cannot conscientiously
follow it in its search for strange gods much
further.''

ity for this is Mr.. B. F. Jones, Chairman
of the Republican National Committee
and member of the iron firm of Jones &
Laughlin of Pittsburg, one of the firms
whose employees have struck. Here are
one hundred thousand workmen-employ-
ed On heavily protected product, in be-
half of which the National Republican
party says it will have free whiskey rather
than abate one jot of its protection, and
backed, as our neighbor the Valley Var-
ginia1l assures us lin the case of the Low
Moor works. with the confidence that a
Republican Senate will permit no modifi-
cation of that protection-actually forced
out of employment because their protec-
ted employer wants to take from them 81
out OF every $40 they earn and perhapsyet
more when the Committees of the Anal
gamated Association shall decide that it
is time for it. And mark you, these iron
men are the millionaires of our country.
One hears of many lock-outs and strikes
but rarely if ever of one iron millionaire
bankrupted.
No workingman at any trade, who will
take the trouble to look into the matter,
will believe that High Tariff is the Pro-
lection that keeps European competition
off of him. What he wants is protec-
ton which will keep the Millionaires and
Amalgamated Associations and Corpora
tions of his own country off of him.
The question between the Republican
and Democratic parties of High Tariff and
Low Tariff is fairly made up. The Repub-
licans offer high tariff, with surplus in
the Treasury "judieiously expended'' on
pensions and other jobs; the Democrats
offer a lower tariff with cheaper necessaries
of life, and the money of the people re.
tanned in their own pocket instead OF the
government vault. The Democrats tell
you frankly that this is their first step to-
wards bringing down taxation to where it
belongs; that the difference between a
Democratic tariff at 40 per cent. and
Republican tariff of Al per cent. is not
large, but it is ~, the right direction; that
they could not now and cannot hereafter
afford to run the risk of imperiling manu-
features by longer step in that direction,
and that if this step does not keep the
money of the people out of the vaults Of
the government, then they will take a
longer step next time. To this the party
has pledged itself and it will keep at it till
that pledge is fully redeemed.
