a PROTECTIVE tariff raises the wages OF

such tariff. Well, the tariff has been raised
teversl times since the war, but if the wages
OF any Of the men who make the articles Oh

increased. as consequence of the increase
in the tariff, it is more than those men are

SENATOR INGALLS, says "a co!ored demo
crat is political monstrosity that should
be crushed" The worst of this is the fact
that ninety nine hpudredths of the colored
people of the country believe it is true, and
&c. accordingly, SO that a democratic negro
voter is among the rarest of all rare things.
But as long as the negroes remain solid, and
for better ,eason, the white people should
bs SC; indeed in the South they must be so
in order to preserve the peace and welfare
OF their respective States.

The FACT that President Cleveland has
made contribution of ten thousand dollars
to the national democratic campaign fund is
cheering news to the national democracy
not because of the money that will help to
supply the demands of the campaign, but
because it shows that the Presidential nom.

IN RECENT speech made by member
Ct Congress to democratic audience in
Maryland, the expression that evoked the
loulest applause was the following Il be
lieye the civil service law should be aboi-
ished and the federal Offices given to good
democrats. l believe that public office Is a
public trust, but, under democratic ad-
ninistration democrats ought to be the
trustees" Now, there is rot the least
doubt that similar expression would have
received the same sort of applause from any
emblage of democrats in any part OF the
United States. Nor is there any doubt
among wise democrats that had the policy
thus endorsed by the Mary land democracy
been pursued from the first by the present
administration, Mr.. Cleveland would be re
elected by an immense majority.

SIR:-I have not heretofore taken any
part in city politics, but it seems to me
that the time has come when it is the duty
of every good citizen to look around and
see what is being done by his representa-
tives in city affairs. The question 10 now
being presented whether the affairs OF our
city sball be managed in the interests OF
the people or in the interests Of a few poll
ticians, whose only ohjsc and interest are
to remain in Office. 1t don't take much
study or investigation TO sse Though the
scheme of gerrymsndering tbs city. 1t 10
not done in the interest Of the people, but
solely for party purposes and the interest
of the Fest of politicians who are now
running the city deeply in debt. In the
frat place no Democrat was fit to take the
enumeration; it must be done by Rspub-
licans. This was a part of the scheme.
With all our influx Of population, building
of rotteriss, &c according to the enumera-
ton taken we have gained but 81 in the
past eight years. In 1880 our population
was 81, 1856; the enumeration just taken
gives us 1928. The most singular
thing is that the losses seam to be in the
Democratic wards, whilst Republican
wards have made gains. Bat they say
they make the re-apprOpOrtionment OF the
representation in Council so as the people
may be equally repre- 3ented. Let us take
the enumeration just taken, false as 1t
may seem, and zee under it whether they
are giving Democratic wards their Just
proportion of the representation. Tee
