Republican Meeting.

A fair audience greeted the Hon.
o. Jacobs and L. B. Andrews last
evening. The speeches were splen.
did. Mr.. Andrews spoke chiefly of
the condition of ireland, under pro-
lection, and how she was happy, con-
tented and prosperous. He showed
how Britain had first taken away
her parliament, then her protection,
and how she was now suffering from
poverty, with no business thriving,
no contentment among her people.
no prosperity at all. This, he affirm
ed, would be our condition, too. if We
fell into the fatal error of free trade.
MIR. Jacobs spoke of the reasons
why he was Republican. He re-
ferred to the past grand history of
the party, and said it was a grand
record-the guarantee that the party
had character, a disposition to do
right. lie referred especially to the
AudACldl 1OCOio VI lI6 party. anu
showed how the nation was bank
rupted by the war, and how, with
war that required billions of money,
they had, in twenty-four years. time,
restored the confidence of the people,
reduced the interest to 81 per cent,
and had fine surplus in the treasu,
ry. He spoke of MIR. Voorhees, rec
ord, and claimed that, excepting the
one item of custom house, he, (Mr.
Jacobs) had during the four years
that he was delegate, secured more
money than had Mr.. Voorhees,. The
custom house, he claimed, was far
more due to Port Townsend's busi-
ness representatives than to Mr..
Voorhees,.
The meeting closed with enthusi-
asm and was a success.

silly Twaddfe.

The extract from Secretary Fair
,L..G's speech. printed in the CGE, is
the siI!iest twaddIe ever put in print.
Il ignores clearly one OF the great
compensating elements to the bank
that Of issuing currency upon which
they derive the only income. Every
national bank has to hold q certain
amount OF government bonds, the
amounting corresponding to its cap
ital and business. As compensa-
ton for this It Is privileged to Issue
currency. upon which the whole rev.
euue pertains to the banks Mr.
Fuirchild ignores thi-. the equity
principle Of the national banks, and
claims that the recent loans by the
government to Some-ouly part
Of these banks, Is an equity to them
for holding these government bonds.
Now these government bonds bring a
high premium in the market, and
who but benevolent Bro. Cleveland
would ever have Thought Of eXtend~
ing sympathy to these great corpora
lions or holding on to these bonds
when they were at such great pre-
MUM in the market?
The loan of S60OOO,0OO is an en-
tireIy different matter 1t never en-
tered into the equities Of the case at
all. The editor Of the CSH knows it
did not. Every working man knows
it did not-every half idiot in the
United States knows it did not.
But why be partial to these banks
Why select one in Washington Ter
ritory and ignore all the rest? Is
there only one bank deserving of
sympathy in this country? Why was
that a strong democratic Institution
at Spokane Falls? Do not the Seat
tie, Tacoma and Port Townsend ma
tional banks need as much reward
for holding these government bonds
Does it happen that the Spokane
bank is the only one in the Territory
that has a democrat president?
But. says Secretary Fairchild, I'll
these banks lend money at 5 per cent
they gain $4,000 ON each million. II
| they loan at 6 per cent, then they dc
not make much. II they loan at Z

Treasury Department of the United
Statesl Bah! MIR. CaH, please give
us common sense. Please do not

die as this If this is the only de-
fense possible, what confession oi
incompetency! Can there be found
an honest man in the United States
who will vote to continue such in
| competency in Office?

Who are They?

There may be some men who toll
for their daily bread; whose hands
are hardened with toll, and who have
been doing their best all these years,
who approve of the partiality of
President Cleveland to the great.
rich corporations known as National
banks, to whom he has just made his
magnificent donation of government
money amounting to g 100000 per
annum for two years.
For this they render the govern
ment absolutely no compensation.
If laboring man was on the verge
of starvation the government would
not loan him 2-cent postage stamp.
President Cleveland evidently loves
the great corporations and they love.
him.
This was doubtless q political
trick on his part to secure the favor
of these great monied institutions
and get their help in his re election.
Whether or not these National banks
contribute to the campaign fund of
the Democrat party, would be an in.
teresting question, but does not eff
feet the right or wrong of Mr.. Cleye-
lands action. Do our workingmen
approve this lending of this great
sum of $6O,OOO,OO0 without any in>
terest to these great, rich corpora
tions? If they do, then they had
better emphasize the fact by voting
for e. S. Voorhees, and Chas. Dono-
van If they do not approve this
fraud, then they had better empha-
size their dislike by voting for John
B. Allen and all true republican
nominees in way to rebuke this
favoritism and corruption. Who are
the working men that are going to
vote their approval of this matter?

Approaching Decision.

Ia few days the nation will by
ballot settle the contest as to who
shall be president for the next four
years. There are always principles
involved in an election, and rarely is
a man of more Importance than the
issue. In this case the issue is near
ly everything; the man is secondary.
The issue is between cheap labor and
an impoverished laborer aud the no,
bility of the common people. In
America, where the plebian is the
sovereign, it is all-important that our
labor be dignifed and intelligent.
In order to do this he must have a
good table, some luxuries, some leis-
nre and some surplus. Children must
be in the schools, not .in the facto-
ries. Womanhood must be enshrin-
ed in the home, not in the factory
boarding house Work will not hurt
our working men, nor will good,
moral, healthful work harm our wom-
en-. We do not plead for idleness,
nor for refinement as against toll;
but we do insist that, in order to the
proper exercise of his responsibility
as free man, our laborer must be a
home builder. He must have an in>
telligent grasp of current knowledge
and be able to supply himself with
literature.
In order to do this he must have
pay for his labor over and above the
bare necessities of life. This is what
the Republican party is resolved the
laborer shall have. The tide of i'm
migration coming to these shores
must be stopped, and the product of
this foreign labor must be kept out.
This is the only true policy for the
American people Over against this
is the open port idea of the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Cleveland's mes.
sage was free trade message. One
half of the Democratic papers are
pleading for free trado. The other
half are free traders, too, only they
dare not say SO just now. Every
aVowedly free trade paper in the na-
ton is bowling for Cleveland.
With these facts before them, the
people must choose between the prin-
ciples involved, and the only way to
vote for principle is to vote for the
men that represent that principle.

He Didn't Mean It. You Know

From the London Times, August % and 60, Sc
Nothing that party leaders in the
United States may do on the eve of {
Presidential election ought to excite
astonishment. Mild curiosity j:
rather the attitude Of mind with which
President Cleveland's Retalliatory
Message to Congress upon the re-
lection Of the Fishery treaty a treaty
which had been approved by HIM
self will be received in this coun'
try. Until the Republican party in
the Senate procured the rejection OF
the treaty nothing could be more
powerful than she appeals OF Dsmo-
cratic leaders and journals to seize
the opportunity offered by the
Chamberlain-Ol leveland arrange
msnt of settling q great interna
tional question by amioable compro-
mise. Mr.. Cleveland has un-
doubtedly laid himself open, in his
recent Message, to the criticisms OF
his opponents that, if his present
advice is justified by sound policy,
the previous proceedings of his Gov
ernment must have been the out
come of culpable weakness. .
The reproach of being too friendly
with Great Britain did President
Cleveland a great deal of harm. D..
By bis sudden change of front the
President holds himself out az the
advocate of something hugely sd-
mired by American voters-a spirit
ed foreign policy. 1t is a
mastery move, and the President
may fairly be congratulated upon
his adrOitness."

A Manifest Fraud.

The Cal of last evening publishes
the old horse-chestnut of former
years. 1t runs as follows:
THEY WANT MONEY IMMEDIATELY.
The following circular letter was
received by prominent democrat in
this city, from the Headquarters of
the Republican National Executive
Committee" dated in New York,
Oct. "a, 1888.
The contents of this letter is,
briefly stated. as follows:
Ny DEAR SIR:-We want money
badly, and we want it Immediately.
viii you please see to it that the ac-
companying appeal is sent out at
once? Yours Very Truly.
NJ S. QUAY,
Chairman.
This is manifestly a fraud, but if
it were true letter and all genuine
it certainly is no disgrace.

We can hardly understand how, in

additional has been subscribed to

production Of the lower human order.
His parents We're Irish people, both
of whom drank, and both Of whom
now are dead, through the influence
of drink. Patsy had TO rough it,
even as little boy, and was at times
compelled to steal or starve, for his
parents were too drunken to care for
him, and they lived in little cabin
on the beach, where they had no
neighbors. In fact, they were not
neighborly people.
Patsy developed a genius for wrong
doing. He had no lady's sympathy
and nobody's care. Several efforts
We're made to get him into Sunday
schools, but his mother interfered.
because these Sunday schools We're
not of her creed For a few years
now Patsy has been going from bad
to worse. and Is now a criminal, al
though he is yet boy. Now after
all the schooling in crime which Sc
attic has allowed Patsy, he comes up
in Justice Soderberg's court and is
given his choice-to go into the chain
gang or leave the city. OF course he
left the city, and now he is abroad in
the land to prey upon whatever com
munity he may find himself in. Se>

was graduated in crime, if graduate
he must. What shall be done with

Those calls for money.

The ARGUS did not doubt the recep-
ton Of calls for money by prominent
democrats OF this city-ostensibly
signed by Chairman Quay. We did
and do doubt their genuineness.
That is one way OF fraudulent cleo
that our democratic friends
have practised too often. Every
election for a series of years back
somebody has tried that old dodge
and has sent to democrats pretended
calls from the republican party for
money. OF course it is to lead to the
inference that the republican party
seeks money for corruption.
All genuine calls for republican
money sent to persons in jefferson
county will be signed by the chair
man of the jefferson Co. Central
committee. He knows democrats
from republicans and no democrat
in Washington territory has or will
receive a genuine call for republican
campaign funds

chestnut it viii find it old and
wormy. 1t is the disgrace OF
the democratic party that it resorts
to such expedients.
