The Death Rate From Preventabl
Diseases,

estimates that in the United States
100 600 deaths occur every year from
strictly preventable diseases alone
This is unquesiionably very moderat'
estimate, and, if there are reckoned
also twelve cases of serious illness for

of suffering results from ignorance of
sanitary principles. But how is this
ignorance manifested? Are not our

Organized Labor.

The leaders of the labor organizations of Indiana have almost to man pro- nounced against the Republican ticket. The Labor Signal. the organ of the party in that State says:
 The nomination of MT. HBrrison was . genuine surprise to the organized work ingmen of this State. because their atti- tude toward that gentleman is well under stood, and it does not seem possible that a convention of sane men would invite confidence with . large number of votes in an extremely doubtful state by naming & candidate so objectionable. Mir. liar rison's candidacy for the Senate two years ago aroused opposition among the labor organizations. It was expressed in scores of resolutions adopted by assem- plies and unions. This paper opposed Mir. Harrison's election to the Senate for reasons that would prevent it from SUD- porting him now. His public record. in our judgment. has not been such as to commend him to the favorable considerA- ton of the people this paper represents. We did all within our power to warn the Republicans in time. That they did not think advice from such . quarter worth holding cuts no figure now. but hundreds of letters from representative workingmen in this and other States endorsing the Signals position and breathing intense enimity to Mir. Harrison are convincing proof that our position is correct. at least from the labor standpoint. Organized labor will decide the Presidential contest this year, aud it is almost solidly array ed against Gen Harrison. In our judgment Mir. Harrison's defeat is foregonc con clusion. even if Gov. Porter should lend himself to the commonly talked scheme of running for governor in order to help the Chicago nominee through in Indiana
 A second source of weakness to the Chicago ticket is Levi P. Morton. the Wall street banker It looks as if Sena- tor Ingalls, advice to the Kansas delega- tion had been carried out to the letter. It is principle as strong as written law with Knights of Labor not to aid in the elevation of . national banker to any office. The organization Is opposed to the National banking system, and recog- nizes in 1t the mainspring of all monop- oly. For . great political party to go into Wall street--over which the curses of the farming and producing classes of the nation hover like an angry cloud to select candida. for its national ticket is another thing that astonishes the aver age workingman and causes h.- - won der whether the monopolistic interests of the country have not foreseen the inevi- table conflict and concluded to force the issue without giving labor further oppor- tunity to organize and inform itself.

Turpie on Harrison.

MT. Turpie addressed the Senate on the President tariff message In the course of his speech he said protection was a good servant, but a bad master. Over protection led to overproduction and to consequent stagnation and decay. It could not be shown that any person or corporation who was engaged in good faith in the business of manufacturing would be injured by the reasonable re- duction of duties proposed in the Mills bill or that any empioye would be harmed. The emancipation of labor from the oper- ation of unjust laws, the liberation of agriculture commerce and manufactures from inequitable and impoverishing res trictions. the restoration to the people of their ancient commercial rights and fran chises--It was this that was proposed by the message of the President The con summation of this would not be retarded or prevented by the action of the Chicago convention. The platform and the nom inee of that convention were alike ex. ponents of the views and interests of those privileged castes which had so long under the loud and false clamor of pro- tecting others cared only for themselves, who had learned nothing of popular in. terests except to betray them. The can didate of the Chicago convention was we'll beloved and chosen representative of the rank and lawless growth of incorpor. ated power. The candidate would faith fully befriend. protect and encourage American industries by the highest. most prohibitory, and unnecessary restrictions. and by the permitted immigration of the Chinsmen. Although he was man of no small capacity. of great mental force. he had that which was not often found with such qualities-a harsh intolerance which treated dissent as idiocy. Deeply touched and tinged with the prejudices of an ex' elusive class aristocracy. he belonged to that group of resctionary statesmen ttra- ditional paternists) whom the people have 90 often rejected and whom they would
 reject again.

Tammany and Tarin.

Dee Aofnes Leader.
 The most striking incidents of the Tammany celebration in New York on the Fourth were the. enthusiasm with which the iiame of President Cleseiard was greeted and the fact that the longest talk" was on the tariff and interested the auditors so much that they called for more While nominally the occasion was for the celebration of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. it was spontaneously turned into ratification meeting for Cleveland and tariff reform. Mir. Mills lucid exposition of the meas ure that goes by his name and the man. ner in which 1t was received show that the time has come when tariff discussion has a popular interest. This augurs well for the educational effects of the presi dential canvass Mir. Mills emphasized his statement ot the courese of the Presi' dent by referring to the undoubted fact that if he had chosen to keep still on the subject of tariff revision he would have had triumphal march to victory. but that he chose to make an issue which alone might render his re election doubt full. because he appreciated its importance to the people and was ready to take the consequences himself,
 The letter of President Cleveland to the Tamniany committee. on this occasion. was very characteristic. It was not given over to vague generalities but put the question of the day plainly. Our Gov ernment," he said, belongs to the peo- pie. They have decreed it's purposes. and it is their clear right to demand that its cost shall be limited by frugality and that the burden of expenses shall be care fully limited by it's actual needs. And yet useless and dangerous surplus in the national treasury tells no other tale but extortion on the part of the govern ment and perverslop on the peoples intentions" The President defined the high tariff as "a system which benefits certain classes of our citizens at the ex- pense of every househ older in the land system which breeds discomfort be- cause 1t permits the duplication of wealth without corresponding additional recom- pense to labor. which prevents the op- portunity to work by stitiing production and limiting the area of our markets, and which enhances the cost of living beyond the laborer's hard earned wages" This clear and explicit statement of the Presi- dents views was received by the audience with vigorous and prolonged applause It is the sort of argument that goes to the hearts of the working people. and the more they hear of it the better they like 1t.

The Democratic SItuatlea.

Louisville Courier-JournaL
 Young America cannot fail to sec that the Republican party is one of reaction. It seeks to perpetuate every abuse against which the people have protested. In or der to distract public attention from the record of the Republican Senate Ingalls and Sherman and Foraker appeal to sec tional passions and declare for the over throw of the established State Govern. ment of the South. Going beyond this they offer to buy the support of the Grand Army of the Republic by pensioDs which will make any reduction in taxatse1 i'm possible for years to come. Young men entering on active careers will not ally themselves to the forces of reaction. The political history of the world for the past hundred years has been . record of the trlumphs of liberal principle. for even the leaders of Tories and Conservatives have been forced in order 10 retain the shadow of power 10 advance to the lines beyond which the Liberal leaders have passed. The reform of the tariff is the chief measure now for discussion. but

The Lines Defined.

 The lines are now we'll defined. The Republicans go before the people as ad- vocatcs of prohibitive tariff-a tariff to compel the people to pay whatever home combinations and trusts may demand. The Democrats go before the people as advocates of . tarin looking mainly to revenue, but at the same time protecting home industry to the extent of the differ ence between home labor and foreign labor The people demand nothing more than such protection as the Democrats offer them

The Rite of Memphis, so far as the nineteenth degree, he received in New York in 1864, and the Encamp- ment Order of English Templary in Canada in 1857.

New YORK, Jan. 19.-Money on call was

w. Sterling exchange dull but steady at
mand. 1t became known to-day that the pool
in Reading had at least liquidated during the
past week, and the bears taking advantage of
the removal of the chief support of the
market felt encouraged to hammer the list,
resulting in much more active but de-
cidedly weak market for the day. The ad-
yocatcS OF lower prices also received aid
from the lack of support in many stocks and
the Gould properties especially yielding very
readily to the pressure brought against them
The traders, OF course, were ranged on the
bear side and were active in selling the list
throughout the day. The fiercest attacks
were on Missouri Pacific st. Paul, Reading
and Fort Worth & Denver, and large line
of the first three stocks were sold. The
strength of Reading was remarkable under
the circumstances, and there was a rumor
that new pool had been formed. The mar
ket was, however, as limited in its scope as
at any time during the present depression,
being Tor the most part confine ed to the walls
of the stock exchange, outside interests
doing little or nothing. The announcement
of the final signing of the Oregon Navigation
lease had some influence in checking the de-
cline, its effect being specially noticeable in
Union Pacific, but the selling was quickly
renewed and the improvement amounted to
very little.
THE oPEFING WAS QUIET
but weak and the attacks on Reading and the
Gould stocks soon infused life into the trad
ing. while prices fell away rapidly. Fort
Worth & Denver and Missouri Pacific were
next taken in hand, and though the general
list reacted at intervals the upward move
ments were feeble and gave the market at
times feverish appearance There was a
period of dizziness after ~ o'clock which
lasted until nearly 2 p. NJ, but the attack
was renewed, Reading being again the
special point of attack. This was followed
by partial reaction in the last hour, but the
close was dull and again weak at or near the
