CLOSE upon the heels of Cleveland
comes Harrison with his letter of accep-
ance. 1t is a very labored paper, and
one that will not add to The Republican
candidate one jot Of reputation either
as fair reasoner or as candid states
man. Indeed, he descends to the clap
trap of his most pin-headed followers in
his declarations and views on the tariff.
What are we to think of the calibre of a
man who will say that the Mills bill is
calculated to give our domestic markets
to foreign manufacturers when the
merest tyro in reasoning knows that
the lowering of the tariff on imported
goods an average of less than seven per
cent. is compensated by the admission
free of the material used by our own
manufacturers to purchase the same
classes of goods? 1t is not more true
that 2 and make than that this re-
duced tariff in foreign manufactures and
the free entry of the raw material used
by our own manufacturers will shut out
foreign-made goods and at the same time
enable our own manufacturers to compete
in the markets of the world where we are
now totally excluded by our absurd
Chinese-wall policy. This is the vein in
which the Republican candidate for the
Presidency accepts his nomination.
Illogical, wrong-headed AID persistent in
false premises and false reasoning, he
will impose on nobody who does moi
want to be imposed upon. He, in.
deed, truly proves himself the friend o.
Great Britain when he insists upon g
policy which will leave Great Britain in
possession of the neutral markets of the
world-markets which will be ours as
well as hers as soon as the Democratic
tariff policy prevails.

A straw.

AT the corner of Sixtieth street and
First avenue on any pleasant evening
may be seen congregation of working
men they are almost all temperate men,
in religion Catholic, and by nationality
Irish. I asked some OF them to night
how they were going to vote; they almost
all told me for Cleveland, and while they
seem not to grasp the subject Of Tariff
Reform, they understood enough of it
to say that by free raw material we could
control the markets of the world and
give more employ to the unemployed.
They also told me that "Patrick Ford
could not fool them as they thoroughly
understood him."
The above is from letter in the New
York Standard. There is no doubt that
there is great deal of truth in the
statements. The people are no. misled
by the false cry of Free Trade. The Re.
publican politician is so 'cute he thinks
no one else knows anything. That is
where he will find his mistake. The
average American voter is not so igno-
rant as some think him.

Let the voters Remember The,


There are two men on the Democratic
county ticket whom the voters of this
county should bear warmly in mind.
These men are T. E. Rowan, candidate
for sheriff, and Mr.. Venable, candidate
for supervisor. Last year these gentle.
men, who are members OF the Board of
Supervisors, left their own business and
went to Sacramento, where they spent
many days in strenuous fight on behalf
of our taxpayers. 1t was through the
wise efforts of these men that tie assess
ment roll was cut down $40, 900, and
the taxpayers of Los Angeles county
saved 100000 in taxes. This duty to
their constituents so splendidly performed
proves beyond doubt the sort OF men
the Messrs. Rowan and Venable are.
Let our voters show their appreciation
of these services when they come to
vote for county officers next November.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
ST. PAUL, September 1.-THE Pioneer
Press account of the frightful accident
this morning at Wicks tunnel on the
Montana Central road, twenty miles from
Helena, says: About 6 o'clock this morn
ing the night shift were engaged in put
ting in their last charge. There were
about thirty or forty men at the south
heading and twenty-five in the north.
Charges of giant powder had
been put in the north headings,
and it was calculated to set
them both off at once. The men in
the south end were just leaving the head
ing to get in safe place when fearful
explosion shook the mountain, over
whelmed the wcrkmen, blew some of
them to atoms and buried others under
rocks and earth. Those who were in the
lead on the way out escaped unhurt, but
the rear of the crowd caught the full
force of the explosion. Several were
killed outright and number of others
severely wounded. The survivors escaped
to the outer air and gave the alarm,
when the work of rescue was begun. The
bodies were removed and laid out along
the track at the mouth of the tunnel,
where they presented a ghastly spectacle.
Six wounded men were also taken from
the debris, only one OF whom is seriously
hurt. They were brought into Helena
this afternoon for medical treatment.
The names of the killed are !:
James Mullens, Hans Peterson, Mike
Welsh, David Walker, Thos. Pierson,
VIM. Vale, Frank Anderson, John Sand
berg, Geo. Irving and one unknown. Ir-
ving's head was completely severed from
the body. The others were horribly mu-
tilated. The cause was the exploding of
signal cap in the north heading, which
touched off the powder in long hole
charged from the south heading. The
dead bodies were brought to Helena for
interment.

That does not cut any figure in the pres
ent campaign. The whole issue in the
tariff question as it appears in this dis
cussion, is whether the Government is to
levy $780, 100000 Of taxes per annum
beyond its legitimate needs. But the logic
is false. Germany is protected country !;
Russia is a still more highly protected
country, and China is the most highly
protected country in the world. Why
does not the tide of immigration set that
way? Mexico is more highly protected
than the United States. Why do not all
our idle laborers go to the sister Re-
public? Because, in spite of its protec-
ton, labor is paid only 25 cents day.

PoLITIcAL economy, as taught in the
Republican schools, asserts that high
import taxes raises the price of labor, but
makes cheaper the cost of goods. This
is hard to believe. But granting for the
sake of argument that it is true, will
some one tell us why then such men as
Mr.. Carnegie are almost all protection
lists? Is it that they may pay more for
the labor they hire, and get less for the
goods they manufacture? Besides, if the
import tax cheapens the cost of manu-
factures, why all this objection to cutting
down the tax?

by a group of boys playing in the street
near his residence and fred a pistol
shot into the group, the ball taking effect
in the boys head. The Judge in pro-
nouncing the sentence said the jury could
not have found Alegner guilty of less
than murder had he been a younger
man, but in consideration of the pris-
oner's age, eighty-four years, and his
feeble condition, the sentence was made
lighter than he deserved.
