What makes Them Ktneea

The CONSERVATION which the free wills.
ky plank in the Chicago platform early
gave rise to in the Republican ranks is
spreading, and the leaders arc looking
eagerly in every direction for some power
to counteract the effect of that fatal dec
laration. The New York Tribune es.
sayed to tighten the load by printing in
terviews with two of the members of the
sub committee which fathered the plat
form, Senators Hiscock and Farwell. The
formers attempt to explain is awkward
and Incomplete, and if it were not ludi-
crous would really be pitiable.
By the way, it Is noticeable that nobody
is being called on to explain, to extenuate,
to defend the st. Louis platform. 1t
stands clear, concise, unassailable. It de-
mands for the people and promises them
cheaper clothes to wear, cheaper homes to
live in, cheaper beds to sleep in, cheaper
tools to work with, and insists that the
taxes necessary to maintain the govern
ment shall be collected from the Iuxuries.
aot the necessities of life It invites the
fullest and freest discussion of the sub
ject, perfectly confident that with accurate
and comprehensive knowledge the Ameri-
can people will decide against the masters
who would reduce them to n slavery
scarcely less degrading and absolute than
that of race scrvitude abolished by the
war.-Louisville Courier-Journai

There is no doubt that southern dele

der. This fact being admitted the qrles
tion remains who made the cash transac-
tions? Nearly all the votes from tho
south wore divided between Sherman and
Alger. a large number of these dele
gates werc originally for Sherman, not
from love, respect or reverence thoy have
for him. but purely from commercial
standpoint. Sher1nan's agents went
through the south previous to the CON
Vcntion when arrangements were made
whereby for consideration Ger
tain specified number of votes should be
delivered to Sherman. The money was
paid over, the votes were delivered on
the first and second ballots, when they
broke away and went to Alger, Gen. Al
ger, Ex-Governor Alger of Michigan,
lumber baron whose bar1 was filed by a
Prolibitory tariff. Alger's acquisition of
strength is directly traceable, as Senator
John Sherman says, to purely financial
Ehd commercial transaction. After buying
these highly moral Republican voters by

was presumed they would consider that

WIN n1afne necnnta

Mr. "Pig Iron" Kelley, of Pennsylva-
MIA, who SO handsomely played into the
hands of Congressman Scott, few days
ago, in the matter of Andrew Carnegie's
81, 100000 income, electrified his Repub-
ican friends in the house by declaring
that Mr.. Blaine could be depended on
to retract The passage in his now notori-
GUS Paris letter against striking the Fed
oral tax off whisky. According to Mr. KeI-
ey Mr.. Blaine was carried away by ''enthu-

ZION and Will, when he returns, gladden.

ready to admit had formed an erroneous
opinion, but now am with you heart and
soul" We do not; of course. believe that
Kelley, who is great deal of windbagi
had any authority for making such q
statement. but it is plain, nevertheless,
that Mr.. Blaine has an exceedingly avE-
ward situation to face. 1t is quite impos=
sible for two declarations to be more an
tagonistic than those of the Republican
platform and Mr.. Blaine's epistIe. Here
is what the platform says:
.'If there shall still remain a larger
revenue than is requisite for the wants of
the government. we faver the entire re-
peal of internal taxes Ethat is, free
whisky rather than the surrender of any
part of our protective system.
Now listen to Blaine:
81 would not advise the repeal, of the
whisky tax. There is moral side to- #.
To cheaper tho price of whisky is to
increase its consumption enormously
There would be no sense in urging the re
form wrought by high license in many
states. if the national government neII-
tralizes the good effect by making whisky
within reach of every one at twenty cents
a gallon. 1t would destroy high license at
once in all the states
There is no way of getting round or
away from this. Mr.. Blaine asserts that
free Federal whisky would destroy high
license at once in all the statesH=tthe

Our neighbor the Times well Saws

Our neighbor the Times well says
of the Republican tariff plank:
"It is assumed that the people
can be scared or humbuggcd into
supporting the policy, not of pro-
lection, but of excessive taxation
from which only a few favored
capitalists derive benefit tits plain
to men of ordinary intelligence that
where there is excessive protection,
not only excluding all foreign com
petition, but confning our own pro-
ductfons from the protected indus
tries to home markets, and where
combinations are formed to- destroy
domestic competition and put up
prices, the excessive profits go en-
tirely into the pockets of the cap
italists. The wages of labor are not
increased by these combfnsttFcnsy but
the high prices add to the cost of
living and lower the purchasing
power OF the wages paid.
This is sound doctrine; and we'll
put as FIR as it goes But 1T fails
far short of describing adequately
the real sftaation by emitting to
cali attention to the fact that the
present Republican proposition is
not to defend protective tarff as it
has heretofore been understood, but
to create instead of it new pro-
hibitory tariff, an impossible Chi
nese wall, such body of legislation
as all Republicans as web as all
Democratic authorities have hereto
fore treated as Impossible in a free
and 7hteiifgent country. 1t IS che
Republicans Who are the revoIu-
tionists and reactionists in this cam
paign. They make the monopoly

A stunning Platform.

The Boston Herald Qnd.l explains to a
contemporary which cannot Understand
why the Germans should object to the
tendency of Republican legislation toward
Prohibition, while at the same time the
Prohibitionists' are repelled by its Ieanings
toward free whisky, that the case is one
of a party trying to sit on two stools, and
falling between them. 1t says: .'Such
instances have happened in politics.
There is long line of precedents for
casualties of this Kind, and it really seems
as if the present year was in good deal
of danger of adding one to tho number.

issues alone, or NEEDLES on only one side
of them, and thus is spared yyondermcnt.

The Wool rarin.

France has a protective" tariff and SO
has Germany. but. neither of them levies
a cent of tax on importations of foreign
wool They know from experience that
both the wool raiser and the wool manu-
facturer are benefited by adimftting the
raw material free. In each of these coun-
tries sheep raising is alucrative industry,
a fact that is complete answer to the ar
gument that to put wool on the free list
would be to lower the price of American
wool Over production prevents our
wool growers from obtaining the rates at
which they formerly sold, and tho tariff
forbids resort to the natural remedy for
over production; the foreign market.-

The Denocratic-cheap Necessaries and

ing the cost of necessaries of life in the

National Platform, 1888.
Our scheme of taxation, by means of
which this needless surplus is taken from
thS people and put into the public treas
ury, consists of tariff or duty levied
upon importations from abroad and in
ternal revenue taxes levied upon the con-
sumption of tobacco and spfrituous and
malt liquors. It must be conceded that
none of the things subjected to internal
revenue taxation are, strictly speaking,
hecessaries; there appears to be. no just
complaint of this taxation by the consum-
ers of these articles. and there seems to
be nothing so well able TO bear the bur.
