Foraker's Folly.

In an article in the American Ma
gazine Gov. Foraker amplifies Gen.
Harrison's postulate that competition
is impossible with unequal wages, for
"the man who commands the cheaper
wages will drive the other from the
m arket."
We have already shown that wool
en-mill operatives receive 66 per cent.
more in Delaware than in Michigan,
67 per cent. more in Illinois than 10
Indiana, and 3S per cent, more in Con-
necticut than in Rhode Island. This
difference is found in wages in all in
dustries in different parts of the I'm
ion. And yet the mills that pay the high
est wages often make the most mon ey.
Gov. Foraker also repeats the fami
liar fact that wages in England are
''less by from 25 to so per cent. than
here" Secretary Blaine said in his
consular report that undoubtedly the
inequalities in the wages of English
aud American operatives are more
than equalized by the greater efiicien.
cy of the latter and their longer hours
of labor"
The Ohio sheep defender says "We
do not believe in going TO Australia or
South america for our WOOL" But we
do import over half the wool used in
this country, and without foreign fibre
half our mills would close.
The Governor has the effrontery to
tell farmers that the tariff has given
them "a better price for their lands
and their crops and ''less cost for
practically all they may have occasion
to buy" The farmers don't need fig
ures to prove the falsity Of this. Mesi
pork was worth at the highest poin,
Sl8.l2 in 1859 under q low tariff and
1880 in 1886. Wheat was worth 81.
65 in 1859 and 95t cents in 1886
wool As cents in 1889 and "a cents il
1886. And the cost OF the dutiabl'
articles that the farmer buys is enhan
ced $47 on every 800 by the tariff.
Gov. Foraker claims that, as a re
, suit of Protection, "'instead of onl,
exporting raw cotton, grain, livestock
, and such commodities, we are sending
abroad our manufactured products.
In 1859 the percentage Of agriculture
: exports TO our total exports was 1896
; In 1887, after twenty y-six years of tn
: high tariff to encourage manufac
lures" the percentage was 74.40.
: 1t would be prudent in the fiery an,
!. frothy Foraker to confne his plati
: tudes to the stump. In cold print the,

his cause World

"The good old ways are mot
good enough for us.
Our fathers walked to wisdom
in them, and we by following
meekly where they trod may
stumble where they fell"
This is not exactly as John G.
Holland puts it but it suits our
purpose. Take a look at our
window full of states and tablets
and you will see that "the good
old ways" are not good enough
for this progressive age. This
will put you to thinking about
your own school days, and what
the boys and girls viii need foi
their school work. Then come
in and see that we have antici-
pated your wants and are ready
to supply you with everything
they will need in school work,
that goes to make the road tc
learning a pleasant one

One of the most absurd lies that has
been told during the campaign is the
one that Cleveland notified the British
government that he didn't mean any
thing by his retaliation message on the
fisheries question. A Washington cor.
respondent is the author of the report
and his lie pleased him SO well that he
still sticks to it. Nobody is deceived
bv such stuff.

The following is the Presidents let
ter of acceptance:
WASHINGTON, September 8, 1888.
HoN. PPTRIcK A. COLLINS and 9th
ers, comT'ttee, ETC.:
GENTLEMEN: In addressing to you
my formal acceptance of the nomina-
ntion to the Presidency of the United
States, my thoughts persistently dwell
upon the impressive relation OF snch
action to the American people, whose
confidence is thus invited, and to the
political party 20 which belong, just
entering upon contest for continued
supremacy.
The world does not afford specta-
Gle more sublime than is furnished
when millions of free and intelligent
American citizens select their Chief
Magistrate aud bid one of their num-
ber to find the highest earthly honor
and the full measure of public duty in
ready submission to their will.
II follows that candidate tor this
high Office can never forget that WHEN
the turmoil and the strife which attend
the selection of its incumbent shall be
heard no more, there must be in the
quiet calm which follows complete
and solemn self-consecration by the
peoples chosen President of every
fac0lty and endcavor to the service OF
a cen6ding and generous nation oi
freemen.
These thoughts are intensified by
the light of my experience in the Pres
idential Office which has soberly i'm.
pressed me with the severe responsible
tiles which it imposes, wh,le it ha;
quickened my love for American in
stitutions and taught me the priceless
value of the trusts of my countrymen
THE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS.
II is Of the highest Importance tha
those who administer our government
should jealously project and maintain
the rights of American citizens a
home and abroad, and SHOULD strive u
achieve for our country her prope
place among the nations of the earth
but there is no people whose home in
terests are so great, and whose numer
Gus objects of domestic concern deserv,

Among these are the regulation o
a sound financial system suited TO gu
needs, thus securing an efficient agen
cy of national wealth and genera
prosperity; the construction and equip
ment of means of defense, to insur
our national safety and maintain tn
honor beneath which such national safe
ty reposes; the protection of our ma
tional domain, still stretching beyon,
the needs of a centurys expansion
and its preservation for the settler an,
the pioneer of our marvellous growtl
sensible recognition of the value o
american labor, leading to the scrupu
lous care and just appreciation OF tn
interests of our workingmen; the limi

which the people may rightfull

The election in Maine on Monday
resulted in a republican majority oi
about 10000. Four years ago it was
1919. The republicans are doing q
great amount of growing over the re-
suit. 1t pleases them to be able tc
hold their own in Blaine's state

By vote of ia to 4 the House
passed the retaliation bill as asked for
by the President. This is magnif-
cent indorse ment, but the republicans
are entitled to no credit for it. They
were for the bill because they saw no
other way out of the hole into which the
President had pct their brethren OF the
senate by his fisheries message.

HATTERS LIKE THE SENATE BILL.

NEw-JERsEY woRKMEN THINK IT WILL GIVE
THEM WORK FOR THE; WHOLE YEAR.
The 1000 hatters of Essex County, n. j. are
stirred ND over the duty on hats, which has been In
creased in the Senate substitution bill from 80 per
cent 10 so per cent, ad valorem, to include both
finished and unfinished hats. This stops all under
valuations One-thrd of the hats worn in this coun-
try are imported. As the matters have work only
eight months in the year and are idle one-third OF
tho year, they naturally reason that with higher
duty 10 stop mporatons the onethird Of the product
now made abroad will give them four months moro
of work This would amount to 100000 dozen hats
When the Mills bill pending petition signed by
$500 hattes of New-JelSey and Connecticut was
given to Congressman Lehlbach, of the With New
Jersey District. He asked Mr.. Mills TO give hear
inc 10 delegation Of the haters and was CURLY re-
fused He then asked to be permitted to represent
these hattcrs and met another refusal
Mr. Lehlbach tnen went TO the Senate Finance
Committee and procured hearing for the hattcrs, the
result of which was the increase asked In the duty
The Senate bill made public on Thursday.
That night Democratic speakers in orange Val
lev largo hating centre, impudently asserted that
there was no increase in the duty In the senate Dill
which made no mention Of hats. The fasehcod was
promn;lv nailed. and the hatters still in
dIgnant over the attempted deception seveneighths
OF these mon are Democrats but the prospect OF
better work and wages Is rapidly converting them.
In Orange Valley for example, there were not enough

So 100000 IN products $4,000 hands, and $1,000
