What Makes Them XYincc2

The CONSERVATION which the free whis.
ky plank in the Chicago platform early
gave rise to in the Republican ranks is
spreading, and the leaders are looking
eagerly in every direction for some power
to counteract the effect of that fatal dec
laration. The New York Tribune os-
sayed to tighten the load by printing in
terviews with two of the members OF tho
subcommittee 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 1t de-
mands for the people and promises them
cheaper clothes to wear, cheaper homes to
1.-Two in, cheaper beds to sleep in. cheaper
tools to work with, and insists that the
taxes necessary to maintain the govern
mcnt shall be collected from the luxuries,
not the necessities of life. 1t invites tho
fullest and frcest 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 slavery
scarcely less degrading and absolute than
that of race servitude abolished by tho
war.-Louisville Courier Journal

Sensible Greenbackers.

The fusion of the so called Greenback-
ers with the Democracy in Michigan is in
the line of common sense, and should pro-
duce good results. There is no reason
why the Greenbackers should act inde-
pendently anywhere any longer. The
question on which they cut loose in for
mer years from both the two older parties
is an obsolete one now, and as they be-
lieve with the Democracy that the war
taxes should be reduced, and the monop-
olies which the war taxes foster checked,
their proper place is in the Democratic
ranks, and there the majority of them
will undoubtedly be found, not in Michi-
gan alone, but in every other state. Their
pot idea that the national debt should be
paid in greenbacks was settled adversely
to them so long ago that people in this
part of the country at least have well
nigh forgotten that it ever existed. 1t is
Quixotic to continue fighting for cause
that is manifestly dead. The part Of wis,
dom is to turn to living issues, and
make ones influence felt in them

VIII Bloine Recant?

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 s
81 100000 income, electrified his Repub-
lican friends in the house by declaring
that Mr.. Blaine could bo depended on
to retract the passage in his now notori-
GUS Paris letter against striking the Fed
eral tax off whisky. According to Mr.. Kel-
ley Mr. Blaine was carried away by ''enthu-
siasm" when he wrote the letter in ques-
tion and will, when he returns, gladden.
the heart of the party by saying: Il am
ready to admit had formed an erroneous
opinion, but now 1 am with you heart and
soul" We do not, of course, believe that
Kelley, who is great deal of windbag,
had any authority for making such q
statement, but it is plain, nevertheless,
that Mr. Blaine has an exceedingly awk-
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 epistle. Here
is what tho platform says:
eff there shall still remain larger
revenue than is requisite for the wants of
the government, we faver the entire re-
peal of internal taxes THAT is, free
whisky rather than the surrender of any
part of our protective system.
Now listen to Blaine
II would not advise the repeal of the
whisky tax. There is moral side to it.
To cheaper tho price of whisky is to
increase it's consumption enormously
There would be no sense in urging the re-
form wrought by high license in many
states, if the national government neu-
tralizes the good effect by making whisky
within reach of every one at twenty cents
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 states"-(the
Republicans are in favor of high license)
and the platform declares in favor of
free whisky.
Kelley is entitled to a vote of thanks
from the Democrats for his success in
emphasizing this point. Brooklyn Citi-

The New York Tribune on Seth Low.

The full text of The New York Trib-
une's recantation is worth reproducing:
'It was mistake, we are convinced on
second thought, to resort, even for sin
gle time, to Democratic epithets, in order
to convey to Mr.. Lows mind q clear
idea of what his new allies thought Of
him. In thus describing him in their
most contemptuous phrase, as a Sunday
school politician" we did injustice un-
Willingly to q class of Christian workers
who have sound, wholesome and efficient
consciences."
Now it is well known that "Sun-
day school politician" as contemptu-
Gus epithet, is entirely and wholly Re-
publican in its origin and application
The political historians declare that it
was invented by John F. Smith to de-
scribe the Republicans who revolted
against the fraudulent nomination of Fol-
ger. A Republican is Sunday school
politician" in the eyes of other Republi-
cans when he has conscience of his own
and, like Mr.. George William Curtis,
wears his sovereignty under his hat'"--

The Logic of Another Fact Arrayed
On the Side ofthe Mills Bill.
Providence Journal, Republican,
The shut down Of the Bigelow car
pet mills at Worcester of an inde6-
mite period is another one Of those
evidences of business discouragement
that cannot be ascribed to tariff agita-
ton nor to the awful prospect that the
Mills bill may some time become a
law. On the contrary, if the Mills
bill should become law next month
these carpet mills would at once start
up again; if the bill was already a law
they would not have stopped. For
there is only one reason why Ameri-
can carpet weavers are not having
more work than they can do; and that
is the lack of cheap raw material. By
the aid of our highly perfected mashin-
cry we can, so far as the labor cost is
concerned, manufacture carpets cheap
er than any nation on the face of the
earth. But, unfortunately, none OF the
particular kind of wool needed for
this textile work can be raised in this
country; it must all come from
abroad, and it is the import tax on it
that makes the manufacture of Ameri-
can carpets unnecessarily costly, mar
nows the market for them and COM
pels mills to suspend business. With
free wool along our other advantages,
we could make the cheapest grades of
carpets for all the world. We could
furnish employment to thousands more
workmer, we could add millions to :
the national wealth and we should hear
no more of carpet mills suspending.
We are simply depriving ourselves Of
these advantages by continuing the
tax on carpet wool, and we are con-
tinuing 1t for the benefit of home in.
dustry that does not exist, since not
an ounce of carpet wool is grown in

A Shutting Platform.

The Boston Herald Qnd.) explains to a
contemporary which cannot understand
why the Germans should object to tbs
tendency of Republican legislation toward
Prohibition, while at the same time, the
Prohibitionists are repelled by it's leanings
toward free whisky, that the case is one
of 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 1t really seems
as if the present year was in good deal
of danger of adding one to the number.
Tho shrewder politician leaves these side
issues alone, or NEEDLES on only one side
of them, and thus is spared wonderment.
There is very apt to be dynamite in
them"

An eastern manufacturer of wooler

An eastern manufacturer of wooden
goods says:
1T is singular that the people allow
themselves to become befuddled on
this wool question. Free wool cannot
reduce the price of American wool,
because the imported goods do not
enter into competition with the
domestic product. Every candid
manufacturer of woolens will tell you
that in most of our mills there must
be an admlxture, that is, in order to
secure the best results we need both
foreign and home woos Now, if we
could obtain foreign wool without
paying duty we could sell our wares
in foreign markets at prices which
would enable US to double our sales.
And don't you see that as we must
have home wool to mix with the
foreign fleece, the demand for Ameri-
can woods would increase. This in
crease would stimulate the industry
here at home and prices would advance
instead Of increase. This is the logic
of the wool question, and when any
body says differently. he is either ig-
norant or purposely deceives in the
interest of politics. If everybody
would understand that both domestic
and foreign wools must be used in
manufacture they would realize how
important it is to encourage the traffic
in both
The shutting down of the woolen
mills in North Andover, Mass, accord.
ing to the Providence Journal, is not
an event that will be exploited as
evidence that the prospect of lower
duties is a death blow to business
enterprise. The mills close because
the high price of wool and the narrow
range of selection caused by the tariff
make their business a losing one
Hundreds of other woolen mills are in
almost as bad condition, and are con-
tinuing operations only in hope that
the onerous wool duties will be re-
moved before the choice is between
bankruptcy and cessation.

The Democratic-Cheap Necessaries and
Taxed Whisky.

'In the interests of American labor,
which should in no event be neglected,
the revision of our tax laws contemplated
by the Democratic party should promote
the advantage of such labor by cheapen-
ing the cost of necessaries of life in the
home of every workingman, and at the
same time securing to him steady and re-
munerative employment. = Democratic
National Platform, 1883.
"Our scheme of taxation, by means of
which this needless surplus is taken from
the 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 spirituous and
malt liquors. 1t must be conceded that
mono of the things subjected to internal
revenue taxation are, strictly speaking,
necessaries; 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-
den without hardship to any portion of
the people. President Cleveland's Tariff

everything with confidence. and en-
deavor to show that Harrison will
carry Indiana. However, the Chicago
Times has corps of correspondents in
that State looking over the situation,
and SO far as they have yet gone, they
find Republican disaffection, and give

broad is the current of opposition to
Harrison's candidacy in his own State.

The more the intelligent American
citizen studies the statistics of our last
fiscal year, ending the 30th of June,
1888, the more he learns. We sent
abroad that year less than 64,0OO,000
bushels of wheat. In the year ending
June 80, 1887, we sent abroad nearly
1O2, 900, 900 of bushels. In 1883 we ex-
ported 1886, 900 bushels, and in 1881
the magnificent total of 15O,565, 900
bushels. And so in seven years, through
the foolish effort of the Republican
managers to build a Chinese wall around
this country, our farmers have lost over
go per cent. of their foreign sales for
their great product.
