peace monument by the White House

dent escaped seeing il and the crowd as
he was at his country seat. The ball is

immense sensation. Then, i'm imitation
OF the 1910 ball, il was decided 20 roll il,
as that was rolled, through the streets
OF the principal cities as n feature of the
campaign. The ball is a canvas-covered
sphere 42 feet in circumference and IA
feet in height, painted red, white and
blue, in imitation OF the American flag,
the blue fields being at the poles. The
shaft is Of 3-inch gas-pipe, 16 feet long,
leaving n foot projecting from either

the ends of the shafting, and secured TO

encircled by a band, the latter being the
outside Of the rim OF the wheel and is
the only part OF the ball touching the
ground A yoke is run from the ends OF
the shaft and connected in front with
lines by which the ball can readily be
pulled along. There are thirty-eight
ribs in il, and il weighs about l,0OD

free trade bill which he dragged through
Congress last July by AN ominous ma

fornl readers of the Press that there
were some things which Mr.. Mills did
not explain, aud here they are:

Total value of dutiabic mcrchan-
disc which the Mills bill puts

a. sugar. rice, tobacco, liquor,

cd, or, as in the the case Of SUI
gar, left at high rate OF duty. 10000. 900
The heart OF the tariff ......... 5)t0),0c0
The heart OF the tariff consists Of

the wool and the wooden schedules.

The Senate bill is a measure 90 reduce
taxation and the revenue. and IL accom-
plishes this without sweeping attack
upon American industry. Itshows how
the revenues may be reduced all that il
desirable or possible without creating a
deficit; without injuring the employ
ment or business OF the American peo-
pie. The Mills bill Is simply measure

why the Democrats VIII win.

Many ask the question whether the
position of the Democratic party on
tariff reform will help or hurt it in the
battle OF the ballots on November 9Th.
Let us reflect moment;
In 1SS0the Republican managers and
speakers made the issue that the Dem
ocratic party was free trade party.
They fought the campaign upon that
false charge. The Democratic mana
gers, speakers and candidates grew
frightened They did not exhibit the
courage OF their own convictions
They avoided the challenge. They
were beaten.
In 1884 the Republican party again
charged the Democracy with a fond
ness for free trade. The Democrats
denied the accusation, but fairly faced
them with demand for the reduction
Of war taxes. The Democrats won.
Now, the Republicans seek to make
the same old issue. But courage has
come to the Democracy; They have
shown their hand in the Mills bill
They have furnished all details Of an
honest purpose to tighten the burdens
"f the people. They have explained
the merits of their cause.
1t goes without saying that they are
far stronger than they. were in 1884
They meet the same old charge, but
they meet it with the facts before the
people. They have shown the falsity
OF the enemy's accusation and the
honest merit Of their own purpose
They are courageous, aggressive and
united. And with this magnificent
charge they couple the prestige O
honestly, intelligently and economi
cslly administered for the past foui
years.
They win grandly win.-Cincinnat
Enquirer.
