NOT UNANIMOUS.

Our report of the Republican Congress
sional Convention of Thursday of last week
was closed with the noon recess. Allega-
ny's courageous little band of delegates
would not yield TO Boss McComas, and
returned home without making his nomina
ton unanimous.
Upon reassemblng Mr.. McComas began
speaking, the burden of which was "Re-
turn me to Congress, want to bring this
bill and that bill out of the hole and have
them passed" This is dodge of Mr.. Nc
Comus in his many campaigns. His hear
ers now think that he means treasury bills
which are comprised in his salary. He told
the negroes again, as he always does, of their
tyrannical treatment twenty five years ago
by their masters. After he had given them
a big dose of it, he suddenly stopped in the
midst of his speech and requested three
cheers for two of his fellow-committeemen
in Congress, that the negroes might swallow
the dose in the meantime. This closed his
strong argument.
Congressman Henderson, of Iowa, and
Hopkins, of Illinois, also addressed the
meeting. Their speeches contained as much
interest for the crowd as the average daily
Congressional reports would. Mr.. Hender-
son told his hearers of President Cleveland S
marriage. The assembly, many of whom
were Democrats, was startled at this fact, so
unusual is it that fact is accompanied with
a Republican speech.

A PARTY OF IGNORANCE.

1t is steadfastly maintained by well think
ing persons that the Republican party of
1888, so far as it accepts the deliverances of
its acknowledged leaders, is party of igno
rance.
1t is the task of ignorance honestly to up
hold the theory that a people can be bene-
fitted by taxation. Nothing but ignorance
can honestly aver that the widow would be
poorer if the government did not take over
eight of her ten pounds of sugar. Nothing
but ignorance can aver that man would
be colder if he did not give the government
two out of the three of his wooden blankets.
Nothing but ignorant men could be de-
ceived when certain member of Congress
held up pair of Iowa blankets and said
that they could not be duplicated in Europe
for the same price. None but men ignorant
of the laws and practices of trade can hon
estly believe that foreign goods with free
trade will come in by the billion unless
American goods go out by the billion, as
none but ignorant men will honestly be-
lieve that Europe will glut our markets.
None but ignorant men will in honor
support protection. All the protectionists
learned in the economies are insincere and
dishonest. Therefore, because the Repub-
lican party elevates protection as an inviola-
Bile theory, outside of questions of revenue,
it is party of ignorance. Learning will
carry all but the rascals outside the pale of
the organization.
On the same reasoning it can be said with
equal force and truth that the Republican
party is party of immortality, because ig-
norance is in itself immoral. To perpetuate
ignorance, the leaders preach falsehood
Falsehood will to-day aid Harrison's elec-
ton, and truth will aid Cleveland's. Let
men put the test for themselves. The taxes
being too great for the prodigalities of four
hundred and one official money spenders,
the system of bounties falls of its own weight.
To keep this oer-ripe fruit, to maintain
these apparent robberies, the Republican
party must become immoral. 1t must tax
the people for surplus and devise new
methods other than the needs of govern
ment to keep the taxes moving, for gorge
of money is as fatal to the rascality as ces.
sation of the unholy levy.
The Republican party stands committed
to these taxes on necessaries. 1t will abolish
taxes on precious things if need be, because
protection is not involved, but to the dogma
that tax is blessing, that an unrewarded |
toll is the greatest joy of the laborer, and |
Al rl,a lot. 4
ceptabe consummation-to these conten-
tions it gives the seal Of the Chicago con-
yention.

The Cecil county (Md) Nesos, which has
heretofore been an independent paper of
Republican proclivities, announces that it
will advocate the reelection of President
Cleveland. "The idea" says the Ne,cs, chad
its origin in the new tariff issue formulated
in the Chicago platform. The Ne,os has al.
ways had the courage of its convictions, and
believing the present position of the Repub-
lican party on tariff revision and the repeal
of the internal revenue laws to be against
the best interests of the people, it could not
honestly remain silent in the contest" The
NesoS adds that it will continue to be earnest
and aggressive in advocacy of the temper
ance cause

A FALSE KEYNOTE.

1t may be assumed from his recent utter
ances that Mr.. Blaine has struck the key
note of the appeal which he is to make In
behalf of his party during the presidential
campaign. The note rings false, and the
advocates of tariff reform will be strangely
blind to their opportunity if they fail to
make the falsity plain to the voter. For
mind you, the average American voter is
too intelligent man to be beguiled by mis-
representation if the truth of the matter is
brought within his ken. Give him chance
to weigh fact against fiction on any issue
where his interests are so gravely affected
that he will take the trouble to bring his
Judgment into play and you can trust him
to detect the fabrication and 10 toss it out Of
the SCALE
Mr.. Blaine hopes to mislead the voter
into the belief that the Mills bill practically
means free trade, and that its passage would
expose this country TO an avalanche OF for
egn manufactures and reduce American
wages to the European level.
There could not be grosser perversion
of the truth. First, the American working
men are not touched in any way by the
Mills bill, except through the benefits which
they would receive as consumers. Secondly,
in some of the most important articles af-
fected by the bill the American manutac-
turer would still be left under the protec-
ton of duties larger than the entire amount
of the wages paid by him. Thirdly, of all
the hundreds of articles on the dutiable list
of the Mills bill, there is not one of which
it can be said that the duty as fixed by the
bill is less than the difference between Eng
fish and American wages on that article.
These facts effectually demolish Blaine's
plea that the Mills bill would lower the
wages of American workingmen to the
European standard.
Right here we ask will any bright trade
union orator espy the truth that it matters
little how high the wages may be if every
cent sticks to the hands of some private
taxer in the rear, who works in harmony
with false system of paternal government
The people ought to lay their own taxes
and put all private takers in Jail. Then the
man who tolls eight, ten and twelve hours a
day all his life would have something saved
at the evening of his life.
Honest government means honest treat
ment by the government. Men were not
born to be taxed. Officers are not elected,
as Blaine and Sherman disingenuously sug
gest, for the sole purpose of inventing new
burdens for the citizens. Every thinking
man ought to debate these ideas with his
neighbor,

The New York World in speaking Of
Senator Hiscock's attempt to explain the
tariff plank of the Republican national plat
form, says:
"Senator Hiscock says that the so-called
free whiskey plank in the Republican plat
form is nothing more than an abstract propo-
sition; it can have no place in practical leg
islation.'
"What is there abstract in this PROPOSE
ton 1--WE favor the entire repeaI of internal
taxes rather than surrender any part OF our
protective system.
"Could there be anything more concrete
and practical than this declaration 1t says
plainly that rather than surrender any part
of AZ per cent. war tariff, more than three
fourths of which is levied and collected up
on the universal necessities of the people,
the Republicans favor the entire repeal OF
internal taxes
"There is surplus revenue of 800, 100000
q year. The Republican alternative is to
spend the surplus or make whiskey free.
They are welcome to either point of that
double barb But there can be no wriggling
off the hook"

An ingenious builder of New York flats
was struck recently by an idea which he
has put into effect with great success in his
latest building He noticed that one Of th e
first things his tenants did when they went
into house was to hang portieres in every
available doorway. He has saved them
some trouble and himself the expense of
doors by putting simple rod for the cur
tain instead of the door in each of his inner
doorways in his latest flats The idea was
novel enough to catch the house hunting
mind, and he gets more rent for the flats
than though they were fitted with doors,
and has no lack of tenants.

President Cleveland's Canadian fisheries

kilograms by business men from all parts OF

to have the message read, but finally it was
read and referred to a committee, which is
now divided upon it by partisanism.
