Tariff Reform-Current Comment.
THE MAN OF MANY WORDS 1t Is re-
ported that on Saturday President Cieye-
land caught forty bluefish. But his
industry Is small by comparison with
that of his distinguished opponent, Mr..
Harrison. who, according 10 the vera
cious New York sun, has made seventy
three speeches since his nomination.
After the bluefish have been eaten mp
there ia an end of them but IL Is written,
"Wboso keepeth his mouth and his
tongue kcepeth his soul from troubles. -

Easy TO WIN ON PAPER.-The campaign
has reached the stage at which the Re
nublcans carry the two Virginiss, Ten
nessce, and Kentucky. They do this every
four wears In Jaly anil lose them in No
vcmber --SdR Frdncisco 1ta
Born SIDES. We propose
| 10 revise the tariff, reduce the taxes on
the necessaries of life, and make wool,
salt and lumber free.
Republicans We favor the entire re-
peal OF the internal revenue laws rather
than surrender any part of our proiec-
tive system.-C0urier Journal.
EVOLUTION OF THE NEGRO Such a
thing az a negro Democratic club was
unknown in the North a few years ago,
hut education has taught the race to
think and act for themselves, and Tue
result Is they are breaking away from the
Republican party because its leaders have
merely used them fer their votes.--Cter'.

HIS REAL NAME.-"Inquirer No,
YOU are mistaken. The Republican can
didate for Vice President is not named
Levi Parsimony Morton, but Levi Par.
sons Morton.-N y STIR.
THAT CHINESE WALL Republi
eau policy of building Chinese wall
with a door at Castle Garden and another
at Golden Gate cannot last much longer.
The wall must come down or the doors
be shut Washington Post.
ENGLAND y FAX Or L Akllf hFfOhM'
Seven wears ago Gladstone made speech
in which he said to Parliament Il will
say this, that as long as America adheres
TO the ultra protective system your com
merical supremacy is secure. Nothing in
the world can wrest it from you while
America continues to fctter her own
strong hands and arms, and with these
fettered arms it completes with you who
are free, in neutral markets. Os'ee9o

ALREADY TALKING CHINEE.-" 1t We
can punk it down the throats Of the
workingmen that free trade means less
work and less wages, we will bury this
man Cleveland is the way Warner Mill
er put the Republican plan of campaign
in conversation with Mr.. Robert Gray OF
Rhinebeck, as explained by that gentle
man in TO DAYS Star. Punk Is Chi
nese for push" or shove" and it
seems that advocates Of the Chinese labor
candidate naturally fall into the use of
Chinese modes OF expression.-N \
Star.
RESTRICTION NEEDED. - Just and
proper restrictions upon immigration are
needed, unquestionably, but the soons of
| the Legislature and of the stump should
take care how they handle the question.

HARRISON AS A MAN OF WORDS
The effort to close General Harrlso n 5
gentle mouth is evidence that Quay at
leas. has not forgotten that Harrison is
the candidate. The organs generally
seem to be under the impression that
Blaine is the man, except few OF them
that are still running Harrison's grand
fa,her.-PhR. Times
A $2S,000,000 BALANCE AGAINST Us
With the exception OF the Chicago 1T
6une, the Republican journals have very
generally, il not wholly, ignored the
startling fact that our diminishing manu-.
featured products because of high taxes
upon raw materials have finally closed
the fiscal year with debt to Europe OF
$2S, 00O,000 even under the highest taxes
ever known in peace; but the business
men and the unemployed and Overtaxed
labor of the country will note and under
, stand it, 1t means that foreign mills and la
Dor are supplying our home markets with
goods which home mills and labor should
and that we are taxing consumers exlor
tionately, avowcdly for the protection Of
labor, and then compelling our labor tC
wear foreign goods. Free raw materials
for our manufacturers would at once
revive our industries and change til,
, balance of trade in our favor, and fire,
raw materials will come whenever Labor
decides TO think and vote for labor
