DEMOCRATIC "REFoRm."
The Plain Truth About the Mills BiIl and
Its Effects.

Its Effects.
The Democratic papers have kept
very quiet over the exposure b. the
Senate Tariff bill Of the false claims
of the advocates OF the Mills bill They
have stoutly insisted with that PEE
culiar sophistry in which they are so
adept, that the Mills bill made an aver
age reduction Of duties amounting 10
only , per cent, leaving the tariff
standing at IN average 81 y per cent
The majority report Of the Senate
Committee that & AIMED the Senate bill
contains the following. which puts a
different light on the Democratic
claims:
After months spent in violent attack UPON
The protect We system. and when. fortunately.
the people % the country have become thor
ough aroused 70 The impendi z daager, tie
friends Of the House bill suddenly discover
that IL IS not a free trade sssuFc-

The real reduction therefore threat

instead Of per cent. leaving the av-
erage tariff on ali dutiable articles bun
81 per cent. And yet the Democrats
deny that the Mills bin means any at
tack upon protected industries. or i a
long step towards free TRADE. The
Senate report very quickly disposes Of
such dishonest claims. DIS .hoiucs

OUTRAGEOUS IIBELS.
How Briee's Campaign Of Intelligence,
Is Carried On

Is Carried On.
Directors of Mr.. Brice's .CampaigI
of Intelligence" are bent upon a still
hunt, as it were. They do not adyer.
tise themselves a publishers or pur-
veyors of intelligence; they do not
give Intelligence" to the world at
large and challenge criticism. They
disseminate their intelligence secret
ly, rs a thief conveys to his pal intelli
gence of the whereabouts of pro-
Jected robbery, or as 1.-THE fancy con-
vey intelligence" to each other of the
place of meeting of prize-fght, con-
corning which it is not desirable that
the police should know much.
Thus Ed Gould. as disreptuable a
liar as the late DIR. Titus Oates, is con-
veying intelligence that General
Harrison said things that he never did
say and did things that he never did
do in a spirit of hostility TO labor.
And Ed Gould is conveying his lin
telligence' secretly, under the seal and
in character of an officer % the
Knights of Labor, the recipients of
secrecy as TO what passes between
members OF the order concerning the
affairs Of the order. and Ed Gould's
Intelligence is made cOlorably rel
ative To the order. Ii is by accident
that the Chairman of the Republican
National Committee has become pos.
sessed of one of Gould's official"
letters, addressed to members of a
lodge in the State of New York The
letter is an enlargement, with details
of circumstance of the old Gould dol
lar-a-day' lie. 1t is hardly likely
that many knights will be led astray
by Gould, but the infamy of his effort
is not the less deep.
Another secret way of diffus;ug
Democratic intelligence" is by for
warding cunningly edited news slips
to country newspapers of Independent
tendencies. The matter of the slips is
all hostile to Harrison and favorable
TO Cleveland, all contrived to raise
doubts as to the fitness of the Repub-
lican and suggest merit in the Demo-
NAtttAS SahuAudtCi aAA tCuu4uS ~ AuAdlHc
farmers against manufactures, all dis
paraging to protection and favorable
to free trade. These are methods by
which the intelligence" of the farm
ers is to be led to conclude that. no
matter how partisans may rave, the
drift of independent thought is
Democratic All this is very cunning.
But it is to be observed that your very
cunning folk, gamblers, confidence
men and fences generally come 10
grief just when fortune seems in their
grasp. 1t is seldom that trickery over
comes honesty; very seldom when hon
esty is allied to vigilance. And the
Republican party is very vigilant this
year. Chicago Inter ocean.
