The campaign opened by Cleveland
in December last, nine months ago,
was terribly faulty; first, in the extrav-
agance of the hostility it manifested to
protection as principle, and, second,
in constructing the whole edifice of

platform and all, upon the idea that
there was steady surplus of$113. O0O,-

An exchange says: Corn is not
king. That small white grain known
as rice is the monarch of the foods. 1t
is believed to support a larger number
of the human race than any other
grain" That is one of the reasons, we
suppose that the democrats want to
keep the tariff on it at 1905 per cent.
Another is that it is cultivated or rails

Mr.. Atkinson says if his conclusion is
correct there Is no possible way of materi-
ally increasing wages except by increase
of production. If wages can be increased
only by increase of production then it log
ically follows that decrease of production
will inevitably be attended by a decrease
in wages And this is what the American
people must expect in the event of the
success of the democratic party.-Repu6h-
can.
There is nothing in democratic doctrine
or practice TO warrant such conclusion.
There Is no evidence that even absolute free
trade (Which net fifty men in America be-
lieve possible for the L. s. will decrease
the sum total of production in the United
States one atom. Ga the contrary the
democratic party seek to increase produc-
ton by broadening the American market
They hold that 10y giving the manufacturers
free raw materials it will enable them to
produce for foreign markets, thus opening
the wav to sale of the "overproduction
that all protected manufactures now seek
10 prevent and thus avoid lockOuts, slCh
as the world today witnesses in the Amer
lean heavily protected" iron trade. That
is also Mr.. Edward Atkinson's own idea of
the means to increase production and
therefore wages. As for the bsurd idea
that importation will decrease production,
any we'll read school knows that there can
be no importation without corresponding
expectation, as foreigners do not send goods
except for goods in return, and there must
be production to meet the exchange. Just
now the farmer supplies the export; and
the protected manufacturer" who exports
next to nothing, not content with taxing
the farmer to death in his purchases, now
steps In and seeks to prevent him from
making export sales of his grain In order to
pay his taxes at home!

BLAINE REVOLTS.

The Republican platform Outrages Amer.
lean public sentiment on two important
points: the restriction of the liquor traffic
and the reduction of taxation. There has
not been an important convention of the
party held since its birth at which there
was not an expression in favor of relief of
the taxpayers from all unnecessary burdens
and the laying of all possible imports upon
the Injuries and vices of the community
until the great National Convention of 1888.
That body declared pOintedly against the
reduction of taxation on any article of for
eign import, no matter how unnecessary
and oppressive to the taxpayer, land if
there shall still remain a larger revenue
as of course there must than Is requisite
for the wants Of the Government. we favor
the entire repeal Of the internal taxes on
whisky and tobacco rather than surrender
any part of our protective system"
The viciousness and injustice of such a
policy are too obvious to need argument,
and so thought Mr. Blaine, in his famous
Paris interview attacking the Presidents
message; for in that screed, in response to
the question whether he would repeal the
whisky tax, he said:
No, | would not Other considerations
than those of financial administration are
to be taken into account with regard 10

hope OF thereby securing the vote of the
