EVIDENTLY A MIsTAKE.

We learn from leading article in
the Herald that farms in the Western
country are only mortgaged to a small
percentage of their value, that the rates
of interest paid are much lower than
they were a few years ago, and that the
tendency is toward liquidation of these
debts when they mature. That is, in
stead of plunging deeper and deeper into
debt, the Western farmers are gradually
clearing themselves of Indebtedness of
of all kinds" This information is not
so surprising as the source from which
it comes. Evidently the Herald writer
has made the mistake Of forgetting for
the moment the eXigencies of the free
trade campaign. The Western farmers
prosperous Their farms mortgaged to
only small percentage of their value!
The present tendency toward liquida-
ton of these debts when they mature
The Western farmers, instead of plung-
ing deeper and deeper into debt, grad
ually clearing themselves of indebtness
of all kinds! And is it the Herald which
tells us this? How the heads of the
Herald readers must swim as they re-
member how often and how plaintively
that journal has recounted the woes
under which the farmer groans because
of the tariff. If any item in the free
trade creed is held with firmness and
eXpounded with fluency it is that the
farmer and particularly the Western
farmer is a blighted and ruined being
because of the tariff. He has been
ground under foot, we have been told,
for the advantage of giant monopolies.
He is harried and plundered for the
benefit of "robber barons" and grasping
manufacturers. He is taxed 60 per cent.
upon this, so per cent. upon that and I'd
per cent upon the other, until the won
der is that he does not seek refuge from
the tariff in his grave. His one hope Of
deliverance lies in the adoption OF free
trade; failing in that he must perish, q
victim to "a few favored classes How
familiar all this is. We have heard il
so often from the Herald and other free
trade papers that we could repeat il
backward, or beginning at the middle
and working toward both ends. AnC
now we learn that it is all myth,
roorback, fiction, lie. The West
ern farmer is actually prospering. Tht
burdens on him are light. and he is pay
ing off his debts. We advise the Her
aid readers to cut out this able editoria
from that paper and keep it where /
will be accessible. 1t will be handy t
refer to the next time the Herald get
around upon the other track and utter
its old lamentations over the woes o
the farmers.-[ Boston Journal.

THE REVOLT OF THE WAGE EARN
ERSI

The revolt OF the workingmen against
Cleveland and free trade has begun, and
unless all signs fail the movement IS
certain to attain imposing dimensions.
At the grand council.of the Independent
Labor party, held in Detroit, as was re-
ported in yesterdays Telegram, resolu
tions were adopted declaring that the
party did not approve Of President
Cleveland's veto OF the pension bills and
enjoining on every soldier the necessity
of voting for Harrison.
This is the beginning of movement
that soon will be communicated TO the
voters of Irish birth and descent. Every
day the evidence accumulates that this
class of voters no longer propose to
affiliate with the Democratic party. They
have heard the London Times commend
Grover Cleveland as free trader as
Richard Golden was, and they re-
member that it was the same London
Times which declared that the only ser
vice an Irishman could perform for
England was to emigrate TO the United
States and vote for Democracy and free
trade. That meant that the Democratic
party is the ally of the English FREE
traders.
Now, Irish voters no longer intend t
play into the hands of the party that il
turn carries out the orders OF English
economists. They come over here to es
cape working for English landlords anC
English employers. They get hlghei
wages hese in a month than at hom'
they could obtain in a year. TIT
adoption of free trade policy will brint
the United States in the same trade re-
lation TO England that Ireland nov
holds, and the condition of American
workmen win be no better than,that o
Irish workmen is to-day. ~
These truths will be brought home t
Irish voters before election come
around, and their verdict will go lon
way in influencing Democratic voter
with whom they have associated int

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

The Baltimore Sun tells of a well
known baritone singer in church in
that city who inadvertently placed a slur
on the wrong note. He had adapted the
air of 1.-THE Jewish Maiden" to hymn
beginning Before the Lord we bow"
and instead of placing the slur on the
first two syllables he placed it on the
last one and rendered it thus, Before
the Lord we bow. WOW. wow" The eff
feet was immense AS he had and still
has a powerful and beautiful voice, his
hearers were thoroughly electrified at
this unwonted and unlooked-for canine
imitation. He has never entirely recov-
cred from the effect of his ludicrous
mistake.
The simple truth is that theDemocratic
party is for free trade IN everything
sooner or later. Its ticket IS applauded
by England and the English press.
Every free trade journal in America is
for it. What is the conclusion to be
drawn from this undeniable fact 2
