And Il thus c0ncludcs !:
a PLAIN sTATEMENT.

This is truth; that it is through the
farmer, manufacturer and other employers
of labor that the price of labor must be
determined. If our national or State laws
are Of sGch Il character as to seriously re-
duce and render extremely uncertain the
income from capital invested in the multi
piled industries throughout the United
States, then it will necessarily work a
hardship upon labor also.
Now, if the manufacturer or farmer is
losing money, or not receiving fair re-
turns upon capital invested, he must re-
duee wages.
The effect of the policy of the Demo-
cratic party, shown by the Mills bill and
its passage in the House, will be to in
crease importations- Mr. Mills admits
this-and they will take the place of what
we ought to produce or make.
He is blind indeed who cannot see that
the result would be to throw out of en-
pleyment vast numbers of operatives.
These would flock to the unaffected occu-
patiens, and down would go wages under
the operation of the law of supply and de-
mand- Or they would, as Mr.. George
AYERS, seek employment in agriculture"
and Instead of being consumers, they
would be producers of farm products, which
would inevitably result in over-produc-
ton, glutting both the home and foreign
market with all kinds of grains, bread
stuifs and meats to be disposed of at ruin

General Harrison, in speech to the
Montgomery county delegation, on August
4tb, said:
at is one of the best elements of our
strength as a State that our farm lands are
SO largely possessed in small tracts and are
titled by men who own them. 1t is one of
the best evidences of the prosperity of our
cities that so large proportion of the men
who work are covered by their own roof
trees. If We would perpetuate this condi-
tion we must maintain the American scale
of wages. [Applause.l The policy of the
subdivision of the soil is one that tends to
strengthen our national life God grant that
it may be long before we have in this country
such tenantry that's hopelessly such from
one generation 10 another. TApplause. I

THEN AND NOW.

Mr.. Cleveland declared in 1884 that
there was danger to the liberties of the
people in President running TO succeed
himself, and that Congress ought to pro-
hibit such succession. He gave as reason
the almost irresistible temptation to use,
for selfish ends, the immense patronage
the President has at his command, and to
| thus invite corruption and the prostitution
of the offices Of the Government. Since
the day on which Mr. Cleveland wrote that
letter, which was used in the campaign Of
1884 IN his behalf with such effectiveness,
he has not had one word to say upon the
subject. He never recommended to Con-
gress to pass the suggested bill; he began
within two years to train Federal officials
in the direction of his denomination; to
that end he dropped his pretense about
civil service reform, abjured his solemnly-
/, pledged faith to that reform, became dead
silent about 'pernicious political activity
by officials" and offensive partisanship,' .
divided the spoils among the yictors, and
thus secured for himself the nomination
that he declared SO shortly before no man
ought TO be permitted to occupy. One so
utterly disdainful of his voluntarily as
sumca pledges, so insensible to the re-
proach of his inconsistency, ought to be
taught lesson by the people that will for
ever serve to warn other candidates against
such folly as has characterized Mr. Cleve-
lands Administration.

WORKINGMRE.

Read elsewhere the emphatic denial by
General Harrison Of the infamous lies cir
culated against him concerning his rela-
tions to labor. In this dignifed and crush
ing denial General Harrison has met the
high estimate the people have held of his
character. He had declined, to the very
last, to take up matter purely personal,
trusting to the good sense of Americans
and his own character to reject libcls be-
hind which there is not even the an-
nouncement Of personal responsibility.
But while personal solicitude could not
move him to defend himself, the demands
of his own party and the common claims
of the confidence of his friends exacted
from him, in staple gratitude for their
repose of confidence, that he lay aside
personal modesty and give the lies blow
in the face. He has-done so with crushing
force. His blade kas cleft the wretcbed
libels, and in all the land there dare not
arise man to challenge the Generals
denial.
In Indiana no respectable Democrats re-
peat these ibels-nay, they refuse to
stand by and hear them repeated without
entering their protest. But here in Sac
ramento-away to the west of Indiana by
thousands of miles-men are found so Lost
to sense of decency and manhood as TO
SO about circulating the anonymous stories
and asking men TO believe them. WIZ,
an honest man would not suspect or con-
denim dog upon the assertions put forth
against General Harrison. The man
who receives the dollar-a-day lie and the
labor strike falsenoods against the General.
in the absence Of any proof whatever.
and in the face Of the conclusive and over
whelming testimony that has been given
in refutation, would rob his mothers
grave of its tombstone, and believe an un-
sustained charge against the chastity of
his virgin daughter.

WHY THEY PREFER CLEVELAND.

MIR. Agar, of Ruston & Proctor, Lin
eolshire Eng.s, manufacturing machinists,
has grievance against America While
sending millions of our own produce to
England every year we close our own gates
against her goods. He thinks some means
should be devised to prevent this. Lin
colnshire operatives are fed ON American
flour, but not a single machine can Ruston
& Proctor sell in America because of the
tariff, and because of the excellent in
ventiye genius of American engineers.
The dredges by Ruston & Proctor are built
on the familiar American models, and
known locally as the American devils.''
Of course Mr.. Agar is anxious to elect Mr..
Cleveland. He declares that all free trade
Englishmen look forward to that con-
summation as the fruition of their highest
hopes.

DON'T PAIR.

Republicans, don't pair. Refuse every
offer made to you by Democrats or any
others to refrain from voting, or to vote for
any Of the side-shows. Remember that all
attempts to have you "pair off" are in
tended TO reduce Republican strength and
imperil Republican victory. The Demo-
Gratis are in desperate straits, and will
stand at no sharp practice to ncutralize
your vote. Whenever man offers to pair
with you ask yourself the question, "What
has he to gain and what has my party to
lose by my refraining from doing my duty
as citizen and sovereign, and voicing
my opinion at the polis?"

A SIGNIFICANT FACT

The Democratic party went into power
in 1884 with the cry of Reform on its
Hips, and the promise to "turn the aascals
cut" overhaul the books, and straighten
things up generally. Now, after fouryears
of inquiry, and with the books wide opep.
they find no false entries, no defaleat;aDs.
The-employes they have turned cut were
remesed because they were Republicans IN
seven cases out of ten. The Democrats
found the Postal Department in good
working order, well administered and with
but few @efalcations and crimes related
to it. What has been the result of boupc.
ing out the "rascals2" Why, tie mails
have been robbed oftener aid Of more

LYING CIRCULARS ARRIVE.

The new batch Of lying circulars, of
which the telegraph gave US notice as en-
route, has arrived, and are now widely
scattered. They all contain lies against
General Harrison. Pay no attention to
them; the very fact that they are brought
into the action at the last moment on 1ht
to convince you that they are calumnious.
You love fair play; you despise mean
advantage; you abhor cheating and false
hood. Look at it squarely; is the issuance
of batch of lies against General Harri-
son, even under the cover Of seeming au-
thenticity, at this late hour, when he can
not possibly respond, fair play? Is it the
act of man who respects himself; is it
other than cowardiy and assassin-like.

SIGNIFICANT%,FACT.

In July last Sir (now Lord Lionel Sack
vile West came ont with a public defense
of the Mills bill. At that time the St.
Louis GIobe-Democrat said: "This is the
first instance, we believe, of direct partic-
ipation Of a representative Of a foreign
Government in an American political
campaign; but we presume Sir Lionel
thinks himself justified on the ground
that the measure i'll question is specially
calculated to promote the interests of his
country" Three months later West
wrote his notorious letter to his unknown
Pomona correspondent. When in July
West took part in the politics of the coun-
try Mr.. Cleveland did not pay any atten-
tion TO the impertinence, and the matter
dropped out of sight. This significant fact
unquestienably emboldened the Minister
and led him to say what he did to his Po-
mona correspondent. This was so fragrant
an oflense that even Cleveland, Bayard &
Co. dared not ignore it. Poor West was
doing them i good turn, as he thought,
and he is really entitled to some sympathy
that in the service of the house of his
friends he should have come to grief at
their hands.

WHAT THE Blanket PARTY INTENDS.

If Grover Cleveland is the sincere friend
of the workingman, why did he send to
England for blankets for the American
army to save the beggarly pittance OF
thirty cents pair? Even then he could
not have saved that sum except by passing
the goods in free, as he did do. There is
not on record in the annals of any nation
so contemplate and unworthy bit of
economy as this, and Grover Cleveland
knows it, for by a subsequent order he has
admitted it, and promised to do better. 1t
is a campaign trick, however, and he will
revoke it if elected, for the aim he and his
party have ia view is to break down all
tariff barriers protecting the North and
West, while retaining those that foster the
industries of the South. This is proposed
IN order to meet the demand of the South
ern chiyalry for free trade, low wages and
q mudsill class, to strengthen the Demo-
cratic party, and to correspondingly cripple
the Republican States and the industries
that make them prosperous and contented.

cry. There was deal of pooh pooling

WHY ENGLAND WANTS kE AMER
ICAN MARKET

The Democrats nave a circular out IN
which they pretend to sympathize with
citizens Of English nativity because those
precious rascais," the Republicans, izsult
the English born by calling all English
workers paupers.
Republicans DO nothing Of the kind.
The Democratic circular fatty lies. We
have read in no journal, have heard from
no lips and we examine hundreds OF
political papers weekly, hear many
speakers read reports of nlzny addresses-
word or sentence to Justify the charge.
But Republicans DO say that the con-
dition of the American worker is vastly
better than that of the English worker,
and that it is susceptible of proof that in
America, under a protective tariff, the
laborer is immeasurably better off than
the laborer in free-trSde England
Thus; by the carcass beef per eight
pounds costs so per cert more in England
than it does in America, and mutton over
one-third more. As result the English
worker has meat as q luxury and. Gu widely
separated occasions; the American worker
eats it daily if he chooses.
Up to June 80, 1883, for ten years, 751,
685 persons came to America from Eng
land, Scotland ard Wales, and 628, ,242
from Ireland, and not 600 went back. Do
workmen and worIywomen leave conditions
in England to fy to those less comfortable
and profitable abroad?
England is the highest wage country in
the Old World, yet Carroll D. Wright SAYS
for like occupations and living, wages are
II per cent. higher and living only Is per
cent. higher here than in England The
