DEMOCRATIC newspapers are comfort
ing themselves by dwelling upon the al
legged popular vote, claiming, and we
presume correctly, that according to the
figures on the face of the returns Cleve-
land has the popular majority. This
popular majority, however, is not one
that is impressive. The people do not
take it into serious account, and the
reason for this is that the great alleged
majorities declared for Cleveland are in
those States where there is no debate of
public questions, and the Democratic
party is in such possession of the elee-
tive machinery that they could make
sure of whatever figures they pleased
In considering the vote of the 9th of
November we have to take into consid-
Grafton that there were States that were
free in the broad and true sense of the
term, and States that were not free ac-
cording to reasonable Interpretation of
the expression. Harrison's popular ma
jority in the States that he carried was
476,000-the greatest popular strength
ever shown a candidate for the Presi-
dency in the States where votes are cast
freely and counted fairly. Cleveland's
majority was made up from 10000 in
Texas, $4,000 in South Cardinals motor
iously Republican State, if the vote
could be cast and counted according to
the Constitution of the United States)
$4,000, in Mississippi, (Which is the same
manner of State that South Carolina is),
$4,000 in Georgia and $4,000 in Ala
bama. These are majorities that are as
lacking in moral grandeur as in political
efficacy. The most significant Southern
votes are that Cleveland carried Old
Virginia by but 1,500, and West Virgin
ia by 1000, results showing that the Sol
id South is invaded by the intelligence
and patriotism, business capacity and
sense of fair play of the Nation at large,
and that the sectional consolidation is
broken. Cincinnati Commercial Ga

The wages paid in Massachusetts
were, then, 103 per cent. greater than in
England in 1874. Suppose they have
declined 10 per cent. in Massachusetts,
and advanced per cent. in England,
then the figures, readjusted and made to
square to the showing by Mr.. Wells, will
stand to-day as follows:

LEONARD R.MURRAY,a "a crockery deal
er of Watertown, n. Y, says: 81 COM
menced the crockery business in 1858.
The tariff on crockery was IS per cent.
Manufacturers in this country had just
commenced and were barely struggling
for existence. Now most of my pur-
chaSes are of home manufacture. Ny
foreign purchases are of the fine, clear
French china, which is not yet exten-
sively made in this country. In 1861
the tariff was raised to so per cent.
Since then our manufacture of crockery
has had boom, with sharp competition.
l now sell home made crockery for one
third less than the price under the low
tariff The effect of our extensive man
ufacturing here has been to reduce also
the price of the foreign article, which 1
now buy II per cent. lower than paid
under the low tariff. Should the duty
be removed l have no doubt the foreign
article would drive our home article out
of the market and for awhile we would
sell the product of cheap foreign labor
at price at which our well paid labor
could not live. But when our factories
were silenced and our market was under
foreign control, prices would go up
higher than now, with an eye to again
dropping below us whenever we under
took to revive the home industry on our
present basis of labor.

The Philadelphia North american
gives this interesting tariff talk, show
ing one of the more recent of the free
trade percentage tricks:
The doctrinaire manages to prove a
great many things to the satisfaction of
himself and friends. He does it by per-
centages. Thus Mr.. D. A. Wells is said
to have proved, ''from Massachusetts
figures" that while wages have declined
in that State 10 per cent. since 1873
they in the same time advanced per
cent. in England. This goes to the pub
lie as proof that wages advanced in free
trade England while they declined in
protected Massachusetts. And this fair
ly measures the shadows of such argu-
ments.
For, upon taking the average of wages
paid three classes of skilled laborers in
England in 1884 and the average of
wages paid the same classes in Massa-
chusetts during the same years, we find
the figures to be as follows:
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-12-13

The intention was to convey the i'm
preston that, while wages declined in
this country under protective duties,
they advanced under the free trade pol
icy of England. The foregoing COM
parative tables show that, at the same
ratio of increase and decrease annually,
it would require some years to put wages
on an equality in the two countries.
But, of course, wages will not advance
per cent. in England, nor will they de-
cline 10 per cent. in this country annu-
ally.

The Old Story.

Ile Oiu SE3f..
NY mate to school was Jeanne,
And later views of bless,
Kept my mind then ever dreamy,
And thoughts troubled more or less.
But in early days told her
The tale my father had,
When launched in life with mother,
Their young hearts warm and glad.
The story, old as nature,
Was listened to with glee,
And gladdened every <eature,
Because it came froE me.
Our nest we fondly feathered,
By prudence, care, and toll,
And felt thankful when it weathered
The storms of life SO well.
Loves pledgelings gathered UNDER
Her wings so kindly spread,
And made us often wonder,
How quick our life had sped.
For now our hair is spIinkled
WitHsoft falling flakes of snow,
9ffr once SInOOlu DlOao aiC
And our steps a leetle slow.
And the young ones now about us,
With mirth and gleeful song,
As grandpa and grandma greet us,
Like we did when we were young.
Our spirits often tell US
Old age is far away,
It'll a sudden twlnge of rhem atiZ
Warns of natures sure decay.
Sore trials of life we've had TO meet,
Even losses once deemed uncommon
But hand i'm hand were bravery met,
And then found only human.
Our heartfelt thanks we give to Him,
Through life, and in death the sum,
And pray with Dickens guileless Iim'
"May God bless us every one."

Alliance of Oolored Farmers.

Mr.. Editor please allow me space
ia your valuable columns for the
colored, Our County Alliance met
July 9TH. The house was called to
order with small delegation, but
steadily increased with earnest, reli-
liable thinking farmers of our race.
The object of the meeting was sta
tex by the Supt. j. W. Brown and
encouraging lectures were delivered
by few of the brethren on our
present condition and the best rem
edy. 1t was concluded that it was
best to organize ourselves IN the
county, in which we are glad to say
we are making a respectable prog
ress. The intentions of the colored
alliance is to do for themselves what
the white alliances are doing for
themselves. The social features of
the farmers alliance alone would be
valuable to farmers. 1t is the best
means that has yet been devised to
promote social relations among
them, and its social relations rem
der success. If the founder Of this
noble order had no other object in
view but to elevate the farmer to
higher degree, then his labor has
not been in vain. 1t is believed
that majority of the colored farm
ers are well enough informed on
these objects to avail themselves of
the benefits to be had. They seem
to think that a great calamity is
coming upon them. Fear is what
we need. Now if our fears and eff
forts were equal, then we will sur
pass our danger

for the dear old CITIZEN whose col.

great bosom prepared by the Rulers

from it all that conduce to health,
