GENERAL HARRISON AT HOME.

Geo. w. Long, a prominent citizen Of
Fort Wayne, Ind, is at the Coates
house. In speaking of the campaign
in that state he said to an Erening Nesos
representative: Harrison cannot car
ry Indiana. 1t is we'll known fact in
our state that he is the most unpopular
man who has ever come up for popular
suffrage there; he is more unpopular
man than was Bill English. Talk about
state pride helping him! State pride
has nothing to do with it. 1t will no
more help Harrison to carry Indiana
than it did Cleveland to sweep New
York in 'S4. Harrison is John G. News
especial pet, and the Indianapolis Jour-
nal is misrepresenting everything in his
favor. When you read the accounts of
the large number of visitors who have
called upon him you can take them
with great deal of allowance. A
crowd of paltry two hundred is swelled
? by his managers into a mammoth dele
cation Of thousands. There is abso-
lutely no such enthusiasm for Harri-
son in his own state as would impel
large crowds to visit him to offer him
congratulations. He is cold-blooded,
selfish and egotistical, and not at all
the man who would arouse enthusiasm
among those who meet him."-Kansas

VERSATILE JIM.

Bl aine has not yet said what he
thou ght about the free whisky plank
in tt republican platform. But here
is W hat he said on the subject of free
whisky, last December:
"Other considerations than those of
financial administration are to be taken
into account with regard to whisky.
There is moral side to it. To cheaper
the price of whisky is to increase its
cons sumption enormously. 4 + Whisky
wou1 id be everywhere distilled if the
surveillance of the government were
ithdrawn by the remission of the tax,
and illicit sales could not then be pre-
vent ed even by policy as rigorous and
searching as that with which Russia
purs ues the Nihilists. 1t would destroy
high license at once in all the states.
+ So long as there is whisky to
tax would tax it. Il X Il The tax on
whisky by the federal government, with
it's suppression of illicit distillation and
cons equent enhancement of price, has
been powerful agent in the temper
ance reform by putting it beyond the
reach of so many"
He has, however, expressed himself
on the tariff plank, in his party's plat
form and his opinion does not at all
agree with the opinions he held in
1858, when he said, on June 10th, in
the house of representatives:
"In the first place, let me say that
during the entire war, when we were
seeking everything on the earth and
in the skies, and in the waters under
the earth, out of which taxation could
be wtrung, it never entered into the
conception of congress to tax bread
stuff$ During the most press
ing exigencies of the terrible contest
in which we were engaged, neither
breadstuffs nor lumber ever became the
subject of one penny of taxation. It
was mot because of the influence of the
rich grain dealers at Chicago, Toledo
or Milwaukee. It was because, if any
thing be universal, breadstuffs are uni
versat; for they constitute, literally,
the $ staff of life.'' If you impose on
them tax ever so small in amount, it
will be made pretext for the very
specu of whom gentlemen talk
tor adding an appreciable amount to
the cpst of a barrel of flour.
No w as to the article of lumber,
again remind the house that there has
never been a tax upon this article.
The gentleman from Ohio may talk of
this question as he pleases; but I say
| that whenever the western frontiers
man undertakes to make for himself a
home to till the soil, to carry on the
busi1 1ess of life, he needs. lumber for
his cabin; he needs lumber for his
fence; lie needs lumber for his wagon
or ca rt; he needs lumber for his plow;
he needs lumber for almost every pur-
pose of his daily ife.'

READER, please ask your republican
friend to reconcile the following from
a speech made by John Sherman in
1885, with the republican platform now
before the people:
Every advance toward free ex-
change of commodities is an advance
in civilization; every obstruction to
a free exchange is born of the same
narrow, despotic spirit which planted
castles upon the Rhine to plundeT
peaceful commerce; every obstruction
to commerce is tax upon consumption;
every facility to free exchange cheap
ems commodities, increases trade and
production. and promotes civilization.
Nothing is worse than sectionalism
within a nation, and nothing is better
for the peace of nations than unre-
stricted freedom OF commerce and in
tercourse with each other"

IN A NUTSHELL.

Inc Boston HefQtG is growing very
independent in it's political utterances
In speaking of the Times, it says:
'sThe Philadelphia Times has at the
head of it's columns an effective conden'
sation of the whole statement as re-
CARDS the tariff from the standpoint OF
labor. It is inscribed in this sentence
'Wage-earners will not pay war taxes
in times of peace That sizes up the
situation about as satisfactorily as we
have reason to expect. 1t will be well
for the working classes to remember it
And they may add to their minds the
recollection that these tariff taxes are
nearly all the taxes they do pay. More
direct taxes are levied upon those who
have property upon which to collect
them. The tariff reaches3out every
where, and it reaches SO as to operate
the most unjustly of all upon the poorer
people. ::g i:
Congressman Mills, in his speech de-
livered in New York City on the 4th OF
July, said:
''What the workingmen of this coun-
try want is plenty of work at higher
wages. Neither can be obtained un-
less we can manufacture cheaply for
wide markets. You cannot manufac-
ture cheaply unless the raw material is
cheap, and we must undersell our COM
petitors in order to get markets all over
the world.
Protection such as we have now
does not benefit; the workingman. It
benefits the capitalist who, by means of
protection, has monopoly of some
manufacture. He grows rich, but his
working men do not, for he employs
them at the lowest possible price.
''The policy Of the new tariff is to
build up our manufactures, not to- de-
stroy them; to remove all impediments
and give them every facility to grow.
Remember, the more consumers the
more work. The more work the higher
the wages. Money is only used in COM
merce to adjust balances. Commerce
is really an interchange of commodities.
Open up our markets and make raw
materials cheap and the American
problem is solved Our country will
then, indeed, be the greatest, the freest,
the. happiest, the most prosperous on
the face of the earth!''

A Joke and Its Reaction.

A good story is related at the expense
of a hotel proprietor at Tacoma, w. T.
A stranger who had been stopping at
the house for a few weeks asked the
proprietor how far it was to Mount
Rainier which appeared to be only a
couple Of miles distant. although, in
fact, it was nearly one hundred. The
proprietor winked at the bystanders,
and said that perhaps it was a mile
away. The" boarder said he believed
he would walk out to it for exercise.

foot" who, after borrowing the pro
