Cleyeland's Gift to the Banks.

Grover Cleveland has shown himself to be po-
htically dishonest, untruthtul and corrupt. Is
he personally honest? The legal maxim. False
in one thing, false in all, holds in regard to
character Vices generally go in groups and q
man who is devoid of conscience in one respect
is apt to be 80 in others. Such q character is
not above suspicion, and when the possessor
has shown himself to be untruthfu1, insincere
and dishonest in public affairs, we have right
to question his personal honesty. We do not
suppose the President would profit directly and
pecuniarily by q corrupt transaction, but if he

the President or his party, or personal friends
OF his, are profiting very largely by the enor-
nous Government deposits now end for some
time past carried by the national banks. These
deposits amount to S60,gC000J. This is nearly
five times as large as they were under Repub-
hcen admins ration Six per cent on So. 000,-

Congress would have moved the impeachment
of the President. The interest ON these de-
posts amounts to S3Ju, 600 month. This is q
gift 20 the banks. Out of it they can well afford
to make large donation to- the. Democratic
the Presidents check for $500 and nothing in
his character OF antecedents forbids the suppo-
sition that he would accept that favor His
professions of personal honesty are entitled to
no more weight than his opposition to a second
term or his civil-Service reform professions.
We Judge, men by their acts and their
lives, not by their professions. PRESIDENT
who has shown himself to, be thoroughly I'M
scrupulous and un trustworthy in politics has no
right to complain if, under suspicious circunl-
stances, his personal honesty is questioned. If
the Pre- ident is directly or indirectlya party to
the transaction by which. favored banks are

these enormous deposits OF government funds,
he is personally dishonest. man of his habits
and loose principles, who has, brought himself
to believe that his reelection is necessary to
welfare of the country, could very easily go

campaign donation of $1,000, to- be made in his

PROTECTION AND INDUSTRY.
The Effect of High Tariff Upon Domestic
Manufa ctures.
From the Louisville Commercially

From the Louisville Commercially
1t is idle to talk about making our manufact-
urers able TO compete without protection, with
those of England, by giving them free machin-
cry and fres raw materials. England has free
machinery AMI free raw materials as we'll as we.
Ninety per cent. of he cost of nearly every
manufactured product is labor, and as long as
we pay labor twice much as our English
rivals do we cannot compete with them without
regulating our commerce with them so as to in
sure our manufacturers q living profit The
price of everything is ultimately regulated by
supply and demand We have the most
literally and largely purchasing popu-
lation in the world. We manufacture
more than England We supply our
own people with much more than all the rest of
the world sells to them. If our manufacturers
were compelled to shut down for want of a. liv-
ing profit, would not the largely increased de-
mand thereby thrown upon the foreign manu-
facturers at once cause them to raise their
prices largely? 1t is cheaper and more profit
able to pay high price a5 home than it is to
pay it abroad
Protection is designed to enable our manu-
facturer5 to compete on terms that will allow
them living with foreign manufacturers, so
that foreign manufacturers may not be able to
dictate prices to US, SO that people may
have diversity Of employment, and that
farming may not be broken down bv having too
many of our population engaged in it.

THE EFFECT ON WOOL.
Figures Which Show the Fatal Effect of
Tariff Reduction.
From the Toledo Blade.1

Tns free trade argument to support the free
wool idea is that it is necessary" to have for
eign wool to mix with our own that making
wool free will increase our wooden manufact-
ures and hence the demand for native wool.
Let us see whether it works that way. The wool
duty was reduced in 1883. In 1887 we produced
Ia, 100000 less pounds of native wool than in
1882. and the price fell taking fsece-washed Xxx
for illust1ationl frOm AZ cents pound in 1882 to
81 cents in 1887. AS to our imports, they Inc
creased from 81 661 744 pounds n 1882 to ia 038-
O30 pounds in 1887.
Here Is as good an illustration of the effects OF
tariff reduction below the protective line as one
needs Under such reduction the price of native
wool has decreased, the production has fallen of
because wool growing has become Improbable
through the reduction of the duty. and our inn
ports of foreign wool have largely increased.
What is true of wool will be true of any other
protected product.

at ng it in an unprecedented manner ard for
having used extraordinary means to crsa5 pref
udice against the protective system, and with

derstood by tho people the Presidents method
of approaching the question will strengthen the
cause of protection and not. weaken it, and will
in my judgment, in the end prove one of the po-
tent causes of his defeat at the approaching

Made Goods for Government Use.
Washington special to the Indianapolis Journal
If there is one act above another that should
cause the labOring men of the country to put
their feet down upon the neck of President
Cleveland's administration, it is the one which
Senator Teller Of Colorado exposed in the Sena:
He pulled back the hypocritical veil from the
face of some of the inside workings of the adj
ministration, and showed that, under Indian
Commissioner Atkins, contracts were given Tor
hundreds and hundreds OF road and farm wagons
to Cherry, Marrow 81 Co., for four hundred of
their wagons, made by peniUentiary convicts,
and intended for and used in the In lian Terri
tory. There were subsequently other large
orders given by Go ernI1e1t officers for those
wagons. Whether the President made pocket
veto of the bill making it crime to for the
Government conYic.-made goods, with an eye
to these very CONTACTS Is conjectural. This is
what Senator Teller wants Investigated But
the infamous part OF the business, il connection
with the interests OF the 1aboring 11afi, Is the
fnct that these contracts were made in conpe-
tition with Others who employed union labor.

convicts pay about 25 cents day per man for
their work, while the Studebakers pay from $1.50
to So q day. The law provides that the contract
shall be let @to the lowest and best bidder"
President Cleveland has by his various acts, in
GLIDING his pocket veto of the bill mentioned,

A New Industry.

A new use for worn-out saws and car

useless tools are gathered up and sent
to machine shops, where they are used
for the making of surgical END engineer

Private M
SIR-I am in receipt of your letter of the 4th
inst and beg to say that I fully appreciate the
difficulty in which you find yourself in casting
your vote. You are probably aware that any
political party which openly favored the mother
country at the present moment would lose
popularity, and that the party in power is fully
aware of this fact. The party, however, is be-
ieve, still DESTROYS of maintaining friendly re-
lations with Great Britain, and is still as
DESTROYS of settling all questions with
reopened since the rejection of the treaty
by the Republican majority in the Senate,
and by the Presidents message, to which you
lallude. All allowances must, therefore, be made
for the political situation as regards the Presi-
!dential election thus created. It is impossible
to predict the course which President Cleveland
may pursue in the matter of retaliation should
he be elected, but there is every reason to be-
live that while unfolding the position he has
taken he will manifest the spirit of Cancellation

The genuineness OF the letter was questioned,

that he had perfect right to make known his
views about domestic politics, These extraordi-
nary doiugs have caused extraordinary

the publication of an authorized interview with

on the Pacific, showing the full-orbed
moon lighting up the gently heaying
waters was very effective, and it was de-
servedly applauded In choice and APP
propriate language Mr. Dickinson de-
scribed the halcyon days and nights
spent on board the steamer, and told
how speeding merrily on her way, the
good ship brought up in the harbor OF
Honolulu. The characteristics OF this
interesting place were fully described,
and the life, customs, and costumes of
the natives alluded to- Passing refer
ence was also made TO the phrase,

beauty-and the reigning monarchs,

the palace and the standing army"
numbering some eighty warriors, were
also shown. 4 tribute OF praise was paid
TO the Kings native band, the conductor
OF which is a German. This band is said
