HARRISON ON THE TARIFF.
He Thinks That Some Things May BE
Too Cheap

About three months ago ex-senator
Benjamin Harrison spoke at the banquet
of the Marquette club of Chicago. He
said upon the tariff question: ''There is
another question to which the Republi-
can party has committed itself and on
the line OF which it has accomplished,
and believe much to the prosperity of
the country. / believe the Republican
party is pledged and ought to be pledged
to the doctrine of the protection of
American industries and American
labor. Applause believe that so far
as our native inventive genius-which
seems to have no imit-our productive
forces can supply the American market,
we ought to keep it for ourselves. And
yet this new captain on the bridge seems
to congratulate himself on the fact
that the voyage is still prosperous, not
withstanding the change Of comman-
ders. who seem to forget that the reason
that the voyage is still prosperous is be-
cause the cour Sc Of the ship was marked
out before he went on the bridge and the
rudder tied down. Laughter and APP
plause. He has attempted to take new
direction since he has been in command
laughter with view Of changing the
sailing course of the craft, but it has
seemed to me that he has made the mis-
take of mistaking the flash of light of
British lighthouse for the light of day.
Laughter. do not intend here to-
night, in this presence, to discuss this
tariff question in any detail. | only
want to say that in the passage of what
is now SO fiippantly called
the war tariff, to raise reve
nue. to carry on the war out of the
protective duties which were then levied,
there has come to this country a prosper
ity and development which would have
been impossible without it, and that a
reversal of this policy now, at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Cleveland, according :to
the line of the blind statesman from
Texas Mills, would be to stay and inter
rupt this march of prosperity on which
we have entered. Applause. l am
one of those uninstructed political econ
omists that have an impression that
some things may be too cheap; that [
cannot find myself in full sympathy with
this demand for cheaper coats, which
seems to me necessarily to involve a
cheaper man and woman under the coat.
Applause. | believe it is true today
that we have many things in this coun-
try that are too cheap, because whenever
it is proved that the man or woman who
produces any article cannot get decent
living out OF it, then it is too cheap.

From all sides come reports of enthu-
siastic ratification meetings. Harrison
and Morton are proving most accepta-
bic ticket; the tariff issue presents
question of supreme Importance to
every one who works FOR wages; the
whole country is wide awake and full of
enthusiasm and of the promise of VIC
tory. 1t was the hope of the Democrats
that the Chicago convention would end
in a split: instead. it solidified the party.
This is to be an aggressive campaign.
The only defensive position of the Re-
publican party this year is its defense of
the American idea, American industry
and the American flag. The popular
uprising is going to be unrivaled in the
history of the country.

Recently the Union Labor party of the
Third congressional district has mani
tested pretty strong leanings towards
the Democratic party and in their conven-
ton went so far as to incorporate into
their platform the leading Democratic
ideas and principles touching current
politics. When the Democrats met in
Fredonia the other day there was strong
disposition to forego a nomination and
Greeleyize the Union Labor candidate
for congress. Looking to that end the
following resolution was introduced and
advocated:
Resolved, That in view of the existing
complications in this district, and in view
of the further fact that the nominee of
the Union Labor party in this district
heartily endorses the the principles of the
Democratic party, as exprs ssed in the
Presidents last annual message. we deem
il ineXpediept to make any nomination for
congress at this convention, and we recon-
mend that the Democratic district central
committee be given full authority to place
the name of a candidate for congress on
the ticket.
The report of the proceedings says a
lively discussion followed upon the reso-
luton, but motion to adopt was lost,
which vote was made unanimous. The
Union Labor people were thus given to
understand that their presence was not
desirable in the camp of the Democracy
and were left to paddle their own canoe
or seek alliance elsewhere.

Marsh Murdoch, in the EAGLE of yes
terday, speaks of "A pair Of twins being
born in Usage City We have often heard
of a pair of jacks, aces, rodneys. etc, but
this pair of twins is something in nature
of what schoolmen call a solicism. Are
we at variance with the old texts, Marsh?
-Kingman Courier.
.''Solicism" won't go, not even as
lapsus linguae. Incorrect spelling is as
greatly to be deplored as faulty gram
mar, especially for him who would ques-
ton that ''twins" could mean anything
but pair" If 1.-TWO pairs of twins is
correct expression why not lone pair
or "a pair" However, when it comes
to prolificness, we don't suppose that
Kingman is given to having things in
pairs, not even twins.

The prohibition cranks, who are dis
gruntled because they have not been
permitted to dictate the Republican
platform, are still wilfully misrepresent-
ing that platform by saying it declares
for free whisky. The man who can
make this assertion, after carefully read
ing the platform, either fails in his
knowledge of the English language or
prefers lie to the truth. Yet every
sensible man who believes in the protec-
ton of American labor and the develop
ment of American manhood would soon
er see the whisky tax removed than the
benefcent system Of protection de-
StrOyed.

Two or three of the leading Demo
cratic papers have for several weeks
been declaring that there was but one
candidate for nomination by that party
for governor, and that the party was
practically unit in his favor. The
Leavenworth Times, published in the
city where the convention is now being
held, and having the best of opportuni-
ties for knowing the situation as it really
exists, said in its issue of Tuesday, the
day before the assembling of the con-
vention:
There are rumors that hot fight is
pending in the Democratic state conyen-
ton over the nomination of Judge Martin.
There are lots of Democrats who do not
want him to be candidate because he
made the liquor law terror to quite
large number of Democrats by giving
them the heaviest penalties and sending
them to jail These Democrats will be
represented in the convention, and if they
have the courage they claim there will be
very sultry season in the opera house to-
morrow.
The real fnn of the occasion will prob
ably take place today when the conven-
ton sets about making its nominations.
There will be some lively scenes, no
doubt, for there are enough nervy ones
in the body who oppose Martin to kick
up dust, and they are going to do it
unless they are thoroughly sprinkled
down in advance.

DEMOCRATIC TIPPECANoE CLUBS,

Des Mones Register.
In the campaign of 1910 when Grand
father Harrison was a candidate, and
was elected president OF the United
States there was that in his life and rec
ord which drew more than the men of
his own party to his support. He stood
for American. interests, for no reduction
of the wages of workingmen, and for
the preservation of the home market of
the United States, the same as his grand
son Ben stands today. He not only re-
ceived the votes of his own party, but
Democratic Harrison Climbs were
formed, and thousands of Democrats
voted against their party and its free
trade tendencies and for William Henry
Harrison and protection. We are fore
IDLY reminded of this by a letter from
Judge w. w. Williamson, OF Des
Moines. sending us ticket which was
voted for in the campaign of 1910. 1t is
headed:
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1888-07-05

Let the tax remain, says the Democracy
but let us hit at the tariff that encour-
ages home manufactures. If especially
planned to injure the agriculture of the
Virginias, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, southern Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, the Democratic platform would
have been just what it is-Hamper to-
bacco growing with the revenue laws,
and ruin the market for other farm pro-
duce by killing the manufactures with
free trade. This is enough to make the
states surely Republican.

The impetuous bourbon contemporary
the Salina Evening Herald thinks-that
is it says it does-that there never has
been a more disagraceful document
issued by any political party in the his
tory of the country than the platform
upon which the Republican party pro-
poses to fight the campaign of 1888"
Since the idea seems not to have pene-
trated the pericranium of our grewsome
contem. we would suggest that, while
the Republican platform is broad enough
and strong enough to accommodate all
who will ground their opposition to prog
ress and come upon it, and while all
such are cordially invited to do so, there
are no strings to any one, and neither
the Herald or any of its ilk have to be
disgraced by so doing, if they dent want
to. AS for the disgrace of supporting
such platform and the ticket it upholds,
if it be a disgrace, the Republicans of
the land glory in the shame.

HARRISON AND TYLER.

DEMOCRATIC HARRISON IiChET.
A Sound Currency-No Reduction of
Wages-Good Prices for Produee-No
Standing Army-No Sub Treasury-No
King.
Judge Williamson, in sending the
ticket, says:
The Democratic Harrison ticket of
1910 was voted for by thousands of Dem
ocrats, and was just such ticket as
that of Harrison and Morton, and thou
sands of Democrats will vote for that in
November. The selfish and narrow con-
tracted garb Of free trade in which
Democracy is now decked out is too
short at top and too short at bottom and
not wide enough in the waist for
Americans of broad and liberal ideas.
The Chicago convention did well. Upon
its platform Harrison and Morton
will sweep the country from Maine to
Oregon. | was not quite voter IN 1910,
but well remember the songs and en-
thusiasm during the battle and the shouts
of victory after. The fires of 1910 are
being rekindled and will soon be all
ablaze as the winds shall blow between
now and November"
From every quarter comes proof of
the growing popularity of the Harrison
and Morton ticket There is inspiration
in the thought of old men and young
men alike that the fight of 1910, or the
fight for protection of American inter-
ests, is to be fought over again in 1888.
Old men and young men, the veteran
voter and the first voter, as well as the
millions of laboring men and working
men between. will all rally at the call of
such inspiration as this.

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to OPP
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death
and many years of useful life. Upon
the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy
-Boschee's German Syrup, a careful
trial. 1t will prove what thousands
say of it to be, the ''benefactor of any
home"
