LIFE OF CLEVELAND AND
THTT PNFd NJ
THURMAN

The very best history of the Life and
Public Service of Grover Cleveland and
Allen G.. Thurman is that published by
Hubbard Brothers of Philadelphia. The
narrative of Clevelands life is from the
pen of exit. Governor VIM. Dorsheimer
of New Y ork, and that of Thurman by
W. U. Hensel and Geo. F. Parker. 1t is
book of 5S7 pages and is what it purports
to be, not only history of the two states
men named, but record of the principles
of the Democratic party, the utterances
of all its great leaders, and its record of
policy for the last twelve years. To the
politician its statistics will be valuable,
and to the general reader Its biographies
and good portraits will be attractive-and
not the least attractive is the best por-
trait of Mrs. Cleveland that we have seen
in print. 1t should be extensively circu-
lated, and seems to be book that a can
vasser could make profitable in Virginia.
It is just one of those books which are an
ornament to library as we'll as instruc-
tive to the reader. The publishers desire
agents to canyass for the work.

believe any longer that tariff keeps their
wages up? The workingmen and work
ingwomen of America know from sad ex-
perience that high tariff does not make
high wages.
If the workingman's welfare is not
bound up with the tariff, still less so is the
farmers. He has simply stood still to be
sheared until there is very little wool left
on him. Why man who tills the ground
should want system that taxes to the
utmost the plow with which he tills, the
coat he hangs On the fence as he goes to
work, the shingles of the roof that covers
his head when he quits work, and the
glass through which the morning sun
summons him to another days's labor, is
more than the highest ingenuity can ex-
plain on any other ground than that of
habit which we noticed in the beginning of
this article. He is used to 1t, it has been
going on all his life; his ongressman-pro-
baby big corporation attorney-has told
him it is all right, he hasn't looked into it
for himself and SO he has let things drift
along into debt and mortgage. "A farmer who
advocates High Tariff tax instead of a
low, is an anomaly that cannot be ex-
planned. A farmer who scrutinizes his road
tax, his school tax, his county tax, his
State tax and every bill that is rendered
him by his merchant-tha he should
swallow, without looking into it, tax of
Al per cent. laid by the government on

our alert inspection of what is going on
around US, and the habit of submitting to

which hundreds of millions of dollars have
been priced out of the peoples pockets into
the pockets of the monopolists.
But like in the cases of slavery and re-
stricted suffrage. the American people have
become restless and inquiring. The tide of
| revolt against tax exactlons from the many
for the benefit of the few. is running faster
and faster, and the High Tariff Privileged
Glass will be swept away by it and the
country will be ushered into freer and
happier day. The great manufacturer
himself, once over his panic. will see that
low tariff means wider market for him
and more workman in his factories-more
workmen will give more demand for the
product of the farm, and the mortgage
will get down from the farm house roof
where it has rested so long land walk off to
find some land in which High Tariff and
Mouopolies can yet be seen walking the

Still STANDING BY THE
TRTSTS

If James e. Blaine is not trying to knife
BENZ. Harrison it is very hard to under
stand what he is at. That he should in
cold blood, handicap the candidate of an
out party struggling to get in. with the
deadly weight of the Trusts, form of
monopoly against which the whole coun-
try, without respect to party, is up
in arms, is inexplicable on any other
theory. Last Friday he spoke at Dover,
Me-, and in his speech renewed his argu-
, ment in behalf of the sacred inviolability
OF Trusts, this time taking the remarka-
BILE ground for Republican that they
are under the wing of States Rights. He
said:
Every one derives whatever sanction of law
| it possesses from State government, gener-
ally one State, but sometimes several. The
President, therefore, certainly should have
known when he arraigned trusts in his mes
sage to Congress, that Congress could not dis
solve them when their charters were from
State Legislatures or their organizations under
State law.
At the very moment Mr.. Blaine was
i uttering these words, the Investigating
Committee of the Democratic House of
Representatives had before it Anderson
! Gratz, of st. Louis, whose firm is the
head of the Cotton-bagging Trust. He
testified that the Trust had gotten control
of seven-eighths of the production of cot
ton-bagging in this country, and since
July 1st of this year had advanced the
price of the bagging three cents yard.
But few hours before chat testimony
was given, convention of North Carolina
farmers at Raleigh, had passed resolutions
showing the operation of the rise on
them. and denouncing the Trust. In
other States similar movements are on
foot among the farmers, and yet Me-.
Blaine is engaged in trying to show that
these monopolies are sacred under State
Rights and the people must go on suffer
ing. His argument in effect is, that any
combination of capital against the welfare
of the people. no matter how cruel the
results, may be safe from interference of
the Nation if it can only get shell from
State legislature to cover it. To him
his European tour and sojourn in Paris
seem to have brought back the days OF
Louis the Fourteenth.
