JNO. r. CARROLL. Edit.
OF 0

The Chicago Times in these words very
compactly states the changes of views
undergone by prominent Republicans:
When Benjamin Harrison was a sena
tor Of the United States he secuted as
absurd the hint that taxes would ever be
taken from whisky and tobacco.
When James G. Blaine was speaker OF
the house of representatives he was in
favor of free salt, free coal and free lum-
Der.
When Morrill, of Vermont reported the
high tariff act of 1861 he did it APOLOGIZE
cally, promising that with the return of
peace the reasonable tariff of'57, the work
of the Republican party in congress, or a
reduced tariff would be restored.
The tariff of 81 made by the Republi-
can party was a low tariff. Its average
was half the average which would be
made by the Mills bill.
Time was when both Senators Hale and
Hawley rose in their places to plead for
free lumber, free coal, free salt and free
raw material.
Successive Republican secretaries of the
treasury have recommended u revision
and reduction of the tariff. The Repub-
lican platform of 1884 pledged the party
to correct the inequalities of the tariff and
reduce the treasury surplus.
And when a bill making additions to
the free list and a reduction on the SEIZED.
ules averaging s or I per cent the Re
publican press and the Republican lead
ers cry out in protest against a course
which they themselves, or some OF them,
recommended, and declare to the Ameri-
can laborer that Cleveland and the Dem
ocratic party propose to rum them with
English free trade. Just what interest
Cleveland would have in running the bust
ness of a country which has honored him
with the chief magistracy is not made clear,
nor is 1t explained why a multitude con
sisting of one-half the electors of the re-
public should think it polite and desir-
able to bring pauperism upon all. The
cry is a false alarm sounded by the pro
tected interests which, if they were wise,
would accept the slight cut made by the
house tariff bill and say nothing. But
they are hard masters, as the Republican
party which has become their servant, is
finding out. Men OF supposed character
must stultify themselves in order to serve
the demon Of protection. Protective are

Two years ago the Republican party's
sole reliance was placed upon Blaine
James G.. Blaine, of Maine. He was
then their national standard bearer in re-
atty and he led the party to the first ac-
~knowledged defeat it had met in a gener-
alton. Once again the party acknowl-
edges his leadership, and the real stand
ard bearer is dwarfed into pigmy proper
tions in comparison. The Democratic
party can well afford to be pleased over
the adulations lavished on the magnetic
man, for the more Blame is showed to the
front the more certainly will Democatic
victory result.

such difusive eloquence that it is some
what surprising he did not happen to
founder on the keynote somewhat. The
discovery, however, was left for hat dis
tinguished friend of American labor, Mr..
Blaine, who spent the summer riding on
a tally no coach with that other working
mans friend, MI. Andrew Carnegie.

HERE is a practical exempliication of
Republican protection" Chauncey
Depew, the great champion of protection
and a leading Republican candidate for
president, has Just imported 800 Italians
to work for 81. 90 a day on the New York
Central railroad.

OMAHA has the only Independent

great care should be taken not to omit
the "a" in the name.

IT Is a noticeable fact. even in the
estimation of the Republican papers, that
Mr.. Blaine struck the keynote OF the
campaign. The distinguished Mr.. Har-
rison has spoken so frequently and with

ASSUMING SHAPE.
Opposition to the City Charter
Crystallizing.

Opposition to the City Charter
Crystallizing.
The first meeting of suburbans who
are opposed to the adoption Of the city
charter took place at the little new
school house on Franklin street on
Saturday night, with quite large
number Of people present. Mr. Tom
Killingsworth was elected chairman.
A number of gentlemen bitterly op-
posed to the charter made speeches
amongst whom the most radical were
Capt. M. D. Herring and Mr.. Jas.
l. Moore. The first Of the objection
seemed to be that the charter was q
plan Of property holders inside of the
city TO get their property improved at
the expense Of Others and the charter,
the laws which made it passiblc came
in for sharp handling without gloves.
Mr.. j. w. Higgins took the opposite
view, arguing the matter ably and
forcibly. The sense Of the meeting,
however, seemed to be almost unani-
nous against the charter and organizes
tion was begun and carried out almost
mem con fer the purpose of making a
strong fight against it before the legis-
lature. A committee was appointed,
ono for north, south, east and west
Waco, to canvass the suburbans and Sc
cure signatures to petition to the leg
islature, asking that body to refuse as
sent to tho new charter. 1t is intended
that the petition shall be monster
one and such that the committee may
each be able to swear before notary
public that the names signed to The
petition for which he solicits are the
names Of bona fde citizens and the
signatures their own. The following
was the appointed: For north Waco
Mr.. j. A. Xix; South Waco. Mr.. Jas
/. Moore; West Waco, Mr. Van Hall
and East Waco Mr.. j. X. Rose. The
committee will not only CANVASS fol
names to the petition but will also SO
licit subscriptions in money for thu
creation Of a fund to defray the ex
penses Of this hot fight, which it is in
tended to make against the charter a

MT. VERNON.

EDITOR EXPRESS Thinking a few
items from this place would be of in
terest to your readers, will try and
inform you of the latest happenings as
far as 1 know.
We are having very fine weather at
present, with plenty of rain, although
ii is rather too cool for vegetation to
grow much. We have had an UMPIRE
cedented dry spring this year, and in
consequence the grass is short. Grain
is going to make half crop anyway,
perhaps more.
Mt. Vernon is a small town on the
Dalles military road, about one hun
dred and seventy miles east of the
Dalles, and about two hundred and
fifty miles northeast of Lebanon.
The country hereabouts is devoted
principally to stock raising, the sheep
industry predominating, there being
about one hundred and ten thousand
head owned in this vicinity, also about
five thousand head of cattle and few
horses. Shearing is about over, but
the wool is not going out very fast, as
prices are too low at present.
