If Nominated He Will Accept.

A representative of the Post-Dis.
datch interviewed Mr.. Clardy last Sun.
day at the Laclede. In reference to the
question of Congressman from this dis.
trict Mr.. Clardy said:
81 am not candidate and shall not be. !
have neglected my private business for some
time and remained at my post in Washing
ton, but now / think that had better look
after my own affairs and therefore shall not
be a candidate for reelection"
elbow would it be if you should receive
the Nomination."
"That, of course, would put AN entirely
different aspect upon the case. 1 do not be-
lieve that any good Democrat has a right to
thwart the will of his party as expressed in
convention, and If the voters of my district
should spontaneously nominate me, o sense
of duty would compel me 10 accept. But !
am not a candidate, nor shall be-"
AS we have stated time and again,
we know that Mr.. Clardy is not seek
ing a denomination, and that If he
were to consult solely his own feelings
and interests, he would not run under
any circumstances. But he also recog-
nizes the fact that his constituents
have some claim upon him; that they
have q right to demand the services OF
his experience and ability. Let us
nominate him, and make sure of hav-
ing the Tenth District well and worth
iiy represented.

Iowa Farmers Growing Festive.


Judge Hayes, of Iowa, who holds o
federal position in Washington, said
the other day: 81 am getting a great
many letters from home about the po-
liticai situation. and shall be wonder
fully surprised if the election does not
take the Republicans breath away.
Of course we shall lose some voters on
the tariff question. / know some sheep
owners who will vote against US, Tut
there are a great many more people
who are taxed by the tariff than there
are who get anything from the tariff,
and they are finding it out. The idea
that The tariff is tiresome subject that
people don't want to hear about is q
great mistake. I am simply over
whelmed with applications for tariff
speeches, and the people are reading
and talking about the tariff. I've got
a friend in Muscatine county, a farmer
who has always been an extreme Re-
publican. He wrote to me: Il have
been studying the tariff question some,
and / have got one foot over on the
Democratic side of the fence. I've got
to the point where I don't exactly see
why should raise unprotected produce
and he compelled to buy protected arti-
cles.' In my town of Clinton there is
a colony of $50 Danes. We never have
got vote out of them. This year a
q Danish Cleveland and Thurman club
has been organized among them, and
it has lis members. And then there
are lot of Republicans who will not
come over to us but will not vote the
Republican ticket. and they will go
over to the prohibitionists. In my
town the prohibitionists have never
gotten vote. J. Ellen Foster lives in
the town and her influence has been
enough to hold the prohibitionists to
the Republican ticket. Now my in
formation is that fifty prohibition votes
will be cast in Clinton. I think the
election will show large Democratic
gains all around"

Mr.. E. M. Ezekiel, who is employed
as salesman and general agent for the
New England States, makes the follow
ing statement about the eff. ct free raw
materials in his line of business: "In
1869, with high duties on varnlsh gums,
the manufacturers of varnishes in the
United States could not compete with
the fine goods imported into this coun-
try, and used to large extent by ev-
cry high-grade carriage and railway
car mandatory in the United States,
and sold none of the American goods
in foreign markets. In 1870 Congress
(Republican) made varnish gums free
of duty. Note the results, which can
| varnish manufacturers of this country.
There are ten manufacturers to-day
where there was one twenty years ago.
Varnish is sold at lower price Except
some of the finer grades); more men
are employed to make it, more men to
sell it, more men to make packages for
it, more men to ship and handle it, and
better wages are paid for the labor en-
ployed than in any industry that pays
duty on its raw material. And the
American varnish has not only pushed
the foreign product out of the majority
of carriage and car-shops in the United
States, but is being sold in England,
France, Germany, Austria, Spain, and
Australia in successful competition
with the foreign goods made by the
pauper labor of Europe as stigmatized
by the enemies of tariff reform.n

One element in the change of senti-
ment in regard to tariff reform among
workingmen which is not generally
appreciated is the influence of the press.
In the State of Indiana, for example, ia
published weekly paper of this sort,
called the Labor Signal, which advo-
Gates tariff reform with great earnest
ness and effect in every issue. The
Labor Signal puts before the wage
workers such campaign document as
the Foster circular, and thus enables
them to see for themselves the confess
sion of Republican United States
Senator" that "the manufacturers of
the United States are getting practic-
ally the sole benefit of the tariff laws"
1t publishes bits of the personal expe-
rience of laboring men like this, con-
firming the great truth enunciated in
the "fat" circular:
A few years ago spent a month in the
Michigan pineries, and while there the mill
owners got an extension of the great "Amer-
lean system" of protection to the amount of
81 per thousand feet of lumber addition tar
iff. This added about $50 day to the net
profits of each mill. The employes-aver-
aging eight or ten to the mill-thought it was
good time to ask for their wages to be ad-
vanced from $3.50 per day to $1.75. This
would make an addition to the expense of
the mills of from 81 to $3.50 per day, and
would still leave $47.50 to $4S per day profit
from the increased tariff. AS the tariff is
exclusively for the benefit of the working
man, of course the whole amount belonged
to them, but being liberal, as workingmen
always are, they offered to divide, and give
the mill-owners 50 per cent. of the enhanced
profit. What do you suppose these beneficial
ries of the great"American system" did in the
premises? Their answer to the request was
curt and decisive: "Gentlemen, we have no
further use for your services; we can get
Canadians for $1.25w And so they did. In
addition, meeting of mill-owners was call
ed, and by agreement the cut was reduced
one-fourth, the Canadian employees were put
on three-fOurths Undertaking to them SO
cents day, and lumber was advanced $1.00
per thousand feet. Great is "The American
System"!!
The Labor Signals readers evidently
agree with the EDITORS view of the tar
iff question. In recent issue it says:
1--WE have had only one subscriber quit
us because of our advocacy of reduc-
ton of the..war taxes" Moreover, the
Labor Signal is only one of great
number of labor papers which are
preaching the same doctrine to the
workingmen all over the land. 1t says
that it has 200 labor exchanges, of
which one favors the Republican party
in the present campaign, about dozen
are non-commiltal, and the rest are for
Mr.. Cleveland.

Gen. P. III. Sheridan died Monday
night at Nonquitt, Mass. where he had
been removed from Washington a
month ago in the hope that he would
be benefited by the change. The re-
ports of the past two weeks were of a
rather encouraging nature, and the adj
mirers of the sick soldier believed that
there was a chance for his final recov-
cry but it was decreed otherwise and
the end came peacefully and quietly on
Sunday night. Gen. Sheridan was
among the bravest of the brave and
probably held q warmer place in the
majority of American hearts than any
military man of the present day. Peace
to his ashes.
