their raw material, and TO pay duty OF

| DEAR BLANKETS, But CHEAP RAGS -
The Republican tariff considerably In
creases the already very high duties on
wool and wooden goods. That's bad for
farmers. mechanics and workiDgmen as
| the cold weather is coming.
But then the Republican tariff puts
rags on the free list That is very con-
siderate. The Republican leaders say to
the laboring people In effect. "lf you
can't afford to buy our highly taxed
blankets, hannels and clothes you may
dress yourselves and your wives and
children in duty;free rags."-Exchange.

ment 10 the agents Of the majority Of the
people of the United States. The House

Executive branch of the Government Is
also in the hands of the party OF the peo-
ole, excepting In so far as executive

fined by the obstructive veto power OF
the Senate in making appointments to
Office and in the consummation OF nego-
stations with foreign posers.-N. \. Star.
WISE WORDS FROM WISE MAN.-Mr
Mccullough, Secretary Of the Treasury
under Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur, says
that lone thing is certain; we can never
extend cur markets beyond our own
shores and improve the condition OF our
laboring classes under the present COM
binalion Of high tariff and free labor.
We cannot allow immigrants to pour in
upon as a. the present rate and not in
lure our standard of labor and wages.
We ought to be great commercial ma
ton. We have all the natural advan-
| tages But we must free trade from it,
restrictions. We really have no interna-
tional trade now. Most Of our exports
now are food stuffs, aud most OF them 90
to England. Other nations buy OF US
only what they cannot get anywhere
else. There is all the South American
trade, of which We get only small
share: we ought 10 have a great deal
more of il. But We can neTer expect to
have any international trade of any i'm.
portance 50 long as we maintain high
protective tariff both on manufactures
and on raw materials.

The RIGHT OF WAY."-The Ameri-
can manufacturer neither needs nor asks
for ANYTHING more than the right OF way.
Give him that and he will be quite able
TO take care of himself.
The right of way means free raw ma
teIials, which will throw open the whole
world as a market for his products.
As things are going now our magufac-
turers can make more goods in eight
months than they can sell in twelve. The
fatal consequence is that they are COM
PEELED at certain times of the year to get
rid of their merchandise for whatever 1t
will bring. They cut each others thtoats,
because the demand is limited, and each
one is bound to get all the custom he can
in order 10 reduce the stock on his hands

NEW YORK DEMOCRATs.-The Demo
cratic National Committee Is understood
to have made an earnest effort to effect a
union of the New York Democracy on
local candidates Although the effort
was unsuccessful, the Committee ought
10 insist that there shall be no division
of the party on Congressman. The issue
has been made in Congress between the
two parties on vital principal, and no
mere local discussions ought to be al
lowed to risk the loss OF single city

of the eight city Representatives in the
House ought 10 be a aritf-RefOrm

Congressional nominations might lose the
