Cleveland's Complaint.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. Cleveland's particular complaint just
now is about the $3.50, 600, 900 in the Teas
ury above the necessary sum. The truth is,
there are about Sl20, 900 600 on hand extra,
and we say it should be used to pay debts.
But here comes Mr.. Carlisle and complains
that the Government bonds are paying a
premium-that is to say, the Government
credit is objectionably high. This, from a
Democratic point of view, SCENE to be a
great pity. 1t would take SIPS, 900, 900 to
buy 500, 100000 bonds. Very well sup
pose it should cost $3.50, 00G, 600. We would
still save in interest on the 800, 900 900 of
bonds-that is, save for the people at length
by using the surplus to take up bonds now
$40, 900. 900. Why does this meet with
Democratic opposition: Do they wish the
exercise of the power that is present in big
pile of money, or do they think if the pro-
tective duties were destroyed and deficiency
provided and the pensions assailed, and con-
ciliation proposed by settling Confederate
war claims on a liberal scale, that the public
credit should be SO deprecated as TO reduce
the market value of bonds-and save money
in that way!

HARRISON AS A CITIZEN.
His Pastor of Many Years Speaks OF His
Professions and Practices

Some famous men, like prophets. have
least honor in their own country: but tru-
~ great men, those whose greatness is in
herent aud not borrowed are as well able
TO bear the everyday scrutiny of their
neighbors rs the occasional glimpse of
strangers. OF the latter class is General
Benjamin Harrison. for here is his pastor.
Rev. NJ. l.. Ilaines, of the First Presbv-
terrain Church of indianapolis. a man who
has known the Republican Candidate for
years, writing of him in leading journal :;
There is about General Harrison an
utter absence of pretence or atfectation.
He discards any attempt to make a show
of himself, and would be the last person to
speak or act for mere effect. Open and
straightforward in both language and ac-
tions, he lacks that quality of politi-
elan which makes one expert at pulling
wires and laying pipes.
ale impresses one as being a man of
balanced mind and clear convictions, who
would give any truth brought before him
ing to Swerve him from the path of duty.
With him promise is sacred: with him
yes means yes, and no means no. He
is not man DESTROYS of debating to
others, nor will he allow himself to be
dictated to.
decided in his convictions, broad in
his views, inspired by a high moral pur-
pose. ruled by aeonscience both strong
and informed, he has led life in this
city conspicuous for its probity and its
stainless integrity

AN OvERwORKED PRONoUN
Mr.. Cleveland's Letter OF Acceptance
illustrates His Old Weakness

GrceiaBd Leader.-Presiden Cleveland
has adopted the autocratic "we, after the
manner of the crowned heads of Europe
and Asia. About one-third of this letter
of acceptance is devoted to the explana-
tions of what 1--WE propose and 'we be-
lieve." Then he continues the use of the
autocratic "we" with reference to himself
nearly q score of times, a. follows:
ave present to Them etc.
I'VE believe that the same means" etc.
ave fully appreciate etc.
1--WE know the cost, etc.
''We propose, therefore" etc.
''We will not neglect" etc.
I'VE will furnish, etc.

''We propose to- etc.
"We believe that" etc.
"We count the checking" etc.
I'VE cannot avoid etc.
I'VE have entered upon no crusade. "etc.
1--WE seek to inaugurate, etc.
''We are dealing" etc.--and so on nd
HdHSedM.
The President has not forgotten the use
of the singular, as the following simple
sentence will show:
These thoughts are intensified by the
light of MY experience in the Presidential
office, which has impressed ME with the
severe responsibilities which it imposes,
while it has quickened MY love for Am
erican institutions and taught ME the
priceless value of the trust of MY country

The Republican Measure.

The Republican Tariff bill reported in
the Senate tends to prove conclusivcly,
what We have maintained since President
Cleveland put forth his Free Trade pro-
gramme IN his December message, that
the real issue between the Republicans
and the Democrats is not that of the re-
duction of the national revenues, but as
to how the requisite reduction shall be
made. Shall it be made ON such articles
and In such manner that our Protective
system will remain intacty Or shall it be
formulated on the lines of Free Trade, and
with such provisions aud tendencies as
shall commit the Government to Free
Trade and give satisfaction and hope to
the Golden Club and To our commercial
rivals on the other side of the Atlantic
The Republicans are in favor of strict
honesty and wise economy in the financial
affairs of the Nation. The present Demo
cratic Administration is more expensive
than its Republican predecessors as the
reports of the Treasury abuudantly attest
In charging that the Republicans wish to
keep unnecessary aud heavy burdens of
taxation on the people, the Democrats have
been untruthful and unjust. 1t is uudeni-
able that the Republican Senate bill will
reduce the revenue quite rs much as the
Mills bill. But the former pleases Amer
can manufacturers and American laborerS
The latter affords qualification to the
British manufacturers and the British pol
iticians. Instead of keeping heavy bur
dens on the necessaries of life, the Re
publican bill takes off $50 900. 900 per
annum on sugar, largely reduces the duty
on rice, and enlarges the free list by the
inclusion Of articles not produced in this
country. The Republican bill is in line
with the same policy which made tea and
coffee free because these uecessares are
not produced in the United States, and
because they are used by the entire peo-
Pile. The Republican bill conforms to the
principles which were endorsed by Wash |
ington, Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson aud
nearly all of the early statesmen of the |
Republic, and sustained by all the eminent /
American statesmen of the later decades |
of the Government. The Mills bill runs |
on the lines of Free Trade, its authors |
and defenders avow themselves in favor |
Of revenue tariff, they denounee Pro |
lection, and constantly repeat the maNims |
Of Free Trade. The character and the |
tendency of the Mills Bill are completely /
shown by those who camor for il on
both sides of the Atlantic. The character
and the tendency of the Republican Sem
ate bill is amply attested by those who
commend il as well as by those who OPP
pose it. The Republican bill is for rev.
enue reduction, it is not in favor of free
whiskey, it is in favor of raising the
revenues mainly on foreign importations,
it is thoroughly American, and is in keep
ing with that magnificent national policy
established by the Morrill, tariff in 1861,
under which this country has had a Ca
reer Of prosperity without a parallel in
the history of nations. Cleveland and
Thurman represent the Mills Bill Harrison
and Morton. represent theRepublcan bill of
