For the Democratic Advocate.

The campaign is progressing fayora6ly Tor
the party in power, as it is conceded by all
keen observers that the Democratic ticket
will be elected by an overwhelming majority.
The able discussion of the tariff question,
which has lately been called forth, has opened
the ewes of many of our Republican friends
who will vote with the Democrats. The as
sertion that Cleveland's policy is free trade
policy is regarded as bosh. Such sentiment
never fell from the lips of any honest man OF
penetration. The Republicans four years ago
declared that revision of the tariff was ne
cessary, and the negative position they have
taken since proves their insincerity, and that
that feature of their platform was forced upon
them by public opinion, while 1t was their
purpose to dupe their constituents II they had
been successful. But, as the world becomes
more enlightened, the evils of protection be-
come more apparent, and the people can no
longer be hoodwinked upon this subject. 10
say the least of protection, it can subserve no
other interests than to augment the domains
of capital, and thereby open up whlrlpools OF
concentrated power which engulf millions
that rightfully belong to labor.
In this connection we will ask If protection
does protect the laboring man, why is 1t that
after this policy has been in full force and
operation for over 20 years, that we have now
more suffering and privation and consequent
dissatisfaction among the laboring classes than
was ever known in the history of the govern
ment? Ifprotection does protectth laboring
man, why is it that the circulating medium in
the rural districts is now at lower ebb than
was ever known, while manufacturers are
piling up their millions in an increased pro,
portion. These are problems to be solved
by laboring men, and their solution will be
given at the November election, at which
time the advocates of protection will be buried
so deep that they will rise not until the mil
lenium of thousand years of Democratic rule
is ended. Then they will again cry aloud for
protection from the wrath to come, and call
upon the rocks to hide them from the face of
Him that sitteth upon the throne. BERRET.

The bosom where we oft have lain
And slept our infant hours away,
Will never beat for us again,
It's still in death, It's senseless clay,
Heaven returneth now our treasure.
Earth alone our casket keeps;
Aud the sunbeams love TO linger
Where our darling mother sleeps.
Tears from our eyes are streaming
And sorrow shades our brow;
Oh blame us not for weeping,
We have no mother now.
Weep not for me my husband dear.

The Germans for Cleveland.

The Bavarian Aid Society closed its ma
tional convention in Louisville, Ky, Satur-
day. Mr.. John A. BeDnipger, one of the
leading delegates in attendance, said to an
interviewer: 81 will tell you rather strange
circumstance, and one to which, in my mind,
great significance attaches. All of the dele
gates are representative Germans, and they
came from almost every State in the East
and Northwest. There is not single one
of them here who is mott Democrat and who
does not intend voting for Cleveland and
Thurman. This is somewhat remarkable
from the fact that the order has not the
slightest connection with anything political,
and the delegates were selected because of
their prominence and fitness to do the work.
A number of those to whom | have talked
on the subject state that heretofore they have
voted the Republican ticket, but that this
year they can neither swallow the platform
nor the candidate Julius Korn, of Chi
cago, ex-president of the order, Max Friera-
bend, also an ex-president, and President
G. Roster were standing by and agreed to
the statement,

The Pacific Coast for Cleveland.

California is one of the states in which the
two great political parties are quite nearly
balanced In 1868 Grant carried the state
by only SOC majority; in 1872 he beat Greeley
by u, 234, but that vote can not be considered
a test; in 1876 Hays had 1921 majority; in
1880 Hancock carried the state by "a MAORI
ty, and in 1884, Blaine, the most popular Re-
publican on the Pacific Coast, beat Cleveland
by 1856. Had Blaine been nominated at
Chicago, as the California delegation demand
ed, the state would have cast her electoral
votes for him, but the tide is now in favor of
Cleveland, and the state is claimed by the
Democrats by at least 1900 majority.
The Chinese question is the leading one,
and the rejection by China of the recently
negotiated treaty excluding Chinese from this
country will intensity the interest in matter
of Chinese immigration.
Harrison's record on Chinese immigration
and labor is very distasteful to the voters of
the Pacific Coast, while Cleveland's record
on questions affecting labor is quite accepta-
Bile.
Oregon and Nevada are also close states.
The recent election in Oregon is no criterion
by which to Judge the result in November.
Blaine only carried the state by 9SS, and
recent canvas of the state gives indications
that Cleveland will carry it by nearly double
the Blaine majority. Harrison had not been
nominated when the late election was held,
nor was the Chinese question an issue.
Money of land grab railroads aided the Re-
publican party greatly, but the rejection by
China of the recent treaty will bring the ques-
ton of Chinese immigration to the front, and
the records of Harrison and Cleveland will
determine the result in favor of Cleveland.
The situation in Nevada is similar to that
in Oregon and California, and that state, too,
is likely to give her three electoral votes to
Cleveland.
In all these states the Republicans are try
ing the free trade scare, but the Mills bill is
quite satisfactory to the Pacific slope, and the
tide is all in favor of Cleveland. Count the
Pacific states in the Democratic column.

MoNoLoGUE READING.

One of the most interesting events of the
coming week is to be the monologue readin ne
of .'Esmeralda,' on Thursday evening, the
18th inst, by Prof. A. H. Merrill, of Wander
bit University. The drama is an adaptation
of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's popular
story of the same name, which appeared in
the Century some years ago. LISA compound
of humor and pathos, and is especially adapt
ed to monologue interpretation. We give
below a clipping from ''The Daily American
of Nashville, Tennessee:
Mrs Burnetts charming play was read last night
at Watkins Institute by Prof A. II. Merrill lnstruc-
tor in Elocution in Vanderbilt University II was
uniqne entertainment. II would be hard for one
who has not seen 1t done to believe that one man
could repres ent well such variety of characters
in so many scenes but Mr. Merrill passed from
one TO another of the ten personages of the play
with scarcely jar of the artistic feelings Of the au-
dience old Mr. Rogers is evidently his favorite
character and he easily made him with his audi
tors When the old man exelaims, He's standin up
agin his mother it Is so natural, so perfectly done,
that criticism is dsarmed. The piece as
rendered gets better and better to the close. Prof
Merrill is no stranger to Nashville audiences, and
the reputation so quickly won means well. II Is
easy TO predict for him fine future in his noble
profession.

German Will Get There.

Washington dispatch to the Baltimore
Herald says: Senators German and Quay,
who sit on opposite sides of the chamber, are
potent factors in the pending political fight;
for, though the Maryland Senator occupies
nominaly subordinate position in the Dem
ocratic committee, he is known to be the
brains and directing force. The two opposing
leaders rarely come together in a social way
at the capital. Germans friends are not the
least bit apprehensiye that he will be Yorsted
in the contest, Among Democratic Senators
and Representatives such comments as "Gor-
man will take the conceit out of Quay" "By
the time German gets through with Quay his
political leadership will be over" can fire.
