II ..Is Bigger thar So.

The conscientious Republican
who reads the following concise
statement ofrthe facts ( from the
Frankfort Capital) viii either come
over ION "the Lords side" or get
down and pray for something with
which to soothe his COINCIDENCE:
"'If this country is to 5a governed
upon the theory of the greatest good
TO the largest number, the doctrine
that eighty-three of the wage-work-
ers out of every one hundredishould
be taxed for the benefit of the other
seventeen cannot find permanent
place. Statistics show that, in the
United States, but seventeen per
cent of the laboring people, that is,
people who live on Income derived
from wages, are benefited by pro.
lection to home industries through
a high tariff The remaining eigh-
ty-three per cent. of these wage.
workers pay nearly one half of every
dollar they make TO sustain the
idea that the seventeen thereby re-
ceive better wages than are paid
similar craftsmen in foreign coun-
tries. While it is not true that the
wage workers supposed to be pro-
tected receive the benefit of this tax,
even if they were SO benefited, the
principle is all wrong. There can
be no justice in compelling the
eighty-three men who dig bitches,
build walls or shovel coal 10 pay
nearly one hall Of every dollar of
their earnings to increase the wages
Of seventeen weavers, who are al
ready receiving more wages for less
work, This, however, is the doc
trine OF protection as advocated by
the Republican party. This is the
"key-note" which the Republican
party is waiting for Mr. Blaine to
strike. So plain is the proposition
to the minds of even the leaders OF
the party, that they recognize the
necessity for some compensating
idea tc offset this tax on the masses
for benefit Of a few. This idea is,
that, as protection increases the
cost of blankets and clothing, the
consumer may have whisky at re,
duced prices, The Republican par
ty says to the laboring man, sin
order to protect about seventeen
men in every one hundred engaged
in skilled labor we must tax the
other eighty-three miscellaneous la
Dorers about fifty ger cent. of their
income. But, to compensate you
Tor this tax, we will remove the tax
on whisky, SO you can save in cost
Of the whisky you consume an
amount equal to the tax you pay for
protection. OF course you must
drink enough whisky to square the
account, or stand deficit"

Courier-Journal IA man named
Durham, OF Waverly, Tenn, who

there by Mcdonald Bros, archi-
tects Of Louisville, to build the Law

Mast in the Campaign.
!. New York 0raphIc. ~

The Graphic gives to-day its first
cartoon from the oold pencil oil
Thomas Mast. 1t has a double sig
nifcance as the work of perhaps the
most Conscientious artist in the
city of cities, and as the first car.
toon he has ever made for the Dem
ocratic side Of the political estab-
lishment.
Mr.. Mast for several years drew a
large salary from the HarperS-
undoubtedly 100000 year-for his
work as the best satlrest in picture
the world ever knew. During some
thing Of this period his pictures
were not published because of his
political differences with Mr., Cur.
tbs, who was rs pronounced in his
opinions as Mr.. Mast was in his.
The strong, intelligent, conscien-
tious opposition OF these gentlemen
finally took Mr., Mast out oflhe
Harper establishment Of his own
choice, and there remains the ami.
able but earnest opposition Of opin-
ion which belongg by right 10 mSn
who have the ability ofthought and
argument. Mr.. Mast comes to the
Democratic side on the tariff issue.
He is not a Democrat, except as 10
the matters of this campaign. He
is, of course, not u free trader-no
man can be that outside of his
prayers-but he certainly favors
such a reform of the tariff as will
make the working man TO some ex-
tent tie competitor Of the man to
whom he gives the VI lue OF his
work. There will be some mighty
good cartoons from Thomas Mast
during this campaign, He has the
as well as the art of
york, and he has enlisted 10. the
entire fight.

Because the Democracy made a
clean sweep of Kentucky at the late
election is no reason why Demo
Gratis should relax their efforts and
let the November election run itself,
The. energies of every Democrat in
the State should be quickened, new
clubs should be formed every day,
and the party should be thoroughly
organized to counteract the "still
hunt" that it is given out the Re-
publicans are making.

DreadfuI efrects Of the Mills BiII.

tBill Nye In New York World.)
Everywhere | found people who
had been afflicted by tariff agitation,
either directly Or indirectly, since
the introduction of the Mills Bill.
A colored man who whistles in loud,
stenatorian tones Of the pier OF the
RockaEay Poat end then passes the
hat told me that he did well last
year, but this SEASON, unless the
trade picked up, he would have to
make an assignment. On the 4th
of July he whistled till he almost
paralyEed his tremolo and seriously
impaired his ppckering string this
year, only to fall short of the days
receipts for last year 81. He says
his whistle gets dry quicker and re-
mains in that condition longer SINCE
the Mills Bill discussion. He also
now has an ingrowing nail which
under protective policy he is sure
would not trouble him. The gener-
al sentiment as expressed by those
interviewed, was that with tariff re-
vision people who mismanaged
their business and then failed would
have nothing to lay it to.

An eloquent senator,itf convivial

rent at the capital. He was called
out, at dinner party, for a post
prandial speech. Rising, with great
difficulty, to his feet, and steadying
himself, as we'll as he could, against
the table, he spoke, to the grea. le-
light of his auditors, on the tariff,
the national banks, and other top
les, and finally the national debt.
"The national debt" said he, in
deep-chested, magnificent tones,
drawing himself up to his greatest
height, "rests upon the solemn
promise of the government of the
United States. 1t is a debt OF hon
or of the American republic. 1t

Unconscious Popular Demand,

A popular magazine today is made by
the unconscious popular demand of to-
day. Entertainment is still the indis-
pensable quality, but the form and
method OF the entertainment change
The magazine, like the actor, must hold
the mirror up to nature. In a sense. it
must be mirror of the time; not, indeed
like the newspaper which gives the news,
but the very form and pressure of the
time must be felt upon its pages. Its in
defatigable exploration and research; its
fresh aspects Of advancing life in older
iahds as well as at home; contemporane-
Gus movements and men-there must be
hints and sketches and accounts of all
these, with the story and song of the liv-
ing author and poet, and all made wildly
real by the proiusion of exquisite aud in
comparable illustration. Harper's Maya.
