this country. You can tell them that of
$50, 1000, 900 of reduction on 2uliable goods

To this The st. Louis Globe Democrat
replies: "For whose benefit was this Sill
100000 reduction provided? For the
benefit of the sugar trust Most of this
reduct on was ON sugar which must 60
through the refneries before it can be-
come an article of commerce. The change
first made in the duties on sugar did not
please the gentlemen in charge of the
sugar combine and Havemeyer, the
head of that conspiracy, was allowed to
altar the rates on the refined product to
suit himself A con fession to this effect
was extorted from the Democratic men,
bers of the Ways and Means committee
on the floor of the house If the Mills
bill should become law in its present
shape it would not, to the general con-
sumner, lower the price of sugar to the ex-
tent OF even a hundredth of a cent a

AT the Jsnesville fair, w. D. Hoard,
the Republican candidate for governor,
said, among other facts, the following:
American farmers now market 80 per
cent. of their products at home, and only
10 per cent. abroad. What the Deme-
Gratis ask is that this 80 per cent. market
be destroyed in wild nope that the 10
per cent. market will be bettered."

DEMOCRATS MAKE WAR ON WOMEN AND
CHILDREN.
WASHINGTON, Sept Ex-senator Hale
said to-day that the first of next week be
intended to ask, in the senate, for an in
vestigation into the operation of political
circular issued at the War department,
which will bring into question the charges
madein the force of employees at the Rock
Island arsenal. The circular is as follows:
CONFIDENTIAL.
ORDNANCE OFFICE, WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4, 1SS6.-To
the Commanding Officers of the Nation
al Armories at Springfield, Mass, and
Rock Island, Ill.,, and Of the Tinted
States Arsenals at New York, Vest Troy,
~ Y, Philadelphia, Pa, Boston, Mass,
Benecia, CAL, etc.-SIR: While srsenals
and the armories are not intended to be
converted into political machines, two po-
liical parties in this country are recog-
nized 1t is therefore ordered that here
after, in employing and dIschargng en-
ployes OF any and all grades, other things
being equal, and qualifications satisfact-
DRY, Democrats will be favored, the object
being to divide the force in the different
grades between Democrats and Repub-
licans. This rule will apply to W omen and
children asswell as to men, and will be
strictly enforced Respectfully, your
obedent servant, s. ". BENET,
Brig Gen, Chief of Ordnance, US. Army.
When the above was first shown to
Senator Hale he would not believe that
the circular was genuine, but Gen. Benet
verified it and stated that it was issued at
the request Of Secretary Endcott to APP
pease the clamor for places in thearmories.
1t is represented here that quite number
of women and children have been dis
missed from the arsenal at Rock Island,
and Democratic voters have been put in
to their places. Gen. Benet contends,
however, that the order was intended to
affect only these who were to be employed,
and not to bring about the removal of
employees, and that the effect has been
the same at all arsenals and amories
Senator Halls says he will ask for an in
vestigation of this matter, and thai he will
ask to have the officers at the Rock Islam
arsenal and those VINO have, during the
past two years, been dismissed from en-
ployment there summoned to Washington
tn testify II q will also sumnon Score
tary Endcott and Gen. Benet There
has been a thorough Investigation made
here as to the genuineness and effect of
the order of The Indianapolis Journal
and some proof, it is stated, is to be fur
nished by the management of that paper
that this order has worked great hardships
in many instances among the women and
children who have been dismissed from
arsenals, and especially at Rock Island.

The La ST Week.

Before tee REPORTER shall again greet
its readers The National political contest
at the polls will have taken place, and
unless the issue is very close the result
will have been determined.
The contest is very sharp one, each
side puttiny ia every possible effort, and
both sides apparently confident of yicto-
ry,
Republican prospects are looking
brighter as the day of election approach
es. The democracy of New Yo'k city are
divided on the mayorslty with two candi-
dates in thu deld, and the feeling is in
tense between the opposing factions.
Governor Hill and President Cleveland
have not yet become reconciled, and it Is
reported that Hill says he will get 10000
more votes in the State than Cleveland.
Republican expect to come down to llar-
IAN bridge with 50 to - thousand plural
ity. -Four years ago they came there
with but 70 ono, partly on account of the
severe storms that prevailed
Republicans are entirely united and are
acting in perfect harmony, confident of
victory. In Buffalo, Clevelands own
city where he Is best known, there will be
perhaps the largest gain of any city in
the State, and probably enough to over
come the 100 votes by which he carried
the State IN ls94
In the other close states the outlook is
equally encouraging. The fight in lndi-
candidate or President makes the contest
there nor interesting and intense, but
Gen. Harr son IS strong at his home, ant
unless apr eaiances are greatly at fault
will win t.efo.
In New Jersey the prohibitory part!
seems to oe weakening Gen, Fske ha
overdone the matter, and there is a reac
tion apparent.
From CTR standpoint the outlook il
bright for success to the Republican par
ty, and the vital principles of protection
to American workmen and American bus
mess mel. and American interests. We
confidently hope for favorable issue he
lieving it for the greatest good of the
reatest number of citizens Of our coun-
try.
Should we, however, be destined to
disappointment as we were four years
ago, we will not be dsheartcned or give
up the contest. The Republican hosts are
not to be conquered in one battle or two
battles. The principles are righteous
ones and the contest will not be given up
even should the battle go against right.
