The Falling Waters correspondent
of the Statesman is undoubtedly Attic
ted with political dyspepsia. The
Republicans should hunt him out and
present him with bottle of Perry
Davis Pain Killer. He writes as q
democrat and says:
"Why don't Congress send some mon.
ey to our township, our farmers and la
boring men are starving, just as the Re-
publicans said they would do when
Cleveland was elected"
This is meant for wit. You can
laugh next summer Gan open con-
fession is good for the SOUL" He fails
to sign his signature or name to the
above. "Chickens will come home to
roost" anyhow. He is no doubt
chewing his party's cud and splitting
free whiskey and snuffboxes.

The Democratic party further pro-
poses to so adjust the tariff that it will
bear most lightly on the necessaries OF
life and most heavily on the Injuries. p
Statesman.
Then why in the name of heaven
doesn't it do it. Why keep up taxesD
on sugar, rice and tobacco used
more than anything else by the peo-
pie, instead of making the farmers
suffer by free wool? If it is in favor
of bearing most heavily on the luxu-
ries, why did it not increase the tariff
on these things in the Mills bill? 1t
leaves them just as they were. Such
bosh is an insult to the intelligence of
the people. 1t proposes but acts con-
trarily.

would have taken away the demand

duced in 1886 to prohibit contract
ing for labor 1t passed both houses
with unanimity. 1t passed the House
Of Representatives in the first ses-
sion of the last Congress the Senate
in the second session. 1t provided
that in the erection or construction
of public buildings, or other public
works, or for all supplies of every
description for the use of any of the
departments, no convict or prison
labor whatever, or the product there
of, should be employed or used on
any public building or work, or in
the preparation or manufacture of
any of the supplies therefor. 1t was
also provided that in all advertise
ments for such contracts this condi-
ton should be inserted. The bill
reached President Cleveland after
the 2Sth of February, 1887, or with
in a few days of the time fixed by
law for adjournment.
He had three courses open to him
to sign it, if he approved it to re-
turn it with his objections to the
House of Representatives, in which
it originated, and take the chance OF
its passage over the veto; or to kill
it outright by pocketing it. He chose
the last. His refusal to return ii
with objections deprived Congress Of
all power to pass it Notwithstanding
his objections, and gave the measure
deathblow.

SINCE the Republicans have introdu-

THE TRUST BUSINESS.

Mr.. Blaine gave the Trust business
a terrible pounding in speech in
Indiana, on Wednesday last. With
the calcium light of knowledge, he
exhibited 10 an immense audience all
the great monopolizing trusts now
aiding the free trade theories of Mr..
Cleveland, and why they are doing
it. Mr.. Havemeyer, of New York,
is an active democrat and president
of the Sugar Trust. He appeared
before the committee that formulated
the Mills bill and obtained such an
arrangement of duty as was equiva-
lent to $6,0o0,000, in the pockets of
the Trust. The next Trust was the
Salt Trust. It turned out that Wei
lington r. Burt, the present demo
cratic nominee for Governor of Mich
igan, is openly conducting its affairs
with the expectation, in the event of
free trade, Of forming a combination
with the London syndicate, and adj
vancing the price of salt, both in
Great Britain and here, 800 per cent.
The next, was the Standard Oil Trust,
and when he touched upon the cleo
tion of Senator Payne, of Ohio, and
the demand to have his election in
vestigated on account of his connec-
ton with that Trust, and the refusal
Of the democratic Senators to vote
for such investigation, great excite
rnent resulted. These, with the Cot
ton Seed OIL and other Trusts, he
claimed we're the great feeders of
Cleveland's campaign fund. These
items of information, if they go un-
contradicted, and are assumed as
true, furnish material for grave con-
sideration upon the part Of voters. It
with free trade there can be such a
combination of interests through and
by either trusts or syndicates, that
will advance the prices Of necessaries
and that it is now prevented by pro
lection, then, in addition to protect
ing our industries, is added that of
protecting prices to consumers. The
Trust business is evidently secret
enemy to protection, and there must
be pecuniary motives underlying
such movement

As the cold weather approaches, one be-
comes more particular about the quality Of
soap one uses, taking into consideration
the effect it has upon the skin.
Hands and face naturally chafe and
roughen in cold weather, and common
soap, (made usually of lye and grease,
greatly increases this roughness, while, on
the contrary, good, pure soap prevents
it.
For these reasons Glycerine Soap is al
ways in greater demand at this season,
than at any other time of the year.

A PRECEDENT fer Cleveland.


It is often said that the absence OF OPP
position to candidate in presidential
nominating convention is an evidence
that he is popular, not only with his par
ty, but with the country, particularly il
that candidate is already in Office and
seeks denomination. This sort of talk,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat, is
common just now in democratic news
papers and among democratic polite
ians. But it is misleading and false.
Martin Van Buren, was renominated in
1910 with what was virtually unani-
nous vote. A resolution was adopted
by the delegates OF the twenty -one states
represented at the convention placing
Van Buren, in nomination. Against this
resolution there was no opposition. He
had been ever three years in Office and
his record was before the country And,
as is also the case with Cleveland this
year, he had no competitor at the con
vention. Nevertheless, at the polls he
was badly beaten by General Harrison,
the nominee for the wing party.
Van Buren, ferty Eight years ago had
several important advantages which
Cleveland does not enjoy today. The
Undertook statesman was the most dex-
treus politician and consumate wire
puller OF his time. AS head OF the So
called albany Regency" he had at his
service the most astute and sngacious
clique Of party organizers and managers
which the country knew or has known
since that date, as the political heir Of
ex-P President Andrew jackson, he was
supported BY man whose will and pur-
pose no democrat dared to disregard.
And Of no less importance than these
aids, he had the prestige acquired by
overwhelmingly defeating, in 1885, for
the same Office, the man to whom he was
opposed in 1910. And yet, with all
these advantages, Van Buren,, in the lat
ter year, obtained but go electoral votes,
as compared with 234 received by the
standard bearer Of the wings. Here is a
chapter from the political history Of the
country where exuberant friends OF Mr..
Cleveland would do well to bear 10
mind.

TIE Higher Military Ranks.

The higher military ranks of general
and lieutenant general now belong to
the past in this country, with the single
exception of General Sherman, who is on
the retired list.
Grant was made lieutenant general
early in 1864 and placed in command OF
all the armies of the Union. When the
war closed the Office OF general was Gre
ated, to which he was promoted and
Sherman became acknowledgement.
When Grant became president he pro-
NOTED Sherman to general and Sheri-
dan to lieutenant general.
General Sherman was retired at the
regulation age of 62 and lieutenant gen
|eral Sheridan became commander in
chief. Under the laws creating these
higher military ranks, those holding
them could be retired on full pay, and
General Sherman now draws the same
pay he received when in active service.
A few months before the death OF
General Grant he was restored to the re-
tired list OF the army as general. The
act was passed just as congress was
about to adjourn. The last nomination
that President Arthur sent to the senate
was that Of Grant for general ON the re-
tired list, and the senate clock had to be
stopped to enable the nomination to get
before the body and be confirmed.
The country then, for the first time in
its history, had two generals on the
army list.
Soon after General Sheridan's recent
illness began, congress passed an act
with practical unanimity, authorizing
his promotion to the rank Of general.
The bill was hastily transcribed and GER
titled and rushed to the president, who
at once signed il promptly delivered the
commission, that had been previously
prepared, to the dying hero. He signed
his new title but once to an official order,
and that was for the necessary changes
in his staff organization.
