vastly to increase their profits. that 1t will
encourage the building up of rival estab

trusts that now so mercilessly rob the coun.

protection, as laid down by the Inter. Ocean,
and strictly adhering to 1t, the Mills bill
aims to perfect that system by restoring to
1t the element of competition and crushing
out the hideous trust abuse to which the
protective principle has been perverted. 1t
Is not, therefore, because the Mills bill In
any degree lessens-on the contrary. II ,dds
to-the protection of our industries, but
because 1t embodies this deadly thrust at

L. W. BREWER FOR CONGRESS.

The nomination of l.. W. BREWER. of
this city, by the democracy OF the Sth Is
uict, as Its candidate for congress, was In
the nature of surprise, because 1t was not
supposed Mr. Brewer would accept such a
nomination. But the democracy OF the
Sth district seems 10 have followed the
presidents lead In the choice of new men
whom the politicians had not thought OF {;
and all his appointments of this kind have
been superb. so, too, must this nomination
he considered. II Is excellent-most ex-
cellent. No name that convention could
have presented could have been more &C.
ceptable to the democracy or the people
especially Of this county, where he Is
known OF all men; and the Information
that Mr. Brewer will accept the nomination
so heartily rendered, has given the demo
Gratis of the district courage to go into the
canvass with the conviction that his election
is possible, II not, indeed, probable.
Mr.. Brewer was born In Clarkson,
Monroe Co., N. Y, In 1842, and came with
his parents to this county In 1874, settling
near Earlville, where Mr.. Brewer grew to
manhood on farm. During the war he
was a member of Co. l, 4th Dickey) cav
airy, and Of the 18th (consolidated) cavalry,
and was mustered out March 9th, 1866
He then became a lawyer; was city
attorney from 1874 to 1877, three years
and states attorney from 1878 to 1882.
The canvass Mr.. Brewer now undertakes
Is no more a hopeless case" as republi
cans pretend II Is, than was his canvass fol
states attorney In this county In 1878. The
majority against the democrats then had
been never less than about 800; but he
made canvass of surprising vigor and
effectiveness and was elected by about SO(
majority. He will enter upon the presen,
canvass In the same spirit, and conduct Il
to win. The democracy will assist him
because he should win, both because he II
pre- eminently the man of all men named
who should, from considerations Of per
sonal qualities, II no other, be elected, and
because the principles upon which he Wal
nominated are pre-eminently those looking
to the best interests Of the people Of the
district
As lawyer, MIR. Brewer has no superior
at the La Sale county bar In ability, learn
Ing or experience. As lawyer and man
his record Is that of unimpeachable integ
rity. strict obedience to duty under an,
and all circumstances, coupled with untir

Before the war the south was simply
producer of cotton, tobacco and cane. Not
unit! the overthrow of the carpet-bag gov
ernments did 1t begin to attract capital
Now, under democratic rule, 1t produces
coin, wheat and oats by the millions of
bushels also. Great coal fields have been
opened, and the coal products, which
amounted to almost nothing twenty years
ago, now amounts to 25 1000, 900 tons, and is
now doubling every five years. The rail-
road mileage has doubled since 1880, with
an invested capital of ST ,5OOOOO,O0O. Iron
mines of enormous values are being devel-
oped, and southern iron, recent product,
is entering into competition with that OF
the north in northern markets. Manufsc-
lures are springipg up everywhere, and
people are contented and prospecting. Their
only sin is they do not vote the republican
ticket.

The Republican recommendations spo-

commission of 1897 differed from the
Mills tariff bill In the very important res.
pect that, while the average reduction pro.
posed was greater, II neither struck down
nor crippled any important industry, bat
cut down the duty on articles which could
stand it-Repubtican.
Then, If they cut down the duty on
articles which could stand 1t" why didn',
the republicans have the honesty to pass
the bill? That commission said the inter.
ests of manufacturers and consumers alike
demanded a reduction of tariff duties of an
average of 20 per cent, substantially Nor
rison's horizontal cut of 20 per cent. Ye,
the Republicans rejected the report, made
a new bill reducing the tax about l.3 per
cent and call that I" reforming the tariff
by Its f,iends." Now In 1888, however, they
are truthful, they say they don't propose to
reform the taritf-but will In preference

touch the idol of an Ubiquitous tariff that Is

The Hon. j. w. Duncan addressed the
Cook county democracy on last Tuesday
evening on the Issues of the day. The
speech was an able one, and at Its conclu.
sion the club adopted unanimously vote
of thanks. Referring to the charge of free
trade brought against the democracy, ne
said: There can never be any such
thing as tree trade In this country 30
long as the present form Of government
exists the words are q misnomor. 1t
requires an immense amount Of money TO
run this government In its every day
business affairs. To pay the running
expenses presupposes the raising of money
The question Is how to raise IT. The
democracy propose to raise 1t by system
OF Indirect taxation, which differs from
the direct taxation of states In the fact that
1t Is not applied directly to the person of
the people Another question In the same
connection Is, how much money Is 1t
necessary to collect? Again the democracy
stands ready with an answer: raise only as
much as is necessary to conduct the affairs
of the government In an honest, fair and
businesssllke way In speaking of the
mission of the party he said: at Is the
mission Of the democratic party to act as
the friend Of the laborers, and show to
them that reduction of war taxes Is not
going to Introduce the pauper labor Of
Europe into this country. tits our mission
to show that a reduction of taxation does
not mean free trade, but rather the
chespening of the necessaries of life that
are daily used by the workingmen. If We
prove to them that we are their friends
they will respond properly in November"
He also discussed the affairs of the state
campaign In an able manner, and called
