seBarrels Of the Useful Stuff

"We've made confounded fools OF our.
selves BEFORE" said an English manufac.
turer the other day to an American tou.
rist in London" in sending printed stuff
to the States, but we've substituted bar
rels Of the useful stuff this year and hope
for the success of the Democratic party"
The interest taken in the Presidential
contest by the English capitalists may be
understood from the admission OF
Doulton, the proprietor Of large pottery
establishment in which 1900 people are
employed, that he has sent 500 pounds
sterling to the Commercial Exchange
Club OF London, which handed 1t over
to the Golden Club for transmission to
the United States to aid in defraying the
necessary expenses" of Cleveland's
election. This man declared that he and
others in the pottery business would give
three years profits if needed to see the
Mills bill pass and Free Trade successful
in America. The pamphlets and lfy-
sheets of the Golden Club have not pro.
duced the impression hoped for on the
minds Of the American people, and now
"barrels OF the useful stu q are to be tried.
But the workingmen Of this Republic can.
not be bribed by British gold into the
abandonment of their principles any
more than they can be bamboozled by
Free-Trade sophistries, and feel the same
contempt for those who hope to corrupt
them that the gallant Irish-American
General Joseph Reed, of Revolutionary
fame, did when he replied to the ennis.

A New York street car conductor was
recently interviewed by q citizen Of
Washington, with the following result:
The conductor, on being asked II tho
1900 employees of the line would not vote
for Cleveland, replied:
"Not much this time. We will vote
vote for Harrison. Idon't believe forty
of the whole force will vote any other
ticket"
"Why such unanimity" was asked.
"On account of Cleveland's tariff mes
sage. We know on which side the labor
ing mems bread is buttered, and we pro-
pose to protect our own interests. Cleve.-
land was all right till he sent In that mes
sage. He will find that his free trade
message will prove to be the Burchard
of TIM Democratic party In this cam
paign."

Pension Veto Spies.


It is significantly said by the Chicago
Inter Ocean that when the president
returns pension bill, assigning as cause
for disapproval that he has learned that
that the beneficiary is Objectionable by
reason of some act Of small imprudence
or Of some technical informality, a ques-
tion arises: How did the chief magistrate
Of great nation learn these trivialitiesi
How has he become acquainted with the
private history of Sarah, widow Of the
late Private Jones? How does he como
to know that twelve years ago Corporal
Robinson was drenched to the skin while
returning from q meeting Of Grand
Army post upon which knowledge he
bases the assumption that the disease
made the basis Of pension application
was thus contracted, and not by exposure
during four years Of gallant servicei
Who are the sneaking spies that furnish
the president with information that
serves as texts for his hopocritical' veto
homiliesi
The Democratic party north, even in
its extremity Of copperheadism, may
safely be acquitted of the odious charge.
The Office of spy is hateful everywhere,
and specially in country districts, whence
most of the alleged proofs furnished to
the president have come. Rancorous
Democrat though Brown may be, he will
not take the bread out of Smiths mouth
simply because he was once q soldier; far
less will he deprive Smiths widow and
orphans Of the chance Of pension Of %
per month. The Democratic party north
is made Of less ignoble STUFF than this.
The inference is plain. The sneaking
spies are hirelings Of the administration.
No one does such infamous work gratuit-
ously. There must be, to such degrada-
tion have we come, agents of the United
States government, and they must act
under instructions from Washington,
and the instructions from Washington
must be in obedience to those brigadiers
and representatives Of the southern tier
who seek to make the record and claims
Of the Union soldier contemplate by fish.
ing out Of the personal history Of appli-
cants for pension every act Of indiscretion
or indiscretion or irregularity which
malice remembers or envy exaggerateS
Mr.. Cleveland's spy-informed vetoes seem
to be the result Of perfectly planned
scheme.

Was II Clcvcland's Ignorance I

In the three months, and more, that
Cleveland took after his nomination to
write his letter Of acceptance, he certain
ly had time to "look up his references
and avoid all errors of fact. Fallacious
argument and errors in logic were to be
expected, for Mr.. Cleveland does not
possess that mental quality which is the
mark of deep thinker, OF being able to
dissociate himself from bis opinions, and
view them critically from a neutral
falsity. But an error in facts is unex.
cusable. Yet, in the long argument in.
jected into his letter, attempting to prove
that the tariff increases the cost OF our
manufactured products, he employs this
language.
We know that this increased cost prevents
IN competition with those countries which have
the advantage Of free raw material
This is either q deliberate fslsehood,
penned with intent to deceive, OF an ex.
hibition Of ignorance so gross that it is
land ever exhibited such lack OF knowl-
edge Of the law. Very probably it was
simple ignorance Of the fact that the
present tariff law allows drawback Of the
entire duty on the imported raw material,
where goods are manufacted and ex.
ported to foreign countries. We quote
the exact language Of Section 3,0l9, Re.
vised Statutes OF the United States:
There shall be allowed on oil articles wholly
manufactured Of materials imported. on which
duties have been paid, whom exported, draw
backs equal In amount to the duty paid on such
materials, and NO more to be sscertained under

On TrustA

This issue between the two great par
ties Is complicated by many questions
bearing more or less directly on the real
subject of controversy, and which serves
quite as often to confOund as to explain
the true issue. As an example Of this
may be adduced the matter of "trusts,"
or voluntary associations for the purpose
Of limiting production or enhancing
prices. The Democratic party denounces
''trusts" a. resultant effect Of an ex-
cessive tax on imports. This Is intended
a. q reply to the Republican claim that
competition reduces the price of the do
mestic product below that Of the foreign
article, plus the import duty. To this
the Republican party answers that the
''trust" is special disease of our civil
ization, and not in any degree dependent
on tax on imports. In confirmation Of
this view 1t points to the STANDARD Oil"
and "Whisky Trust" which can by no
means be considered as affected by tariff
legislation, and propose, instead Of an ILL
digested reduction Of the import tax, pro-
posing only to reduce the surplus, az o
remedy for "trusts" not dependent on
tax on imports, to study the disease itself
and apply the remedy directly to the sore.
Instead Of overturning our system Of pro-
lection, to kill the trusts" 1t proposes
to kill the 'trusts" to avoid the degrade
ton Of American labor.
tits upon the diversity and complexity
Of these side issues, a. they may DO
called-the secondary controversies ON
which the main argument depends-thst
the Democratic party relies to confuse
the minds Of those who have neither the
time nor opportunity to fully investigate
each. To do 80, indeed, under the cir
cumstancss, between now and the day Of
election, is an imposslbility to most
voters, perhaps to all.-[Tourgee.

hungry as a hunter.' As she said this
 her eye happened to fall on me. was
 staring at her with sort of fascination
 and my guilty expression must have be-
 betrayed me, for her face changed in a
 moment and under cover of the noise she
 leaned over and whispered, in her quick,
 imperative way, Jack, did you have something to tell me?'
 sssYes did, muttercd I, in q dogged tone, with my eyes fixed on my plate and my ears tingling.
 "Rhoda said nothing more and began to be angry that my supper should be spoiled in spite of everything. All through my fathers long blessing, my wrath was growing hotter and I deter mined to eat, no matter what she did. The moment was served, fell to with exaggerated ardor, but I could see out of the corner of my eye that, while Rhoda's plate was supplied with tongue and sal ad, she was only playing with her knife and fork, though she attacked the loaf with gnsto and kept Ezra busy supply ing her glass. No one made any com ment, for she was talking and laughing in iher irresistible way, telling stories with inimitable drollery and waiting on every one. Besides, with all her high spirits, there was that sort of pride about her which made us very shy of taking liberties. She told me once that no one ever put question to her which she did not wish to answer. I saw Ezra say something, in low voice, but she only responded by roguish word. He look ed disconsolate.
 ssWhen the ice-cream was brought, I thought she would certainly repent; she was extravagantly fond of sweets and it looked so enticing in grandmother's little flat plates, with tiny old-fashioned spoons-for that was before our ice-cream forks were thought of. My heart was beginning to swell and I gave her an en- treating glance; but she was in the midst of an account of a bee-hunting escapade and never seemed to notice that her fla vorite ice was melting mournfully away and resolving itself into lemon-colored sea. How got through the rest of the meal I hardly know; but l remember wondering if any one had ever been sol bad before. That evening l got Ezra in- to corner and told him the whole story and what kind of girl our Rhoda was probably he knew before, for they were married in less than a year. But from that day to this,' added uncle, looking around, ''I never tasted stolen sweets. That was my first great lesson in self control and honor."
 We all pushed back our chairs as uncle rose and knocked the ashes out of his pipe. l saw Susan looking at him with a rather odd expression; and it happen ed to strike me, as things will-what never occurred to me before-that Me Donnel's head is just the shape of un- cle's.
