SIN. sTEwAHTs RECOMrEND

During the next four months we
may look for any amountof political
gossip in the newspapers, affecting
the qualifications Of the respective
candidates for the presidency and
vicc-prcsidoucy furnished, itismost
likely, because the writers think the
public require such talk. Gen.
Harrison is already receiving a large
share Of such attention, which il is
to be supposed he will moekly en-
durc, because it Is a coroIlary to the
position he occupies. In Washing
ton a press correspondent seized
hold of Senator Stewart TO inquire
how Gen. Harrison would be likely
to stand i'm the Golden state. The
senator had nothing but words Of
encouragement to give.
"How is he on the silver ques-
tom" was one Of the queries pro-
pounded The answer was again
satisfactory. "The enemies of
silvcr,n said the Nevada senator,
"are i'm Wall street, not in Indiana"
Which for an cpigrm sounds well
enough. "Hc is in favor of both
gold and silver and will heartily
endorse the republican PLATFORM
The senator has a bill i'm congress
TO procure the free coinage of silver
and il provides that any person,
lcitizcn or alicn,) who shall offer
silvcrbullion at a mint or assay Office
in this country shall have il coined
into standard dollars and returned
10 him for circulation. Under the
present coinage law the bullion is
bought by the United States treas
Irer of the person offering it and
paid for at its market rate. The
ntcnt Of Mr.. Stewards bill is to
give the royalty ON the coinage to
The bullion owner, n neat little
DcnclUction amounting to 35 per
cent. As the senator is nm extensive
mine owner we can understand he
Is a warm advocate of its passage.
But In discussing Gen. Harrison's
attitude ON the silver question with
a journalist who has devoted no
attention to the subject, he puts him
of with glittering generalities,
which he knows amounts TO moth
ing. When he winds up his lauda-
ton with the honest statement, "If.
he is elected president he will be
president of all the people," he
neutralizes the early portion of his
talk. Because in the interest of the
people, the president, no matter to
what party belonging, will never
consent TO debasiug the currency
for the profit ofa few miue-Owners,
and hence the senator has simply
been talking I'm Il circle,

what are we going to do with the
product? The above furnishes an
answer. In the large cities Of the
east, where millions Of our suffer
ing fellow creatures are confined, a
fruit diet during the summer months
an absolute necessity. The present
supply is miserably inadequate, be-
cause the price is prohibitive to the
poorer class. Less than car lots are
not profitable to send; but when the
fruit industry Of this region shall
attain its full proportions, there will
be profit to the producer and hy-
gienic food supply furnished to the
eastern consumer

use. In the political atmosphere of
the capital the President was for a long
time a phenomenon, q puzzle to those
accustomed to its conditions. The
politicians Of the country, accustomed
to perverted craftsmanship, perverted
methods, perverted policies, those who
were trained for a generation to con-
slider public men and politics as game
and gamesters, did not at first make
out this President of ours. The Sem
ate attempted to crowd him. The
chariot of the American House of Lords
drove against him and was ditched.
This man treats us, said the Senators,
as If we were the Common Council Of
Buffalo. In the midst OF this confusion
common sense said you are all looking
behind, below, around, anywhere
but at the simple nature of things.
This President, who seems to you
unscrutable in his ways and
strange in his methods. 80 rare
in this life of yours, is simply an
honest man, an honest man with q
great brain, intrepid heart and tireless
vigor, indomitable perseverance, abso-
lutte fearlessness and conscious power,
who stands for the right with the
firmness OF the rock of ages itself.
Known and appreciated Of all men, he
is hated and reviled with a bitterness
of partisan malignity by the hosts Of
error, and he is still loved for the enc
mics he has made and is making. In
private life he is plain American citi-
zen, of simple manners and of singular
gentleness and kindness of heart. He
has an embracing sympathy for dis
tress which can feel for the suffering
of people, or, as I know, can take
from pelting storm to the shelter of
his carriage ragged, frightened child
from the street.
Standing out against the horizon
Of the history Of the age one OF the
noblest figures in the life OF tho Re
public will be that of Grover Cleve-
land. It will be written Of him that
he was an unselfish American states
man, and that he served the people"

A Little List Prepared by q We1l-Posted

Some Of the most powerful forces in
the Republican National convention
might be enumerated thus:
IL. Jay Gould and the Wabash
wrecking crew thirsting for revenge
against Gresham for removing from
control Of the system Gould's right
hand man, General G. NJ. Dodge,
formerly Of Iowa, who was on the
ground carly and was deep in the
secrets Of every anti-Gresham caucus.
Little seen by the public, no man exer-
cised q more potent influence on the
result than Gould's most efficient and
capable lieutenant. Gouldism as ar
rayed against Gresham represents
5000, 600, 900 capital.
2. The Central Pacific Stanford
Crocker- Huntington ring, with its
able, plausible attorney, Greed Hay
mond, at the head OF the California
delegation. This firm has in its pos
session $3.50. .OOO, 900 of railroad plunder
which President Of the Gresham
stamp might compel it to disgorge.
Naturally, it fought hard to prevent
the nomination of any such man.
''3. The Union Pacific Credit Mobil-
Ter crowd, represented by Lawyer
Thurston, who is shrewd, brainy and
nervy, and packed delegation gross
ly misrepresenting the granger State
of Nebraska. This ring has $3.50, ,000,-
600 worth Of railroad Credit Mobilier
and other Doodle to protect. 1t is
deeply in debt to the Government,
draws dividends on debts which it
never intends to pay during the life
time of any human being now in ex-
istence.

FACTS FOR woRkMEN.

What Five Dollars VIII Buy In tho United
States and in England.
Working-men are told by the prohib-
itory tariff advocates that they get bet
ter wages under our high protective
policy than do the workmen in Eu-
rope, and that the cost of living is no
greater, and in fact is less as far as the
necessaries of comfortable living are
concerned. Perhaps the working-men
have believed this, because they have
had no means at hand for testing its
truth. They may think differently
when the facts are laid before them.
A working-man in Cleveland has five
dollars to spend in necessaries for his
family. Another working-man in Lon
don has an equivalent sum. Which
mans money will 60 the farthestp An
examination of the price-lists Of the
establishments of similar class in
London and Cleveland willnanswer the
question. All the standard brands
of Chicago meats are quoted the
same in London as here. In hams.
bacon and lard and all brands of
-four the difference is SO small
that Cleveland prices and London
prices are practically the same. But
ter and cheese would come in the same
category. II there are any extra dis
counts from the price list where the
articles are packed in tin it will be on
the side Of the English purchaser, as
ar exporter gets q rebate ON tin sent
out of tho country. It is when We get
TO the grocery department that our
high protective tariff gets in its work.
The following is what the Cleveland
working-nan can buy with his five
dollars at one OF our first-class stores.
The prices quoted are taken from a
list issued monthly by one of our
largest retail merchants. and We have
not the least doubt in saying that his
profits are as small as II is possible to

A true American sentiment recog.

that honor lies in honest toll. Con-
tented labor Is an element of National

to become Americans. but will mjuri-

titled to our field of labor.
In accepting the nomination 10 the
Office of Governor, nearly two years
ago, made the following statement,
to which l have steadily adhered:
"The lnboring Glasses constitute tho main
part Of our population. They should be pro-
