THE HOME MARKET.

General Harrison's policy as declared by himself, and that of the republican party as announced in their platform and in their press organs, is to reserve the American markets exclusively to Ameri cans, to shut out entirely all importations, to develop the home market and fix its standard to the capacities for home pro duction. Of course such policy is ab- surd in these days of International ex- change, but if it were possible or ad visable 47 per cent tariff would not do it. We imported last year over $450, GOO, ,00C worth of goods on which over $214, 900, ,00C tax was collected. It will be seen, there fore, that if the home market is to be kept entirely apart from foreign competition the tariff must be made still higher A 47 per cent tariff is unequal to it's object.
 Will the country agree to an increase of the tariff We think not

CALIFORNIA; ELECTORAL VOTE.

CALIFORNIA; ELECTORAL VOTE.
 The democrats are hopeful of capturing the eight electoral votes of California for Cleveland and Thurman as they did eight years ago for Harrison and English. This hope is based on Harrison's unpopularity on account of his Chinese record. On every occasion that Harrison had opportunity to prove himself he pronounced in favor ot the Chinese industrial regime and against the interests of the people of Californi the Chinese exclusion bill and every phase of the Chinese treaty. Further than this. he voted to naturalize Chinamen and give them the right of suffrage. The platform adopted at Chicago declares against Chinese immigration and Harrison i'll his letter of acceptance, although he doesn't point to his past as guarantee of his future action, promises that, if elected, he will be an anti Chinese president.
 Of course Harrison's present anxiety tC pose in antagonism to the Chinese will be accepted as a bid for California's vote. His record his conduct and policy when the golden prize of the presidency was not dangling before his eyes will be considered better test of his real sentiments, and that record is distinctly and overwhelm- ingly pro-Chinese. Hence it is that the voters of California will be disposed tC weigh him in the balance on election day, l oF I Int fl,ai1 votes for the democratic candidates Those who object to Chinese immigration who loathe the moon-eyed heather af citizens or neighbors, will hesitate tt give their vote to man whose whole public career has been one of friendship and support of the despised and hated race It is this hostility to Harrison, which doe' not seem to soften as the days go by, tha leads the democrats to look with hopefu eyes to California.
 Should their hope be realized, should the state give it's vote to Cleveland anc Thurman-which, however, we are no specially disposed to anticipate-th' electoral votes of Connecticut might no perhaps play so important part in de termining the result. Nevertheless tn. Connecticut democracy should go into thil campaign with the idea that the state ii absolutely needed to the success of Cleve land and Thurman. It is such spirit tha is calculated to insure a favorable result here.
 We will gladly secure California if tn, fates are kindly; but we must carry Con necticut certainly.

glass which he uses in his factory, he could compete with the English who are under selling him in Canada. With raw material free he claims that his men would have more work and more pay, and that the present dull seasons in his business would be done away with. Less than two years ago MT Cannon found that, compelled to pay 45 per cent duty, he was obliged to give up competition with England for the Canadian trade. ''At that time," he says, ''I told my men how l was situated. l must pay less wages or get my materials cheaper To get cheaper material and keep up the quality of my goods was out of the question. My men understood it perfectly and submitted to Q reduction. made this up later on. l got in im- proved machinery, and found that l could sell more cheaply than before and get some of the Canadian trade back. But you can put it down as fact that l was compelled to lower wages because of the tariff. Yet the republicans call this high tariff protec ton and say that it is keeping up their wages I ran my shop three months without making cent before I cut the wages"
 Mir Cannon's has been the experience ot many other manufacturers. With bur densome tax on the materials that enter into the production of their goods they are forced to abandon competition with English manufacturers who get their materials free of tax, and being restricted to a home market which is unequal in it's consumptive capacitythey are forced to cut wages and have periodic spells of dullness consequent on inevitable overproduction. The remedy for this state of things is found in the free admission of raw mater als So far as the labor cost is concerned American manufacturers are at no dis advantage with their rivals. We have the testimony of Consul Schoenhof, Mir Evarts, MT Blaine and other trustworthy investiga- tors on that point. With cheaper materi- als they could reach out for wider markets and larger competition, and labor would reap the benefit.
 THE policy of free raw materials and a protective tariff on manufactured goods is the correct one in this campaign. It will be adopted by the country in November,

IRE republican policy of making the rich richer and the poor poorer is shown in the removal of the income tax and other burdens on wealth to put the tax on the poor, In 1866 the tax on incomes exceed ing $500 amounted to $72,000, ,00O, on railroads and express companies S, ,00O, ,00O was levied, on insurance companies and banks $14, ,000, 900 tax was raised. Stamp taxes and other forms of taxation that bore on the rich brought into the treasury a total of $143, ,00O,0O0. These taxes were abolished by the republicans, and heavy taxes substituted on sugar and rice, on blankets and clothing, on tools and farm ing implements. That's how the repub- licans showed their friendship for the poor workingman, and that's why they want the taxes kept up now. The workingman has tumbled to the republican racket.

\ CONVERTED MANUFACTURERS.

The New Haven Morning News, that most excellent and sturdy champion ot tariff reform, tells of the conversion to the good cause of Frederick c. Cannon, pres ident of a manufacturing concern in that city which makes elevators and carriage lamps. The company stands among the largest manufacturers of lamps in the country. MT Cannon has been, in his own language, "a dyed in-the-wool republican" /" and a member of the Young Mems Repub- l;can club of New Haven. He says that, with the free admission of tin, copper and

THE Philadelphia Times, an independ ent paper, vouches for report that Sen ator Don Cameron in conversation with al Indiana democrat recently asked ''Do you people intend to let that creature Harrison carry Indiana" He is repre- sented to have spoken in the most con temptuous way of Harrison, and Senators Allison of Iowa and Hale of Maine listened without resenting his language. It is mighty lucky for these three republicans that they will not be called upon to make any trip to the white house in search o1 patronage. That creature Harrison m ght be bit cranky.

THE" straw" votes that are being bundled by the republican papers are a good deal like the straws with which they tickled Blaine four years ago. They weren't around on election day. If "straw" votes are any comfort to the organs and the little man under his grandfather's hat let him have it: there won't be straw enough in the country to tickle him after the 9th of November

A Present for France.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The National
theater was crowded tonight with a notice
able, distinguished and brilliant audience.
The occasion was the performance given
under the auspices of the President and Mrs,
Cleveland, and a committee of ladies very
prominent in the social life of the capital,
for the benefit of the fund with which it is
proposed to procure a statue of George
Washington for presentation to the French
Republic. The stage attraction was Steele
Mackaye's drama of "Paul Kauver,' adj
mirably performed under his personal di-
rection by the entire New York company
Among the occupants of private boxes were
the President and wife, Senator and Mrs.
Jones, Of Nevada, with Miss Bayard and the
French Minister as their guests; the Chinese
Munster and suite, Postmaster General and
Mrs. Dickinson, Senator and Mrs. Hearst, of
California, and General and Mrs. Sherman.
The body Of the house was filled with people
of fashion and official distinction. The
theater was draped with American flags fur
by General Sheridan and French flags
sent from the consulate at New York at the
request of N. Rouston, the French Minister.

THE LAW,
Amendments Proposed by Senator cullom.

WASHINGTON, Special.-A long series of
amendments has been proposed in the SEN
ate for incorporation in the interstate COM
merce act. Among the important CHANGES
contemplated is one which requires that
three days notice shall be given in cases of
reduction Of rates. This is, ofcourse. to Sc.
cure greater stability Of rates and to prevent
the cutting, which is so disastrous TO the
public IS we'll as to the roads themselves.
Another important change relates to under.
billing. The amendment makes shippers
who are guilty Of fraud in connection with
their shipments, and who m~isrepresent the
amount Of their rates to the railroad officials,
amenable to the same penalties which are
now provided for the railroad officials who
wilfully violate this provision of the law.
The penalty for the violation of the act now
is a 6ne not exceeding $1,000. The new
amendment provides in addition that any
one convicted of violating the law shall be
subject to imprisonment for not exceeding
two years, or be fined, or both, in the discre-
ton of the court. Members of the CON-
mittee believe that these changes will make
the law much more effective. The A.
tempt to agree upon any amendment which
should prevent the competition of the Cana
dian Pacific and the Grand Trunk with our
own trunk aud transcontinental roads, was
abandoned. The Canadian Pacific does not
touch our territory, and no means have been
suggested by which the interstate law can be
made applicable to II.

TO SWEET EDEN,S SHoRE.U
Is 1t B:st to Burn or to Bury the Dead?

PHILADELPHIA, Special.-The body Of
Damon Y. Kilgore, the Spiritualist, was yes.
terday cremated at the Philadelphia crema-
torium. The services were conducted by
Spiritualists. Mrs. Kilgore, accompanied
by her two little girls, descended by q spiral
staircase to the cremating room, followed by
the rest Of the party, except the speaker and
choir, who remained around the opening
through which the coffin had descended.
The long, cofiu-shaped iron pan called the
crib was laid on the floor by the coffin, and
was lined with long strips of muslin soaked
in alum. The body was then laid in the
crib and completely covered with another
layer of soaked cloths to prevent the clothes
from taking fire. All this time Mrs. Kilgore
and the little girls attentively watched the
preparations. The crib was then caught up
with iron handles and hung on an iron bar
projecting from a truck at q height even
with the furnace door. The truck was then
wheeled to the furnace, when the alright
door was opened with q patent wrench and
As it swung back disclosed q long, narrow
brick retort, g%listening with red heat. The
crib gently slid from the arm of the truck
and as it struck the red-hot floor of the re-
tort = bright blaze flashed around the feet.
and before the door could be closed had en-
veloped the whole body. The choir stood
around the hole above and sang, "Nearer to
Sweet Eden's Shore" The family and
friends of the dead mar then took their last
look at his burning body through a little
glass peep hoe in the door and the funeral
was over.
