President Arthur was pretty good re- publican he was also pretty good tariff reformer as is shown by these words of his annual message in 1882 "A total abolition of excise taxes would almost inevitably prove serious if not insurmountable ob- stacle to thorough revision of the tariff and to any considerable reduction in i'm port duties. The present tariff system is, in many respects, unjust. It makes un- equal distributions both of it's burdens and it's benefits. I recommend an enlarge ment of the free list so as to include with in it the numerous articles which yield in considerable revenue, simpli6cation of the complex and inconsistent schedule of duties upon certain manufactures, partic- ularly those of cotton, iron and steel, and a substantial reduction of the duties upon those articles, and . upon sugar, molasses, silk, wool and woolen goods" President Arthur was free trader if the republican doctrine of these latter days means any thing.

AN EXCELLENT RECORD.

The administration of President Cleve- land has been a notably successful one, ,and presents solid reason for it's continuance. It has been a peculiarly honest and cour- ageous one, utterly devoid of temporizing expediency, halting hesitancy or timid trimming. As Governor Hill said in his address last Saturday, men may question the accuracy of his policy or the prudence of his actions, but no man will impugn his honesty, courage CT motives. The record he has made during his tenure of office is the best proof of President Cleveland's ex- cellence, and that record has always hewed close to what was conceived to be the right
 Even the republicans admit that, had not President Cleveland sent out his tariff message of last December and thus forced the issue of reform into this campaign nothing under heaven could have prevented his reelection to the presidency But a condition confronted the president-a con dition that threatened financial stringency and industrial disaster unless some legisla- tive remedy were applied-and with deep sense of his official obligations he sent congress message that startled and sur prised the world. It was consummately courageous thing, and stamped the man as one of the heroic figures of the age. The issue of the campaign, the issue on which the democracy must stand or fall next month, was made when the words of this brave and honest man were read in congress and flashed to the utter most bounds of this great country. There can be little doubt how the people will de- eide when they go to the ballot box next month. Lower taxes on life's necessaries, less horading of surplus in the national treasury, less of subsidies and bounties to capitalists and monopolists, more work and better wages, cheaper living and more industrial prosperity these are the boons and the blessings that are promised by the election of President Cleveland.
 From whatever standpoint the administration of President Cleve- land be regarded, it cannot fail to excite admiration and approval. His record on pensions, public lands, tariff reform 1 and all the problems that enter into na- tional legislation and come within the province of the executive is particularly excellent, and is singularly free from dis stimulation, disingenuousness and deceit. His administration of affairs has been conspicuously conservative, and conserva- tive men of business are anxious that there be no change, and especially a change which presages a return to the corruption, extravagance and dishonesty that prevailed before the inauguration of President Cleveland.
 The reelection of President Cleveland is the best thing for the country, and it is gratifying that the signs point to this result.

voted to what is best and most promising in our system of government.
 It is easy to believe that the democracy will gain most from the registration of new voters. As matter of fact the reports that come from the leading centers show that this is so. This fact must be taken into account when estimates are made and opinions formed of the probabilities of the election. Andsit is avery encouraging fact for demo- crats to recall when they are disposed to feel doubtful of the result.
 The new vote is going to have an in, fluence on this election, and the new vote is chiefly democratic.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-24
THE NEW VOTERS,

From all quarters, especially from the cities, come reports of an unusually heavy registration this year. In this state New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Meriden and
 our own city report an unprecedentedly large number of persons who will this year for the first time exercise the elective franchise. Many of the new voters are foreigners, some of many years, residence in the country who have not cared hither- to to vote, and it is quite natural to believe that the great majority of these men will affiliate with the democratic party. It is the party that is most congenial to them, that holds out to them the hand of friend ship, that is truly accordant with the spirit of our institution that, in word, is the direct antithesis to
 the aristocracies and class systems of the old world. It is certainly not unnatural to assume that four-ffths at least of the newly naturalized vote will ally itself with the democratic party Of the
 native vote the large portion, and more particularly that of the industrial centers, 5 will also gravitate to the democracy. The young men of America like party which is aggressive, progressive and positive.
 When they look to the two great political bodies they see the republican party hesi- tant, undetermined and negative, allied to vague war traditions and held together merely by the hope of official plnnder; on the other they see the democratic party positive, determined, aggressive and de-

 This is a startling showing. Hardly a thing in the above but enters into the daily life of every workingman in the land. And when the democratic party, with the design of lessening the cost of necessaries to the wage-earner, proposes to cut down the tax, the republicans shout free trade with all the vigor of which they are capa- ble. But the scare has passed away; the bugaboo has faded before the strong light of common sense. The blessing of buying necessaries of life at a heavily increased, in some cases more than doubled, price is losing it's attractiveness to the working man. And when he comes to cast his ballot, with consciousness that it will de- termi ne to some extent the fate of this kind of taxation, he is pretty apt to cast it for the party that will adjust it more equitably to his conditions.
 Heavy taxation on necessaries must go, and the party that sustains it must stand | back

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox x White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

The Country Indorsos CIeysisnd's Ms.
sage Forcing the Tariff Discussion upou
the Politicians.
10 IL only two months end a half since the
President prccipitatcd the tariff discussion
on the country by sending 20 Congress a
message devoted exclusively 70 that sub
jcct 10 WIS an extraordinary act Of the
Executive. The practice has been for Pres
idcnts 20 address Congress at its first rcgu-
lar session upon all subjects touching the
general domestic condition OF the country
and its relations with foreign powers-and
when Mr.. Cleveland, deliberately setting
tho precedent aside, devoted his entire mes
sago 20 one single question OF the domestic
policy, he emphasized the supreme impor.
lance Of that question, aud forced u recog-
milton OF Il, not only by Congress, but by

Such a review affords a most cheering re-

DANGER IN SAUERKRAuT.
A Barrel of the Fragrant Stuff Explode
and Nearly KILLS "A Man

Barrel of the Fragrant Stuff Exploties
and Nearly Kills a Man.
Another dangerous explosive has been
discovered, says the Cleveland Press. 1t is
sauerkraut A Philadelphia man made the
discovery. He put lot of fresh sauerkraut
In barrel and then sealed it up tight. Some
days later he wandered down cellar to see
now the kraut was prospecting. Suddenly
the family was startled b Y a terrific racket.
and the next moment the man came ont of
the cellar in great hurry At least it is
presumed that he was in great hurry, be-
cause he did not wait to come up the stair
way, but came right up through the hard
wood floor and never stopped until he had
driven his head half way through the CELL
ing. When he finally dropped to the floor it
was noticed that there was an irregular row
OF barrel slaves sticking out of his side.
His personal appearance was some
what disco uraging to his best friends
There was sauerkraut in his eyes and ears
and whiskers. In fact, there appeared
to be more or less saucrkraut hang
ing out of every pore of his skin, and he
seemed visibly agitated. The principal
reason for believing that he was agitated
was because he yelled so loud that the
neighbors dropped every thing and came
rushing out of their houses in a terrible
fright. After the excitement had subsidized
sufficiently to make an investigation, it was
found that there was six-inch plastering
OF sauerkraut over the walls and every
thing else in the cellar. The barrel of
sauerkraut had exploded. Since this little
incident took place, a German scientist,
who keeps stand on the market and cuts
up nearly five hundred cabbages day, has
explained to a venturesome reporter that
when cask of kraut IS sealed when very
fresh, there is sure to be more or less
trouble. As the stuff ferments it swells.
and II it is in tightly-corkcd barrel cask
OF gunpowder is hardly more dangerous.
New discoveries are constantly revolution
ling old methods, and we may yet live to
sec the war-like nations of the earth firing
sauerkraut at each other.

From Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime

heard echoes of the. Presidents message.
These States are giving out plain hints
that they are tired Of protecting manufact-
ures In the distant industrial States Of the
Northeast, and tired also of the party that

pion Of Northwestern Republicanism, con-
tnues boldly swinging the sword against
the high war tariff, and against all, nigh

maintain it-and even such distinguished

strokes. And other Republican journals
In the Northwest, only less able and nflu-
entail than the TribHHe, are initiating its
example. Indeed, il may be said the battle
Is as good as fought and ended already in
the NOrthwest-and the result is a clear
popular sentiment In favor Of the lower
tariff policy presented in the Presidents
message A curious proof of this is that
the PrOtectionists are actually beginning
